I strongly condemn President Trump’s outrageous pardon of over a thousand criminal insurrectionists, including violent right-wing extremists from the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and Three Percenters who violently assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021.

So today, I'm re-introducing this critical legislation — not because I think Donald Trump will change his mind, but because we must never, ever give up this fight.
Some places are simply too precious to mine. mccollum.house.gov/media/press-...
But on the campaign trail, Donald Trump threatened to completely disregard the scientific evidence and allow toxic mining pollution to wreak havoc on the Boundary Waters. Project 2025 proposes revoking the 20-year mining ban. www.startribune.com/project-2025...
In 2023, the U.S. Forest Service conducted an extensive environmental assessment and concluded it was in the public interest to protect 225,000 acres of federal lands and lakes in the BWCA’s headwaters. Interior Secretary Haaland then issued a 20-year ban on new mineral leasing.
But this Northern Minnesota treasure is under threat.
A Chilean mining conglomerate has aggressively & relentlessly pursued mineral permits to mine this watershed for copper, which it sells to China to smelt. This has never been done safely. It would destroy the water forever.
The Boundary Waters contain indescribable natural wonders. Pitch-black midnight skies littered with stars and constellations; dense, untouched forests as far as the eye can see; water so pure you can literally drink it straight from the lake.
The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA) is a system of pristine lakes, forests, rivers, streams, and portage routes located entirely within the Superior National Forest.
Voyageurs National Park, situated to the northwest of the BWCA, is Minnesota's only national park.
Today, I’m re-introducing the Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act.
The BWCA is a national treasure that must be protected, but it's under dire threat from Donald Trump and Republicans who wish to allow toxic copper-sulfide mining in the region. 🧵
Seen at inauguration events: Elon Musk ($433.9 billion), Jeff Bezos ($239.4 billion), Mark Zuckerberg ($211.8 billion), Bernard Arnault ($180 billion), Rupert Murdoch ($22.2 billion), and another dozen billionaires, per @forbes.com.
Who do you think President Trump is fighting for?
Cecile Richards was one of America's fiercest advocates for reproductive freedom. Her leadership empowered millions of women to advocate for justice and equity.
As I mourn her loss, I'll honor her legacy by continuing our fight for equal rights and reproductive health autonomy.
After decades of advocacy from Tribal leaders, I commend President Biden for acting with compassion to commute the sentence of Leonard Peltier. We must acknowledge the injustice that he and many other Native Americans have experienced in our legal system. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/0...
Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his ambition to achieve the Beloved Community. It remains our sacred obligation to root out racism and discrimination in all its forms, and to unite our communities to see his vision through.
I’m glad to be in Minnesota today to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. with leaders from across the Twin Cities. Visit the link below to learn more about the events taking place today across the metro! www.twincities.com/2025/01/15/m...
