After opening its Eagan facility, Solventum has supported #MN02 not only through its quality dental care and innovative medical technology – but also by bringing more than 2,000 jobs to the region. It was great to see my friends at Solventum last week and thank them for all they do for our district!

This week, I spoke with the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce about how we can continue to advocate for Minnesota small businesses in a time of uncertainty. And I had the opportunity to wish the Chamber President, Doug Loon, a happy retirement!

President Trump is an existential threat to our democracy, and we can’t afford to stand by while his corrupt administration takes a sledgehammer to our rights and freedoms.   That’s why today, I’m introducing the Hands Off Elections Act and announcing my five-point plan to combat the Trump Admin’s attacks on democracy and safeguard our elections for generations to come.

Today’s vote targeting @GovTimWalz and @AGEllison is nothing but another baseless political attack on our state. Instead of introducing legislation to actually repair the damage done by fraud and prevent similar crimes in the future, House Republicans are using their power to play into President Trump’s political games. This isn’t reform. It’s retribution.

There’s no Minnesota without dairy, and no one embodies Minnesota’s dairy culture better than Land O' Lakes! Today, I met with Land O’Lakes in DC to discuss how we can continue to support Minnesota’s dairy farmers and retailers. Thanks for stopping by! 🥛🐄

President Trump — the same guy who has personally profited $4 billion since taking office — just said he “loves inflation.” He has no idea what Minnesotans are facing every day in the grocery store, at the gas pump and at the kitchen table — and it shows.

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Today, our country woke up to the highest inflation rates since 2023 while President Trump signed a $70 billion handout to ICE into law. For Minnesotans, this is a slap in the face. To the Trump Admin, it’s just another Wednesday.
NOW: President Trump signs the $70 billion “Secure America Act," funding ICE and Border Patrol through 2029. WATCH LIVE: youtube.com/watch?v=axHPsz-o…

61 years ago this week, the Supreme Court affirmed a woman’s right to contraception. Today, House Republicans are trying to take that right away.   Politics have no place in a woman’s health care decisions. That’s why I’m leading the fight to protect Minnesotans’ reproductive freedoms and stop this blatant government overreach.

Planned Parenthood empowers women to make their own decisions about their futures, families and health. We’re working together to ensure every woman – no matter her zip code, income level or political party – has access to affordable, safe and comprehensive health care.

Donald Trump doesn’t love Minnesota’s family farmers — he only loves himself.

Right now, AI companies are not required to flag users who are showing warning signs of committing acts of violence, like school shootings. Why? Because Big Tech doesn’t care about our kids’ safety. I’m fighting to change that.

America’s veterans risked their lives for our country and it’s our job to ensure they’re taken care of when they come home. That’s why when we saw a startling trend of claims sharks robbing our heroes of their earned VA benefits, we drafted a bill to stop them. I’m pushing to pass the SAFEGUARD Veterans Act, which ensures our nation’s veterans can access their benefits and thatthose who try to exploit them face justice.

When I visited Andrea at an ICE detention center in El Paso last month, getting her home to Minnesota was our dream. Today, it’s a reality. Andrea, welcome home. 🩷

Minnesotans are struggling every single day to fill up their gas tank and put food on the table. Instead of making your life more affordable, President Trump is spending billions of tax dollars on an unnecessary war in the Middle East. Minnesotans deserve better than this reckless administration.

I’ve been sounding the alarm for months about the Admin’s efforts to open an ICE detention center in Appleton. Today, we learned DHS is planning to do just that. This is disgusting. ICE and their for-profit private prison contractors — like CoreCivic — have no place in our state and I won’t stop fighting to keep them out of Minnesota. startribune.com/shuttered-ap…

This week marks one year since I helped introduce the End Corruption Now legislative agenda. As President Trump continues to leverage his position to rake in billions of dollars for his family, I’m working to enact reforms to clean up Washington, protect Minnesotans’ tax dollars and hold crooked politicians accountable. It’s time to take on the corruption head on.

USDA's own 2026 "Farms and Land" report says the U.S. lost 15,000 farms in the first year of Trump's trade war. Secretary Rollins is trying ignore inconvenient facts.

Honored to wear orange today in honor of Gun Violence Awareness Month. This year I’m thinking of the families and children of Annunciation Catholic School – including Harper and Fletcher, the two children we lost on that tragic day in August. Earlier this year, a parent from Annunciation hand delivered a letter her daughter wrote to me. The letter talked about her experience during the shooting and asked me to do something about it. It’s framed on my desk, and I look at it every single day. We can and should grieve these horrific losses, but our words mean nothing unless we’re willing to take action. It’s time to get weapons of war off our streets.

President Trump may be buddy-buddy with Vladimir Putin, but we all know that Russia is no friend to the United States.  Today, I voted to continue providing necessary aid to Ukraine and impose sanctions on Russia for its continued attacks on our democratic ally. It’s time to end this war.
