President Trump’s decision to eliminate over 1,300 positions at the State Department comes at a time when the world needs American leadership to be stronger, not weaker. America is most powerful when we fully employ the three Ds of national security – Development, Diplomacy, and Defense.

President Trump is illegally withholding $70 Million from Minnesota schools. This week, I led a letter to the White House demanding that this funding is released immediately. Shortchanging Minnesota schools doesn’t just harm students, it harms entire communities.
Community members have shared wonderful stories about how Brandon Skelton made them feel like they mattered. He will be missed by many. Thanks to the Pioneer Press for this beautiful tribute to his life.
Trump’s Big Ugly Bill delivers a tax break boon for billionaires, but sticks everyone else with the bill. Not only will thousands of Minnesotans lose their health care and food assistance, our energy bills will also go up.
The Big Ugly Bill rips away healthcare from millions of Americans to give tax breaks to giant corporations and the billionaires who run them.
Among the handouts for the top 1 percent: an absurd tax break allowing billionaires to write off their private jets. What a rip off!
SCAM ALERT: Despite a misleading email sent by the Social Security Administration, President Trump's Big Ugly Bill doesn’t remove taxes on Social Security. The President should take action to prevent scams, not spread them.
I’m saddened by the passing of Melvin Giles, better known around Rondo and Frogtown as the Bubble Man. His legacy of building positivity and peace continues to shine through this community gardens and neighborhood peace poles.
The devastating loss of life and damage from the flooding in Texas is heartbreaking. I'm grateful to first responders who took swift action to save lives and continue to search for survivors. Minnesotans stand with the people of Texas.
Thank you to Saint Anthony Park for inviting me to celebrate the 78th Anniversary of your Fourth of July Parade. Happy Independence Day to all!
Happy Fourth of July! Wishing everyone in Minnesota and across the nation a festive and safe celebration with community, friends, and family.

For 8+ hours, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social spoke to keep Republicans from jamming Trump's One Big, Ugly Bill through in the dead of night—forcing them to cast their votes in the light of day.
House Democrats’ commitment remains: We’ll keep pressing on for the American people, until victory is won.
Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a trillion-dollar handout for billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos – paid for in part by ripping away healthcare and nutrition assistance from millions of Americans.
I joined every Democrat in Congress in voting NO!
Minnesota’s evenly divided delegation could provide the four patriotic Republican votes needed to join Democrats to stop the Big Ugly Bill.
The Trump/Congressional Republican Big Ugly Bill will kick 173,268 Minnesotans off their health care so they can give giant tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires. I will vote NO!
I am horrified to learn about the disgusting attacks on Kafr Marlik in the West Bank. These are blatantly illegal attacks by Israeli settlers—under both international and Israeli law. They must stop. The Israeli government must meet their own standards and hold those accountable for their crimes.
Senate Republicans just passed $1 TRILLION in cuts to Medicaid and massive cuts to SNAP food assistance for families in their Big Ugly Bill--all to give tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires. Now it comes back to the House. I will vote NO!
I am saddened that my friend and former colleague, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy passed away yesterday. She was able to channel the immense pain of her own tragedy of gun violence into being a force who made our families & communities safer from gun violence.
Senate Republicans are rushing to make the Big Ugly Bill even uglier. President Trump is happy to gut Medicaid and SNAP to give away tax cuts for billionaires, just as long as he can get back to golfing by the 4th of July. I will vote no.
Bill Salisbury was a tremendous journalist and human being. Wherever Bill's assignments took him, he brought Minnesotans along with him through his astute reporting and keen insight. Thanks to Bill, generations of Minnesotans are better informed, and our democracy is stronger.
I believed he was unfit to serve in office then, as I still do now. But impeachment is a serious process. Today’s vote failed to follow that process. If Congress is to consider impeachment proceedings, we must do so methodically, not rush it through using a privileged motion without proper notice.
