I just spoke with the Mayor about the horrific shootings with multiple victims in downtown Minneapolis. Please avoid the area as law enforcement works to secure the scene. My prayers are with the victims and their loved ones. Thank you to our courageous law enforcement.

Health care costs are expected to skyrocket by 8.2% in 2027. That’s the highest increase for employers in TWO DECADES. Under Donald Trump and Republicans, the cost of living keeps climbing higher and higher, with no relief in sight.

It was great to celebrate the opening of DreamTree's NEST Resource Center in Taos, a project I secured $1.5 million for. DreamTree has helped hundreds of Taoseños find food, shelter, and dignity, and NEST will provide expanded access to emergency shelter and basic necessities.

Over 6 months into this war, and Trump has accomplished none of his goals. The Iranian regime is more extreme. Gas prices are still up. We’ve spent untold billions and lost American lives. Why won’t he say enough is enough?

The thing that will work is ending fossil fuel’s “we get to pollute for free” business model, a model without moral or economic justification, but one defended by fossil fuel with its massive campaign of fraudulent lies and dark-money corruption. apnews.com/article/clim...

Great joining the housing forum at the KARE 11 Barn today at the State Fair. I have a plan to lower costs and make life more affordable for Minnesota families – and that starts with housing.

A trained service member in the middle of a war zone was blocked from fixing his broken MRI machine. That's wrong. Today, a court handed a loss to the giant companies making it harder to repair lifesaving equipment. We'll keep fighting to make right to repair law of the land.

Glad to see a federal judge stop the Trump admin's illegal attempts to weaken anti-discrimination guardrails in housing. Fair housing groups are essential to ensuring housing remains accessible to all. HUD must promptly comply with this ruling & end these baseless attacks.

President Trump’s reckless war & lack of a coherent strategy continues to drive up gas prices, which are now 40% higher than pre-war levels. And Americans just experienced the priciest August at the pump ever, according to AAA.

The cost of everything has gotten far too expensive, and the President has only made it worse. That's why I've spent these past 8 months traveling New Hampshire to hear how I can help in Washington to help make life more affordable.

Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump a gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. Then — poof — a month later, their diamonds got an exemption from Trump's tariffs. I'm investigating what looks like corruption in plain sight.

I've represented Burbank and Hollywood for over two decades in the House, and now in the Senate. I love the film industry and the work they do. And I'm intently focused on enacting a federal film tax incentive to bring back the jobs we've lost and to protect the exciting work this industry does.

You get energy affordability by getting off fossil fuel. Clean energy is least expensive on the grid. Clean energy has less “negative externalities” (pollution). Get enough clean energy and you get free electricity periods of the day. Our offshore is 9 cents/kwh in 18-cent grid.

After our trip to the Gaza-Egypt border last year, @merkley.senate.gov & I released a report entitled, "The Netanyahu Government is Implementing a Plan to Ethnically Cleanse Gaza of Palestinians." Now the Israeli Min of Defense confirmed that's the goal. We must end our complicity.

Lisa Demuth couldn’t name one thing she disagrees with Donald Trump on. Not the health care cuts that are devastating our rural hospitals. Not the war in Iran that has cost American lives & driven up prices. Minnesotans deserve a Governor who will work for them – not a rubber-stamp for Donald Trump.

Nationwide, it's clear ICE doesn't care about the health of the people they detain. The lack of accountability is unacceptable. At Delaney Hall and other facilities, people are suffering without proper medical care. They deserve so much better – that's what I'm fighting for.

Remember when ICE said they were "on track" to equip every agent in the field with body-worn cameras by the end of August? It's September and it still hasn't happened. This delay just proves how unserious the Admin is about holding ICE accountable with the proper oversight measures in place.
