Dani Bensky, Epstein survivor: The survivors in this room know there are investigative leads because they are our stories. Mr. Blanche knows it, yet he has chosen not to pursue them. His actions have destroyed survivors’ trust.

OVER $100,000. That’s how much Trump’s teleprompter guy allegedly made betting on speeches he helped prepare. But he’s not the first insider accused of cashing in on information the public didn’t have. Congress needs to get to the bottom of how far this goes.

Tonight, The President is giving another speech built on a lie. His goal isn't election security — it's voter suppression. John Lewis taught us that democracy only works when everyone has a voice. I'll keep fighting to protect that fundamental and sacred right.

In the recent heat domes, wind and solar saved the day. Trump’s attacks on wind and solar aren’t for you, they’re for his big corrupt fossil fuel donors.

Our immigration system is broken. Firing immigration judges who follow the law and refuse to bend to Donald Trump isn’t how we make the system work better. It’s un-American. www.cpr.org/2026/07/14/i...

A good idea from a lab in Duluth or a farm outside Worthington should have a clear path to becoming a product, a company, and good-paying jobs for Minnesotans. As Governor, I will create a Minnesota Innovation Network to connect businesses to universities, research centers, and incubators statewide.

Here’s the bottom line: Donald Trump lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden by 7 million votes. Nothing Trump says tonight can change that basic reality.

When Alex Pretti was killed, a DHS spokesperson said he wanted to "massacre law enforcement." It took video evidence for Americans to learn DHS lied. Trump and Republicans gave ICE $38 billion. It's unacceptable that we have more ICE shootings, and still no body camera footage.

Blanche said the quiet part out loud: He's TRUMP’S lawyer, not ours. And that makes him absolutely unfit to be Attorney General.

The Senate acted decisively to ban our members and staff from insider trading on prediction markets. This report is emblematic of the rampant corruption within the Trump administration and exactly why they must follow suit and ban prediction market trading for administration officials and staffers.

Trump doesn't have the votes to pass his deeply unpopular agenda, so he's going to use a primetime address from the White House to spread lies and conspiracies about the 2020 election. Our elections are safe and secure. No matter how hard he tries, Trump can't rewrite history.
