His reckless, wasteful war—endless, like the deployment of the Lincoln’s sailors—has made America weaker & less safe. Congress must act—across party lines—to stop it. 2

Trump sends our Navy into treacherous uncharted seas teeming with turmoil & peril. His demeaning comments on the USS Abraham Lincoln’s arduous deployment are pure arrogance & disrespect. His plans for revamping carriers are puerile fantasy, hiking costs & tanking force. 1/

It’s taking gas prices longer than normal to come down thanks to Trump’s war in Iran – and filling up your tank in Nevada is even more expensive than the national average. This war needs to end and Trump needs to do SOMETHING to lower costs so Nevada families can get some relief at the gas pump.

Homeless and foster youth face barriers most kids will never encounter applying to college. We should make it easier, not harder, for these kids. I have a bipartisan bill to make sure homeless & foster youth get the hand up they deserve.

Students with disabilities are students first. The Admin's plan to move programs for these students out of the Dept of Ed will hamper student services, increase backlogs, and make it harder to protect against discrimination. A terrible decision for students and their families.

Honored to attend Indiafest today—an incredible celebration of Indian culture, entrepreneurship and the invaluable contributions our 50,000-plus Indian-American community makes to our state.

No child should ever have to ask, “How long can I live without my insulin?” Yet, this is a reality families across our country face. Today, I heard from one of my constituents about what it would mean to finally cap insulin costs at $35 a month⬇️

Colorado thanks you, Dr. Freeman, for taking great care of our children and for your leadership in service to our nation's doctors.

Congratulations to Colorado's own Dr. Brandi Kaye Freeman on her installation as President of the National Medical Association.

Minnesotans deserve a Governor who does what’s right for them – not what’s right for a Wisconsin billionaire donor and Donald Trump.
- AK
My opponent calls Trump’s health care cuts “good for Minnesota.” And when Trump refused to extend the premium tax credits, she stood by and did nothing. As Governor, I’ll take action to bring down prescription drug costs and give Minnesotans relief from rising premiums.

Our troops are exhausted and our adversaries are watching Trump pull back and divert our forces toward Iran. With no end in sight. We are increasingly less and less safe under this President’s incompetence.

Because of Trump's cuts to Medicaid, rural healthcare centers in places like Graham County are at risk of closing. Republicans are making people sicker and poorer to give tax cuts to the rich.

These sailors are doing everything we ask of them, thousands of miles from home, with no clear return date and under incredibly difficult circumstances. Making sure they have enough food, basic necessities, and safe living conditions is the bare minimum.

My office has heard from Michigan families worried about what their loved ones are facing onboard the Lincoln. They are raising concerns about the quality and quantity of food, prolonged mail disruptions, and declining crew morale.

The reports coming from sailors and military families about conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are deeply concerning. These brave American servicemembers have been deployed for 260 days already.

Again, I would urge the president to actually sit down with the crew that just came back on the new-design USS Ford. If he did, he wouldn’t be wasting his time and your money talking about changing the "look."

Trump’s illegal war isn’t just costing lives and driving up prices. It’s draining our military stockpiles. We've already lost roughly 25% of our Reaper drone fleet, costing taxpayers over $1.3 billion. America is paying to be less prepared. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Each of these canceled grants will put patients further away from the care that they need. These actions from RFK, Jr.'s agency will leave Americans sicker, poorer, and dying from preventable causes. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/s...

But Trump’s cuts are putting hospitals like Winona at risk. That puts lives at risk, too. As your Governor, I will fight to keep your health care close to home.

Retired nurse Tom Smart worked at Winona Health as a nurse for 20 years. He went from provider to patient in an instant when he had a heart attack. When every second counts, he was able to turn to care right in his community: Winona Health.

I’m heartbroken to hear of a shooting early this morning on Virginia State University’s campus. I’m thinking of all who were injured and of the entire VSU community after this tragedy. It’s devastating to see another Virginia campus harmed by gun violence.

Measles is back. War in the Middle East. Mortgage rates at new highs. Donald Trump is a failed President.

RFK Jr. has badly eroded trust in our public health system, undermined science, and put conspiracy theories before facts. He should RESIGN or be FIRED immediately.

In my trips this year to Moldova I was deeply inspired by the resilience & resolve of this small brave nation. They know the Russian threat up close & personally—militarily & politically. They’re resisting.
- RB
Putin’s insidious work to cripple western democracies—a cancerous, concerted campaign—knows no bounds. He mixes bloodthirsty slaughter in Ukraine with covert interference in Moldova & elsewhere. He must be stopped—in our own national interest.

As authorities continue their investigation, I know this is an incredibly difficult time for the entire community. Michiganders who need support or help finding local resources can call 211, available 24/7, to get connected with services.

Back at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, home to rescued eagles who’ve become ambassadors for conservation across Minnesota. Great to be here with Preston Cook, who joined me in leading the fight to make the bald eagle our official national bird. These eagles are a true Minnesota treasure.

We are breaking all the wrong climate records. Yet, Republicans' backwards approach is not only failing to address climate change but is driving up costs for working families while Big Polluters profit. We must do more to combat climate change – not less. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

As a nation, we support our economy by investing in roads and bridges and public education. It’s time to do the same for child care — make this investment so that mamas and daddies can work — and then we’ll all see the payoff.

New Mexico mothers deserve access to quality care before, during, and after childbirth. That’s why I'm working to expand Medicaid to cover doulas, midwives, and Tribal midwives.

This summer, wildfires forced the Boundary Waters to close at the height of the season – a warning that Northern Minnesota’s fire risk is rising. As Governor, I’ll make sure our local and volunteer firefighter departments have the equipment, training, and staffing they need.

I met with Teamsters & BLET to discuss rail safety and the importance of supporting NJ's railroad workers. When we think about transportation and helping people get to where they need to go, we can't forget about our trains and railroads, the people who power them, and the safety of all passengers.

An Admiral says conditions on the Lincoln were “extremely bad” & “still not good.” Our military men & women are ready for hardships. Not for their leaders to worsen them.

The President & Sec. Hegseth are ignoring the serious morale issues on the Lincoln. Trump said the deployment should be longer. We know the truth—sailors are struggling.

After winning Teacher of the Year award at a conference in TX, UMD Professor Kibret was detained by ICE at the airport. 3 weeks later he’s still in custody. He’s not the “worst of the worst” & detaining him isn’t making communities safer. He should be released, now. www.wbaltv.com/article/mary...
