Dressed in vibrant colors to honor his extraordinary life, we gathered today to mourn the tragic loss of Fletcher Merkel. His dad Jesse said Fletcher was “all gas pedal, and no brake,” living life to the fullest. We stand with his family and the entire Annunciation community.

Congressional Republicans made a choice in their Big Beautiful Betrayal: Each millionaire's tax break is paid for by taking health insurance away from four Americans.
It’s not just wrong, it’s cruel. The tax code shouldn’t prioritize the wealthy over working Americans.
@umnduluth.bsky.social Chancellor Nies is a true Minnesotan. He grew up in Hutchinson, earned his bachelors’ degree at the University of St. Thomas, and worked at the 3M plant in Hutchinson.
He is coming full circle now that he is back home leading this great university.
Just 22,000 jobs were created last month. President Trump: you can’t fire your way out of this mess.

The through line between the administration’s tariff and vaccine policies: Whether it’s doctors or small business owners, they don’t listen to the American people.
Tariffs are a $2,400 tax on every American family. Courts agree: Trump cannot impose across-the-board tariffs.
People with disabilities deserve opportunities to strengthen their economic independence.
At Fraser, I spoke about how my bipartisan bill, originally led by my friend Senator Bob Casey would empower people with disabilities to save for their future.
Millions of Americans without a stable home internet connection, especially in rural areas, rely on hotspots to access telemedicine, complete their homework, or apply for jobs.
The FCC is attempting to take away those hotspots—worsening the digital divide.
Millions of students and seniors depend on hotspots and school bus Wi-Fi for homework and tele-health services.
Now the FCC is moving to strip that connectivity away while doing nothing to make broadband more affordable. 🧵

Trump promised to lower the cost of prescriptions, but now he’s talking about putting a 200% tariff tax on pharmaceuticals.
Even a 25% tariff would raise Rx prices by 10-14%. We need to make medicine more affordable, not put it more out of reach.

And the song… ❤️
Father of Annunciation victim Fletcher Merkel calls into KDWB radio
t.co/xpZsDBNS0S
It is shocking to hear a judicial nominee unable to answer a simple question: Does the President have the right to do anything he wants?
I just spoke on the floor to honor the victims of the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church. Every day since that horrific morning we’ve heard the stories of the heroes among us who saved lives. Congress must show courage equal to theirs by passing gun safety legislation.
For the sixth straight month, U.S. manufacturing activity shrank in August.
One manufacturer said they’re just trying to survive.
Didn’t the President say his tariffs would bring those jobs back to America and boost domestic manufacturing? 🧐

Looking forward to tuning in to see St. Paul native Tommy Brennan on this season of SNL!

According to a Republican pollster: 83% of voters—including 73% of Trump voters—want to extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced Premium Tax Credits.
If Republicans in Congress fail to protect these health care credits, it will raise costs for over 20 million Americans.
Parents are seeing increased prices for back-to-school essentials due to Trump’s tariffs.
We should not make it harder for parents to buy school supplies for their kids with tariff taxes.
Good News: For decades, C-SPAN has connected Congress with the American people, providing the public with a front-row seat to see their government at work.
Glad to see YouTube and Hulu listened to Chuck Grassley and me and are taking the step to carry C-SPAN’s live coverage!
Trump’s tariffs are hitting families hard, raising prices on back-to-school essentials like clothes and shoes. At the checkout, you're paying the price.
It is no wonder the vast majority of Americans oppose these tariff taxes.
Labor Day is a time to honor the promise that hard work should mean a better life. Grateful today and every day for the workers and unions who move our country forward.
Congratulations to my extraordinary state office staff member Jasmine and her fiancé, Sosa, on their engagement and upcoming wedding with LOTS of family!
