In functionally overturning the last enforceable section of the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court has once again put the interests of Republicans and their billionaire buddies before the voting rights of millions of Americans.

America’s national parks should be points of pride, not neglect. President Trump has cut 4,000 staff from the National Park Service. His budget proposed a 25% cut to the NPS. Our nation's treasures deserve steady, competent leadership. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. I've heard directly from parents who tragically lost their children to this lethal drug. I believe we need to do everything we can to stop fentanyl overdoses and help communities fight this crisis.

Let’s call this out for exactly what it is: a corrupt scheme by Trump to manipulate the Fed to work for him, not you. Senate Republicans are helping him get away with it.

Because we care for our pets, we want a commitment from breeders to raise their dogs in humane conditions. I introduced the Puppy Protection Act to institute stronger standards for breeding facilities to ensure that all dogs are well-cared for & live a healthy life.

Employing the U.S. military in Cuba will do nothing to lower the price we’re paying at the pump or help people put food on the table. The last thing we need is Trump using our military for another foreign stunt — in our name but without our say.

The Trump administration has failed to release the complete Epstein files as required by law. Instead, they ignored the law and released a partial, heavily redacted version. This audit is critical to justice for victims and answers for the American people.

Kevin Warsh dodged my questions and the responses he gave were contradictory. He did not provide me or my constituents with the certainty that he would be an independent voice overseeing our economy. I voted no on his nomination this morning.

The impact of the administration’s war with Iran will be long-lasting. Higher energy and fertilizer costs are rippling through our economy — hitting Minnesota farmers hard and raising prices for Americans, with no clear plan ahead. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

$25 billion for Trump’s war of choice. And that's just how much Pete Hegseth is willing to admit they're spending. American families and small businesses can’t afford healthcare. They can’t afford electric bills. And they can’t afford Trump’s tariff taxes. End Trump’s war now.

Americans haven’t forgotten the abuses committed by Trump’s immigration agents, but Republicans are still trying to push through funding for immigration enforcement without any accountability for ICE. We need real changes before ICE gets another dollar.

This is a crushing blow to our democracy. We cannot stand by as Trump's extreme SCOTUS eviscerates protections against voter suppression that heroes like Dr. King and John Lewis marched for. We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Now.

Today's Supreme Court decision essentially guts the last remaining tool of the Voting Rights Act used to prevent racial gerrymanders. Republicans across the country can now redraw congressional maps to even further disenfranchise communities of color. Yet another partisan and destructive decision.

Today’s SCOTUS decision is an attack on equal representation, with devastating and far-reaching consequences that extend well beyond congressional maps. The Voting Rights Act is a fundamental promise of fair representation.

Donald Trump's hand-picked Supreme Court just took a sledgehammer to one of the most important civil rights laws in American history. This decision is yet another brazen power grab to diminish Americans’ right to vote. Congress must respond to protect our democracy.

Today's SCOTUS ruling doesn't uphold the law, it destroys it. The ultra-right-wing, captured Supreme Court has sacrificed Black and Brown votes to gift Republicans more seats in Congress that they're incapable of winning at the polls. This is a huge blow to our democracy and to racial justice.

Is slavery a partisan ideology? It's a yes or no question. But Sec. Burgum would not answer. He refused to answer in a Senate hearing, yet has happily used "partisan ideology" as a pretext to scrub the history of slavery from our national parks. Unacceptable.

Today, the right-wing Supreme Court supermajority finished what it started over a decade ago – in Justice Kagan’s words, “a judicial project to destroy the Voting Rights Act.”

When Colorado faced historic flooding and wildfires, President Trump denied disaster relief to our communities. Disasters don’t care about state lines or politics — and neither should our President’s emergency response.

Justice Kagan put it best: “Under the Court’s new view … a State can, without legal consequence, systematically dilute minority citizens’ voting power.” This ruling amounts to a, “demolition of the Voting Rights Act.” A shameful day.

John Lewis was beaten with clubs wrapped in barbed wire on the Edmund Pettus Bridge fighting for voting rights. Today’s SCOTUS decision takes the sacrifice and fight of all who marched before us and throws it away. We must keep marching — too many have fought too hard to give up.

Today the Supreme Court struck down protections that Civil Rights leaders marched and died for. Pretending this country no longer needs them is dangerous. This is a power grab. And we must fight back.

Trump’s Supreme Court has gutted the protections that Dr. King marched for. The protections made possible by civil rights protestors who spilled blood in pursuit of a more perfect union. This is a devastating and profound step backwards for American Democracy.

This Court ruling weakens protections against discrimination & undermines fair representation. As Justice Kagan said, it marks the “majority’s now-completed demolition of the Voting Rights Act.” We must keep fighting so every American has a voice in our democracy.

Lady Liberty is crying. Trump is doubling down on his global apartheid policy, refusing entry to real, vetted refugees. Instead, he is using fake claims of “genocide” to admit white South African "refugees." Since October, they make up 99.93% of refugees admitted to the US.
