Small towns and rural communities are seeing a troubling trend of labor and delivery services being cut at rural hospitals. It means when expecting mothers go into labor, they have to drive farther to get the care they need, which can be dangerous for both baby and mom.

A vacant school in Eagle Bend is turning into 23 units of affordable senior housing. This is what innovative solutions to our rural housing shortage look like. We need to expand this across the state! www.inhnews.com/single-post/...

Trump’s EPA would rather shield Big Tech from accountability than protect your health and well-being. Now, they want to silence people that speak up against their pollution-first agenda. Communities have a right to weigh in when a data center comes to their backyard.

I look forward to seeing the details of this settlement. My DETOUR Act would directly halt some of the deceptive practices that led to this settlement, and not just from Meta but across all social media platforms.

This Women’s Equality Day marks 106 years since the adoption of the 19th Amendment, which granted millions of women the right to vote. Today, we honor the generations of suffragettes who fought for equal rights and recommit to advancing their cause.

I was the first Senator to call on RFK Jr. to resign or be fired in May 2025, and I will keep making that call. Under his leadership we've had the worst measles outbreak in 35 years — including a new outbreak in three Maryland counties and two deaths in Pennsylvania.

“They murdered our child. People need to be held responsible when they murder people in this country." Alex Pretti's family is right, we need accountability for him & every victim of Trump's lawless ICE operation. That Alex’s family still has no answers is absolutely shameful.

Trump and Rubio are handing Saudi Arabia the technology to produce nuclear weapons material—the most reckless nuclear deal in U.S. history. This is the starting gun for a Middle East nuclear arms race and is corruption at the expense of national security. Congress must reject it.

Inflation increasing. The Iran war raging on with no end in sight. A trade war with Canada. And what does Trump want? To rename Lake Ontario. Donald Trump’s personal grievances first, Americans last.

The Trump Administration is looking to cut rural schools and libraries off from high-speed internet. Less broadband means less opportunity. Rural students deserve the same chance to succeed as everyone else. https://bit.ly/4gmDQW8

I visited Haley Ekstrom’s farm near Odin where she raises cattle with her family and grows corn for feed. Also impressed by the cover crops. Another great example of the pride Minnesota farmers and ranchers take in their work. Food doesn’t magically appear on your table.

This outcome speaks for itself. Big Tech companies like Meta are purposely harming our kids. That's why I introduced a bill requiring parental permission before kids under 16 join social media. Time to put an end to Big Tech making billions at the expense of our kids' well-being.

Pete Hegseth’s pastor doesn’t believe women should have the right to vote. Seriously. That’s how extreme this administration really is. Your voice and your vote matter. Use it to help build a better future for our kids, families, and communities.

The Trump admin struck secret deals with 17 Big Pharma companies in the last year. I asked RFK Jr. to make those deals public. He agreed. Months later, still crickets. Why should Americans believe this isn't just another Trump handout to fatten Big Pharma's pockets?

Meta agrees to pay over $17 BILLION to states to because their platforms are addicting kids to social media. I’ve been calling them out on this for years. Now we need to pass federal kids’ safety rules so they can stop blaming parents. It’s not the parents. It’s the products.

It’s been 106 years since the 19th Amendment was certified, giving all women nationwide the right to vote. We must renew our commitment to safeguarding that hard-won right by supporting stronger legal protections for voting access and standing against efforts to disenfranchise Americans.

We can allow our kids to have the face-to-face interactions they need for social and emotional learning while still giving them the technical skills they need to succeed in the 21st century. As Governor, I will use proven, evidence-based approaches to drive real results for our students.

In my administration, we will raise student achievement and lower time spent on screens. That means working with school districts to limit time spent on screens — whether it's a computer or a tablet — and removing cell phones from classrooms, except for emergencies.

Inflation today is higher than when Trump took office in January 2025, higher than when he launched his chaotic tariffs in April 2025, and higher than when he launched his illegal war in Iran five months ago. Trump’s decisions are driving up costs and eating into your paycheck.

Donald Trump’s new Canadian tariffs are causing costs to spike for American families. But Trump’s recklessness also just pushed Canada to tax American seafood. Fisheries are a cornerstone of our economy in Massachusetts—our businesses and our communities deserve help, not harm.

Thanks to the farmers and producers at Sharing our Roots for the tour!

Growers then harvest and sell at farmers markets or seasonal stands in the region. Fostering this kind of talent is how we begin to build a pipeline of growers prepared to take over as the next generation of farmers.
- TS
Thankfully, organizations like Sharing Our Roots are trying to change that. Sharing Our Roots is a community farm in Northfield where growers and producers can rent small plots of land to grow their crops.

The average age of America’s farmer is nearing 60 years old, yet our young farmers tasked with taking over are being boxed out from starting their own operations. How can they be expected to compete with corporate investors buying land?

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.

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.
