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.

It’s good that President Trump has approved this major disaster declaration for Washington state. There are more federal resources Washington will need and I’ll be working to make sure our communities get the help they need to recover.

I've repeatedly called on my colleagues in Congress to pass a war powers resolution and rein in Trump's illegal war with Iran. We need to get it done. Now.

The Trump Tariff Tax has devastated small businesses in America. Republicans in Congress refuse to rein in Trump's chaos, and the American people are paying the price. www.wsj.com/business/tar...

Hospitals across the country are closing and letting health care workers go because Washington Republicans cut hundreds of billions of dollars of critical funding they rely on. Why did Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress do this? To pay for more tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

Families in Seattle and Spokane didn't vote for Trump's war of choice, but they're the ones paying for it every time they fill up their tank. And Republicans are blocking Democrats from putting an end to this war for good.

In Denver, we met with community leaders at Montbello’s FreshLo Hub. As basic necessities become less affordable, the work they’re doing here to create affordable lives for Coloradans is remarkable. We’re fighting to make sure families across the country have that same access.

It’s clear: State-level abortion restrictions drive reproductive health care providers away, creating shortages that endanger lives. The relentless attacks on abortion and reproductive health care must end.

Gas, health care, and groceries are all more expensive. And yet, Donald Trump thinks affordability concerns are a “hoax.”

No expecting mother should have to worry about finding quality care. As we enter Black Maternal Health Week, we must address the gaps in care facing women of color. I've introduced the Perinatal Workforce Act to close this gap, so every mother receives the support she deserves.

Scientists fired. Measles cases up. And we’re less prepared for the next pandemic. That’s what we heard in Adams County meeting with public health officials from around the Metro area. The Trump admin has done a number on America’s public health. It puts our families and communities at risk.

Elon Musk and DOGE said they were going to root out waste, fraud and abuse. But during that time, Trump's DOJ dropped OVER 900 criminal cases of fraud. For Trump and Musk, it was never about rooting out waste. It was always about corruption and power.

It’s been 50 days since the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & he still has no plan to pay back the money he stole from American families. When are they going to see the $1,700 he owes them? Return the money, NOW!

In Las Vegas, I heard from immigration service providers about how this rule is harmful for immigrant families, their employers, and our economy. When I get back to Washington, I’m forcing a vote to overturn this unfair rule.

The Admin’s new rule to end automatic extensions on work permit renewals for workers with legal status is unfair for everyone who is filing on time and following the rules. They shouldn’t be punished because our government has a backlog and doesn’t have the staff to process applications on time. 🧵

Across Colorado, the message we’re hearing from Coloradans is clear: they want stability. They want relief. The president couldn’t care less. He’s got no plan to get us out of Iran, while prices at home continue to rise.

58 years ago today, President Johnson signed the Fair Housing Act into law. As a former fair housing attorney, I’m committed to building on that progress by fighting to make sure everyone, including veterans and low-income families, is protected against housing discrimination.

The American people have had it with Donald Trump and he knows it. But instead of changing his policies, he's trying to change the shape of the electorate. We won’t let him get away with it.

Donald Trump promised to cut costs and keep America out of foreign wars. Not only has he dragged us into an illegal war of choice—he’s causing prices to skyrocket and inflation to soar.

On World Parkinson’s Day, I’m reflecting on the struggles of individuals and families who’ve grappled with a diagnosis. I’m glad a bill I cosponsored to create and update a national plan to address Parkinson’s and related conditions is now law. Let's end Parkinson’s for good.

A lot of kids were looking up at the stars these past 10 days and dreaming of going to the Moon, or being the first person to walk on Mars. That's the impact the Apollo missions had on me, and Artemis II just reignited that for a whole new generation.
