Ballrooms. Arches. UFC fights on the White House lawn. Reflecting pool makeovers. These are Trump’s priorities. Not healthcare. Not housing. Not gas prices. Not groceries. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...

Trump is hell-bent on getting his gold-plated ballroom any way he can, even if taxpayers have to foot the bill. HELL NO! I objected to this on the Senate floor, and I'll keep fighting back.

I'm grateful to have earned the support of Minnesota Teamsters, representing over 50,000 workers across our state. From fair wages to job training, I believe in standing up for hardworking Minnesotans, and that's what I will continue to do as Governor.

We have potash in Michigan – a critical component of the fertilizer our farmers rely on. Now we need to get it out into our supply chains, create jobs and help our farmers.

This evening I was on the National Mall to honor the lives of fallen Minnesota law enforcement officers Felicia Reilly, Richard Legler, & Jesse Branch at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial candlelight vigil. They made the ultimate sacrifice & served with honor. 🇺🇸

Donald Trump can lie all he wants, but the data is clear: Trump's chaotic tariffs and his war in Iran are a one-two punch to American families. Inflation is at a multi-year high. Costs are up and they're only climbing. End the war. Lower costs for families.

I asked Director Patel to pass on my thanks for FBI's work stopping a crook who scammed Medicare out of $205 million. He obliged. Only problem? Trump pardoned that scammer. So which is it? Should the FBI keep uncovering fraud, or should Trump keep pardoning these crooks?

I've always believed no Member of Congress should be paid if the government is shut down, which is why I've donated my paycheck in past shutdowns. I was glad to help advance Senator John Kennedy’s legislation to make sure no Senator is paid during a government shutdown.

There are corporations that bury caveats & fees in fine print, hoping Americans do not realize they are being scammed. The Trump Admin ended the guidance that let consumers know when they are entitled to relief from dishonest companies. I’m on the Senate floor to reverse this scammer handout.

Legislation that would allow the year-round sale of E15 just passed the House! 🌽 With gas at $4.50 a gallon, this would help our farmers and give people a cheaper, cleaner option at the pump. If Trump is serious about lowering costs, he’d help make sure this passes the Senate.

There is no place for antisemitism in our country. The graffiti at New Market Middle School is the latest such incident in our state. Schools should be safe spaces for our kids. We must condemn antisemitism wherever it raises its ugly head. www.fredericknewspost.com/news/educati...

Today, I voted to rein in President Trump’s war in Iran — and 3 Republicans voted with us. We need more of them to stand up and join us to end this reckless war and work together to bring down skyrocketing costs for the American people.

Today, I spoke with leaders of the Villages of Park Forest, Richton Park, and Matteson about the housing, transportation, and infrastructure projects that their communities need. Federal investment makes the difference in local projects, & I will continue to fight to bring funding home for Illinois.

In Minnesota, our legislature just advanced common-sense legislation to protect our kids from addictive features on social media. Big tech isn’t going to step up, so our lawmakers did.

For the seventh time, a majority of Republicans refused to hold President Trump accountable and end his reckless war with Iran. Our troops are in danger abroad and prices are soaring at home. This war must end.

The Senate has voted seven times on a War Powers Resolution. Seven times, Republicans have blocked it. Meanwhile, Americans are paying more for just about everything. We need to end this illegal war.

Despite the Trump administration’s claims of a weak Iran, reports are coming out that they retain much of their military capabilities. The president is more than 70 days into this war, and what does he have to show for it?

One in five people who bought their health insurance on the federal ACA exchange dropped their coverage this year. Democrats warned this would happen and tried to negotiate extending the premium discounts. Republics refused, and now working families are paying the price.

The Supreme Court's recent decision on the Voting Rights Act is supercharging President Trump's effort to redraw districts and try to create a permanent Republican majority. We must ban partisan gerrymandering and restore the Voting Rights Act.

I just voted YES on a resolution to end the war in Iran. They are spending billions of your tax dollars on this war while stripping health care away from millions at home. It's a failure of leadership to the highest degree.

Today, for the seventh time, Senate Republicans voted against a War Powers Resolution that would end Trump's illegal war. A war that has already cost $29 billion and driven up the cost of gas to $4.50 a gallon. Once again, Republicans chose Trump over the American people.

We did not have a plan when we started this war with Iran. Now, even if the Strait of Hormuz opened up tomorrow, it could still be months or years before prices come down on critical things like fertilizer or oil.

Last year, nearly 600,000 Americans paid $100 deposits to get a Trump Mobile phone. Not a single person received one. Where’d their money go? This looks like another Trump scam.

Donald Trump suing the IRS for $10 billion is just the latest example of him using the presidency to enrich himself and his family. This is a man who went years without paying federal income taxes, yet now wants billions more while hardworking Americans struggle to make ends meet.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created to protect Americans from dishonest corporations. But Trump has done everything he can to destroy the agency to shield his billionaire allies from accountability. I’m joining @warren.senate.gov on the Senate floor to fight for working families.

Working families are struggling more than ever to afford basic goods. They need a central bank that will fight for them, not the President & billionaires. I am not convinced that Warsh has the willingness to do what is best for the American people. For that reason, I voted no on his nomination.

The meteoric rise in popularity of DraftKings & FanDuel matches an exponential growth in underage gambling. This dangerous double punch threatens a new generation with gambling addiction. We urgently need safeguards in place like my SAFE Bet & GRIT Acts.
