$5.84 a gallon for diesel is a new all-time high. Donald Trump and JD Vance own this. And instead of taking responsibility, they want you to be grateful for it.

Housing is the foundation for our lives — and I’m committed to lowering housing costs as Governor by working with the private sector to close Minnesota’s housing shortage and build 100,000 homes.

You can’t take a job in another town if there’s no place to live. You can’t grow a family without a place to put them.

When 13 American colonies united in rebellion, RI played a special role. Now, thanks to a new NEH Gov grant, the Newport Historical Society is preserving & digitizing its Revolutionary War era archives & making our history more accessible to all. pbn.com/newport-hist...

As the new school year begins, I delivered a $4 million federal investment to help education & labor leaders strengthen RI’s educator pipeline.

It was a great chance for me to pick their brains about what they’re seeing up here AND for them to ask me about what’s going on in Washington. We talked in depth about corruption, immigration, healthcare, and Social Security. Thank you to everyone who joined!

This is yet another reason ICE needs wholesale reforms to ensure ICE hires don’t put our communities at risk and are held accountable for their actions every step of the way. step of the way.

In their rush to meet arrest quotas ICE cut corners and hired officers without basic vetting leading to the abuses and deaths we’ve seen on our streets.

Trump’s war of choice in Iran is sending costs through the roof for folks here at home. It’s past time we reined in this illegal war and focused on bringing down costs for families in Oregon and across the country.

Two years ago today, an unspeakable tragedy struck Apalachee High School. I’m thinking of the victims, their families, and the entire Apalachee community as we remember the four souls we lost. I will never stop working to end gun violence and make our schools and communities safe for every child.

Great to spend some time at the @ibewinternational.bsky.social 906 hall in Marquette. We had a pizza party with some of their members and some folks from Carpenters and Millwrights 1510, UA 111, @afscme.bsky.social 925, and @aaup.org Michigan.

Democrats and Republicans, Minnesotans and Wisconsinites — we may not agree on who should win the Super Bowl or who has better cheese curds, but we do agree the Blatnik Bridge is worth investing in. Thank you to my friend Senator Tammy Baldwin and all who came together to make this project possible.

Our top military leader has confirmed to me that he will not follow unlawful orders and deploy troops to the polls. Now we need it in writing from the top leaders at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, FBI and National Guard.

Amid a measles outbreak in the U.S. and an Ebola outbreak abroad, Trump’s Pentagon is planning to siphon funds Congress provided for lifesaving infectious disease research to help pay for illegal wars. I introduced the Slash the Pentagon Act because we should be funding healthcare—not warfare.

Granite Staters deserve access to quality mental and behavioral health care when they need it. I appreciated hearing from West Central Behavioral Health about its work to expand care and better serve communities across the Upper Valley.

The Blatnik Bridge connects Duluth and Superior — two cities built around one truly Great Lake that has powered trade and commerce here for generations. That lake is now, and will always be, known as Lake Superior.

Building yet another golden eyesore, this time right by the DCA landing approach, in one of the most complex airspaces in the entire country. Trump puts his vanity projects over your safety.

In its latest attempt to destroy the integrity of our elections, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow mail-in ballot limits. American voters will pick their leaders—not Donald Trump. My statement:

The President is being very clear about his intentions to interfere in elections this November. We need to know that the top leaders within our government will follow the law.

Small businesses like Fraboni's in Monona are pillars of our local economies and keep our communities fed. Unfortunately, this family-owned restaurant is being forced to deal with sky-high prices because of the president’s reckless trade war, and it just shouldn’t be this way.

It’s now been 3 years since Nelson passed away. He was Gabby's service dog after her injury and a member of our family for over 10 years. We still miss him every day.

Donald Trump promised lower costs and no new wars. Now his war with Iran is raising the cost of everything from groceries to mortgage rates.

We need to make healthcare affordable, accessible, and universal. A huge first step will be passing our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act into law to finally bring price transparency to our healthcare system. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

As the whistleblower has made clear, it’s constructed to crash, a purposeful sabotage of mail voting. It puts at risk all ballots of the 1/3 of Americans who vote by mail. 3/

It’s a system designed to fail—impossible to implement in time & consistent with the right to vote. 2/

Instead of an emergency appeal—recklessly prolonging litigation—Trump should simply abandon his insidious new USPS mail ballot rule designed to disenfranchise millions of Americans. 1/

Trump is weaponizing the tax code against colleges that provide opportunities for students who have been historically excluded. We must continue to stand up against this Administration’s war on civil rights and DEI.

Today, we remember Gloria Steinem and celebrate her incredible contributions to women's rights and gender equality. Gloria was a true trailblazer, and we must carry her legacy forward.

We owe so much to Gloria Steinem, who devoted her life to fighting for equality and women's rights. She said: "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off." May those words continue to guide us in the years to come. My thoughts are with all who knew and loved her.

If a Democrat made $2 billion off of their presidency while waging an illegal war that's spiking costs for families, Republicans would immediately call for impeachment. No more corruption. No more war. No more leaving families behind.
- RW
Gloria Steinem’s life was a testament to the power of conviction, courage, and the pursuit of justice. She challenged our nation to live up to its highest ideals and opened doors for generations of women to come. May her legacy continue to inspire us to keep building a more just and equal America.

The Trump administration has repeatedly sought Americans’ private data. Now CPSC wants names, addresses, birthdates, diagnoses, and other sensitive information from emergency room patients. CPSC must immediately halt this sweeping and invasive data collection.

Republicans gave the Education Department an extra $1 billion to manage federal student loans. Since then, student loan defaults have hit record highs —and the agency won't tell us how it’s spent the money. I’m pressing for answers.

Apple Tree, thanks for having me today and for all you do to provide quality, accessible, and affordable dental care to Minnesotans in rural communities.

Minnesotans just want to see a dentist. They shouldn’t have to take hours out of their day to find one that accepts their insurance.

But after that many patients over the course of 30 years, the clinic needed upgrades and more space to keep up with that demand. So, we secured $3.7 million of federal funding for the clinic upgrades and expansion.
