Great to see this bipartisan change in Minnesota—being a young parent should never be a barrier to serving our state. I led the effort in the U.S. Senate to allow newborns on the floor, but this is even more impressive.

10-year-old Victor Greenawalt shielded his friend from gunfire during the tragic shooting at Annunciation Catholic School. Now, he's been recognized with a Citizen Honor Award from the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. Grateful to join him, his mother Annie, and his family.

Now it’s an 8% surcharge on packages. This war is making everything more expensive – from gas to packages to small business shipping – at a time when people can least afford it.

New evidence ties Russian state-run companies to the forced abduction of Ukrainian children. This cannot be ignored — we need to bring them home and hold the perpetrators accountable for these atrocities.

First New Mexico, now a case in California. Jury after jury is finding that social media platforms are harming our kids - exposing them to predators, addictive algorithms, and more. We need rules of the road to keep our kids safe.

I called on the Administration to make E15 available to drivers this summer to curb rising fuel costs. Today they announced they are doing just that. This is good for American consumers and farmers. Next, we must pass my bipartisan bill to permanently allow year round E15.

State Sen. Zaynab Mohamed is a champion for her district and for Minnesota. I can’t think of a better leader for the 2026 Gabrielle Giffords Rising Star Award. Vote for Zaynab! win.emilyslist.org/a/risingstar...

Hits close to home…. The seat that Ms. Gregory won had been held by a Republican who won by 19 percentage points in 2024!

Today I called on the Administration to allow for year round E-15. Increasing the amount of biofuels in our fuel supply is common sense. With gas prices skyrocketing and a war in the Middle East, we must be doing everything we can to bring down prices and decrease volatility.

Good—but voluntary rules won’t cut it. We need to pass my legislation to ban federal officials from trading on prediction markets and prevent corruption.

On National Ag Day, we recognize the farmers and ranchers who fuel our nation, feed the world, and are the backbone of our economy. I’ll continue to stand with them and keep fighting for their success.

The American Dream of owning a home shouldn't be out of reach. That’s why I worked to pass legislation in the Senate that will help build more homes, lower costs, and limit corporate homebuying while families struggle to find an affordable place to live. fillmorecountyjournal.com/klobuchar-st...

Higher costs for materials. Fewer jobs. More uncertainty. That’s the reality tariffs are creating for American manufacturers — and it’s hurting our economy. apnews.com/article/trum...

AI is impacting our lives in countless ways, and it will have an impact on our democracy. AI-generated campaign ads have hit the airwaves, faking voices and images to mislead voters. We must put rules of the road in place to protect the integrity of our elections.

The Blatnik Bridge is critical to our economy and a vital link for workers, families, and businesses. That is why I worked across the aisle and with two states and with two administrations to secure the needed funding and move this project forward as quickly as possible.

The SAVE America Act makes it harder for American citizens to vote. It hands private voter data over to DHS and adds costly hurdles just to register. We should be making it easier for Americans to have their voices heard and have their right to vote — not harder.

New York Times headline: “Striking Down Pentagon Press Limits, Judge Vindicates Independent Journalism” The Constitution is clear: journalism must be independent, not government-approved. This is a win for transparency, accountability, and the American people.

In an emergency, outdated technology can cost lives. That’s why I’ve introduced bipartisan legislation this week to bring our 9-1-1 systems into the 21st century—so first responders can quickly receive texts, photos, and real-time information when it matters most.

Right now, the Administration is more focused on making it harder for Americans to vote than on bringing down costs. Their priorities are completely backwards.

Americans already struggling with rising costs are now facing higher gasoline prices. Meanwhile, this Administration hasn’t made the case for this war or laid out a strategic path forward. This is not leadership.
