When given a level playing field, our farmers produce the most abundant food supply in the world.

They shouldn’t be locked out of markets and thrust into chaos because the President decided to tweet.

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

Trump just won’t release it.

440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

This incredible team is going to make paid family leave a reality for all Minnesota families starting January 1.

At least 4,900 Minnesotans are at risk of being pushed to the streets because of Trump’s cuts to housing - children, seniors, veterans.

In Minnesota, we’ll do everything we can to stand up for our neighbors in need, but this decision will be devastating.

I expect my Republican colleagues to attack me in an election year, but to actively cover up fraud in an attempt to further a political agenda is beyond the pale.

This needs to be resolved immediately.
