Elon Musk and Donald Trump gutting the FDA will mean fewer tools to prevent toxic health threats to consumers. Consumers deserve protections, which is why I’ve worked with Saint Paul’s Beautywell Project to highlight harmful poisons used in skin lighteners and other products.

President Trump's pressure plan for Ukraine would bring false peace. This week in @startribune.com, I explain why forcing Ukraine into a peace deal on Putin’s terms would have serious long-term consequences for the national security of Ukraine, Europe, and the United States. Read for free here:
Catholics and people of faith all around the world welcome the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, whose message of peace inspires us to build bridges and show love to our neighbors.
Starting May 7, you can't fly domestically with only a standard driver's license. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll need in order to get a REAL ID:
📩 Two proofs of residency
🛂 Passport or Birth Certificate
🪪 Social Security Card

During the first 100 days of his presidency, the American people filed more than 220 legal challenges to Donald Trump’s unlawful and unconstitutional actions, and more than 131 court orders have halted the administration's illegal actions.
We're fighting back — and we're winning.
Does your ID have a star? If not, you might want to get a REAL ID soon! A REAL ID, Enhanced Drivers License, or passport are required IDs to fly domestically or enter certain federal buildings beginning May 7th.
My grandmother was able to earn family-supporting wages and benefits as a union member working at this plant. The loss of this long-time employer is incredibly sad, and another casualty of the growing economic chaos being stoked by Trump.
Today is National Apprenticeship Day! I’m a strong supporter of Minnesota’s 500+ registered apprenticeship programs that provide essential job training and pathways to rewarding careers with good wages helping our state build and compete in the 21st Century economy.
I recently joined my fellow Democrats on a letter to Secretary Rubio demanding answers about the unlawful arrest and detention of Mohsen Mahdawi. His release today shows that our pressure on the Trump Administration in public and in court is working.
President Trump has chosen to surround himself with more than a dozen billionaire advisors in the White House, so it should come as no surprise that he’s putting the interests of Elon Musk and his mega-donors over the needs of middle class families.
Trump’s chaotic tariff wars are growing the trade deficit – which has never been higher – despite his promises to eliminate it.
The S&P 500 is DOWN 7.3%, threatening Americans’ retirement savings. Consumer sentiment is DROPPING lower than it was during the COVID-19 pandemic or the Great Recession.
🧵: In just 100 days, Donald Trump’s actions are proving to be disastrous for Americans’ economic security.
Three short months ago, our economy was GROWING at 2.4%. Under Trump, it’s SHRINKING by a rate of 0.3% — the first contraction in three years.
I’m excited to help bring the incredible innovation made possible by BioMADE to Minnesota. Working together with @governorwalz.mn.gov, we’re delivering great jobs, breakthrough manufacturing, and extraordinary economic opportunities all made possible through public investment.
As a global leader in agriculture and with a skilled workforce second to none, we’re bringing the innovative manufacturing jobs of the future to Minnesota.
Grateful to the leadership of @mccollum.house.gov in getting this across the finish line.

Today we commemorate the Six Triple Eight, the only Black, all-female unit to serve in Europe during World War Two, with a Congressional Gold Medal ceremony in the Capitol.
I was lucky enough to meet a few family members before the event. Thank you to those who served.
Since President Trump took office 100 days ago, he has illegally blocked over $430 billion for Americans’ food and heating assistance, health care, education, public safety, and more.
@democrats-appropriations.house.gov are fighting back and keeping tabs. Learn more: t.co/JGBbG838xF.
Your actions are making a difference. With your help, Democrats are holding this administration accountable and winning.
