Today we celebrate the 50th anniversary of the resettlement of our Hmong and Southeast Asian allies. For 50 years, since the end of Vietnam War, Hmong Americans have been calling Minnesota home and making tremendous contributions to our culture and economy.

It’s heartbreaking to learn of a school shooting at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida. There have already been 98 mass shootings just four months into 2025. These are preventable acts of senseless brutality. We must take action to end gun violence.

Medicaid keeps Minnesota's families safe, healthy, and financially secure — but Republicans are trying to make the largest cut to Medicaid in American history to pass massive tax cuts for billionaires. I'll always fight against Republican efforts to take away Minnesotans' healthcare.

One in four Minnesotans rely on Medicaid for their health care. Today I joined families and volunteers with Protect Our Care Minnesota to speak out against Republican plans in Washington to cut vital services like Medicaid to give away massive tax breaks for billionaires.

I am grateful that Governor Josh Shapiro and his family are ok following the arson attack on their residence. Thanks to the swift actions of first responders who ensured that no one was injured and quickly apprehended a suspect. Political violence has no place in our country.

The House Republican budget adds $14 TRILLION in new debt over the decade. To put that in context: That’s more than DOUBLE the amount that the entire federal government spends annually! I voted NO.

Vaccines save lives. HHS Secretary Kennedy’s anti-vaccine rhetoric is dangerous and deadly. We do not want to return to the past where measles and other preventable diseases spread easily. I urge all parents: Vaccinate your children.

Elon Musk is an unelected billionaire running DOGE as if he doesn't have to answer to Americans. I'm calling on Speaker Johnson to immediately bring Musk before Congress to explain his actions and answer questions in a public setting.

Elon Musk and President Trump are trying to break Medicaid and Social Security. They're attacking the free press, defunding colleges and universities, and rolling back our rights. This weekend, Minnesotans gathered by the thousands to say #HandsOff!

President Trump fired NSA's top officials who upheld security standards while shielding his 18 appointees who jeopardized it by using Signal for classified info. Scapegoating qualified leadership to protect his appointees who broke the law is disgraceful and weakens our national security!

The remains of four U.S. soldiers return to Dover Air Force Base today, and President Trump couldn't be bothered to be present for it. Instead, he's golfing at Mar-a-Lago. Trump is paying more attention to a Saudi-backed golf tournament than he is to our nation's fallen heroes.

President Trump says his tariff rollout is “going very well.” Most American families shocked by the hit to their retirement savings and higher costs today would disagree.

As a candidate, Donald Trump promised he’d lower costs on ‘Day One.’ As President, Trump’s igniting a trade war that his own advisors say will bring economic pain for the American people.

"Groceries" is only an old-fashioned and beautiful term if you are an out-of-touch billionaire who does not buy them. Tariffs are taxes. Grocery prices will rise.

Republicans in Congress have already given up their power to the executive, and now they're demanding the same from the judiciary. I will vote no on the ridiculous scheme to ban nationwide injunctions. We must maintain a nonpartisan bench and protect the separation of powers.

Everyone on the Signal chat must be held fully accountable, including the other 18 senior Trump Administration officials who had a duty to intervene immediately. They failed to do that. Republicans in Congress must immediately issue subpoenas, hold hearings, and investigate this reckless conduct.

If anyone else in the military did what Secretary Hegseth did, they would be fired immediately, could be dishonorably discharged, and certainly would lose their security clearance. We cannot have one set of rules for the Secretary of Defense and another set of rules for everyone else.

The Secretary of Defense used a non-secure, commercial messaging app to discuss the timeline of an impending military operation. This information in the hands of adversaries would certainly put American lives at risk.

The Department of Defense specifically prohibits DoD personnel from using Signal to share non-public information. Secretary Hegseth shared detailed information in the Signal chat about a forthcoming military strike — a clear and obvious violation of his own department's policy.
