23 years ago Minnesota lost one of its greatest champions.
I think about Paul Wellstone often, especially these last several months. He was a true fighter for Minnesotans.

“If we don't fight hard enough for the things we stand for, at some point we have to recognize that we don't really stand for them.”
— Paul Wellstone
Moral of the story: If you don’t want Trump to send the military into the streets of your city, have a tech bro billionaire call him.
Circling back to this…
@merkley.senate.gov embodies strength and determination.
He just spoke on the Senate floor for over 22 hours, standing up (both literally and figuratively!) for the American people. Well done, Jeff!
It takes courage to stand up for what’s right — something Republicans clearly don’t have.
Kudos to my friend Jeff for doing the damn thing!
This is really what it comes down to.
I'm holding the Senate floor to say HELL NO to Trump destroying our We the People government.

RFK Jr. said the Rural Health Transformation Program is the “biggest infusion of federal dollars into rural health care” in U.S. history. But rural areas will lose more in Medicaid cuts than they might gain from a new rural health program.

DHS says they “don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.”
But at least 170 Americans they’ve detained know that’s not true.
Don’t ignore their stories.
If Trump can detain citizens—including combat Veterans—for days without cause, no one is safe from his whims.

This Trump government shutdown is not like his last one.
That was about building a wall that Mexico was supposed to pay for.
This is about raising health care costs for millions of Americans.
It’s time to end the shutdown and fix the Republican-made health care crisis.
Wishing everyone in Minnesota and across the world a happy Diwali! May this festival of lights be full of joy and hope.
Seeing the White House torn apart is really emblematic of the times we’re in
The only people doing well right now seem to be AI executives, crypto bros and the Trump family.
