In Lino Lakes today with LIUNA union members who are doing the work, building our roads, repairing our bridges, and strengthening our economy. I'll always stand with the workers building Minnesota’s future.

Stopped by yesterday to thank the American Red Cross, volunteers, and everyone who came together to support and house those impacted by yesterday's tornadoes in Southern Minnesota.

A jury has found what fans and artists have known for years: Ticketmaster/Live Nation is an anticompetitive monopoly. That means higher fees and fewer choices. We need real solutions that will increase competition and lower prices.

This video shows how close these tornadoes that touched down outside Rochester were to causing even more destruction. They took out many homes but thankfully no one was seriously injured. I’m grateful for the first responders and everyone who stepped up to keep people safe. Video credit: Ryan Hall

Dangerously strong tornadoes in Stewartville & Marion township. Was in Rochester for Salvation Army dinner & went to the Red Cross emergency center shelter to thank volunteers. Many homes damaged, thankful no one died or was seriously hurt. Incredible work by first responders & the community. ❤️

In Waseca, I heard plans for a new, much-needed Justice Center that will break ground this fall. The county’s current courthouse is one of the oldest in the state, and I look forward to working with them on their new building.

Deepfakes are creating new ways to exploit—and these images can ruin lives. That’s why I worked to pass the bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN Act so victims can get images removed from social media platforms and law enforcement can hold perpetrators accountable.

The administration says we can’t invest in child care or health care — but wants $200 billion for a unilateral war in Iran. That same money could lower costs and expand care for Americans across the country.

Melissa Hortman was a dedicated public servant who worked to make clean energy more accessible across Minnesota. Great to see the Community Solar Garden Program she helped build now carries her name—a fitting tribute to her legacy. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

Between tariffs and the administration’s war with Iran, costs are rising across the board. It’s rippling through our economy and hurting families, small businesses, and farmers.

January 6 was a violent assault on our democracy, and those responsible must be held accountable. Erasing these convictions undermines the rule of law and disrespects the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line defending the Capitol.

The administration is threatening a major escalation of the war it unilaterally started with Iran — and now wants $200 billion more. That money could and should be used to lower health care costs, build more housing, and make things more affordable for Americans.

Just spoke on the Senate floor to oppose this unprecedented use of a procedural mechanism that would have major consequences for the Boundary Waters and public lands across the country. I know some of my Republican colleagues oppose this, and they need to stand up and do the right thing.

Budgets are about values. Trump wants $200 billion for his unilateral war in Iran, yet he let health care premiums double for Americans. That same amount could extend ACA tax credits for 7 years. Or cover dental/hearing/vision for EVERY senior on Medicare — for 3 years!

Breaking news: New York jury finds Ticketmaster/Live Nation to be an anticompetitive monopoly. FINALLY. A jury says the truth about what nearly everyone in Washington keeps denying. Now we need remedies that help fans & lower prices, unlike DOJ meaningless “settlement.”

The Live Nation-Ticketmaster settlement doesn’t deliver real competition and won’t do anything to lower prices for fans. There are serious concerns here and the court needs to investigate. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

I met with leaders from our Hmong community who play a big role in strengthening our state's entire economy—especially now. The ICE surge took a real toll on small businesses, but Minnesotans have supported each other and we are coming back strong.

Costs are up. Chaos is up. And corruption is up. This Administration is not focused on bringing down prices. Instead, they have dragged us into a war in the Middle East and trade wars across the globe.

At the Tate family farm near Cannon Falls to talk about rising fertilizer costs hurting farmers in the wake of the war in Iran and this administration’s tariffs. I’ve introduced bipartisan bills to increase price transparency and expand domestic production so farmers have the certainty they need.
