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.

Another Trump potential self-enrichment scheme, in plain sight.

Granite Staters tell me that they are forced to choose between paying rent and paying for prescription drugs — and this Administration keeps making things worse.

$1000 that could've gone toward retirement. $1000 that could've gone into your savings. $1000 that could've gone toward groceries. $1000 that could've gone toward a house payment. $1000 that instead paid for Trump's illegal war with Iran. www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...

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.

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.

President Trump’s thoughts on affordable housing: “It’s a yawn” … “So unimportant” … “I don’t want to drive housing prices down” …

10 years ago, Congress put Puerto Rico's finances under an unelected fiscal board that put Wall Street first. Now Trump is firing its members and opening the door for even more of his Wall Street buddies. It’s time for Puerto Rico to have the right to determine its own future.

Minnesota has 11,600 registered apprentices. I want to add 10,000 more — working with businesses and trade unions to expand apprenticeships into biotech, health care, manufacturing, and agriculture. It’s already happening in Rochester. Let’s expand it across the state.

In light of this decision, the federal government should rethink if it can continue to buy Americans' location data without a warrant. I'll keep pushing for black-letter law that would stop the sale of your data to anyone, including the government.

Granite Staters are beyond exhausted by the flood of scam calls, texts, and emails. Scams have a bigger impact on the global economy than the illicit drug trade — it’s essential to create a ReportScams.Gov portal to help victims report scams and get help.

At least 3 MILLION people have lost health insurance thanks to Trump & Republicans' refusal to extend ACA tax credits & that's before factoring in their $1 TRILLION Medicaid cut. We need a system that is not vulnerable to this kind of ongoing sabotage. We need Medicare for All.
