Outrageous. These politically motivated firings at Stars and Stripes — the DoD newspaper funded by taxpayer dollars — are yet another blatant crackdown on free speech and a free press. We must defend our freedoms at every turn.

Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump will stop at nothing to suppress free speech. I commend Ms. Korte for her bravery and commitment to reporting the truth despite the rampant pressure and intimidation she faced from the Department of Defense.

Craven political trashing of Stars & Stripes is a despicable disservice to all Americans, most especially veterans & service members. It reeks of retribution for courageous reporting on the Abraham Lincoln’s abhorrent conditions. It smacks of coverup. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I visited Winona Health to talk about expanding Minnesota’s health care workforce. We need more doctors, nurses, clinicians, and medical technicians in every corner of the state so people don't have to drive hours to get health care.

Through IVF, my family was able to welcome our son Jack. If we’re serious about strengthening families, growing our economy, and investing in the next generation, we should be making it easier for Americans to become parents. Read more from Grindr CEO George Arison and me in The Hill:

Nevada continues to face a shortage of doctors and nurses – especially in specialty practice areas. That means it’s more difficult for families and children to access the care they need.

I met with Mayor Solomon in Jersey City to discuss our shared priorities, including building more affordable housing and keeping New Jerseyans safe from ICE aggression. This local-federal partnership is key to serving residents in Jersey City and across the Garden State.

Canada is NOT the 51st state. Trump owes our friends and neighbors an apology for nearly 2 years of his boorish insults and jeers. Canada IS Washington state’s biggest trading partner and our country’s closest ally. Dump Trump’s tariffs. NO TRADE WAR. 🇺🇸🇨🇦
- PM
Let’s be clear about who pays a 50% tariff on Canada: American businesses. American families. Costs are already too high thanks to Trump’s war and OTHER tariffs—and Trump just made them HIGHER. A tariff is a tax WE pay. STOP TRUMP’S TARIFFS.

Trump’s chaotic trade wars are bleeding the American people dry, and now he’s coming back for more. Trump just slapped another bill on hardworking American families — who are already crushed by his skyrocketing costs. This nonsense with Canada should have never gone into effect. It must end now.

New Trump tariffs just went into effect. Now it’s 50% tariffs on Canadian goods. That means higher costs for small businesses, farmers, and all Minnesota families. Canada is Minnesota’s #1 trading partner. Minnesotans are paying for Trump’s chaos.

Earlier this week, I visited the Boeing plant in St. Louis to get a first look at the F-15EXs and KC-46s destined for Selfridge Air National Guard Base. In order to get the aircraft destined for Selfridge on time, we must increase production from 1-2 planes/month, so we walked through their plans.

I see a lot of my Republican colleagues are pretending to be alarmed by the national debt. Give me a break. Those concerns would have been useful before they voted for a bloated defense budget, blank checks for a lawless ICE operation, and tax breaks for the richest of the rich.

Speaking out against censorship is as American as it gets. If Secretary Hegseth is threatened by that, he should find a new job and let the press do theirs.

Alexandria Police Chief David Suckling has helped lower overdoses by training officers, building community partnerships, and expanding access to prevention tools. Now, the Trump Administration wants to ban proven tools like test strips that we know save lives.

Rural Minnesota needs more housing — housing that’s affordable and can be built quickly to meet the needs of families. In Detroit Lakes, I saw an example of what we can and should be doing more of across the state: manufactured homes.

Here we go again. Just like the last time when the Trump Administration gave a sweetheart beef import deal to Argentina at the expense of American ranchers. Today’s action undercuts American ranchers, who are the best in the world at what they do. www.agriculture.com/cattle-group...

TikTok’s unconscionable greed—withholding a safety feature to test its impact on engagement—cost a teenager his life. Big Tech will continue to put profit over kids’ lives until we pass the Kids Online Safety Act.

Back-to-school supplies are now 8% more expensive, driven in part by President Trump’s tariffs. We introduced legislation to exempt backpacks, notebooks, and other school supplies. Republicans refused to even vote on it. Working families shouldn’t have to pay the price for Trump’s bad policies.

The MAGA Supreme Court is rubber stamping Trump’s vanity-driven, gilded corruption. As costs skyrocket, the administration is wasting money on an endless and illegal war, corporate giveaways, and Trump’s pet projects.

Trump & Rubio's blockade of Cuba has created a humanitarian crisis. They are making life miserable for the Cuban people, including children — not the regime. We must learn from six decades of failed Cuba policy. The blockade must end.
