Great catching up with Mayor Roger Reinert in DC. We talked about ways to keep supporting Duluth’s economy and infrastructure, including critical funding for the Blatnik Bridge.
Honored to accept an award from Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy for my bipartisan work to accelerate research and treatments for muscular dystrophy.
The advocates and families tirelessly working to improve the quality of life for their loved ones inspire us to keep fighting.
In 2023 I chaired an antitrust hearing on Live Nation/Ticketmaster after the Taylor Swift concert debacle. It was clear then that this three-headed monopoly (ticketing, venues, promotion) must be broken up. DOJ undermined the case and hurt fans. Ticket prices won’t go down.
Great to be with the International Association of Fire Fighters. Together, we passed my bipartisan Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act to support families of firefighters lost to or disabled by service-related cancers. I’ll keep fighting for the resources our first responders deserve.
This settlement falls short of what fans deserve. Breaking up Live Nation-Ticketmaster is the only way to loosen its grip on venues, artists, and fans. I'm introducing a bill to stop corrupt antitrust settlements and I'm glad states plan to continue the case to protect consumers.
It was an honor to attend the dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base for Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake. She was a devoted soldier, a loving wife to Joey, and a proud mom. She embodied the very best of Minnesota and America. We will never forget her service.
Sergeant First Class Nicole Amor was the best of America and the best of Minnesota.
It was an honor to attend the dignified transfer for Sergeant First Class Amor alongside her family and bear witness to her return to the country she loved and fought for.
I had a great time yesterday at the FIRST Robotics Minnesota Bluff Country Regional in Winona cheering on our next generation of engineers and inventors.
Honored to meet with representatives from Minnesota Veterans of Foreign Wars.
Their service, sacrifice, and ongoing advocacy for veterans continue to inspire us all.
Wishing the very best of luck to all the Minnesota athletes competing in the 2026 Paralympic Winter Games!

Under Secretary Noem, Minnesotans’ constitutional rights were violated and two innocent citizens were killed.
Alex Pretti and Renee Good should still be alive today.
Noem’s removal is an important step forward but it is only the beginning of the change we need to see.
Under the leadership of Secretary Noem, the constitutional rights of people across our state were violated and two Minnesotans were killed. Alex Pretti and Renee Good should be alive today. At this week’s oversight hearing in the Senate, I pressed Secretary Noem on the lies she spread by calling Alex and Renee domestic terrorists and the wrongful stops and arrests of American citizens. Secretary Noem’s overdue removal from the Department of Homeland Security is a step toward accountability, but it is only the beginning.
Breaking: Kristi Noem is out.
Minnesotans stood up for Alex and Renee and so many others.
And if anyone ever asked why we have committee hearings and demand answers….
Had the privilege of meeting with American Legion members from Minnesota.
We reflected on the enormous loss of Sgt. Amor. It’s a tragic reminder of everything our vets put on the line for our country. I will never stop fighting to ensure they have the support they need.
Today I voted to pass the resolution to rein in the President. He unilaterally launched a war in the Middle East with no imminent harm to the U.S. when he did it. Iran should never have a nuclear weapon, but the Administration has no strategic path forward.
I got to speak with two dedicated Minnesota teachers—Job Nyangacha from Roseville and Kristen Sinicariello from Columbia Heights—who traveled to DC to share the real impact of ICE actions on their students.
Minnesota’s public radio stations are a reliable source of information on everything from weather to emergencies to local sports.
This Rural Voices Day, we honor the stations that inform, unite, and protect us in every corner of our state. Thank you for being there.
Great speaking with committed anti-hunger advocates from across the country.
Huge thanks to these frontline heroes for their relentless dedication to feeding families in need.
I asked Secretary Noem if she had anything to say to the parents of Alex Pretti.
She gave no apology, just excuses. His family deserves better.
John and I join countless people across Minnesota in mourning Sgt. First Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, who made the ultimate sacrifice serving our country. Our hearts are with her family, loved ones, and all those in our armed forces.
Small businesses are the backbone of our neighborhoods & economy.
After ICE operations in our state caused millions in losses & forced painful closures, many businesses are slowly reopening—but they need our help now more than ever.

Met with Ducks Unlimited to talk about conservation and protecting our wetlands. Grateful for their work preserving habitats for generations to come!
They had the wrong guy.
ICE dragged a U.S. citizen – a Hmong elder – out of his home in just his underwear in freezing temperatures, drove him around for an hour, just to figure out they had the wrong guy.
That didn’t make anyone safer.
Nearly three days after the initial strikes on Iran, the Administration has still not laid out a strategic plan or path forward.
The American people deserve answers.
Welcome home Cory and Korey! We came together in Duluth to celebrate your silver medal wins during this year’s games.
You’ve made us all so proud!🥈🥈
Honored to receive the Answering the Call Award from the National Emergency Number Association for my work to unanimously pass the bipartisan Enhancing First Response Act out of the Senate to strengthen 9-1-1 response during disasters.
Now, it’s time for the House to get this done.
Men’s and Women’s Olympic hockey champions on SNL. 🇺🇸🏒
“It was just gonna be us, but we thought we’d invite the guys too.”
A gold medal–worthy line from Captain Hilary Knight.
Honored to join the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community of Minnesota for their beautiful Iftar last night. Breaking bread together during Ramadan with people from many faiths and backgrounds—including Democrats and Republicans at this Iftar—reminds us that there is still so much that brings us together as a nation.
John and I are holding the families of the American service members killed and wounded in action in our thoughts today. We honor their bravery and sacrifice. 🙏
Enjoyed touring Rosenbauer —a Wyoming, Minnesota manufacturer that has been building fire trucks and firefighting equipment for our first responders for 160 years!
