The only thing the Trump Tariffs will "liberate" is Americans’ money from their bank accounts.

Congresswoman Betty McCollum@mccollum.house.govApr 2(source)

"Groceries" is only an old-fashioned and beautiful term if you are an out-of-touch billionaire who does not buy them. Tariffs are taxes. Grocery prices will rise.

President Trump’s highest national security officials are showing a pattern of mishandling sensitive information. Personal email accounts are not allowed for official national security business and any government official found using them for this purpose must be held accountable.

Waltz and staff used Gmail for government communications, officials say

Trump’s national security adviser is trying to manage his way out of a crisis. But new revelations about his team’s operational security are piling up in the inbox.

That's why this week, I joined my fellow House Democrats on an amicus brief supporting a lawsuit against Musk & Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional dismantling of USAID.

Congresswoman Betty McCollum@mccollum.house.govApr 1(source)

Elon Musk is lying about USAID. USAID’s leadership around the world not only helps the hungry and those suffering under authoritarian regimes and disasters – It helps address problems before they reach our shores.

Today, I honored Gordy Kirk, who passed away on March 2nd, three weeks shy of his 102nd birthday. A proud member of Saint Paul’s Rondo neighborhood, Gordy was a World War II combat veteran who bravely served his country at a time when the ranks of our Armed Forces were segregated.

I extend my condolences to the families, friends, and fellow servicemembers of the U.S. Army soldiers who we lost during a training exercise in Lithuania. Our nation is grateful for their service.

3 U.S. Soldiers Found Dead in Lithuania After Their Vehicle Sank in a Swamp

The soldiers were in a vehicle that became trapped in a bog during a training mission last week. A fourth soldier was still missing.

Republicans in Congress have already given up their power to the executive, and now they're demanding the same from the judiciary. I will vote no on the ridiculous scheme to ban nationwide injunctions. We must maintain a nonpartisan bench and protect the separation of powers.

In a win for our community, a federal judge stopped Elon Musk and President Trump from illegally canceling teacher training grants for UMN and St. Thomas University. The President cannot illegally take away scholarships to give away massive tax cuts to Elon Musk and his billionaire megadonors.

UMN, St. Thomas get teacher training grants back pending appeal

Following a court order from a federal judge in Maryland, the U.S. Department of Education reinstated teacher training grants this week to the University of Minnesota and the University of St. Thomas.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred. As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

In a win for consumers, a federal Judge halted the dismantling of the CFPB over the weekend. I joined over 200 House Democrats in an amicus brief for this very case to defend CFPB. If Donald Trump wants to avoid courts ruling against him, he should stop doing illegal things.

Federal judge blocks Trump from dismantling Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

A federal judge has agreed to block the Trump administration from dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. U.S.

Eid Mubarak! As the holy month of Ramadan draws to a close, I’m wishing Muslims in Minnesota and around the globe a joyous and peaceful #EidAlFitr.

On this National Vietnam War Veterans Day, let us honor, remember, and extend our gratitude to all who served our nation during the Vietnam War Era.

President Trump's tariffs have caused turmoil and unpredictability in the U.S. economy: 🔻 Consumer confidence is at a 12-year low 🔻 1 in 4 U.S. companies has scaled back hiring plans 🔻 Inflation has increased since Trump took office 🔻 Unemployment rose to 4.1% in February

President Trump is letting the richest man in the world destroy Social Security to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Elon Musk’s illegal cuts to the Social Security Administration are pushing the system to a breaking point and will hurt Minnesotans.

Burcum: Social Security changes will go ‘very very badly’

A commendably blunt Sen. Amy Klobuchar sounds the alarm about staff reductions and changes impacting Social Security enrollment.

Congresswoman Betty McCollum@mccollum.house.govMar 26(source)

President Trump & House Republicans are moving forward on plans to cut Medicaid so they can give TRILLIONS in tax cuts to Elon Musk and Trump’s billionaire donors. Last weekend I heard from Minnesota health leaders how our children would be impacted by cuts to their health care.

The Supreme Court's 7 to 2 decision in support of these Biden gun safety protections reflects the serious threat that ghost guns pose to our communities.

Supreme Court allows Biden-era regulations for hard-to-trace ghost guns

The Supreme Court ruling affects ghost guns, the largely untraceable firearms used in a growing number of crimes over the past decade.

Congresswoman Betty McCollum@mccollum.house.govMar 26(source)

Everyone on the Signal chat must be held fully accountable, including the other 18 senior Trump Administration officials who had a duty to intervene immediately. They failed to do that. Republicans in Congress must immediately issue subpoenas, hold hearings, and investigate this reckless conduct.

Congresswoman Betty McCollum@mccollum.house.govMar 26(source)

If anyone else in the military did what Secretary Hegseth did, they would be fired immediately, could be dishonorably discharged, and certainly would lose their security clearance. We cannot have one set of rules for the Secretary of Defense and another set of rules for everyone else.

Congresswoman Betty McCollum@mccollum.house.govMar 26(source)

The Secretary of Defense used a non-secure, commercial messaging app to discuss the timeline of an impending military operation. This information in the hands of adversaries would certainly put American lives at risk.
