President Trump's ban of Politico, CNN, & MSNOW is the stuff of authoritarians. But Trump's authoritarian envy doesn't change the fact that we have a constitution that expressly protects our free press. The White House must allow these outlets back in NOW.

The next governor must stand up to the White House and stand up for affordable and accessible health care when Minnesotans need it.

With the support of the President, we can help increase production at home, create thousands of new jobs and spur the local economy. It’s time that Congress acts. It's time we get this done. And I’m confident we can.

I'm proud to join Senator Tim Scott in the introduction of new, bipartisan and bicameral legislation to bring movie magic back to America.

For years, I've been championing the creation of a federal film tax credit to stop the mass exodus of production leaving the United States for other countries. Today these efforts have finally borne fruit.

Families should not have to wonder whether the products they rely on are safe. These recalls are yet another reminder of what happens when we lack leadership and oversight. RFK Jr. is steering our nation’s public health systems into the ground and Americans deserve better.

This is a real thing: Trump falsely labeled contraception as “abortion.” And then he wanted to light it on fire. A Senate Democratic majority will protect your birth control, not burn it.

It’s peak harvesting season, and record-high diesel prices and record-low moisture are having drastic impacts on our farmers. Over $6/gal for diesel makes the business of running a farm unsustainable and drives up the costs for everything else.

Yesterday, I met with DHS Secretary Mullin on the Trump Administration’s refugee policy to admit white-only Afrikaners. I urged him to process more refugees from around the world, including our Afghan allies stranded abroad. Our nation must do more to protect those fleeing violence and persecution.

It’s terrifying to think of what could happen next. We must act now to set guardrails for the use of AI models and ensure proper human oversight of them. 2/2

We needed to get a handle on AI yesterday — and this is why. AI agents autonomously hacking into government websites is incredibly dangerous and a threat to the national security of every country in the world. 1/2

At the upcoming summit, the President could make the decision to stop providing those chips, and slow down the progress that the Chinese are able to make on dangerous AI models.
- ES
President Trump has a habit of rolling out the red carpet for our adversaries, while punching our allies in the mouth. He made the decision that it is okay to sell our most sophisticated chips to China.

President Trump calls higher prices “a very inexpensive price to pay” for his war in Iran. Tell that to the Minnesotans paying $4.38 for gas, and over $6.30 for diesel — while this administration asks for nearly $70 billion more to keep the war going.

Trump’s economy isn’t working for families across Colorado. It’s time to focus on bringing down costs because Coloradans can’t afford the basics right now.

We eliminated measles in this country more than 30 years ago. We shouldn’t be fighting it again because this administration refuses to take science seriously. Colorado’s kids and families deserve better.

EPA is bending over backwards to the very industry they’re supposed to regulate by outsourcing its decisions for how to address chemical pollution to the polluters themselves. EPA’s approach to governance shouldn’t let industry grade themselves.

High energy prices are only made worse when the admin refuses to end the war in Iran or fund clean energy projects that bring down your utility bill.

Enough is enough. Instead of using taxpayer dollars to attack Iran & strangle the Cuban people, we should be investing them right here at home. What happened to America First?

On Sunday, ICE agents outside Chicago tackled a U.S. citizen and left him injured on the ground after they realized he wasn’t their target. This despicable display has become all too common under Trump’s mass deportation campaign—no one is safe from this Administration’s cruelty.

TODAY: I'm introducing the Youth Voting Rights Act. Donald Trump is trying to limit young people from voting and going after campus polling places. If your vote didn’t matter, Trump wouldn't be doing this. We need to fight back.

Months in and this war of choice rages on – sending diesel prices to new record highs. Just like Trump’s tariffs, all of those extra costs are going to be passed along directly to us in the form of higher prices at the grocery store & on everything we buy.

America needs to be a leader in this moment. The U.S. needs to push for clear global standards on how AI models are developed, tested, and used.

NEW: Reports show that just one Wisconsin billionaire has spent $13 million and counting to fund attack ads against me from my opponent's Super PAC. He is one of Donald Trump's biggest donors, and he knows Lisa Demuth will be a rubber stamp for Trump's agenda. I will fight for Minnesota.

ICE agents used excessive force to detain Luis Ochoa, an American citizen and teenager, on his way to enlist in the Marines. When his mom spoke out, they DEPORTED her. We cannot get numb to these sick fear tactics. Use your voice & your vote to force a CHANGE!

Gas has reached $4.99 and diesel $6.59 in Maywood, NJ. We don't want a war, an arch, or a ballroom. We just want cheaper gas, groceries, and everyday goods. Trump's decisions have made our country too expensive.

It is long overdue that there is a timely and credible plan for a democratic election in Venezuela, one that allows the safe return and full participation by opposition leaders such as Maria Corina Machado.

We are very lucky that this failure occurred during unmanned testing. But we cannot leave the safety of workers up to luck. These types of critical failures need to be addressed proactively and transparently with workers.

As Trump hunts for a headline and a photo-op with Xi Jinping today, he’s at risk of losing sight of what’s at stake for the American people. Trump needs to stop fawning over foreign strongmen and put his foot down. Standing up for the American people means standing up to Xi Jinping.
