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.
I voted to impeach President Trump twice during his first term. I presided over the second impeachment proceeding during which the House of Representatives voted to impeach President Trump for attempting a coup and inciting an insurrection on the United States Congress.
The grief that Minnesotans have endured over the past nine days has been agonizing. As we come together as a community to heal, may we find comfort in the words of Melissa and Mark Hortman's children: Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear.
At the very least, the President owes an immediate explanation to the American people for why he has taken direct military action against Iran absent Congressional authorization.
The President publicly stated that there was a two-week window for diplomacy. It appears the President had no intention of honoring that public timeline. This decision by President Trump has now put U.S. forces in the region at grave risk of retaliation by Iran and its proxies.
I am shocked that President Trump made the decision to bomb three nuclear sites in Iran without authorization from Congress. I believe the President’s action to be unconstitutional because Iran did not pose an immediate or direct threat to the United States.
I’m honored to join with Cathy Wurzer and Eric Eskola on TPT Almanac tonight at 7:00 PM.

Today is World Refugee Day, a day to recommit to helping those most in need. As co-sponsor of the resolution recognizing world refugee day led by @reptedlieu.bsky.social, we are calling on the U.S., the richest nation on earth, to keep its arms open to those fleeing persecution, war, or worse.
Today I signed onto a bipartisan resolution to prohibit U.S. military involvement in Iran without Congressional authorization. The United States is not at war with Iran. Any offensive military action taken by the U.S. must receive a vote in Congress.
As I mourn the loss of Melissa and Mark Hortman, I’m inspired by the words of their adult children Sophia and Colin: “Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear.”
I am profoundly grateful for the local, state, and federal law enforcement officials who have tirelessly worked around the clock for the past 48 hours to track down the suspect and bring him to justice. Our communities are safer thanks to their efforts.
Reposted byCongresswoman Betty McCollum
Out of an abundance of caution my Department of Public Safety is recommending that people do not attend any political rallies today in Minnesota until the suspect is apprehended.
Minnesotans of all political backgrounds must unite to condemn this and all politically motivated acts of violence. In a democracy, we do not respond to acts of public policy with acts of violence motivated by extremism.
I am thankful to all Minnesota law enforcement personnel, especially those who are responding to the situation, which is still active.
As Dean of the Congressional Delegation, I have been in touch with my colleagues, who share my profound shock and deep sadness over this tragedy.
This is a shocking and heinous act of targeted political violence against elected officials. It was clearly intended to instill fear in our communities.
