Firing probationary DoD employees will shift the burden of their work to uniformed personnel or more expensive military contractors, making our military less efficient.
The Department of Defense needs major reform. This isn't the way to do it. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Working families expect the president to work with Congress to protect Social Security and Medicaid, ensure a fair tax code, and protect workers’ rights and safety while on the job.
Today at a town hall with local union members I heard concerns about the reckless and illegal actions by President Trump and Elon Musk to raid agencies providing services and projects that Americans rely on to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.
Donald Trump has fired hundreds of FAA employees since taking office, including several hundred on Friday alone. This reckless approach to the security of our skies is wreaking havoc and endangering the safety of American air travelers.
House Republicans broke their word, and are now proposing huge cuts to Medicaid. This would drive up costs for middle class families — all to make room for a giant tax break for billionaires.
If just 3 House Republicans join Democrats to block it, we'll defeat their dangerous plan.
Donald Trump & Elon Musk illegally and abruptly fired nuclear security workers before realizing they're essential to our national security. An unelected billionaire and his interns have no place meddling in the security of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/16/u...
My thoughts are with the passengers, crew, and families of those rescued from Delta Flight 4819 this afternoon. I wish swift recoveries to those who were injured, and am grateful to the first responders whose heroic actions saved lives today.
President Trump illegally canceled scholarships for 185 students @uofstthomasmn.bsky.social training to be special education teachers because he deems their studies “DEI.”
I completely agree with President Zelenskyy: Nothing about Ukraine, without Ukraine.
Ukraine is not the aggressor. Russian troops illegally invaded Ukraine and killed thousands of Ukrainians. Any negotiations to end the war must include the Ukrainian government. www.bbc.com/news/article...
President Trump promised to lower costs on "Day One." Instead, we’re paying much more for groceries, gas, and rent because of his illegal and chaotic actions.
Tina Smith is a dear friend and an incredible partner in improving the lives of Minnesotans. I'm truly grateful for her work on behalf of our communities. Minnesota is better thanks to her public service, and I look forward to working with her during the next two years.

House Republicans' budget would reward their billionaire donors with a $4 trillion tax break at the expense of working families. www.newsweek.com/republicans-...
Elon Musk is not making our government efficient; He’s an unelected billionaire with multiple government contracts and business ties to China — blatant conflicts of interest. Now he’s retaliating against regulators by illegally sabotaging them and attempting to close agencies.
There's a reason why Trump wants to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: It helps working people fight back against irresponsible and risky financial practices.
Who's helped by a shuttered CFPB? Crypto billionaires, the big banks, and scammers.
My office has received thousands of phone calls from Minnesotans concerned about what is happening here in Washington, D.C.
I hear you — and I'm working with my Democratic colleagues to hold the Trump Administration accountable.
National security starts with people.
Today, I joined three U.S. Senators in urging the Secretary of Defense to course-correct on the White House’s reckless Deferred Resignation letter which severely weakens our national security posture.
President Trump and Secretary Rubio are breaking the law. Their illegal and unconstitutional scheme to unilaterally shut down USAID and cancel all foreign aid weakens our national security. They must reverse the foreign aid freeze and reinstate all employees illegally placed on leave.
President Trump today upended decades of bipartisan work to reach a two-state solution that would have Israelis and Palestinians living side-by-side in peace in their homelands. I’m also concerned that the words spoken today at the White House could put the ceasefire in jeopardy.
Candidate Trump promised to "immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One." Instead, his tariffs would tax families — higher prices on eggs, pork, cars, and more. My fellow Democrats and I are urging President Trump to permanently rescind his tariffs on Canadian goods.
