I agree with @jstreetdotorg. Elon Musk’s illegal power grab of USAID disrupts US alliances around the globe and threatens to upend the ceasefire in the Middle East.

Trump’s 25% tariff on Canadian goods is set to begin at midnight. Costs will go up for American families:. ⚡️ Energy.🚙 Cars, trucks, and auto parts.⚙️ Metals.🥖 Baked goods.🥩 Meat. Remember: WE ALL pay for Trump tariffs, not Canada.

I strongly oppose President Trump and Elon Musk's illegal attacks on Americans' rights, our privacy, and our national security.

It's been great hearing from business owners about their issues and priorities today during Black Entrepreneurs Day at the State Capitol. Black business owners play a key role in creating jobs, building wealth, and growing our economy. I'm proud to support their work.

President Trump is allowing unelected billionaire Elon Musk to illegally raid U.S. government agencies and seize Americans’ classified information from @USTreasury. These are major attacks on our rights and our privacy.

The Trump-Musk illegal shutdown of @USAID is a serious attack on our national security. USAID’s work is a better and cheaper option to promote political stability than the alternative – more American boots on the ground and more money for bullets and bombs to fight terrorism.

Whether or not you think the tariffs are good, one has to ask why Canada — our best friend and closest trading partner — is hit with a 25% tariff while our top adversary, China, faces just a 10% tariff.

All of us in the Great Lakes area will feel the impact of these tariffs more than any other part of the United States. We share a peaceful border with Canada. They are fabulous trading partners and we both know how to play fair, especially when it comes to hockey.

Disrupting this critical trading partnership comes at a steep cost paid for by working Americans — not the countries importing their goods into the U.S.

Black history is American history. As we celebrate #BlackHistoryMonth this February, may we honor the numerous achievements of Black Minnesotans & African Americans across the nation who've fought for equal rights, empowered their communities, and changed the course of history.

My heart is with the families and loved ones of those impacted by the tragic aircraft collision at DCA. Our nation is grateful for the heroic first responders who are doing everything they can to rescue potential survivors. America goes to sleep with a heavy heart tonight.

President Trump's temporary pause of his illegal and unconstitutional shutdown of the federal government leaves Americans with more confusion, more chaos, and more questions. Project 2025 was an instruction manual, and the White House is following it step-by-step.

Today I met with #MN04 superintendents and mayors about their priorities. These public servants deliver on the needs of our communities, and I am committed to working to ensure our federal tax dollars return to Minnesota for our schools and local infrastructure projects.

I commend Judge AliKhan for quickly pausing the irrational, incompetent, and illegal actions by President Trump yesterday. Because of her intervention, our government will be able to continue delivering the services that Americans expect and deserve.

General Mark Milley admirably served the United States and the U.S. Army for 43 years. We should honor his service, not denigrate it. Secretary Hegseth’s petty actions serve no official purpose beyond settling personal scores on behalf of President Trump.

President Trump told the American people that he wanted to be a dictator on day one. Now in office, he and his administration are making good on that promise with illegal and unconstitutional actions that directly threaten Americans’ economic, personal, and national security.

The flurry of unconstitutional Trump Executive Orders and memos issued in the last week make America weaker and less safe. They are increasing costs for health care, housing, and groceries across our country.

Every elected official has a duty to the American people to uphold and defend the Constitution. The President’s unilateral decision to withhold funding for America’s priorities passed by Congress and signed into law is an attack on American families and the rule of law.

Solidarity with Delta Air Lines workers fighting for union recognition with @DeltaAFA and @IAM_DeltaRamp. Their service and professionalism is unsurpassed — from ramp, cargo, and tower workers to flight attendants. They deserve decent pay, good benefits, and a voice on the job!
