On Blanche’s watch, the Department of Justice tried to criminally indict me and my colleagues over a 90-second video that simply restated the law.

Today I voted no on the confirmation of Todd Blanche to be Attorney General. Instead of standing up for the rule of law or demonstrating any sense of independence, Blanche has repeatedly chosen to go along with President Trump’s weaponization of the Justice Department.

This weekend, stop by a local farmers market to support the farmers, ranchers, and vendors who bring fresh, local food to families across our state.

Trump has made BILLIONS off of the presidency. And if you’re one of his billionaire buddies, you’re profiting off of it too. This is raw, unabashed corruption unlike anything we’ve seen from an American president.

It was great to connect with Celltrion at the Capitol after visiting their Branchburg, NJ facility earlier this year. I heard about the progress they're making on manufacturing, research, and development, and what more can be done to enhance investment in New Jersey.

Every time I’m back at Game Fair, I’m reminded of the beloved Vikings coach and dedicated outdoorsman Bud Grant. Bud and I worked together to protect Minnesota’s outdoors for future generations and he was a huge supporter of Minnesota’s Legacy amendment.

It’s clear this administration was unprepared for this illegal war of choice. And after losing American lives, we still do not have answers.

Todd Blanche says he's working with Trump's team to make Dobbs permanent in every single state. Not in Virginia. We protect women's reproductive freedom here—and anyone who thinks they'll ram this through has another thing coming.

This isn't getting enough attention. Donald Trump is selling early access to his Truth Social posts for $100,000 per month. What purpose does this serve except to enrich the President and his wealthy friends? It's patently unfair.

Great to be at Game Fair and spend time with the people who know firsthand why Minnesota's outdoors are worth protecting — including Ron Schara, whose storytelling has shaped how Minnesotans see and value our natural resources.

Trump said he doesn't think about Americans' financial situation. The numbers back him up. The average household in Massachusetts has had to spend $4,600+ more on goods and services in Trump's economy.

By passing the Russia Sanctions bill, we say to the people of Ukraine: you are not alone. And we say to Vladimir Putin: You will not conquer Ukraine; you will not defeat this free, brave people, who are turning the tide against your blood-thirsty aggression.

The whole point of body cameras is transparency — not giving ICE the power to hide its lawlessness. ICE doesn’t deserve another penny without accountability. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Pleased to see the Senate pass my resolution with @duckworth.senate.gov congratulating the Cubs on their upcoming 150th anniversary. I’m honored this resolution passed the Senate to celebrate our beloved Cubbies, and their dedicated, passionate fans.

Like most Minnesotans, I grew up in a family that valued the outdoors. Hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation are a big part of Minnesota's heritage — and they must also be our future. As Governor, I'll protect our land, water, and wildlife habitats.

Trump is deliberately making health care MORE expensive for seniors. SPREAD THE WORD. I’ll be fighting back to stop him and stand up for seniors every way I can.

Todd Blanche has proven himself to be unfit to be the next Attorney General. I voted against his confirmation because the Attorney General should be the country’s lawyer, putting the American people above all else – not the President’s personal attorney.

Translation: this bill is going to do away with harmful taxes on people that lose their homes in wildfires or any other natural disaster. It’s a big win, especially for Oregonians.

A couple of weeks ago, the Senate unanimously passed my resolution and sent a clear message to Trump: Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted sex trafficker of minors, should not be pardoned and must serve out her full sentence. She’s one of the LAST people on earth who should ever be granted a pardon.

Susan and I are deeply grateful for their courage, dedication, and sacrifice. We stand with loved ones, fellow crew members, and communities across Colorado to honor these heroes and carry forward their enduring legacy of service.

Today, the Senate passed our resolution to honor the five wildfire responders who lost their lives during this devastating fire season. These brave Americans made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our communities and keep Coloradans safe. www.bennet.senate.gov/2026/08/08/c...

Fraud against the state is fraud against Minnesota taxpayers. As Governor, I’ll stop the fraud before it starts, update our technology to track state contracts, and send the criminals who steal your money to jail.

