The President can say what he wants, but Congress is a separate branch of government. On a bipartisan basis, I believe members of Congress overwhelmingly understand how important the EU, NATO and our allies and partners around the world are to America's national security.

Donald Trump is suing the IRS for $10 billion because a contractor illegally shared his tax returns. Do each of the thousands of taxpayers who saw their confidential tax information illegally given to DHS get $10 billion as well?

Chinese investors may be secretly buying access to information on our cutting-edge military and intelligence capabilities. How? By investing in SpaceX, a major U.S. military contractor. We can't let this slide. I'm pressing Sec. Hegseth for answers.

Last night, my colleagues and I wished Canadian Ambassador Kirsten Hillman farewell after her six years of service as ambassador. While President Trump has introduced headwinds into the U.S.-Canada relationship, Congress continues to strongly support our neighbor up north.

Our GRID Act stops Big Tech’s AI-driven drain on family’s pocketbooks. The rapid buildout of power-hungry data centers is straining our electrical grid—driving up demand & causing Americans’ energy bills to skyrocket.

The idea that Congress is powerless to stand up to Trump is wrong. The Senate took action and today the House finished the job in reversing these tariffs that are costing you money. It’s just a start. We need to find our power and use it to fight for you and your families.

President Trump's so-called "Big Beautiful Bill" will add over $3 trillion to our national deficit. While Trump hands tax cuts to billionaires and large corporations, deficits are soaring to the highest levels since World War II.

Yesterday 3 of the 6 U.S. Olympic medal winners were Minnesotans. 1/4 of the U.S. women’s hockey team players were born in Minnesota, and nearly half of them have played in Minnesota. So it is no surprise they have a perfect 4-0 record. The quarterfinals against Italy are next! 🇺🇸 🏒

When you're counting the ways that costs have gone up for Americans over the last year, be sure to include the cost of getting cheated. Because Donald Trump has cost families $19 billion over the last year just by trying to take the financial cops off the beat.

Trump tried to weaponize our DOJ to go after his political critics. But Americans on jury duty stood up and upheld our Constitution when their own President wouldn’t. Senators Kelly and Slotkin are American patriots. Unlike those who put retribution before the rule of law.
