Republicans are racing forward with a budget that will raise costs for working families.
People will pay more for food, health care, education, and child care – while Republicans plot more tax cuts for billionaires.

Good riddance. But remember that Trump’s goal is to privatize the Postal Service, DeJoy or not.
When your mail is late or missing, it’s their fault.
Just got this email from a Minnesota producer. These freezes hurt real people, including our farmers.
Republicans need to stand up to Musk, but they won't - they want to see all this money vacuumed up so they can give it to big corporations in the form of tax breaks.
My staff and I are closely monitoring this situation and gathering information. Thank you to all the emergency response teams helping.
My thoughts are with everyone on board and their loved ones.
Despicable beyond words.
Heartbroken for this Minnesotan and our LGBTQ+ friends and neighbors seeing news of this disturbing violence.
This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in.
Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.
It's been a day. On my way home Minnesota.
Crazy day — thanks for the pizza @blumenthal.senate.gov 🍕
That has been an inspiration to me every single day that I've served, so I'm grateful for that. And I'm going to spend the next two years figuring out how to thank you all.
So thank you, Minnesota.
At the end of the day, what I am going to miss most about this job isn't the perks and certainly not all of the attention.
It's going to be that feeling that I have from all of you of being invited into your living rooms to hear what's happening in your lives and what that's been like for you.
Second: We have a deep bench of political talent in Minnesota, a group of leaders that are more than ready to pick up the work and carry us forward.
First: I have nearly two full years left in my term, and I plan to use every day working as hard as I can to represent your interests in the Senate and making sure your voices are heard.
(Also, since I don't have to run a re-election campaign, I can focus entirely on this job right now)
This decision is not political, it is entirely personal.
But it's not lost upon me that our country is in need of strong, progressive leadership - right now maybe more than ever.
So there are two things on my mind...
My father is turning 95 this summer, and I'm blessed to have a large extended family of siblings and nieces and nephews.
One of my great joys is to know that I get to spend more time with them, doing sleepovers and helping out from time to time when the kids need me.
When I first came to the Senate, I didn't have any grandchildren.
Now, Archie and I have four - and our sons, Sam and Mason, and daughters in law, Emily and Julia, are now all living in Minneapolis so we can be together.
I wanted you to hear directly from me that I have decided not to run for reelection to the Senate in 2026.
I have loved my job, and after 20 years of hard and rewarding work in the public sector, I'm ready to spend more time with my family.
I want to take some time here to explain my decision (🧵)
Republicans need to work with us to put a stop to this – he’s vacuuming up all this money Minnesotans were promised, but they seem fine with it because it’ll pay for big tax breaks for corporations.
Just heard from a Minnesota farmer who fronted her own money for some conservation work because USDA had a contractual agreement to reimburse her.
Musk’s freeze means she’s out that money and USDA is refusing to reimburse.
If Republicans think pursuing an agenda that’s solely focused on Wall Street and big corporations is going to do anything to help make life affordable, they need a reality check that I am happy to provide.
Tax cuts for billionaires won’t boost wages.
Tax cuts for billionaires won’t make housing cheaper.
Tax cuts for billionaires won’t make health care cheaper.
Tax cuts for billionaires won’t make groceries cheaper.
Tax cuts for billionaires will not help us or our families.
