Right after voting NO on the Senate's terrible deal last week, I joined DFLers in Senate District 41 for their monthly meeting to discuss my vote and to thank them for the work they're doing to help deliver DFL victories up and down the ballot in 2026. Good to be with them!

The House and the Senate have both passed legislation to release the Epstein files. It's now up to President Trump to sign the bill as he said he would.

The Senate’s terrible deal does nothing to address the looming healthcare crisis coming from Republicans’ refusal to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits and the Medicaid and Medicare cuts they made in the Big Ugly Bill.

The Senate’s government funding bill fails to address the Republican health care crisis and cuts SNAP by $18 billion. It’s a bad deal for the American people — I’ll be a strong NO when this bill comes up for a vote in the House of Representatives.

Earlier this week, I held a forum at a Saint Paul food shelf on the impacts of the Trump administration's tampering with SNAP benefits. With today's court order, the administration needs to obey the law and ensure SNAP recipients don't go hungry.

While some in the Trump administration say food benefits could restart as soon as this Wednesday, the uncertainty is stressful for Minnesotans who rely on them and food shelves in the state.

This bill wouldn’t just send Border Patrol agents into the Boundary Waters—this would allow the Department of Homeland Security to bulldoze habitats, trails, streams, and campgrounds to construct Border Patrol installations in America’s most breathtaking and scenic wilderness.

Donald Trump is retaliating against states that voted against him in the 2024 presidential election by canceling grants to expand the grid, boost clean energy, and improve America’s infrastructure. It’s illegal, it’s shortsighted, and it’s childish.
