Today is World Refugee Day, a day to recommit to helping those in most need. As co-sponsor of the resolution recognizing world refugee day led by @reptedlieu, we call on the U.S., the richest nation on earth, to keep its arms open to those fleeing persecution, war, or worse.

I am shocked that President Trump made the decision to bomb three nuclear sites in Iran without authorization from Congress. I believe the President’s action to be unconstitutional because Iran did not pose an immediate or direct threat to the United States. The President

The grief that Minnesotans have endured over the past nine days has been agonizing. As we come together as a community to heal, may we find comfort in the words of Melissa and Mark Hortman's children: Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear.

Last night, the Minnesota Delegation led the House of Representatives in a moment of silence to honor Melissa and Mark Hortman. Amid this painful tragedy, Republicans and Democrats must continue to stand together to sharply rebuke political violence in all forms.

It was an honor be on Almanac with @AmyKlobuchar to remember Speaker Hortman’s career improving the lives of Minnesotans. Melissa knew how to lead, but more importantly she knew how to listen, work across the aisle, and treat others with dignity & respect.

Bill Salisbury was a tremendous journalist and human being. Wherever Bill's assignments took him, he brought Minnesotans along with him through his astute reporting and keen insight. Thanks to Bill, generations of Minnesotans are better informed, and our democracy is stronger.

Senate Republicans are rushing to make the Big Ugly Bill even uglier. President Trump is happy to gut Medicaid and SNAP to give away tax cuts for billionaires, just as long as he can get back to golfing by the 4th of July. I will vote no.

I am saddened that my friend and former colleague, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy passed away yesterday. She was able to channel the immense pain of her own tragedy of gun violence into being a force who made our families & communities safer from gun violence. nytimes.com/2025/06/26/nyr…

Senate Republicans just passed $1 TRILLION in cuts to Medicaid and massive cuts to SNAP food assistance for families in their Big Ugly Bill--all to give tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires. Now it comes back to the House. I will vote NO!

I am horrified to learn about the disgusting attacks on the Palestinian village of Kafr Marlik in the West Bank. These are blatantly illegal attacks by Israeli settlers—under both international and Israeli law. They must stop. The Israeli government must meet their own standards

The Trump/Congressional Republican Big Ugly Bill will kick 173,268 Minnesotans off their health care so they can give giant tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires. I will vote NO!

Minnesota’s evenly divided delegation could provide the four patriotic Republican votes needed to join Democrats to stop the Big Ugly Bill.

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a trillion-dollar handout for billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos – paid for in part by ripping away healthcare and nutrition assistance from millions of Americans. I joined every Democrat in Congress by voting NO!
