Metro Surge is ending, and that’s good news.
But we have a long road to recovery. Our small businesses, workers, and children have felt the strain. Now it’s time to ensure this never happens again.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Less than 14% of those arrested by ICE in Trump's 1st year back in office had violent criminal records, document shows
The official DHS statistics, which had not been previously reported, provide the most detailed look yet into who ICE has arrested during the Trump administration's crackdown.

In Minnesota, we stand by the workers who drive our economy - whether you’re welcoming a new baby or taking care of a sick family member.

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.
He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Donald Trump won this district in Louisiana by 13 points in 2024.
The Democrat just crushed a Republican extremist in this district by 24 points.
Folks, that’s a 37 point swing to the left. We can compete everywhere and win anywhere. Let’s keep this up!
