It’s not every day you get to see two music pioneers strolling by. But anything’s possible on Minnesota State Fair Opening Day! Great catching up with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. I worked with them on passing Save Our Stages.

We are experiencing a measles crisis in America right now. And all at the hands of HHS Secretary RFK Jr. Americans deserve to know the truth and the facts: vaccines are safe. RFK Jr. refuses to tell the truth – Americans can’t afford another day with him in charge.

ICE's plan to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on shock gloves raises serious concerns about safety, accountability, and the potential for abuse. Given ICE’s record of excessive force and lack of transparency, I’m calling on ICE to scrap this plan and focus on holding its officers accountable.

Yesterday, we visited the site of the largest gas spill in Colorado history, just outside of Durango. Here’s the bottom line: the cleanup must stay ahead of the spread. We’ll keep pushing for accountability to protect public health and the environment.

Pausing immigrant visa applications worldwide will create significant delays and uncertainty for people who did everything right. This is cruel, unnecessary, and designed to stoke fear and punish immigrants trying to build a better life for themselves and their families.

Under Trump, New York families have had to spend $5,000 MORE for basic essentials — including gas, housing, groceries, and healthcare. $5,000 gone because of Trump's reckless cuts and endless war.

The National Park Service turned 110 this week, protecting America's most incredible places for over a century. If you've never seen the Grand Canyon or walked among the saguaros at sunset, go. Arizona's parks are some of the best our country has to offer.

IVF helps millions of women start and grow their families – but it’s out of reach for far too many. I joined all of my Democratic Senate colleagues in introducing a bill to protect access to these fertility treatments, including by expanding services for women who have served our country in uniform.

Ready for Trump’s latest effort to sow doubt in our elections? He’s pulling ICE officers responsible for screening immigration applications for security threats and tasking them with screening voter data for noncitizens — despite no evidence of widespread noncitizen voting.

So Trump is so obsessed with dissing our friends, neighbors, and trading partners in Canada that he just signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario. On behalf of the GREAT Lake Superior, I call that SUPERIORLY stupid. We’ve had enough of Trump’s tariff taxes. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

Today, I’m announcing a new bill to repeal and refund President Trump’s reckless tariffs on Canada. These tariffs will raise prices for working families and small businesses trying to make ends meet. We must save our economy from Trump.

Don't let Trump convince you that he has “lifted people off of food stamps.” He cut the program and took food AWAY from people. He didn’t lift anyone off of anything.

Sad and pathetic. Unable to solve a single problem facing Americans, this is what Trump resorts to. Voters will respond accordingly in November.

Nothing about this trade war has been good for our Main Streets. Small business owners in La Crosse told me firsthand how the president’s tariffs are driving up their costs and squeezing their bottom lines. They shouldn’t be shouldering this unnecessary burden.

Trump is trying to change the rules for how Americans vote just weeks before ballots go out. Thanks to the Supreme Court, he now has a path to do it. Our democracy is built on fair elections and clear, consistent rules. Why do Republicans want to put that in danger?

Trump said his “little excursion” in Iran would last a few weeks. It's now been six months of an expensive and needless war. 18 brave US troops are dead, the Strait is closed, gas prices are up, billions of dollars are wasted, and Trump is clueless on ending this war. Stop the war. No more funding.
