Tubman is an amazing organization that provides services like shelter, legal services & more to those in our community who need help most. Today I toured Tubman's Chrysalis Center & met with their leadership to learn how I can support their mission of safety, hope and healing at the federal level.

Under Biden, these abusive fees were capped at $5. The Trump administration wants to strip away protections so financial giants can continue this predatory tax. This is what happens when billionaires and their bought-and-paid-for politicians run the show. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Donald Trump shut off funding for dozens of Head Start programs across the country. I visited the PICA Head Start Training Center in Minneapolis to hear firsthand from educators on ways the federal funding cuts would impact students across our state.

I'm currently in a Budget Committee markup. This is what Republicans want to do: ❌ Slash $880 billion from Medicaid ❌ Cut $230 billion from food assistance ❌ Hand $4.5 trillion in tax breaks to billionaires & big corporations This is a Republican rip off.

Trump’s plan to slash research funding would wipe out $150 million from the University of Minnesota's budget, killing jobs and crippling innovation. Trump and his allies want to defund public research so private corporations can profit off of life-saving medical breakthroughs.

CFPB has fought against predatory banks, shady student loan lenders, and payday loan sharks. The agency has saved consumers more than $20B. Now, Trump’s cronies are gutting it from the inside to make it easier for Wall Street to cheat you out of your savings. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Elon Musk wasn’t elected by the American people. He has no business accessing our government’s payment systems. Our democracy will not be at the mercy of a billionaire who thinks rules don’t apply to him.

Elon Musk, an unelected, unappointed billionaire, is illegally trying to take away critical humanitarian funding from the poorest people around the world – funding that Congress has already appropriated, and cannot be reappropriated. There is no reason he should be allowed to make these decisions.

This month we celebrate Black History as American history. Hateful attacks to programs of diversity, equity, and inclusion cannot erase the resilience, resistance and progress our communities have made in shaping our nation — and will continue to make as we work towards a more equitable future.

Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire, is wasting no time in abusing the influence he bought with $290 million by eliminating USAID, a program that's saved millions of lives. Real people who depend on this critical aid to access food, shelter, and medical care will die because of this decision.

I convened community leaders, state & local officials to emphasize the impact of the Trump Admin's federal funding freeze on Minnesotans. This freeze would gut nutrition assistance programs & bring medical research & coverage to a halt. We will not stand by & let these illegal actions take effect.

I joined MN State Rep. Sydney Jordan for a visit to Niron Magnetics in Minneapolis where we recognized a tax credit of over $52 million secured through the Inflation Reduction Act. Niron Magnetics will use this tax credit to expand its workforce in Minnesota, creating over 100 union jobs.
