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.

Blessed to end my day today in Craig County hearing from local leaders and seeing the New Castle Volunteer Fire Department! Every single county — from our biggest to some of our least populous — is important to me. What a privilege to meet as many Virginians as possible.

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.

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.

President Trump said this war would end soon after it started. Six months later, American servicemembers have paid with their lives, and families are also paying a price through higher costs and billions in taxpayer dollars spent — with no clear end in sight. apnews.com/article/trum...

A year after Trump's $1 trillion cut to Medicaid, hospitals like Deaconess Illinois Medical Center are feeling the impact & cutting back on services. Our hospitals deserve more support, not less. I'm dedicated to reversing these shameful cuts & strengthening Medicaid & the ACA.

Following last week's senseless SCOTUS ruling, this is an important step to curb Trump's fraudulent scheme to rig the midterm elections. Trump has made it clear he wants to create chaos & suppress turnout in the hopes of clinging to power — we must keep fighting back.

63 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington. That message continues to inspire us. As the Trump-Vance Administration seeks to roll back the progress made on civil rights, we must work together to uphold and advance Dr. King's vision for our nation.