Trump says this is the greatest economy we've ever had? Here's the reality: We are losing jobs. Economic growth is sagging. Healthcare is more expensive. Groceries are more expensive. Gas is more expensive.

Blanche has already shown us exactly where his loyalties lie—and it’s not with the law or the American people. It’s with protecting Trump’s allies and enabling unprecedented corruption at DOJ. I voted NO.

Trump said he was going to cut energy prices in half. But between cancelling clean energy projects, cuts to energy affordability programs, and the war in Iran, you are paying more than ever.

The SAVE America Act had another failed vote. Good. This MAGA voter suppression bill should never pass. Focus instead on lowering costs for working families.

He made WA state better and will be deeply missed. My thoughts are with Ken’s family, loved ones, and the Nisqually people.

I had the honor of working with Chairman Ken Choke to fight to transfer the the Clear Creek Hatchery to the Nisqually Indian Tribe, and I will continue that work for him. He was dedicated to protecting salmon runs for future generations and his generosity radiated through the community.

We’ve always known Todd Blanche won’t stand up to the President. The real question has been whether or not Republicans who know better would say enough is enough. His confirmation is maddeningly unsurprising.

This buys us time, and I’m not done fighting.

Good news: The Senate voted to reject an attempt to strip the hemp ban delay out of the funding bill. A federal hemp ban would wipe out thousands of Minnesota jobs. Our farmers and small businesses are already following strong safety rules — a one-size-fits-all federal ban ignores that.

Americans have had enough of Big Tech putting profits over children’s safety. I’m urging Congress to pass clean, comprehensive, bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act because we need new tools for parents to protect their kids.

Now, Trump’s ATF wants to roll this safeguard back — allow braces to proliferate again — and put the gun industry profits ahead of public safety. We must stop this.
- AS
That’s why we pushed for guardrails in the last administration to regulate this deadly device.
- AS
2019 — 7 killed in Dayton. 2021 — 10 killed in Boulder. 2022 — 5 killed in Colorado Springs. 2023 — 6 killed in Nashville. Mass shooters have used stabilizing braces to kill scores of Americans in recent years.
- MB
We must codify these safeguards into law so no administration can politicize lifesaving research or withhold critical investments from rural communities and research institutions across Colorado.

While this spending bill temporarily prevents the Trump Administration from freezing or canceling scientific research funding at the President's political whim, temporary protections are not enough. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Blanche has sought to compensate cop beaters who attacked the Capitol in support of the president. Even if the anti-weaponization fund doesn’t move forward, Blanche’s Justice Department has been using other funds of the department to pay off criminals and cronies of the president.

His efforts to protect the president and others in the Epstein Files were a scandalous abuse of power in which he covered up and withheld documents to protect Donald Trump and further injured the victims by publishing their names and photos.

Under Blanche, the Justice Department has become an instrument of revenge and reward. We should not confirm an Attorney General who believes the president has a right and a duty to go after his enemies and bring sea shells cases against them.
- AS
He has used the Department of Justice to enrich the President of the United States – leveraging the power of the DOJ and IRS to make the president, his family, and his businesses more money and to provide immunity for their actions – that is not the job of an Attorney General.
- AS
I voted to oppose his nomination. And he should have been rejected for numerous reasons:

As I said in his confirmation hearing, the fundamental problem with Todd Blanche isn’t that he’s inexperienced or unintelligent. It’s that he’s never been able to shed his role as criminal defense lawyer for Donald Trump. He cannot and will never do it.

At 4:30AM Senate Republicans voted to confirm Todd Blanche, the President’s former personal lawyer, as Attorney General. Blanche has signed off on absolutely historic corruption. What a disgrace. I voted NO. America deserves so much better.
- MB
His confirmation risks further politicizing federal law enforcement and the administration of justice in this country. I will do everything possible to hold him accountable to the rule of law.

Todd Blanche has plans to ban abortion nationwide. He has given no legal guarantees that the $1.8B slush fund he created is dead. And he will continue to do whatever the President asks.

Today, Senate Republicans voted to confirm Trump's personal attorney as Attorney General and head of the Justice Department.
