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.

Michigan has already weathered bad trade deals, and seen too many of our manufacturing jobs disappear offshore to places like China. We need to learn the lessons of the past 30 years, and pass my bipartisan bill to ban Chinese Communist Party-subsidized cars from coming into the United States.

1.2 million jobs in Michigan are directly or indirectly related to the auto industry. It is our economic backbone. I have a special responsibility to protect it.

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.

NASA’s newest telescope launched this weekend and is on the way to its new home almost 1 million miles from Earth. Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard on this. I can’t wait to see what the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope teaches us about our universe. https://bit.ly/4xeEvyg

Another day, another story about food contamination and recalls. I’m tired of it. You’re tired of it. It’s time for this administration to be held accountable for failing to keep food safe.

I was on the Olympic Peninsula to make it absolutely clear: public lands should stay in public hands! Trump wants to keep cutting funding for our Forest Service and National Parks, and I won't let him.

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.

Glad the president is celebrating an important NASA achievement that he tried to kill. Ever since his first term, Trump has tried to cancel the Roman Space Telescope. Time after time, Congress worked together to stop him. Looks like even he's glad we did.

Trump can't outrun his own chaos. The American people have been footing the bill for the Trump Tariff Tax, an endless war with Iran, and Trump’s destructive healthcare cuts. This November, Trump and Republicans will face the consequences.

It’s been over six months since Trump started his illegal war with Iran. Shortly after, he declared ‘complete and total’ victory. Americans see right through the lies. They’re sick of waking up to headlines of servicemembers lost and higher prices everywhere.

A whistleblower from the U.S. Postal Service has confirmed what we feared: Trump's mail-ballot verification system is so broken it could lose or reject ballots ahead of the midterms. So, I'm demanding USPS testify before the Senate. If you try to impede Arizonans from voting, you have answer to us.

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.

You know what they always say... stop and smell the plumerias! It's always a treat to stop by Little Plumeria Farms to chat with my friends, the Littles, while getting to see and smell their beautiful plumeria trees. Wish me luck as I try to grow my very own plumeria tree!

This is outrageous. We just learned that health insurance prices are set to increase by another 20% in Georgia next year. Donald Trump cut health care and this is the result.

But Minnesota has always been a leader in innovation, including new ways to fertilize crops. This gives farmers more options, lowers input costs, strengthens our agricultural economy, and reduces water pollution. That’s the kind of agricultural innovation I will support as Governor.
- AK
Minnesota farmers know how quickly events around the world can drive up costs here at home. When Trump’s war in Iran disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, fertilizer prices spiked — and Minnesota farmers felt it immediately.

Another person just died in ICE detention. It’s more than double the number of people who died in all four years under the previous Administration. The Trump Administration’s mass deportation policy does not represent America’s values.

As a father, it's devastating to see the impact Trump and Republicans' cuts to SNAP are having on our kids. Too many are at risk of losing the nutritious meals they need to stay healthy and focused – and parents don't need another thing to worry about as we go back to school. 1/2
