Growing up in a small rural town, I didn’t see many people like me – and I didn’t come out to my family until college – so I know why this day is important to so many. Happy National Coming Out Day. Let’s build a country where everyone can live with dignity.

It’s a damn shame that Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans forced a government shutdown so they could kick Minnesotans off their health insurance – that’s not leadership, it's dereliction of duty.

This President’s trade policy is decimating our family farmers. It was never America first for Donald Trump; it has always been about only him – and once again, he’s leaving hardworking Americans behind.

Arkansas soybean farmer: I want trade, not aid. I need a place to sell this stuff. I can work hard enough and make a product. They've painted us in a corner with this China deal and China not buying soybeans. They've tore a market in half.

I’m honored to have the support of so many Minnesotans who are joining our movement. We’re showing up everywhere statewide, listening to folks and building a campaign that’s ready to keep Minnesota’s Senate seat blue next November.

It was an honor to be at the 11th annual FDR dinner last night in Rochester. I believe to my core that our Democracy, our country and the hopes and dreams of millions of Minnesotans are worth fighting for.

It was great to tour Hibbing High School this weekend. I know firsthand that the education of our young people is one of the best investments we can make as a nation. Hibbing celebrated the school's 100th anniversary last year – a remarkable school and community.

Grateful to meet with people in Hibbing to discuss how we’re fighting back and what it’s going to take to hold this U.S. Senate seat!

Folks want to know one thing: who are you fighting for? I’m fighting for the millions of Minnesotans who want their elected leaders to stand up to this administration. Thank you to everyone in Brainerd who came out today!

Rather than negotiate with Democrats who want to stop this – Republicans forced a government shutdown because they’re more than okay leaving Minnesotans behind.

Nearly one million Minnesotans about to shop for health care will see big rate increases

Those shopping for Medicare Advantage plans, or through the MNSURE marketplace, will see increases between 14-22%. And Expiring tax credits could add to the pain.

Look at your health care costs: Trump and Republicans forced a government shutdown because we are trying to stop them from jacking up the cost of health care for millions of Americans.

This is devastating to the Americans who rely on paper checks for their hard-earned benefits. This administration once again is making a decision that harms Americans.

My Republican colleagues canceled votes and didn’t show up for work. The American people deserve better.

Don’t cave. We have to care more about our Democracy than decorum. We owe it to America and the thousands of Minnesotans being hurt by this disaster of an administration.

It’s the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party for a reason. Great to be at the Farmer-Labor picnic with so many DFLers!

How about you reverse the tariffs causing the pain in the first place?

Donald Trump is leaving people poorer and hungrier. Not tracking food insecurity doesn’t make it go away. This is shameful and totally on brand for this Trump administration.

USDA cancels survey tracking how many Americans struggle to get enough food

The Department of Agriculture said it will end a longstanding annual food insecurity survey. Experts say the move will obscure the effects of recent changes that will lead to people losing food aid.

It was great to see so many friendly faces at the DFL LGBTQ Caucus Fundraiser last night – especially special guest LGBTQ civil rights advocate Brandon Wolf. The caucus is supporting some great candidates up and down the ballot that could use your help!
