We wake up this morning to learn that Trump has launched a reckless, illegal war. We can support the democracy movement and the people of Iran without risking the lives of our brave troops.
He clearly has a political vendetta against Minnesota and he’s taking it out on our citizens without really stopping to realize that these are his constituents too – a lot of whom voted for him.
We absolutely should root out fraud – and there are a lot of ways to do it that DON’T involve throwing a giant wrench in the health care of seniors, people with disabilities and kids. This isn’t one of those ways.
BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance says the Trump administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns.
This is why we need to dig in to AT LEAST put some guardrails on DHS, or they’ll just keep doing this in cities (and small towns!) across the country.
Buffalo. Minneapolis. Portland. Everywhere they go they leave devastation in their wake and it EASILY could be your town next.
US immigration officials picked up a blind Rohingya refugee last week in Buffalo, NY. Then, realizing they had no basis to deport him, they released him five miles from his home. He needed a walking stick and died trying to make his way back to his house: www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/25/b...

Trump didn’t “lift” anyone off food stamps—he kicked them off. He’s forcing millions to go hungry. By the way, you can work full time and STILL qualify for SNAP. My family needed SNAP growing up—it’s not charity, it’s an investment. Fund SNAP. Reverse the cuts.
Trump: "In one year, we have lifted 2.4 million Americans -- a record -- off of food stamps" (In other words, Republicans cut food stamps)

Instead, I'll be on the National Mall where we'll heave a far more truthful discussion about how this Administration is making it harder for Americans to afford their lives and feel safe in their neighborhoods.

I’ve been to Trump’s State of the Unions before and really don’t need to go again. He uses his speeches to pillory his political enemies and spread lies – not to mention they're long and boring.
You won’t find cleaner waters than the Boundary Waters. Think endless streams of water filled with bass, walleye, trout and northern pike – total wilderness, only accessible by canoe. Why would we let a Chilean mining company pollute these public lands, take our minerals and ship them off to China?
The ICE surge in Minnesota isn’t over — it just moved outside of the Metro. ICE agents are still terrorizing innocent people in the suburbs. They’re targeting bus stops and hospitals and parks and being more deceptive than ever. This isn’t over until ICE is out of the ENTIRE state.
Minnesota residents and lawmakers say the promised drawdown has not materialized, and they are seeing ICE use more covert tactics to continue operations across Twin Cities suburbs. By @ncsscibelli.bsky.social

"What we need to do, I think right now, is to stand firm on this principle because if we don't, they're just gonna do it again someplace else." Senator Tina Smith explains to Tim Miller why she will vote against every penny of funding for ICE and border protection.
American producers being hurt by trade cheats deserve serious remedies. Instead, the President wasted nearly a year on his futile effort to impose blanket tariffs, rather than policies that would withstand legal scrutiny.
Trump abused his power to make a complete mess of our trade systems, and regular people and small businesses paid the price. Money collected from these illegal tariffs should go back into their pockets.
