It was an honor to share a few words at the annual Asian Pacific Islander Day at the Minnesota State Capitol yesterday. Minnesota’s Asian Pacific Islander community is critical to the fabric of our state and will always be welcome here in Minnesota.
Today, my bill to expand high-speed internet access in rural communities passed the House.
We should be making it easier, not harder, to access online resources and that’s exactly what this bill does. It’s time for the Senate to pass this critical legislation and get it signed into law.
From telehealth to remote work, the ability to access the internet is more important than ever.
Trump’s DOJ has repeatedly overridden antitrust laws and hand-picked corporate mergers after meeting with high-profile lobbyists. I’ll let you do the math. I’m leading the push alongside @warren.senate.gov and @klobuchar.senate.gov for an investigation into DOJ’s potential antitrust violations.
From skincare to beverages, there’s a hemp-product for everyone.
This 4/20, remember to support your local hemp growers, brewers and small business owners!
Meanwhile, I’ll keep fighting to reverse the federal hemp ban.🍃
When our communities have access to public lands and outdoor spaces, they’re healthier, happier and more connected.
Last week, I had an important conversation with the Trust for Public Land about how we can continue to protect our precious public lands for generations of Minnesotans to come.
Skol! Always great to see the Vikings in Washington... next year is our year! 💜🏈
It was sweet to see Secretary of State Steve Simon this week in DC. Try saying that five times fast!
It's an honor to work with state leaders like Sec. Simon to ensure Minnesota has fair and free elections. Together, we’re working to protect democracy in our state.
Today Senate Republicans passed a bill to permanently roll back critical environmental protections on the BWCA. Which is a damn shame.
So many Minnesotans hold the BWCA near and dear to our hearts. And while today was a major blow in preserving MN’s pristine wilderness, this fight is far from over.
As if pulling innocent people off the street wasn’t cruel enough, ICE has been mining personal data to target immigrants and American citizens.
How? With technology handed to them by Palantir.
This is a complete breach of Minnesotans’ privacy, and I won’t stand for it.
Trump’s war in Iran has sent our economy into freefall, shot up costs for MN families and resulted in the loss of 13 U.S. servicemembers.
Enough. I’m pushing to let the House vote to rein in Trump and end the war in Iran. It’s time for Republicans to join us and put country over party.
The Boundary Waters are a national treasure, and we should preserve them for generations of Minnesotans to come.
Today the Senate is voting to permanently allow foreign mining in the Boundary Waters. I’m urging every Senator to vote no on this Minnesota-last bill.
Today, on Tax Day, Minnesotans are filing their federal taxes – including those on Social Security.
My You Earned It, You Keep It Act would eliminate federal taxes on Social Security benefits for good and ensure the program is around for generations to come.

Thanks to the war in Iran, Minnesotans are facing high gas prices and life is even more expensive. This week, House Democrats are bringing a resolution to the floor to end the war in Iran. Trump needs to bring his focus back home. Because Minnesotans want a life they can afford, not a forever war.
For over a month, my office has been going back and forth with ICE about Andrea’s condition.
We’ve been ignored, brushed off and even lied to about the treatment she’s received.
It’s time to bring Andrea home.

There's a larger pattern here. For too long, Washington politicians have abused their power and preyed on young staffers. I refuse to be silent. It must stop.
Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales need to resign. If they don’t, I’ll vote for both of their expulsions.
The sexual assault and misconduct allegations against Reps. Swalwell and Gonzales are deeply troubling. I'm heartbroken for the young women who came forward to bravely tell their stories, and for the irreparable harm done.
My constituent Andrea, who is being detained in Texas, has been denied the care she needs for months. Now, her habeas corpus petition has been denied too.
I stood with her lawyer, friends and advocates today to bring attention to her case. I won’t stop pushing to get her the care she needs.
This week, I met with Minnesota National Guard Major General Shawn Manke. We had an important discussion about how we can work together to support the brave men and women who keep our state safe.
Inflation tripled last month as a direct consequence of Trump’s war in Iran. And while MN families are deciding whether to put gas in the tank or food on the table, this admin is doing nothing to make life affordable again. It doesn’t have to be like this.

My constituent Andrea has been in need of urgent medical care while in ICE detention for months.
Folks all around the world — including global organizations like Amnesty International — are advocating for Andrea to get the care she needs. We won’t stop fighting until she gets it.
There’s a lot of trust that has to be restored in Minnesota and I won’t stop pushing for transparency for Minnesotans.

Despite what the Trump Administration will tell you — Minnesotans are still feeling the effects of Operation Metro Surge.
I conducted an unannounced oversight visit at the Whipple federal building yesterday after hearing reports of detainees still being held there.
The Trump Admin is trying to rescind a policy that would ensure LGBTQ+ foster youth have access to safe and affirming homes.
As a proud co-chair of @equality.house.gov, I’m leading the fight to protect LGBTQ+ foster youth.
Every child deserves a safe, supportive and loving home – no exceptions.
It’s a great day to be in Burnsville! In Congress, I worked to secure more than $7 million in federal funds for a new bus garage in Burnsville, and today I joined MVTA and other local leaders for the ribbon cutting.
As Passover comes to an end, Cheryl and I want to extend our best wishes to the Jewish community in Minnesota and around the world. We hope the past eight days have brought peace and happiness to you and your families. Chag Sameach!
Farmers are more than twice as likely to die by suicide than folks in the general population.
Today, I hosted a roundtable with farmers, mental health professionals and ag leaders to hear their experiences and work to address the farmer mental health crisis in Minnesota and across the country.
This Saturday, from 9AM to 2PM, my office will be hosting a table at the Paul Wellstone federal building for the Mpls Passport Agency’s 2026 Acceptance Event.
If you need a renewed passport – this is a great opportunity to apply. Make your appointment today!
Pres.Trump’s threat this morning to wipe out the entire population of Iran was beyond the pale — even for him. No Democrat or Republican in elected office should normalize this type of threat much less potential action by the president. It’s time to remove this deeply flawed man from the presidency.
We have a maternal health crisis in our country. As the richest nation in the world, that's simply unacceptable. I’m proud to join my colleagues in introducing the Momnibus, a 14-bill package that addresses every driver of maternal mortality, morbidity and inequities in MN and across our country.
