The Republican plan to take away Medicaid would harm children, seniors, and families in Minnesota, ripping away their health care access and coverage.
I spoke with Jonathan Capehart about how Senate Democrats are fighting to protect Medicaid across the country.

Today, I joined the Minnesota Farmers Union for two town halls in Ogilvie and McGregor with MN Farmers Union President Wertish. I got to answer lots of good questions about the farm bill, the negative impacts of the across-the-board tariffs, and concerns about the administration’s actions.
It was great to join the Minnesota Institute of Horn of Africa Studies and the Minnesota Department of Military Affairs for an Iftar Dinner Celebration.
The evening was a reminder that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.
NEWS: @durbin.senate.gov, @cantwell.senate.gov, and I — along with over two dozen of our colleagues — called on President Trump to reverse his illegal firing of Commissioners Slaughter & Bedoya from the FTC.
This is about protecting consumers & the rule of law.
Small business owner uncertainty about the economy spiked to the second-highest level in more than 50 years.
The Administration's reckless actions have led to rising costs and created uncertainty — making it harder for small businesses and entrepreneurs to stay afloat.

This week, President Trump illegally fired two commissioners on the Federal Trade Commission.
This is an outrageous move that threatens the FTC's bipartisan work, which returned more than $330 million to consumers last year.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts: “Impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision."
CC: The White House and Congressional Republicans.
A federal judge just ruled that efforts by Elon Musk and DOGE to shut down the United States Agency for International Development “likely violated the Constitution in multiple ways.”
We’ll keep fighting for the rule of law and USAID, which helps American farmers feed the world & combats extremism.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration programs protect the Great Lakes, a natural treasure that provides drinking water to millions of Americans.
The firing of staff puts these programs at risk. My colleagues and I are working to get answers.
I visited Spring Grove Communications, which provides broadband, telephone, and cable in southeast Minnesota, to discuss how we can build out broadband across our state. I also visited the library and the Giants of the Earth Heritage Center.
Congratulations to the paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, and EMS leaders who were honored with the Minnesota Stars of Life Award tonight!
Our first responders are true heroes, and we owe them our deepest gratitude. I’m thankful for everything they do to keep Minnesotans safe!
I was in Wilmar with @smith.senate.gov for a discussion with ag leaders and turkey producers about how to combat avian flu and the uncertainty producers face with across-the-board tariffs.
My statment on the illegal firing of Federal Trade Commisoners Slaughter and Bedoya:
Right now, the care and benefits that our nation's veterans earned and deserve are at risk.
Today, @smith.senate.gov, @repangiecraig.bsky.social, and I stood with local advocates against the Administration's firing of VA staff, which would undo the progress made to expand & improve services.
Happy National Ag Day!
Minnesota and our nation's farmers and producers are a driving force in our economy, and I’m proud to advocate for them as Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture.
Together, we’ll ensure a strong future for our farmers, foresters, and producers.
Undercutting Medicaid won't lower health care costs — but it will jeopardize coverage for millions of people, including seniors and children.
1 in 5 Minnesotans have Medicaid — and it provides health care to more than half of all nursing home residents across our state.
I visited Senior Living at Watkins to speak with residents and answer their questions about the importance of protecting Medicaid.
I was in Rochester to discuss the importance of supporting NIH research and how it fuels life-saving medical innovation across our state. Medical research today leads to the cures of tomorrow.
I visited the State Veterans Cemetery in Preston today to pay my respects to our brave veterans.
We owe so much to those who have served and their sacrifices will never be forgotten.
This week I am meeting with Minnesotans across fourteen counties to hear ideas about what we can do to make rural Minnesota even stronger. From business owners impacted by tariffs to seniors, getting direct information from Minnesotans is key to my job.
