You aren’t the problem; monopolies are.

My fave part from today's @latimes "The Times" ep is when @AugustBrown uses Taylor Swift's catalog to explain why #Swifties got political. Other fave: when @amyklobuchar said "Ticketmaster: Big time monopoly; every measure of the word." Listen here: link.chtbl.com/RwrxUYUz

I’m never going to forget the shattered glass on the floor of the Capitol or the spray paint on the walls. But I will also remember walking at 3 a.m. to affirm the people’s will and certify the election. We must pass the Electoral Count Reform Act.

It’s been ten years since Sandy Hook. Ten years of families missing their children, ten years of more tragedies and ten years of working to pass gun safety reforms. The next step is clear: ban assault weapons.

There is no getting around it: gas prices are lower than they were but still too high. If we want to keep costs down, we can lift the ban on year-round 15% ethanol fuel. It’ll support our farmers and cut consumers a break at the pump. I’ve got a bipartisan bill to get it done.

Congress just passed our bill to name a federal building after Paul Wellstone. He believed that government should improve people’s lives, and now his name will be on a building where Minnesotans come together to get help with passports and other resources they need.

We’ve confirmed over 95 of Biden’s judicial nominees. This is a big deal. They’ll bring knowledge,  experience, and a commitment to equal justice under law to the courts for decades to come.

With the holidays coming up and people shopping for gifts, it’s a great reminder of how important our supply chains are. In 2022 we passed a bill to make sure Americans businesses can get their goods to market and reduce congestion at our ports, and I’m not stopping there.

A top priority for Congress before the end of the year should be passing the Electoral Count Reform Act. We have a duty to protect our democracy.

2022 will be remembered for a lot of things, but one I’m proud of is passing historic climate legislation. That’s going to matter for generations to come.

I’m a big fan of Dr. Fauci and how he’s calmly guided our country through crisis. Re Musk tweet? Courting vaccine-deniers doesn’t seem like a smart business strategy, but the issue is this: could you just leave a good man alone in your seemingly endless quest for attention?

This was the year we finally started allowing Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription costs. That means savings for seniors. And we got it done.

What’s at stake right now, with the Supreme Court hearing arguments on Moore v. Harper, is our system of checks and balances. Democracy has got to prevail. It’s that simple.

Soon, Minnesota will get more resources to expand broadband across our state. As days get shorter, colder, and snowier, staying connected is even more important, and this kind of federal investment makes sure we can close the digital divide for our rural communities.

. has been one of the strongest fighters for voting rights in the U.S. Senate. Trust us, we aren’t done yet — we’re going to keep working to make sure everyone, no matter what state they live in, can cast their ballot.

Cooler temps means turning on the heater, but that also comes with a risk: carbon monoxide poisoning. I joined Minnesota leaders to talk about my bill that was signed into law to help stop these tragedies and why carbon monoxide detectors are so important.

The Electoral Count Act may not be the first thing you’re thinking about during the holidays, but reforming it is so important for our democracy. I’m trying to get it done before the end of the year. Here’s why:

Jerry Blackwell is a widely respected member of the Minnesota legal community. He brings decades of experience to the bench, including prosecuting Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. I was proud to vote yes on his bipartisan confirmation as a U.S. District Court Judge.

Today I was at the Supreme Court to hear oral arguments in Moore v. Harper. It’s clear this case could stifle democracy and alter our system of checks and balances. That’s why my colleagues and I filed an amicus brief to push back against this unconstitutional power grab.

There is a lot to get done by the end of the year, and a top priority? Passing the Electoral Count Reform Act and ensuring something like January 6 never happens again.

Awarding the Congressional Gold Medal to the officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 is the right thing to do to thank them for their service. I was proud to introduce this bipartisan bill and proud to see these officers recognized today.
