The chaos and back-and-forth Donald Trump is putting on our government employees is unacceptable. It’s costing them and their families reliable healthcare, and they deserve so much better than this. npr.org/2025/04/25/nx-…

A 2-year-old US citizen was deported with no meaningful process, and the courts say they don't know why. This is abhorrent, and we cannot allow it to continue.npr.org/2025/04/26/nx-…

I went up to St. Joseph to speak with DFLers at the SD 13 Dinner. They’re fired up, fed up, and ready to show up and get to work building a better country for all of us.

Over the weekend, my hometown of Aguadilla, PR was honored at the Florida Puerto Rican Parade and Festival. It was so special to be there with Aguadilla Mayor Julio Roldán Concepción and Rep. Darren Soto to celebrate where I come from.

Trump's tariffs are going to kill so many of our small businesses, and we can't allow it. They're fighting back, but we have to support them and demand Congress stand up to Trump's trade war. kare11.com/article/news/l…

The SAVE Act passed the House, and it's awaiting a vote in the Senate. This is a dangerous, unnecessary bill that will make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote.

In Becker Co. with a great group of DFLers (in this wonderfully decorated garage) talking to them about how we can build a better future for everyone. No matter what's happening in DC, the opinion that matters most to me is that of the people of MN - and that will never change.

Thanks to the CD7 DFL for having me at their convention this weekend! They’re worried about where our country is headed, fed up with what they’re seeing in Washington, and ready to work together for a better future for everyone.

Yesterday I joined the Rotary Club at Matter in St. Louis Park for a service project with visiting Ukrainian doctors. Edina Mayor Jim Hovland greeted a Ukrainian combat medic—an inspiring reminder of service, resilience, and global community.

I’m running for Senate because parents—mothers and caregivers alike—deserve leaders who put families first. From education to opportunity, I’m fighting for a future where every child can thrive and every family has a fair shot. Let’s build it together.

Wildfires up north are a sobering reminder of how quickly conditions can change. We're deeply grateful to the first responders working to contain the flames and protect northern Minnesota’s communities, forests, and wildlife. Stay safe and informed. startribune.com/mn-wildfires-s…

I launched my campaign for the U.S. Senate because I believe leadership is about showing up — listening, learning, and taking action. Over the past months, I’ve connected with Minnesotans across the state: on farms, in coffee shops, at protests, and in small businesses. What I

I am devastated and heartbroken. The tragic, senseless act of violence that took the lives of my dear friend and colleague, Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, and her beloved husband, Mark, has shaken me to my core. I can hardly find the words to express the pain of this loss.
