Trump Needs Be Reined In
Hello, What’s happening in Minnesota and cities across the country under Trump and Kristi Noem is horrifying. First, ICE and DHS agents have been threatening and assaulting people in their workplaces, families on their way to day care, and students outside their schools for months. And now, American citizens are getting murdered in the streets. This administration’s violent rampage is out of control. It’s clear that ICE is operating with no accountability or oversight, and I am just as … Continue Reading

We Need to Lower Costs, Save Health Care, and Advance Clean Energy
Hello, It was another busy week back in Washington - and most of my time was spent pushing back against the Republican majority’s agenda that does nothing to save health care or lower costs for the American people and instead just gives more handouts to billionaires. Donald Trump might be saying the affordability crisis is a hoax - but the rest of us know that’s just not true. The holiday season may be here, but I’m not taking my foot off the gas to deliver for our community and fight for … Continue Reading

Back in Washington to Fight for You
Hello, Trump’s shutdown - the longest one in U.S. history - is finally over. I headed back to Washington this week, ready to hit the ground running to lower costs, restore programs, and save affordable health care. But despite overwhelming cries from the American people to get that accomplished, Republicans didn’t put forward a single bill to lower the cost of living for hard working people. Their policies have driven up the cost of health care, groceries, and energy bills and continue to … Continue Reading

Trump is Stripping Food Assistance from Families
Hello, It’s been a month since Republicans shut down the government instead of negotiating with Democrats to save health care. Now, the latest pawn in their diabolical games is stripping away food assistance from millions of Americans. Nearly 42 million Americans depend on SNAP to feed their families every day, including over 28,000 households in our district alone - and this food assistance is hours away from running out because of Republicans’ cruel and reckless policy decisions. TRUMP IS … Continue Reading

Day 10 – Fighting to End the Republican Shutdown
Hello, It’s been over a week since Republicans chose to shut down the government instead of working with Democrats to save health care - and it’s already cost the country $1.2 billion. With no end in sight, the shutdown is spreading chaos across the country. What’s happening right now: Republicans currently control the House, Senate, and White House - they are in power, and they are responsible for this government shutdown. Instead of returning to Washington to address this crisis, they … Continue Reading

I’m Fighting to Keep the Government Open and Protect Your Health Care
You may have heard about the potential for health insurance premiums to rise dramatically at the end of this year. This is an urgent priority for me and it is the main reason my Democratic colleagues and I voted against a Republican short-term government funding bill last week. If Congress fails to act, thousands of families in my district and millions nationwide are just weeks away from massive increases in their health premiums because of cuts that were used to pay for huge billionaire tax … Continue Reading

Why is This Administration Attacking Firefighters? How I’m Standing Up for Our Heroes
Hello, Wildfire season is here - frankly, it almost never ends these days. Climate change is undeniably fueling these growing disasters, and communities are being destroyed, forests are being wiped out, and first responders are facing long-term health consequences. There is a lot on the line, and the federal government needs to step up. But Trump and House Republicans are pushing us in the opposite direction, and I find their treatment of our brave first responders deeply disturbing. Just the … Continue Reading

Pushing Back Against Trump’s One Big, Ugly Law
Hello, I’ve returned to Washington D.C. this week after House Republicans passed Donald Trump’s One Big, Ugly Law - and I, like many of you, am still reeling from the fallout. This sweeping piece of legislation, signed on July 4, 2025, has sparked chaos and confusion across the country as healthcare, food assistance, and our economy have all been thrown on the chopping block. And now, just two weeks later, people are already facing the consequences, while billionaires and big corporations … Continue Reading

Pushing Back Against Trump’s Reckless Rampage
Hello, Over the last few weeks, President Trump and House Republicans have recklessly ramped up their assault on democracy. Between illegally calling in the National Guard to break up protests in California and advancing the most destructive congressional budget in recent history, their betrayal of the American people is deeply alarming. Trump’s big, ugly boondoggle - masked as a “cost-saving” budget bill - will devastate Americans across the country. Their congressional schemes will cut … Continue Reading

Reflecting on Trump’s Disastrous Address to Congress
Hello, This week, President Trump addressed Congress with unfettered hubris and narrow mindedness to deliver what I felt was one of the most disparaging and divisive speeches I’ve ever heard in this institution. His performance and his words may have left many of you feeling troubled, anxious, or angry - and trust me, I’m right there with you. Instead of using his platform to address the countless economic challenges facing Americans, Trump spent nearly two hours promoting his reckless, … Continue Reading

Fighting Back Against Unelected Billionaires’ Abuse of Power
Hello, I know so many of us are concerned about how Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE hackers are ransacking their way through the government, unlawfully gaining unfettered access to Americans’ private information and gutting programs people depend on. As Republicans work to appease billionaires like Musk who financed their campaigns and ignore Trump’s blatant abuses of power - I am doing everything I can to fight back. So far, they’ve made their way into multiple agencies and are wreaking … Continue Reading

Please Report How Illegal Federal Funding Freeze Will Impact You
Hello,Like many of you, I am deeply disturbed and concerned by President Trump’s reckless avalanche of actions over the past two weeks. Among other things, he has issued executive orders that exceed his legal authority and has brought chaos and panic to millions of Americans by threatening to bypass Congress and unilaterally “freeze” funding for scores of programs - including funding that communities rely on to feed and house struggling families, defend against wildfires, research cures for … Continue Reading
