    What happened with Cambridge Analytica wasn’t an accident. It was the exploitation of Facebook’s business model. This business model made Facebook lots of money. But it left users vulnerable to having their data taken. My remarks at Privacy Xchange here:

    “Lack of candor.” That’s one of the reasons AG Sessions used to justify his decision to fire former FBI Dep. Dir. Andrew McCabe. Ironic bc as you may recall, Jeff Sessions has demonstrated a lack of candor—under oath—about his own interactions w/ Russians.

    Tina Smith is a dedicated public servant who has worked tirelessly on behalf of Minnesotans. I spoke with her last night, and I know she'll be an effective U.S. senator who brings people together to get things done. I'll be following . Hope you do too.

    Today, I'll be sworn in to the United States Senate. I'm looking forward to continuing to be a fierce advocate for Minnesotans, and carrying on the progressive legacy of this seat. I hope you'll follow along here, because I'm ready to get to work.

    During my time in the Senate, I’ve fought hard to guard net neutrality, beat back media consolidation, and protect Americans’ fundamental right to privacy. I’m taking to the Senate floor shortly to talk about this work.

    Tina Smith will make an excellent United States Senator. She is a dedicated public servant who’s worked tirelessly on behalf of Minnesotans, and Governor Dayton couldn't have made a better choice for this job.

    Senator Franken is talking with his family at this time and plans to make an announcement in D.C. tomorrow. Any reports of a final decision are inaccurate.
