Women waited too long and fought too damn hard to let anyone in the White House take away our rights. Happy Women’s Equality Day.

Scores of people in the West Bank have been the victims of settler violence, including nine U.S. citizens. The Government of Israel must work to end the ongoing harassment, threats, attacks and killings and prosecute those responsible for any acts of violence.

Last stop on my 9-county southwestern Minnesota tour: the Ekstrom cattle farm in Martin County! Haley and her husband and dad raise cattle and at the same time Haley — having just had a baby — wrote an adorable children’s book called “Ruby the Runaway!”

@repvindman.bsky.social man and I had an important discussion with veterans in Stafford yesterday. I was glad to hear that they’re happy with the quality of care they receive from VA physicians and staff, and will keep working with VA leaders to cut wait times and improve access to that care.

Absolutely despicable. Trump's ICE arrested the wife of Army Sgt. Hedcar Leonel Turcios Juarez in front of their 6-year-old. How can we expect our troops to be at their best when their Commander in Chief is deporting their loved ones at home? This is no way to honor our heroes.

Donald Trump held millions in oil and gas company stocks at the end of 2025. Today, those stocks are worth as much as $15.5 million more. What happened? He started a war with Iran this year — and sent oil and gas stocks soaring.

With Americans already being hit with higher gas, grocery, and electricity prices, a trade war with Canada would be a disaster for the Commonwealth and the US economy. Massachusetts imports $10 billion in goods from Canada every year but Trump says we ‘don’t need Canada’. He’s wrong.

Trump’s tariff tax isn’t hurting his wallet. But it is hurting working Americans’ – who still haven’t received the $1,700 they’re owed per household for his last illegal tariff misadventure. When Trump said he doesn't think about Americans' financial situation, he wasn't lying.

Eight years ago today, we lost John McCain. He served our country with courage throughout his life — as a Navy pilot who was taken as a POW, a Senator for over 30 years, and a leader who never stopped fighting for Arizona. That kind of service is worth honoring, today and always.

Voting by mail is safe and secure. Michiganders know it, and President Trump knows it — he voted by mail this very month. Yet he’s trying to strip mail-in voting from other Americans in an attempt to skew who and where people can vote.

Stop 6: Rock County! I’m at Luverne’s “Kids Rock!” Child Care Center, which opened last year with federal funding I helped secure — and now has 150+ kids enrolled. When parents can’t find care, they can’t go to work, and local economies suffer – we must support solutions like this.

This is deeply sad. Measles cases continue to spread even though vaccines are safe, effective, and readily available. Don’t believe the dangerous conspiracies coming from the Trump administration. Protect yourself, your family, and your community. Get vaccinated.

Dolly Parton leaves behind so much more than her incredible music. Her heart was as big as her talent, and children in New Mexico and around the world knew her generosity through the hundreds of millions of books sent through her Imagination Library. She will be missed.

Trump’s turned the White House into a pay-to-play casino. While prices are going up for Americans, things couldn’t be going better for his stock portfolio. Trump continues to profit off Americans’ pain – including the senseless war he started in Iran. Pure corruption.

This new policy will rip apart hundreds of thousands of families, devastate Nevada’s economy, and destroy our communities. Our tourism sector and the immigrants who power it are the bedrock of our state. The Trump Admin must call off this policy IMMEDIATELY.

There is no good reason for President Trump to pick a trade war with Canada—our neighbor, our ally, and one of our most important trading partners. His new tariffs will raise costs for American consumers, kill U.S. manufacturing jobs, and alienate a key ally.

Talk about making things unaffordable! Trump’s tariff taxes are forecast to cost Minnesotans $2500 per family this year. His actions against Canada alone are resulting in $20 B in retaliatory tariffs. Lisa Demuth has praised Trump’s tariffs and called them “effective.”

Six months ago, Jeanine Pirro saluted President Trump and tried to criminally indict me and five colleagues for a 90-second video that simply restated the law. That was on top of doing the same to a number of other public figures who the President perceived as enemies of the state.
