Washington Post headline: Trump backs FCC chief’s threat to broadcasters, criticizing Iran war coverage Hey, if the President can’t handle the true coverage about his war and his gas prices, why not come before Congress and tell us the endgame. The media will cover verbatim.

A good day to win a winter sport! Team USA Para ice hockey takes gold, completing historic sweep for U.S. hockey across Olympic and Paralympic Games. Congrats to Team USA—including Minnesotans Liam Cunningham and Landon Uthke. 🇺🇸 🏒

After the health care tax credits expired, 1 in 3 Americans—about 82 million people—are skipping meals, delaying care, or borrowing money just to pay medical bills. That’s why we’ve been fighting to restore the health care tax credits, so people aren't forced to make impossible choices.

Melissa Hortman worked to create Minnesota’s Community Solar Garden Program—opening the door for more families to benefit from clean energy. The Minnesota House just passed a bill unanimously to name the program in her honor. A fitting way to honor her legacy.

This is not a video game. It isn’t bowling or football or golf. It is war. Our Service members are putting their lives on the line. People are dying.

No one serving the public should be able to use confidential government information for financial gain. I introduced legislation with Senator Merkley to ban federal officials from trading on prediction markets and crack down on corruption.

An important new U.N. investigation finds Russia’s abduction of thousands of Ukrainian children amounts to crimes against humanity. The world must stand together to reunite these children with their families and hold those responsible accountable.

Some good news: We just passed bipartisan legislation in the Senate to build more homes, drive down costs, and to limit the number of homes private corporations can buy up over people just trying to afford the American dream.

It isn't just gas prices — everything from groceries to travel costs could cost more for Minnesotans because of this war. The Administration still has not made the case or laid out a strategic path forward.

You shouldn’t have to pay a small fortune to see your favorite artist in concert. Instead of giving consumers the relief they deserve, this Administration settled the Live Nation/Ticketmaster case. Fans deserve better—and I’ll keep fighting for real competition.

I’m honored to have earned the support of LIUNA’s 14,000 laborers & skilled construction workers across Minnesota. From supporting infrastructure & jobs to making it easier to get skills training, my priority as Governor will be to support & expand our economy and good paying jobs in Minnesota.

I’ve worked with families and advocates at Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy for years to accelerate research and treatments for muscular dystrophy. We’ve made real progress—but we won’t stop until every family has a cure. Grateful for this award recognizing that work.

I’ve long led bipartisan efforts to make E15 available year-round. It’s a commonsense way to decrease our reliance on foreign oil and support our farmers.

St. Paul Fire Captain Mike Paidar’s life inspired our bipartisan effort to ensure families of firefighters lost to or disabled by service-related cancers get the support they deserve. Great to be with the International Association of Fire Fighters to celebrate this victory:

This settlement with Live Nation-Ticketmaster fails to lower costs, help artists, or protect fans. States should keep fighting, and I’ll be introducing legislation to stop corrupt antitrust settlements. variety.com/2026/music/n...

This week the Senate passed our bipartisan bill to expand free credit monitoring to every member of our armed forces. It is one small thing we can do to strengthen the financial security of military families.

In 2023 I chaired an antitrust hearing on Live Nation/Ticketmaster after the Taylor Swift concert debacle. It was clear then that this three-headed monopoly (ticketing, venues, promotion) must be broken up. DOJ undermined the case and hurt fans. Ticket prices won’t go down.

This settlement falls short of what fans deserve. Breaking up Live Nation-Ticketmaster is the only way to loosen its grip on venues, artists, and fans. I'm introducing a bill to stop corrupt antitrust settlements and I'm glad states plan to continue the case to protect consumers.

A hard-working single mom shouldn’t have to wonder how long groceries will last — yet millions do. Food banks are stepping up every day to help our neighbors who struggle to afford the basics—but we must do more to lower costs for Americans.

I stopped by Loma Bonita in Richfield, a brand new grocery store that opened in November. Like so many small businesses across the state, they’ve been through a lot this year. But people are showing up to support small businesses. Just look at the long lines!

Minnesotans standing up made the biggest difference, and the hearings showed Secretary Noem couldn’t answer for dragging a U.S. citizen from his home or for calling Alex Pretti and Renee Good “domestic terrorists.”

Secretary Noem refused to take responsibility for the deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good or for agents pulling over off-duty officers and dragging innocent U.S. citizens out of their homes. Minnesota stood up and spoke out. It is no surprise that she's being removed.

Secretary Noem’s overdue removal from the Department of Homeland Security is a step toward accountability, but it is only the beginning.

At this week’s oversight hearing in the Senate, I pressed Secretary Noem on the lies she spread by calling Alex and Renee domestic terrorists and the wrongful stops and arrests of American citizens.
- AK
Under the leadership of Secretary Noem, the constitutional rights of people across our state were violated and two Minnesotans were killed. Alex Pretti and Renee Good should be alive today.

Breaking: Kristi Noem is out. Minnesotans stood up for Alex and Renee and so many others. And if anyone ever asked why we have committee hearings and demand answers….

Congressional Republicans let the health care tax credits expire — and now premiums have more than doubled for millions of Americans this year. We should be making things more affordable for families, not more expensive. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/24/a...

Today I voted to pass the resolution to rein in the President. He unilaterally launched a war in the Middle East with no imminent harm to the U.S. when he did it. Iran should never have a nuclear weapon, but the Administration has no strategic path forward.
