A little cold won’t keep me from sticking up for Minnesotans.

Beautiful service for a wonderful man. So thankful I was able to be here for it.
Rest in peace, President Carter.
I called for DOJ to investigate RealPage + other companies engaged in this practice in March 2023 with @warren.senate.gov, @markey.senate.gov and @sanders.senate.gov.
Glad to see more action taking on corporate landlords who illegally coordinate to reduce competition + inflate the cost of rent.
Artificially inflating rent is just wrong. When corporate landlords collude with each other and use algorithms to keep units empty and prices high, renters get stuck in a doom spiral of unaffordability.
But that’s exactly what these landlords do.
Upgrades will include making structural steel repairs and replacing deteriorated sections – and replacing sidewalks so we can all keep enjoying Park Point.
Between this and the complete replacement of the Blatnik Bridge, the future of Duluth’s infrastructure is bright.
Seeing ships from around the world traverse under the Aerial Lift Bridge and dock in Duluth never gets old. It's a staple of the Northland.
And we have some good news. Senator Klobuchar and I secured funding to make repairs to keep the bridge operational for years to come.
You can't choose when you get sick and oftentimes hospitals don’t tell you the true cost of care up front. Medical debt can make it hard to buy a car or take out a loan. It’s unfair for a lower credit score to follow you for years because you suffered an accident and needed care.
Today, we will certify the election results. Democracy will prevail.
But we can never forget that our democratic values are only guaranteed so long as we protect them.
I had a chance to sit down with Fargo-Moorhead columnist Jim Shaw over the holidays to talk about where I was and what I saw in the Capitol that day.
You can read more here.
He would be pardoning those who broke the law and tried to overthrow a free and fair election.
He would be pardoning people who tried to negate the votes of the people of Minnesota and the country.
That won’t happen today and should never happen again.
When Trump refers to the day as “a day of love” I immediately think of that video of a police officer, smashed between two doors, crying for help.
The prisoners from that day are not hostages and shouldn't be pardoned.
That’s when I texted my family. I said I was okay, but that’s when I realized how close to real badness I was.
Then the rioters were getting close to the Senate floor. The doors flew open and the Sergeant at Arms said, “Everybody move. Follow me.”
We moved down to a safe room and spent six or seven hours there.
He washed his face and his eyes, got up and stumbled to go back outside.
The next thing I knew I was in the Senate Chamber, and Capitol Police came in and closed the door.
They said there had been an incursion, that we need to stay in our seats, and we would be safe here.
I was in my office in the Capitol with two of my colleagues when I first knew something was wrong. We heard coughing and choking from a Capitol Police officer who was looking for a bathroom.
It was clear to us that someone had sprayed him with pepper spray or bear spray.
I’ll always have a lot of complicated feelings about January 6th. Anger. Grief. Anxiety. Fear. It was the worst assault on our democracy in my lifetime.
I was there. I’ll never forget it. I know it’s important that we talk about it, so I’ll recount my memory of that day here.
We should be empowering local communities to solve their housing challenges in ways that work best for them. My bill with @aoc.bsky.social, the Homes Act, would do that.
At the heart of this is one simple goal: making sure everyone can build a life they can afford and be proud of.
Housing costs are one of the biggest challenges people face. Rent is rising, buying a home feels out of reach, and the lack of affordable housing makes it harder for people to build the lives they want.
We need housing solutions that put people first.
Always great to catch up with Congresswoman Craig. Looking forward to another term working together to deliver for small towns, rural places, farmers and ranchers.
… and as always: Go Lynx!
