GO USA!! So proud of our women’s hockey team for winning the World Championship 🇺🇸🏒 www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/s...

In Zumbrota, MN, I stood with Beth Benike. She's a U.S. Army veteran, a mom, and an award-winning entrepreneur. She’s working tirelessly to grow and expand her small business. But despite all her success, Trump’s exorbitant and reckless tariff wars are posing an existential threat to her business.

Stop the cuts! Inspired to see so many Minnesotans coming together to demand the Trump Administration end its attacks on Medicaid, Social Security, and SNAP—just to fund tax breaks for billionaires. The rule of law is under attack but we are not powerless, and we’re fighting back 🇺🇸💙

Research doesn’t just live in labs. It supports jobs and boosts local economies. Cutting NIH funding could hit nearly half of all counties with over $200,000 in losses. Trump’s gutting of NIH will take money out of our communities, and put scientific progress on pause. www.axios.com/2025/04/09/n...

RFK Jr. visits epicenter of Texas measles outbreak after death of second child who was infected U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. visited Seminole, the epicenter of the measles outbreak, which started in late January and continues to swell — with nearly 500 cases in Texas alone.

Heartbreaking.

There have been more pediatric deaths from measles in the past 2 months than in the last 2 decades combined.

This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the result of anti-vax extremists like RFK Jr. eroding trust in science, and putting lives at risk. apnews.com/article/meas...

Today's Number of the Day is 20.

RFK Jr. said 20% of the staff fired at HHS were cut by mistake.

As a doctor, it has always been unbelievable to me that anyone would think they’re better suited to make a personal health care decision more than the patient themself.

I’m standing up in front of the Supreme Court demanding Americans' freedom to choose their health care.

Why I have hope...

The Supreme Court is reviewing a case that could let **the government** decide where you get health care and which doctor you can see.

That’s not just wrong -- it’s un-American.

Paige Bueckers vies for NCAA Championship Minnesota-native Paige Bueckers takes her team to the floor in the Final Four to do all she can to avoid disappointment again.

Congrats to Paige Bueckers from Hopkins, MN on leading her team to the national championship game! Cheering you on from Minnesota. We’re so proud of you, Paige! 🏀 👏 www.kare11.com/video/news/l...

RFK Jr. just fired the staff who work on asthma and air pollution, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters. thehill.com/policy/energ...

They lied.

Then they tried to cover their tracks.

But worst of all—through an egregious national security failure—they could have gotten American troops killed.

They must resign or be fired. Immediately.

Today’s number of the day is 52—the percentage of counties in the U.S. that don’t have a single hospital that provides obstetric care.

And now, Republicans want to gut Medicaid—the largest payer of maternity care—to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

This level of negligence in handling American military intelligence is completely unacceptable. Defense Secretary Hegseth and National Security Advisor Waltz must resign — or be fired.

Honored to join the five other Democratic doctors in the House to defend health care and fight for a future where Americans are healthy and thriving.

Trump and Musk are gutting NOAA.

Fishermen rely on it for safe waters, farmers for planning, and wildfire teams for real-time data. Weakening it threatens lives & the economy.

But Trump and Musk don’t care—especially when that money ends up in their pockets.

Another reckless attack on science.

Trump said he had “concepts of a plan” for health care.

But is he doing?
❌ Trying to gut coverage for 80M Americans

❌ Slashing the time to sign up for insurance

❌ Gutting programs that help people enroll

It’s clear: the real plan is to take away health care to fund tax cuts for billionaires.

We cannot put our seniors’ care on the chopping block to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

I implore my Republican colleagues to work with us on a budget that will give our seniors the care they need and deserve.

Today’s number of the day is 3.14 – the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. As a woman in STEM, I love a day that celebrates math & science.

And while science is under attack by this admin, we've seen that speaking out and public pressure works. Let’s keep getting loud for science!

The VA is not waste, it’s a lifeline COMMENTARY | “There’s a way to improve VA without hasty and indiscriminate cuts that will set us back and hinder our ability to provide compassionate care,” argues one VA staffer and former combat med...

Veterans put everything on the line for this country. They deserve a government that fights for them -- not against them.

A powerful read from a decorated Army combat veteran.

The Trump-Vance Admin has launched an attack on our nation's veterans, and it must stop. www.govexec.com/management/2...

Measles used to kill hundreds of kids every year—until vaccines helped eliminate it in the U.S. in 2000. Now RFK Jr. wants to take us back to a time when this disease ran rampant. We don’t need to relive that.

Loved making care packages for the USO with Cindy Vindman!

These packages will go to deployed service members.

As part of a proud military family, and a member of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, I’m grateful for our service members and everything they do for our country. 🇺🇸

I’m hosting an in-person town hall next week! I look forward to hearing your thoughts, and answering your questions.

📅 Thursday, March 20th

⏰ 7:00 PM CT

📍 Bloomington (sent to those registered the day before)

🔗 Registration is required. RSVP here: iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/E...

Today’s Number of the Day: 60 million. That’s how many lives the measles vaccine has saved between 2000-2023.

Here’s the problem: RFK Jr. is spreading dangerous misinformation, making people doubt a vaccine that has saved millions.

The measles vaccine saves lives. Misinformation puts them at risk.

Meet Bob. Bob relies on Medicaid to cover his nursing home care. But Republicans are trying to gut Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

Here’s how you can fight back:
1. Call your member of Congress and demand they protect Medicaid
2. Share your story
3. Join local orgs

As we continue to fight the Republicans' proposal to gut Medicaid, I’m thinking of our nursing home workers like Angie who do the incredible work of taking care of our loved ones. You are the reason I’m in this fight! It's so important to continue advocating. Thank you for speaking out, Angie!

The Trump-Vance Admin’s cuts to the NIH could cost lives.

Cancer patients in clinical trials will lose access to critical treatments, dramatically reducing their chances of survival. Dr. Jakub Tolar, Dean of the University of Minnesota Medical School, breaks down the devastating impact.

As an OBGYN for more than 20 years, my message is simple: vaccines save lives.

Measles is one of the most contageous diseases in the world -- but it's also one of the most preventable. Vaccines keep our children safe from outbreaks.
