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.

The Department of Defense specifically prohibits DoD personnel from using Signal to share non-public information.
Secretary Hegseth shared detailed information in the Signal chat about a forthcoming military strike — a clear and obvious violation of his own department's policy.
It’s Equal Pay Day – putting a spotlight on the growing pay gap for women in our nation. On average, women make 75 cents to every dollar their male peers earn. We’re heading in the wrong direction. It’s time to correct course.
The House has a Constitutional duty to conduct swift and serious investigations into the dangerous Signal security breach caused by top Trump national security officials. Everyone responsible must be held fully accountable.
Republicans controlling the House and Senate are giving a blank check to Elon Musk and President Trump. But they’re losing in court: 130 lawsuits have been filed against their illegal actions. Democrats have already won 50 orders blocking these violations.
This shocking story shows how the highest-ranking Trump administration officials are violating national security protocols designed to protect our nation. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
On time. Under budget.
Starting today, the Gold Line will serve as a vital link for the future of the East Metro and our entire region, connecting Minnesotans to jobs, schools, medical appointments, shopping, and community activities.
The Gold Line is open!
It was a privilege to honor Minnesota Vietnam War Era veterans this morning with a Congressional pin presentation in recognition of their service. On behalf of a grateful nation, I thank all of Minnesota’s brave veterans for serving our country honorably.
President Trump’s executive order dismantling the Department of Education undercuts America’s greatest strength – our children and the promise of America’s future. This action is not only illegal, it threatens America’s ability to build a future workforce to compete in the global economy.
President Trump needs to quit his bombastic rhetoric and work to return Israel and Hamas to the negotiating table to restore the ceasefire so that the violence will cease and the remaining hostages can be returned home safely.
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s unilateral decision to end the ceasefire and resume Israeli military activity in Gaza is outrageous. The civilian casualties from these new Israeli strikes have been appalling. www.bbc.com/news/article...
Thanks to Episcopal Homes in Saint Paul for hosting me for a town hall this afternoon.
Minnesota’s seniors expect Congress to protect, not cut Medicaid, Medicare, or Social Security.

Cuts to Medicaid are cuts to people.
I visited Gillette Children's this morning to speak with President & CEO Barbara Joers about the need to protect Medicaid for Minnesota's families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities.
Congratulations to Todd Hurley on being named Mr. Pat of the 2025 Saint Paul St. Patrick’s Day parade! Wishing a cheerful day full of luck and laughter with family and friends to all those celebrating in Minnesota.

I’m deeply disappointed in Senate Democratic leadership for allowing this bill to pass. The full-year continuing resolution for Fiscal Year 2025 is the greatest transfer of federal spending authority from the Congress to the White House that I have ever seen.
The voices of the American people must be heard. Leader Schumer and Senate Democrats must reject Republicans' dangerous government funding bill.
