Minnesota voters rejected a constitutional amendment limiting voting rights in 2012, but if Donald Trump and House Republicans get their way, nearly 1 million Minnesota women would face extra burdens to register to vote simply because they changed their name after marriage.

Dr. Carla Hayden has earned bipartisan respect as Librarian of Congress. Donald Trump's decision to fire her is a shameful, unjustified attack on her and the independent library that serves all Americans. Congress must hold Trump accountable.

President Trump’s return to extreme immigration actions includes targeting Hmong & Lao Minnesotans. Recently, ICE detained a Hmong refugee who came here after his father fought alongside Americans during the secret war in Laos. I’ll keep fighting against Trump’s illegal acts.

Blong Yang, the son of a war hero who fought alongside U.S. forces during the "Secret War" in Laos, was apprehended by ICE.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump gutting the FDA will mean fewer tools to prevent toxic health threats to consumers. Consumers deserve protections, which is why I’ve worked with Saint Paul’s Beautywell Project to highlight harmful poisons used in skin lighteners and other products.

How everyday beauty products could pose a toxic health threat

Formaldehyde, and preservatives that release the chemical, can be found in a variety of personal care products such as lotion, body wash and face cream.

President Trump's pressure plan for Ukraine would bring false peace. This week in @startribune.com, I explain why forcing Ukraine into a peace deal on Putin’s terms would have serious long-term consequences for the national security of Ukraine, Europe, and the United States. Read for free here:

U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum: Trump’s pressure plan for Ukraine would bring false peace

It’s not just wrong for that country. It’s a terrible global precedent.

Last week, I proudly supported legislation to award the Congressional Gold Medal to members of the Miracle on Ice US Hockey team. For those keeping tabs: 12 of our fellow Minnesotans played on that legendary team! 🇺🇸

During the first 100 days of his presidency, the American people filed more than 220 legal challenges to Donald Trump’s unlawful and unconstitutional actions, and more than 131 court orders have halted the administration's illegal actions. We're fighting back — and we're winning.

My grandmother was able to earn family-supporting wages and benefits as a union member working at this plant. The loss of this long-time employer is incredibly sad, and another casualty of the growing economic chaos being stoked by Trump.

I recently joined my fellow Democrats on a letter to Secretary Rubio demanding answers about the unlawful arrest and detention of Mohsen Mahdawi. His release today shows that our pressure on the Trump Administration in public and in court is working.

Mohsen Mahdawi, Columbia Student Detained by Trump Administration, is Freed (Gift Article)

Mohsen Mahdawi had been an organizer of pro-Palestinian protests at the university. The Trump administration is trying to deport him for it.

President Trump has chosen to surround himself with more than a dozen billionaire advisors in the White House, so it should come as no surprise that he’s putting the interests of Elon Musk and his mega-donors over the needs of middle class families.

Trump’s chaotic tariff wars are growing the trade deficit – which has never been higher – despite his promises to eliminate it.

The S&P 500 is DOWN 7.3%, threatening Americans’ retirement savings. Consumer sentiment is DROPPING lower than it was during the COVID-19 pandemic or the Great Recession.

🧵: In just 100 days, Donald Trump’s actions are proving to be disastrous for Americans’ economic security. Three short months ago, our economy was GROWING at 2.4%. Under Trump, it’s SHRINKING by a rate of 0.3% — the first contraction in three years.
