61 years ago, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law, protecting the right to vote for all Americans. Today, President Trump and Republicans want to pass legislation to make it harder to vote. We can never stop defending the cornerstone of our democracy.

Primary election day is on Tuesday, August 11th! Whether you decide to vote early or vote on election day, be sure to make a plan and go vote! For info on how or where to vote visit, www.mnvotes.org.

Happy National Night Out! Thank you to the neighbors, volunteers, city staff, and first responders for making these events possible! Our communities are safer and more welcoming when folks come together to share space and connect!

Happy 236th Birthday to the United States Coast Guard! On August 4th, 1790, Congress commissioned the building of ten cutters to start the storied history of the USCG.

Republicans in Congress are failing the American people.

Thank you to the 600+ American and Canadian firefighters who are bravely fighting the wildfires in Northern Minnesota and Southern Ontario.

The new Hamline Midway library is more than a place to check out a book — it's a space where community grows, kids can explore, and adults can keep learning for life. It was a pleasure joining neighbors for the grand opening on Saturday!

Honored to be the keynote speaker at the Izaak Walton League of America 2026 National Convention today! I'm inspired by volunteers & advocates pushing to protect the Boundary Waters and restore the Mississippi River. Thank you for turning passion into action & safeguarding our treasured landscapes.

Today, the so-called Take Care of America’s Veterans Act will be brought to the House floor. I will stand with veteran organizations and vote no against this bill. This bill cuts critical care and benefits for those who have sacrificed through service answering the nation's call.

Republicans are planning to spend billions more taxpayer money for the unlawful Iran war while leaving less money for Americans who are struggling at home.

4x WNBA Champion. WNBA Hall of Fame inductee. WNBA record for playoff wins. And now: WNBA record for regular season wins. Congratulations, Cheryl Reeve! You make Lynx fans proud.

President Trump is making life more expensive for everyone and stripping away health care from 8 million Americans. Meanwhile, he's lining his pockets with the profits of shady cryptocurrency schemes.

This morning, I had the pleasure of joining the Saint Anthony Park community at one of Minnesota’s longest‑running Fourth of July parades as we celebrated the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding.   Happy Independence Day to all! #America250 🇺🇸

Exercise caution tomorrow if you choose to use fireworks as you celebrate America’s 250th!

It's hot out there today — dangerously hot. Drink water, stay in the shade, and check in on your neighbors!

President Trump wants to make it harder for you to vote instead of easier for you to buy a home.

President Trump’s EPA is proposing to give a free pass to polluters who incinerate plastic and contaminate the air we breathe. It’s unacceptable — and I’m joining my congressional Democratic colleagues to fight back.

Today, I joined our Rondo community to celebrate Juneteenth and honor a history of perseverance in the fight for justice, freedom, and opportunity. Congress must stand against efforts to weaken our democracy and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

It's a pleasure to welcome athletes arriving in Minnesota for the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games! I want to thank Textron for their incredible work to help over 3,000 athletes arrive here from every corner of the country by organizing the dove flights, the pilots, and the fuel.

Union Depot is hosting free Wednesday Yoga tonight at 5:30-6:30! Bring a yoga mat and join your neighbors for a midweek reset every Wednesday this summer. More info: bit.ly/4fRkPeL

Congratulations to the Mahtomedi boys baseball team on winning their second consecutive class AAA state title — Go Zephyrs!

Totally childish behavior by President Trump.

Americans are paying more for everything because of Donald Trump’s War in Iran and unconstitutional tariffs. And what does he have to say for himself?

Things have calmed down in Minnesota now that we no longer have an invasion of 4,000 ICE and Border Patrol agents banging on doors, shooting people, and pulling drivers out of their cars. But I haven't forgotten. I'm still fighting to protect our civil rights.

Minnesota leads the nation in free and fair elections. Our maps are balanced, our elections are secure, and every ballot cast in our nation-leading voter turnout is counted. Republicans have much to learn from Minnesota and should stop trying to change the rules to rig elections.

The stunning array of white graves blanketing Arlington National Cemetery reminds us of the collective sacrifice of generations of American service members. President Trump's arch would replace that view with a monument to his ego. I'm supporting Rep. Don Beyer's bill to block it.

Coming soon to the East Side: The newly-renovated Plaza del Sol — a food hall with six vendors, a commissary kitchen, a community space, an event center, and a business incubator. Glad to see great progress on this project, supported in part by a $1M grant I secured in 2022.

Thanks to the residents of Lexington Landing in Saint Paul for welcoming me into their home for a thoughtful discussion about what's happening here in Minnesota, the latest in Washington, and developments around the globe. Always grateful for the opportunity to listen.

President Trump promised to lower costs on day one, but he’s only rewarded himself. Now he’s building a White House fighting cage for his birthday, while you pay more for gas, groceries, health care, and utilities because of his Iran War, tariffs and Big Ugly Law.

It was a privilege to join the White Bear Lake community in honoring our nation’s service members this Memorial Day. Today, Minnesotans and others across this nation came together to remember our fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice so we can live in freedom and seek justice for all.
