Teachers like Chelsea are focused on helping every student succeed. As a literacy teacher in St. Cloud, she knows firsthand that keeping cell phones out of the classroom helps students focus on what matters: reading, writing, critical thinking, and learning.

When we visited McPhee Reservoir and chatted with water officials, we heard what we’ve been hearing all across Colorado: This drought needs to be addressed now.

Beaver Island, ~32 miles off Charlevoix, is full of fun characters. One of them was the aptly-named Shark Bite, a rescued feral cat who lounges right at the checkout counter of the hardware store.

When a handful of companies control the economy, a handful of CEOs dictate what you watch on TV, which doctor you’re allowed to see, what you eat, whether predators get online access to your kids, and what apartment you can rent. That's exactly why we need to block mega-mergers.

Trump can waste his time renaming Lake Ontario & other bodies of water all he wants, but here are the facts: Trump started this trade war with Canada, and his tariffs are raising prices for working families.

If you build it, they will come. That’s the mantra for so many communities when it comes to having great walking and biking trails. Boardman Lake Loop in TC is a model, and it’s amazing to watch its impact on the local economy.

This is big! A federal court just upheld Oregon's law to make polluters pay for the damage they’ve done. Now we must pass my Polluters Pay Act & bring this model nation-wide. It's simple: When polluters trash our environment, they should be the ones cleaning it up.

RFK JR., Trump, and their endless attacks on science and safety are making us less safe, less healthy, and less sure what to trust when making the most basic decision: what to eat. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Let's be clear: this isn't a win. This is proof Trump put our service members at risk to get Venezuelan oil for his billionaire buddies. Putting our soldiers’ lives on the line for private profit is a gross dereliction of his constitutional duty. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/28/b...

This is the cost of RFK's conspiracy theories & this admin's attacks on evidence-based science. 26 years ago, the US eliminated measles. Now, in Maryland & across America, we're seeing outbreaks & we risk losing elimination status. The measles vaccine is safe & effective. Period.

Like millions of Americans, I rely on Amtrak to get where I need to go. One of the easiest ways to get from Jersey down to the Capitol is by train. When I sat down with Amtrak Board Director Rob Gleason, we discussed the importance of Amtrak's investment in New Jersey, and beyond. 1/2

Trump’s tariffs have already cost Minnesotans $4.8 billion — that’s equivalent to $2,000 per household. While our businesses and families are struggling with higher costs, the President is doubling down on his trade war with Canada – our state’s #1 trading partner.

President Trump’s proposed plan is duplicative, costly, and unserious. Establishing a dedicated service academy for space may sound good on paper, but our nation already has an exceptional institution that trains tomorrow’s Space Force leaders: it’s called the U.S. Air Force Academy. (1/3)

Back again this year for one of my favorite State Fair traditions: the 4-H Beef Show. Minnesota has more than 1,000 4-H clubs and 50,000 kids enrolled — and every one of them is part of a long agricultural tradition that’s led our state for generations.

As corporate profits skyrocket, working people are being stiffed like never before. Trump promised to tip the scales back towards working Americans. His admin's own data reveals the betrayal. We need to shake up this rigged system & ensure working people get their fair share.

Trump said ICE would go after criminals. But I've had to step in to get a business owner and military family members released. These are people who serve their communities and make our country stronger. Deporting them doesn't make us any safer.

It’s Fire Prevention Day at the State Fair! After this summer’s wildfires raged across Northern Minnesota, we’re especially grateful for the firefighters who protect our state and keep us safe.

A Trump official diverted firefighting resources to a fire on his private ranch. He got 9 aircraft for the 7-acre fire while the 90,000 acre Grasshopper fire in Oregon got about the same. These guys kneecapped wildfire prevention and now they’re diverting what few resources remain for personal gain.

71 years ago, 14-year-old Emmett Till was lynched by white supremacists. His mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, held an open-casket wake so the world could see what hatred had done to her son. We will never let their history be erased or forgotten.

When I met with organic farmers in Norwich, they told me they’re worried our current food system is heading toward collapse. We need to listen to farmers and pass a bipartisan Farm Bill that levels the playing field so they can succeed and our country can keep benefitting from healthy food.

Restaurants are getting hammered by high costs, and on that list of growing costs is all the streaming services they need to watch our sports teams. Great to be in Eau Claire to talk about my bill to cut streaming costs so we can all watch the Pack, Brewers, and Bucks – for free.

When Trump blocks clean energy, he raises your costs. Period. Worse, he’s doing it on purpose, to steer your money to his cronies’ expensive fossil fuel plants — a payback to his big donors, at your expense. www.canarymedia.com/articles/cle...

Remember when President Trump said that his war with Iran would be a “short-term excursion?” That was six months ago. Six months of troops in danger. Six months of higher gas prices. Six months of spending billions of taxpayer dollars.

We’re 6 months into Trump’s war of choice with Iran, and the president has nothing to show for it. Rather than focusing on ending this war and bringing down costs for Americans, Trump is busy renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America.

One of my favorite parts of the Fair is how it brings people together from all across our state — and the country! Ben and I got to spend the day talking to Minnesotans about what's on their minds – and got to see this year’s Princess Kay of the Milky Way and her butter sculpture!

Donald Trump gutted the team that held student loan servicers accountable. Now, one of the biggest loan servicers, MOHELA, has reportedly sent false notices to borrowers that they’re overdue on payments. If Trump won't do anything, I will. I'm pressing for accountability.
