The dangers of fentanyl have reached every corner of the US & bold action is needed to keep our communities safe.
In Congress, I’ll keep fighting to make sure law enforcement has the tools to combat this crisis & we expand access to addiction treatment.

Social Security and Medicare are our promise to American seniors: if you work hard and play by the rules, you deserve to retire with dignity.
I’ll fight every GOP attempt to weaken those programs, because it’s important we keep our promises.

When we passed the Inflation Reduction Act, we gave Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices for the first time in history. What does that mean?
Lower prescription prices for our seniors and lower deficits for the United States.
That’s a big deal.

✅The U.S. unemployment rate is at 3.4% – the lowest since 1969
✅Wages are up 4%
✅We added 517,000 new jobs in January
I’ll keep working to bring costs down and keep our economy strong.

Our rural communities keep Minnesota running.
That’s why my MN colleague & I worked across the aisle to introduce the bipartisan Investing in Rural Manufacturing Act to ensure our rural businesses have the support they need to grow & thrive.

Minnesotans sent me to Congress to fight to reform Washington, because our constituents should feel confident they are – and will always be – their representatives’ #1 priority.
Step #1: my bill to ban Members of Congress from owning and trading stocks

Your ability to access health care shouldn’t depend on the state you live in.
Today, I helped reintroduce the Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act, to guarantee the right to access abortion care in all 50 states & protect the right to travel to access that care.

Members of Congress get a new pin every two years to wear in the Capitol – this is the Member pin for the 118th Congress.
I don’t know about you, but I think this pin could use a little more purple….. #skol

The US is seeing a catastrophic rise in fentanyl overdoses. It’s critical that Congress understands all the issues & provides law enforcement with the resources needed to be part of solving this crisis.
At today’s committee, I discussed how we can best do that.

We know tapping the power of America’s biofuel producers & our family farmers is key to increasing US energy independence and lowering gas prices.
At today’s hearing, I joined my colleagues to discuss the benefits of expanding biofuel production here at home.

Catalytic converter and auto thefts are on the rise in MN & local law enforcement needs more support.
That’s why I’m working to pass the bipartisan Preventing Auto Recycling Theft Act so MN law enforcement can effectively combat these crimes.

I’m disappointed in ’s decision to close their sorting facility in Shakopee, and I’ll do everything in my power to ensure they keep their word about finding new jobs for those impacted by this decision.
We need more answers from Amazon, and I’ll be pushing to get them.

I’m honored to be named to the Energy & Commerce Committee. Last Congress, we made historic strides to lower health care costs – capping insulin copays, allowing Medicare to negotiate & cracking down on Big Pharma. I look forward to building on that progress for #MN02.

The video of the brutal beating of Tyre Nichols is horrific. My heart is with everyone who knew and loved him – all those who are grieving the tragic loss of their beloved son, brother, father and friend. Those responsible for Tyre’s death must be held accountable.

This is especially horrifying today – Holocaust Remembrance Day.
My thoughts are with the people of Israel during this time.
I will do everything in my power as a Member of Congress to support Israel and hold those responsible for these attacks accountable.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember all those who lost their lives and lost their loved ones during the Holocaust. Today and every day, we must continue to fight against all forms of anti-semitism & hate and continue our work to ensure freedom & dignity for all. #NeverAgain

On Dec. 30, I wrote to Postmaster General Louis DeJoy about the urgent need to improve mail delivery in #MN02 – and I’ve heard nothing back.
Today, I’m launching a survey to hear how mail deliveries are impacting you, and I’ll be sending your stories directly to DeJoy.
