Millions of Americans — our neighbors, our loved ones, our friends — are going without health care coverage because Republicans prioritized tax breaks for billionaires over the well-being of our nation. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

Minnesotans are right to have high expectations. They meet deadlines, solve problems, and plan for their families every day—our government should too.

Michiganders continue to pay the price at the gas pump for President Trump’s war with Iran. It’s been over 60 days, and Congress and the American people have yet to hear a strategy for peace and how we will stop these rising costs. michiganindependent.com/economy/grea...

This is hypocrisy at its finest. Trump's gold-encrusted ballroom has gone from costing $200 million funded by shady donors to $1 BILLION from TAXPAYERS—snuck into the ICE bill by Senate Republicans. But Trump wants to prosecute Powell for cost overruns of the Fed's renovation.

Ted Turner was a media visionary and a dedicated conservationist. From fighting to “save everything” to bringing bison back to the West, he was the real-life Captain Planet. I will miss his leadership, and my thoughts are with his family and friends.

Got to visit one of Joshua Basin Water District's well sites, which provides millions of gallons of drinking water to the region. I will continue fighting for the funding we need to ensure good clean drinking water for generations to come.

The rise in antisemitism is beyond troubling. It should be a call to action for us all. I’ve heard from Jewish communities in NJ about these anxieties. No one should fear being the target of this kind of hate. We must do everything we can to combat it in all its forms.

Higher gas prices and higher grocery bills all because of Trump's war in Iran. The American people need a break. This November, we're flipping the Senate and electing leaders who will work for you, not Trump.

Trump says higher gas prices are a “small price to pay” for his reckless, illegal war. Tell that to Americans paying $20+ more per fill-up—which will cost drivers over $730 more per year on average. That’s not small.

Passive voice? Climate change has “become a partisan issue”? Say it straight: fossil fuel industry’s corruption has made it a partisan issue; Republicans are hip-deep in fossil fuel money and lies.

Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. This National Nurses Week, we honor the more than 5 million who show up for us every day.

Republicans kicked millions of kids and families off SNAP, then drove up the cost of basically everything with Trump's reckless tariffs and war of choice with Iran. They do not care about helping working families—not one bit—and I will keep fighting back.

When it’s you vs. the rich, Trump picks the rich. Every. Single. Time. The Senate passed this housing bill 89–10. The White House supported it. Now Trump’s siding with corporate landlords over families who just want to own a home.

The Fifth Circuit's ruling to limit access to medication abortion was a political decision by a few extremist judges. SCOTUS paused that ruling—now Congressional Democrats are arguing what the science always made clear: mifepristone is safe & effective.

When nothing can get through the Strait of Hormuz, it drives up costs across the global economy. I don't think there's a single person or company in Michigan that's not watching the price of gas right now and just sort of gasping when they pass by the gas station.

Last year, Senate Republicans tried to sell off 3 million acres of public lands in a massive land grab that would’ve devastated Colorado and the West. I introduced the Public Lands Integrity Act to stop future sell-offs through fast-tracked, backroom budget deals. We must protect our public lands.

Republicans' next big legislative push includes: ✅ $70+ billion for ICE & Border Patrol ✅$1 billion for Trump’s ballroom ❌ $0 for health care ❌$0 to help you afford the basics Budgets show your priorities—and this makes clear Republicans won't lift a finger to help working families.

Every military officer knows ‘hope’ is not a plan. But Pres. Trump took our nation to war with Iran without a plan, hoping for the best. 2 months later: Strait of Hormuz is still closed, costs are skyrocketing, & Trump can’t explain how this war ends. Americans deserve an answer.

Most of us can probably name a special teacher who made a huge difference in our lives. For me, that teacher was Mrs. Taylor. She put me on the path of scientific exploration that ultimately led to me studying engineering. Happy Teacher Appreciation Day to all our educators. 🍎

As a former prosecutor, I know we need to root out fraud and hold people accountable. As governor, I will order a top-to-bottom audit of our state agencies, strengthen criminal penalties, and increase in-person inspections. And that’s just the start. www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/minneso...

The Big Beef monopoly is crushing Americans. The DOJ heeding my call to investigate the meatpacking industry is a good first step, but results are urgently needed to lower costs. We must go further and pass my bill that would break up the beef monopoly once and for all.

Rubio’s refusal to properly honor Foreign Service Day & the 300+ FSOs who died while serving, is an affront to their service. Now, he's firing 250 of these non-partisan civil servants while we are in the middle of a war that is testing our alliances & endangering Americans around the world. [1/2]

In Muskegon, I visited Sun Chemical to talk about the importance of maintaining a strong, American chemical industry -- and not ceding any more manufacturing ground to China. Part of how we do that is by ensuring the government is buying American-made products first.

It is never a good idea for Presidents to be deciding which drugs, medical devices, or tobacco products should be approved for the market. Bad for patients, bad for industry. Let the scientists & doctors decide.
