On National Day of Remembrance for Boarding School Survivors, we honor those children and reaffirm our commitment to strengthen Tribal sovereignty and deepen our respect for our trust and treaty obligations to Tribal Nations.

For years it was the official policy of the United States to forcibly separate Native children from their families and send them to boarding school. Force them to learn new languages and culture and strip them of their identity. It remains one of our nation’s greatest injustices.

Not true, Tom. In fact, this is about the 11,000 Minnesotans in your district and over 89k across the state looking at huge health insurance premium increases. Doesn’t that concern you?
Tweet from @GOPMajoritywhip: Democrats are planning to shut the government down tomorrow unless illegal aliens get taxpayer-funded healthcare. Their political games will have dangerous impacts. Don’t just take my word for it. 🧵:

Health insurance premiums could spike by nearly $300 a month for Minnesotans. Doesn’t take an economist to know most people can’t afford that.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Congress formally apologized to the descendants of those killed in the massacre in 1990. Congress recommended reviewing the recipients for a reason – because actions that warrant our highest military honors should represent America’s values.

There’s a reason it’s usually referred to as the Wounded Knee Massacre – American soldiers mercilessly killed unarmed Lakota men, women, children and elders. There was no honor in what happened that day. This is a stain on our history.
Secretary Pete Hegseth Under my direction, the soldiers who fought at the Battle of Wounded Knee will keep their medals. This decision is final. Their place in history is settled.

He was a passionate advocate for protecting the Boundary Waters. And up until his final days he was encouraging me to think about how Minnesota’s unique civic values are so deeply needed in this moment in our country. Bless him, he was a true public servant and friend.

Dick Moe was a dear friend, mentor and advisor to me and I will miss him so much. As Chief of Staff to Senator and Vice President Mondale, Dick knew a thing or two about the Senate, and I’ll treasure our conversations in the Senate dining room about how to be a good Minnesota Senator.
Richard Moe, Walter Mondale’s right-hand man and leader in historic preservation, dies at 88
The Duluth native and University of Minnesota Law School alumnus helped transform the vice president’s role when he was Mondale’s aide in the 1970s.

“It represents the most significant legal step yet by the Trump administration to harry, punish and humiliate a former official the president identified as an enemy, at the expense of procedural safeguards intended to shield the Justice Department from political interference and personal vendettas.”

Breaking News: A federal grand jury is said to have indicted James Comey, after President Trump intensified his pressure campaign on the Justice Department.

Trump has turned the Justice Department into a weapon for his personal vengeance, plain and simple.

🚨 BREAKING: James Comey posts a video statement following his indictment "My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump...But I'm not afraid. And I hope you're not either...And I'm innocent. So let's have a trial and keep the faith."

Can think of a lot of hospitals, schools and food pantries that could use twenty billion dollars to actually help our own citizens…

Donald Trump wants to lend $20 billion of our money to bail out a political ally and his global investors before an election. Oh, and Argentina just struck a major deal with China that crushes American soybean farmers already suffering from Trump's tariffs. “America First.”

You left out the part about how your Big, Beautiful Bill cut $137B from rural health care. I know you’re gutting the Education Department, but don’t worry, I did the math for you: -$137B + $50B = -$87B
Senate Republicans (SenateGOP) responds to Senator Tina Smith on X: Senate Dems are speaking out of both sides of their mouths. On Friday, they voted to cut $50B from rural hospitals instead of a clean, bipartisan funding bill. The only thing they're interested in avoiding is backlash from their radical base. The original post by Tina Smith reads: Go ahead and ask Americans if they can afford a 70% hike in their health insurance premiums right now. See how that goes. It's a crisis in the making that we're TRYING to avoid...
