    1,000+ MN students are facing uncertainty with the closing of Argosy University’s Eagan campus. That’s why I’ve asked Secretary of Education to clearly articulate what steps are being taken to assist and communicate with affected students.

    This I’m remembering those who have fought to move the needle for women here in America and around the world. I’m thankful for those who came before us, and I’m working hard in Congress to create a better future for those who will come after us.

    HeadStart and other early learning experiences can be a huge game changer for children -- especially for Native American children from communities with historical trauma. When kids walk into school & feel confident they can succeed, it can make a difference for years to come.

    When it comes to public safety & justice, tribes face many challenges – rural, isolated areas with barely passable roads, insufficient staffing, condemned facilities, & communications equipment that is often incompatible with other law enforcement entities.

    H.R. 1 is a bold package of legislative reforms that will ensure clean & fair elections, fight back against big money in politics, & demand accountability from public officials. This is an incredible opportunity to restore the faith & function of American democracy.

    It’s imperative that the federal gov’t supports tribal efforts to build resiliency for the future – and that means ensuring funding for tribal communities to preserve their culture, natural resources, and economic development in the face of a changing climate.

    I’m glad Minnesota is joining the effort to block the Trump admin’s proposed domestic gag rule. Pushing out providers like Planned Parenthood from the Title X public health program risks threatening access to care for millions of people.

    The FCC’s repeal of protections is already changing the internet as we know it. Access to a free and open internet is power, and it’s time to give that power back to the people.
