Today, we commemorate Indigenous Peoples' Day by celebrating the rich heritage of Minnesota’s eleven Tribal Nations and Native communities nationwide. Now more than ever, we must continue to support and uplift tribal voices, cultures, and rights.

In Bemidji and across the country, Americans will see their premiums double or even triple if Congressional Republicans refuse to work with us to extend the health care tax credits.

Hardworking families don’t have an extra $14,400 lying around. We need to stop this health care crisis.

Two years after Hamas’s brutal attack, Gaza’s guns are silent—and the last hostages are home.
Trump is taking a victory lap for “everlasting peace,” but Gaza’s still in ruins, and both sides are holding their breath.
This isn’t peace. It’s a pause.

It’s fantastic news that all remaining hostages have been returned.

I’m not ready to spike the football and declare victory on peace yet, though. These things can - and often do - go completely sideways.

I’m sure the people who were *pissed* that Hunter Biden sold paintings are equally furious about Barron Trump reportedly being tapped for the TikTok board.

Right?

HAMILTON COUNTY STUDENTS: “You’re bending to the will of extremists.”

Chattanooga kids showed up to push the board to reinstate a Centerstone mental health counseling contract. They again refused, putting hate over kids and pulling it off the agenda.

Here’s how tariffs work. Your costs go up, and that money gets transferred to the wealthy.

Whether you’re progressive, liberal, leftist, libertarian, communist, socialist, moderate, democrat, conservative, Christian, atheist, Gen Z, Boomer… we have the same enemy. It’s the oligarchs.

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.

It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov · 2h

Some families in America are on track to pay over $22,000 more per YEAR for their health insurance.

Where are their Republican senators?

Three panels of Senator Elizabeth Warren saying:

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, a 60-year-old couple making $85k/year will have to pay over $22,000 more EVERY YEAR to keep their coverage.

TWENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

For families already hanging on by their fingernails, that could be a matter of life and death.

I have been very clear: I cannot and will not vote for a budget that fails to fund health care.

Costs are out of control and hard-working Americans can’t afford to pay double their already-expensive monthly health costs.

I join all Georgians in celebrating the release of the remaining living hostages from Gaza. Strength to them and their families.

I pray for the return of the remains of the deceased to their families, and for a lasting peace that protects Israeli and Palestinian children.

three separate federal court judges intervened in Chicago to block unconstitutional, abusive, and violent practices Trump has used to intimidate Americans. Not one judge bought the government lawyers’ misrepresentations and specious arguments for Trump’s unlimited power.

MAGA cultist may buy the canard Trump is battling the “enemy from within,” but voters, courts, and governors are effectively confirming that Trump is the menace. Republicans would be smart to flee the losing side of an unsustainable position that has unified opposition to MAGA’s despotism.

Ukrainians inspire the world with their courage.
Their resilience calls for our full support.

I am in Kyiv today for talks on financial and military support, the security of Ukraine’s energy sector, and holding Russia accountable for its war crimes.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."
