Todd Blanche has betrayed DOJ’s ethical standards.

It was great to join the American Leadership Initiative to talk about how we can move our country from this moment of anxiety to one of genuine opportunity where we lower costs, secure supply chains, and help government work FOR you. Read more about this resiliency framework below.

The USPS’s delays meant that Wisconsinites’ votes were not counted, and voices weren't heard. It’s totally unacceptable, and it cannot happen again this fall. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

I’ve spoken with airline leaders, and they’ve made it clear that even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens, it’s going to take months to get back to pre-war levels. Because of President Trump, it’s going to be more expensive to fly for a long time.

Postal workers are vital to our democracy, and keep our country connected – I’ll always support them, and work to make sure Nevada's postal operations stay right here in Nevada.

It’s National Postal Workers Day, and I want to thank every Nevada postal employee who works hard to ensure communities in every corner of our state get their mail on time.

This administration is literally taking food away from hungry people so Trump can help his billionaire buddies. It's robin hood in reverse.

Let's be clear: our disabilities are not a weakness, they're our superpower. Damn proud to belong to this community and fight for a world where accessibility is the default—not an afterthought. Happy Disability Pride Month!

One week ago, Donald Trump didn’t show up to his own signing ceremony. We still don’t know if he’s going to sign a bipartisan bill to lower housing costs.

You're working harder than ever, paying more for groceries, prescriptions, and rent. And Trump wants to use your tax dollars to build his ballroom and start a slush fund to pay off his friends. This is a level of corruption we’ve never seen before.

Creepy billionaires running the country from behind a captured Court is no way to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our great Republic. That is not what the Founders intended then, and it doesn’t serve We the People today.
- SW
We built defenses against this corruption, over decades. With those defenses pulled down by the extremists of this billionaire-built Court, it’s time for a jolt of democracy. It’s time to wake up. It’s time for major court reform.
- SW
This is their payday. A quick trip to the Oval Office, a big check to a superPAC, and presto! Everyone running the agency fired or brought to heel; agencies delivering results the corrupt donors want; a license for big money corruption.
- SW
They even funded academic hothouses (“think tanks”) to propagate self-serving legal doctrines for their Court like “major questions” and “unitary executive.” It’s nonsense, but it aligns perfectly with the goals of billionaire cheaters and polluters.
- SW
They even built a false narrative of an “administrative state” made up of “unaccountable bureaucrats” (heard that before?). In fact, agencies are highly accountable to Congress (CRA, e.g.), courts (APA, e.g.) and the president (appointees, e.g.).
- SW
Nobody wins except big polluters and economic cheaters who fear sensible and honest regulation, and prefer corrupt influence. That’s very, very few people, but they’re very, very rich, and they give very, very big money to Republicans.
- SW
Six extremists on the billionaire-built Supreme Court just upended that: ninety years of its own precedent, and over 100 years of practice, reliance and success. They think they know better, than Congress, the people, their own predecessors, and all fifty states.
- SW
Expertise helped them resist being tricked by industry. Independence (“quasi,” anyway) helped them resist corrupt influence. Bipartisanship steadied the ship. Yup, it worked. America became a global leader in regulated areas (securities and pharmaceuticals, e.g.).
- SW
For most of our American history, Congress set up agencies and commissions to deal with complex and specialized questions. We made them expert, independent and often bipartisan. Every single one of the fifty states has done the same at some point. It worked. 🧵

Trump appointed Bill Pulte – who doesn’t even have a security clearance – to serve as Acting DNI. Then he told him to “declassify whatever you want.” Time and time again, this administration shows a reckless disregard for our national security.

Election Day in Colorado is over, but the real work continues. Working people are facing a cost-of-living emergency, and America is facing the most corrupt administration in our nation’s history. There’s no time to waste. It’s time to work harder and harder. It’s time to giddy up!

AI execs want us to hand over our data, water, and energy—while we face potential job loss, high utility bills, and more. For what? So billionaires can keep cashing out? Nope. We need to tax AI and invest in people.

It is already illegal and incredibly uncommon for noncitizens to vote in our elections, so why are Republicans still pushing the SAVE America Act? Because they have a historically unpopular president, and the only way they think they can win is by suppressing the vote.

One year after the GOP passed the One Big UGLY Bill, the results are in: • 800,000 kids lost SNAP benefits. • 5M lost health coverage. • 1,000+ hospitals, clinics, nursing homes face cuts or closure. • Health care premiums doubled for millions. That's what they're celebrating.

Trump promised to "Make America Healthy Again." Instead, he ripped health coverage away from nearly half a million New Yorkers.

Step 2: ICE seeks to buy $220 million worth of Axon tasers 2 weeks later. The stock jumps to $520/share.

Step 1: Trump buys upwards of $5 million in Axon stock, a company that makes tasers, at ~$440 a share.
- AS
Another Trump potential self-enrichment scheme, in plain sight.

Veterans understand what it means to put country before self. These leaders did it during their time in service, and now they’re answering the call again to fight for their communities in Congress. I’m proud to endorse them.

We also need to ensure Big Oil pays a windfall profits tax when it is gouging consumers. I'm also introducing legislation to impose such a tax on Big Oil's massive profits when they keep prices artificially high.
- AS
I'm calling for a federal investigation into these companies for potential price gouging and will introduce legislation that would force that investigation to be transparent.
- AS
Big Oil is on track to make $90 billion+ in profits this year, all while Americans are struggling to fill their tank for the 4th of July weekend.

We lost a pioneer today. Karen Clark was a friend and a leader on marriage equality in MN and stood up for her district time and time again. She is someone who helped me when I first got started in politics. She was a mentor to so many! John & I are thinking of her family and everyone who loved her.

A 5-alarm fire—under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, over 100,000 CT residents could soon lose their health insurance. The Protecting Health Care & Lowering Costs Act cuts through bureaucratic red tape & guarantees access to quality care through Medicaid.

As we innovate, our workforce must too. Dr. Behfar, a Mayo Clinic surgeon and biotech company founder, sees the need firsthand. That's why we'll connect K-12, trades, and colleges to expand workforce pathways and develop the talent Minnesota needs right here at home.

In the first year of his presidency, Trump made more money than in the rest of his life combined. A total of $2.2 billion from the presidency. Meanwhile, most Americans worked hard to just break even. This is the cost of corruption. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/u...

I'm working with state and local officials to address the wastewater overflow in the Merrimack River. Our communities can't shoulder this alone—that’s why Congress must pass my request for a robust water bill with billions of additional dollars for water and sewer infrastructure.

You know, it’s too rare that Democrats and Republicans come together to get things done, but we did to pass a bill to lower housing costs for Americans. And this is what President Trump has to say about it…

Karen was a progressive champion, and hugely influential in my political life as a friend and mentor. May her memory be an inspiration to us all as we keep up the fight.

Raised on a farm in southwestern Minnesota, Karen championed local food systems. As a nurse, she was an indomitable advocate for health care for all and immigrant rights.

Karen was the longest serving openly lesbian legislator in the United States. Her time in the Minnesota House spanned nearly forty years from 1980-2019. She played an instrumental role in Minnesota’s transformational law to legalize gay marriage.
