Minnesotans are paying the price for this administration’s war with Iran as gas prices rise and squeeze families, small businesses, and farmers across our state.

The War Powers Act is clear. If Congress has not authorized going to war, the President must withdraw U.S. forces after 60 days. Senators on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged this. Today, we must abide by the law and end this war.

Luxury jets, golf trips, and ballrooms. This Administration will use taxpayer money to pay for everything except health care.

I’m horrified by the news of an antisemitic attack in Golders Green, London, a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. I’m relieved to hear the victims of this attack are in stable condition and the perpetrator has been apprehended. 🧵

I commend the Vermont legislature for passing a law that allows Vermonters to sue federal agents for constitutional violations. Republicans in Congress should take note and join Democrats in passing real accountability for ICE. No one is above the law.

The Trump Administration's war in Iran is driving up gas prices and sending summer travel costs through the roof. I’m focused on lowering costs and putting money back in Americans’ pockets so that taking your family on a road trip doesn’t break the bank.

Republicans keep scheming to maintain their grip on power. Democrats rightfully responded and held the line in the short term. Long term… we need a permanent end to partisan gerrymandering.

Pay attention to this. President Trump quietly purged over 100 immigration judges and is now replacing them with inexperienced and untrained judges. Many have never practiced immigration law at all. He's trying to take over all three branches of government.

The Voting Rights Act has protected Americans’ – particularly those who have been disenfranchised – right to vote and be properly represented in Congress for decades. The campaign to dismantle it is a deliberate effort to silence some American voices and give more power to politicians.

Honored to attend a bipartisan dinner this week with María Corina Machado, leader of the Venezuelan opposition and a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Grateful to have a meaningful conversation about the importance of advancing free and fair elections in Venezuela—and how to help make that happen.

When I hear from people about what keeps them up at night, so often it’s their rent, their mortgage, or whether they’re ever going to be able to afford their own home. Congress is finally doing something about it. We’re close to the finish line – we just need the House to act.

Trump is literally paying energy companies NOT to produce clean American energy and create American jobs. And he's using your tax dollars to do it. When you're opening your utility bills this month, remember that.

The Trump EPA puts the value of a human life at zero dollars in their rulemakings to make it easier for them to pollute. They put a cost on corporate expenses, but not on asthma, heart disease, or exposure to toxic chemicals.

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate," - Donald Trump As Trump's Iran war drags on, remember: President Obama ensured Iran couldn't get a nuclear weapon without starting a war. It was Trump who ripped up that deal.

No more nibbling around the edges. No more being the default option against Trump. It's time for Democrats to dream big and fight hard for the changes we need to make life better for working people. I'm proud to stand with @repcasar.bsky.social who is leading the way.

It's National Fentanyl Awareness Day. I'm working to build on the progress made by my legislation—which is now law—to direct increased federal attention on the fight against fentanyl, especially at a time when the Trump-Vance Administration cuts funding for overdose prevention.

It's saddening but unfortunately not surprising. This Supreme Court has continued to weaken the Voting Rights Act and made it harder for eligible voters across the country to make their voices heard, particularly those who have been historically disenfranchised. apnews.com/article/supr...

Secretary Hegseth is an arrogant and aggressive bully. Bullies always blame their failures on others. Hegseth can’t manage the President’s misguided war in Iran and blames others when you ask him legitimate questions.
