The first plan I released as a candidate for Governor of Minnesota was taking on fraud – including a top-to-bottom audit of state government, strengthening criminal penalties, and creating a Do-Not-Pay database to automatically block anyone convicted of fraud from state contracts.

“The lies spewed and the amount of death and destruction caused by Big Oil in the pursuit of riches puts Big Tobacco to shame.”

This doesn’t change the fact that Congress never authorized spending YOUR hard-earned taxpayer dollars on Trump’s golden ballroom. I’ll keep fighting to ensure taxpayers aren’t footing the bill for Trump’s vanity projects while the cost of everyday expenses continues to soar.

Democrats are laser focused on the issues that Americans care about. We will continue to fight this flagrant waste of taxpayer money relentlessly in the courts.
- CS
The MAGA Supreme Court is rubber stamping Trump’s vanity-driven, gilded corruption. As costs skyrocket, the administration is wasting money on an endless and illegal war, corporate giveaways, and Trump’s pet projects.

As Republicans’ cuts continue to take effect, even more Nevadans will lose their insurance. It’s not sustainable for our community health centers and hospitals, and these cuts must be reversed.
- JR
Washington Republicans cut Medicaid and refused to extend tax credits that make Marketplace insurance more affordable. Now, more Nevadans are uninsured and community health centers are taking on the cost.

Freshening up my corn hole skills with the UAW at Black Lake. (Special thanks to my team for editing out all the other trash throws…)

Don’t look away – this administration is still trying to stoke bogus claims of a stolen 2020 election to justify interference in the midterms. We must continue to speak up to preserve our free & fair elections.

If you received as many government handouts and subsidies as Elon Musk has, you'd be super rich too.

Having access to legal counsel during immigration proceedings is essential to fair outcomes, yet beyond the reach of many. I’m leading a bill to ensure that families have a fighting chance to present their cases and achieve fair results in the courts. www.sacbee.com/news/politic...

Trump & Rubio's blockade of Cuba has created a humanitarian crisis. They are making life miserable for the Cuban people, including children — not the regime. We must learn from six decades of failed Cuba policy. The blockade must end.

We talked about the need for real, long-term manufacturing policy that creates good union jobs and why we need to keep Chinese-connected vehicles out of our market and make sure the next generation of vehicles is built by American workers, in American factories.

It was great to be with @uaw.org members at Region 1-D Summer School at Black Lake this week. The UAW center here has a special and storied place in our history, dating back to 1970, where folks could gather, train, and bring their families — all to strengthen solidarity.

I'm calling Republicans' bluff on whether they ACTUALLY support IVF like they claim to.

Kicked off the day yesterday with @bobbyscott.house.gov in Newport News at a roundtable on special education. We heard from parents, educators, and advocates about the challenges facing students with disabilities and discussed the need to fully fund IDEA and protect special ed programs.

I’m demanding answers from Secretary Hegseth and calling for a bipartisan congressional delegation to visit the ship. thehill.com/homenews/603...

Secretary Hegseth owes Congress, our servicemembers, and their families answers about the conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Eight months at sea without a port call is completely unacceptable.

ICE is fundamentally broken. We need to rip it down to the studs. Start over.

First Liam Conejo Ramos. Now Liam Tadeo. How many five-year-old boys need to be taken by ICE before Republicans will admit to the cruelty of this mass deportation campaign? Where is our humanity? How can we justify putting a five-year-old through this?

In Detroit Lakes, Peter Jacobson — who ran the local hospital for years — knows firsthand how devastating these cuts can be for families and the entire community. If the Trump administration won’t act, as Governor, I will with a health care tax credit for Minnesotans.
- AK
8 million people lost their health care across the country over the last year because the Trump administration cut Medicaid and allowed the health care tax credit to expire.

Show support & strength that will finally persuade Putin to accept peace, because America stands with Ukraine. He’s a criminal mob thug who understands only military pushback, like Patriot & THAAD interceptors. 2/

Sputtering & spiraling under the weight of a war that’s achieving none of its goals and tanking the global economy, Donald Trump is increasingly lashing out at our allies. Under his leadership, America is more isolated and less prepared for the next generation of threats.

The Trump admin is turning the Small Business Administration into the Big Business Administration. This rule would decimate opportunities for actual small businesses by opening the door to federal resources for billion dollar companies. This admin must end its war on Main Street.

During this year’s Tahoe Summit, we were joined by community and government partners providing resources and information on how to best protect and restore the Lake Tahoe Basin. We wouldn’t be here today without the hard work of these partners and everything they do to keep this region flourishing.

Arizona’s future is bright because battle-tested fighters like Katie Hobbs and @joannamendoza.com continue stepping up — and they’re not doing it alone. We’re gonna have their back by making calls and knocking doors so we can win this November.

Trump’s war in Iran has been one blunder after another & Americans are paying the price. This war has now taken the lives of 18 US service members & left over 700 wounded. Here at home, costs are rising from the gas station to the grocery store. It’s past time to END THIS WAR.

Proud to join @padilla.senate.gov to announce over $42 million in new safety and modernization upgrades across our Amtrak Gold Runner route to improve the passenger experience and expand accessibility. This federal funding will ensure safety between the rail route and pedestrian and vehicle access.

Federal policy decisions have real consequences for communities like Monitor Township. We need long-term policies -- not chaos -- that gives our workers opportunity and companies the confidence to invest and grow in Michigan.

SK Siltron’s closure results in real pain, and that pain is felt by the entire Great Lakes Bay Region and especially those whose lives were upended.

Back-to-school shopping just got a whole lot more expensive thanks to Trump’s tariffs. This is just another thing that’s squeezing working families right now, and they need relief.

Trump, his family, and his billionaire cronies are all getting richer, directly profiting from the higher costs your family is fronting every day. In case you had any doubt, Trump is the most corrupt president this country’s ever known.

The parents I know already have a lot to juggle. Now, they're adding more expensive back-to-school supplies to the list. We should be able to set kids up to succeed whether it's with a notebook or annual checkup. It doesn't have to be this hard.

Trump has made attacking the free press a hallmark of his presidency, from shaming reporters in the Oval Office to using the DOJ to go after journalists and their sources. We should all be alarmed by his escalating attacks on one of the foundations of our democracy.

The building will have over a dozen new classrooms, a brand-new gymnasium and early childhood education programs. But most importantly, 2,000 kids will have a place to learn and grow while their parents work, with scholarships available to make this all more affordable for families.
