I appreciate Vice President Harris uplifting Native voices – Indigenous perspectives have been left out of these conversations for far too long.

Tribal leaders spoke, and we listened.
The Senate unanimously passed the Tribal Trust Land Homeownership Act, making it easier to buy a home on Tribal lands. Lack of housing is one of the most pressing issues in Indian Country, and this legislation is one step towards addressing it.
Congrats to all the Minnesota breweries that competed at the U.S. Beer Open Championships. The drama in Washington is only bearable knowing I have some great Minnesota beers waiting for me when I get home!
The Supreme Court faces a legitimacy crisis of their own creation – and because of their corruption. Congress needs to act.
Americans feel lonelier and more isolated than ever before. We have a plan to tackle that.
Glad to join you in this fight, Senator Murphy.
Nobody makes players better than the State of Hockey.
The answer to this crisis starts with a clean energy transition — always has, always will.
The Twin Cities has among the lowest inflation of any major city in the country *and* we just cracked the Top 5 for America’s Top States for Business.
Wall Street, Big Oil and Big Pharma have gotten enough of the government’s money – time to invest it in American families.
It works.
Our job is to protect families from bad actors, and that’s what I plan to do.

The desire to own a home and build wealth is so powerful for so many familiesthat these lenders knowingly mislead consumers and get them to sign one of these contracts.
Lenders target immigrant communities where families face barriers to getting a traditional mortgage.
Financial literacy, language and cultural barriers make families susceptible to signing these contracts assuming they’re protected.
Communities like Saint Cloud in my home state.
‘Contracts for deed’ target families that face barriers to obtaining a traditional mortgage.
They skirt consumer protection laws, so families get saddled with high fees and few protections if they fall on hard times.
What makes it even worse – they target communities of color.
Minnesota has a large and diverse East African community where families work hard to build a life in this country.
Stellar reporting uncovered abusive practices by lenders targeting my constituents.

Owning a home is part of the American dream – it’s a ticket to building wealth and getting your family on some financially solid ground.
But bad actors take advantage of Americans’ dreams of homeownership – especially in Black and Brown communities.
Let’s talk about it...
He’s endangering our national security because he doesn’t think the women who defend our freedom deserve their own – shameful.
For the first time in over 100 years, the Marine Corps won’t have a Senate-confirmed leader.
Why?
Because Senator Tommy Tuberville is blocking the nominee (along with hundreds of others) because of a Defense Department policy allowing women in the military access to abortion.
Drews, a member of the Leech Lake Band, developed Native Teaching Aids to teach the Ojibwe language, culture, history and imagery through games ranging from puzzles to board games.
Drews’ work helps to preserve and revitalize the Ojibwe language for future generations.
Tony Drews’ great-grandmother was forced into a boarding school where she was forbidden from speaking Ojibwe, her Indigenous language.
His father was beaten when he spoke Ojibwe in school.
Today, Drews creates games to keep the Ojibwe language alive.

The Red River Women's Clinic is a testament to our resiliency in the Midwest.
Republicans will keep trying to restrict our access to reproductive care, but we're still standing.
Minnesotans take care of one another – and that includes making sure women get the care they need.
Since reopening, they’ve seen a large rise in patient load. Minnesota is one of the few abortion havens in the Midwest, forcing women to travel hundreds of miles to get the care they need…
…and that’s just for those who can afford gas, childcare, time off, and a hotel.
