Last week, the U.S. Senate passed a devastating bill that will undo protections for the Boundary Waters. Listen to this feature on NPR's All Things Considered featuring Explorers Amy and Dave Freemans and @smith.senate.gov discussing what this means for the wilderness. www.npr.org/2026/04/18/n...
Newly approved mining in Minnesota may threaten waterways of a beloved nature preserve
Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota is filled with more than a thousand lakes and rivers. But a recent vote in congress to allow mining nearby could threaten the preserve's waterways.

The fight for the Boundary Waters isn’t over, it just looks a little different now. We will not give up. That would play right into their hands.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govApr 17(source)
Losing hope is exactly what they want us to do. While the vote against the Boundary Waters is fresh on our minds, the work continues.    Headed to Greater Minnesota now to keep up the fight. We have so much to do to tackle corporate greed in areas like housing and health care.

Since they’re abusing the Congressional Review Act to get around the filibuster, I am reserving some of my time so I can make closing remarks in the morning before the final vote. Maybe they’ll listen to reason after a night’s sleep. Stay tuned. Save the Boundary Waters.

70% of Minnesotans do NOT want copper nickel mining near the Boundary Waters. The Senate has a chance to do right by them by leaving the mining moratorium in place.

As soon as today, the US Senate will vote on a House resolution that allows copper mining by a Chilean company near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The Boundary Waters is the most-visited wilderness area in the country, and it cannot be replaced.
Tina Smith@smith.senate.govApr 13(source)
The Boundary Waters don’t just belong to Minnesotans. They’re the birthright of every single American. Why would we let a foreign mining company ruin them just so they can mine OUR resources, ship them off to China and enrich their shareholders?

The threat to the Boundary Waters isn’t just about Minnesota — the legislative gymnastics being thrust upon us to allow copper-nickel mining in this watershed would mean no public lands are ever truly protected. We would be opening Pandora’s box… for what? The profits of a foreign mining company?

From the guy who promised to “bring back American manufacturing” …the irony would be comical if it weren’t so frustrating

Trump, who has promoted "Buy America" policies and vowed to protect American steel, has secured tens of millions of dollars worth of donated foreign steel for his $400 million ballroom project, report @anaswanson.bsky.social and @lukebroadwater.bsky.social. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/u...

Can’t trust a word they say. They’re lying about what they’re doing in Minnesota and across the country. This is exactly why I’m not voting for a single penny for ICE or CBP without massive, agency-wide changes.
