Cheryl and I are keeping the students, teachers and families impacted by last night’s shooting in Eden Prairie in our prayers today. No homecoming celebration should end with gun violence. We’ve got to do better for our kids and pass common sense gun control in this country.

Another disappointing jobs report. Unemployment ticked up to 4.2%, job growth slowed (again) and Minnesotans are feeling it. President Trump promised a Golden Age — yet opportunities are dwindling, prices are rising and folks can’t keep up. Minnesotans deserve better.

It’s that time of year! Every fall, I visit Mr. Snobeck’s political science class at Eagan High School to answer questions about our government and share my experience as an elected official. I had a great time today hearing from and speaking to some of Eagan’s best and brightest.

It was an honor to receive the Mayor’s Award from Newport Mayor Laurie Elliott and the Newport City Council today. Serving Minnesota’s Second District is a true honor, and I couldn’t be more grateful for Mayor Elliott’s partnership over the years. Thank you, Mayor Elliott!

Hispanic Heritage Month is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements and contributions of Hispanic Minnesotans. This month and always, we celebrate the diversity and rich cultures that make our state stronger!

Cheryl and I got to visit the top of the Capitol Dome in Washington! It was a hike – literally 300 stairs – but I’d say the view was worth it.

I’m thrilled that the Lynx’s own Cheryl Reeve was named WNBA Coach of the Year (again!) and Olivia Miles was voted WNBA Rookie of the Year! Not only have these two had a record-breaking season – they also led the Lynx to the top seed in the playoffs. Cheryl and Olivia, we couldn’t be prouder of you.

I think we could all use a little Dakota pick-me-up right about now, or should I say... Da-Cow-Ta! What do you think of Dakota’s Halloween costume? My wife Cheryl has always wanted a Highland Cow. Dakota is not very amused.

Happy National Public Lands Day! From neighborhood playgrounds to national parks, our public lands are essential to our communities. Today, let’s commit to protecting these sacred outdoor spaces for generations of Minnesotans to come.🌲⛰️🛶🏕️

President Trump’s vanity projects are slated to cost over $1.8 billion of your tax dollars. That same amount of money could pay for:

America is a country of immigrants, yet for too long, our broken system has made it too hard for folks who work hard, pay taxes and contribute to our communities to stay here. It’s time to change that.

Yesterday, we celebrated the 200th Birthday of the House Ag Committee!   It is an honor to serve as the top Dem on @houseagdems.bsky.social, where I get to help shape policy on behalf of family farmers. Cheers to the farmers and producers who feed and fuel the world and to 2 centuries of House Ag!

I met with 3 constituents my office assisted. Thanks to my team’s work, Rudy and RoseAnn finally received a check from the IRS after facing months of red tape, and Grant got his passport in time for an important trip. If you need help with a federal agency, my team is here to help at 651-846-2120.

President Trump’s war in Iran has sent gas prices skyrocketing. It cost me $75 to fill up my Jeep (and it wasn’t even on empty) yesterday – that’s just unacceptable. It’s time to end this war and bring down costs for Minnesota families.

It was great to see former Public Safety Director Pete Koerner yesterday and to present him with a Congressional Record for his 34 years of service to the Cottage Grove Police Department. Pete, your work has made MN a safer place to work, live and raise a family. Thank you for your service.

On Friday, Trump banned CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House. This is a blatant breach of the First Amendment and an attack on democracy. Minnesotans deserve independent reporting on the Trump Admin, not censored puff pieces from its allies. As a former journalist, I stand with the press.

I’m proud to announce that my bill with Rep. Jimmy Panetta to crack down on illicit xylazine passed the House last week. This legislation will get illegal drugs off our streets and help law enforcement keep our communities safe. It’s a no-brainer – let’s get this bill passed in the Senate.

Our veterans risked their lives for our freedoms – and it's our job to make sure they’re taken care of when they get home. This week I met with the Minnesota Veterans of Foreign Wars to discuss how Congress can best support Minnesota’s brave heroes.

Republicans sent us home early AGAIN. Why? Because they want to avoid a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth. This is the least effective Congress in history. When we come back in November, I’ll vote to impeach Minnesota’s national embarrassment — Pete Hegseth.

Today, I’m introducing my bill with @repilhan.bsky.social to reimburse states for the financial damages caused by Trump’s ICE. As Minnesotans begin the long process of healing from Metro Surge, it’s important we commit to holding this lawless administration accountable. That starts with this bill.

Today, I voted no on Republicans’ Russian sanctions bill because we need a clean bill that punishes Russia for its illegal operations in Ukraine, not one that hands President Trump even MORE sweeping tariff authority.

Always a treat to see the MN Farm Bureau! We talked about how legislation in DC – like my bill that implements year-round E15 – can make all the difference for Minnesota’s family farmers. We already passed year-round E15 in the House, now let’s get it passed in the Senate and signed into law! 🌽⛽️

Since Trump launched his illegal war in Iran, Minnesotans have spent an additional $1Bon gas – that’s an extra $651 per family. That’s unacceptable. Minnesotans are fed up with having to foot the bill for Trump’s recklessness. It’s time to end this war and bring down costs for hardworking families.

Yesterday, SCOTUS affirmed what we’ve known all along: that President Trump’s attempt to block mail-in voting is illegal. This decision is a win for our democracy.

President Trump’s economy is failing. Inflation rose even higher in August, sending diesel prices to a historic all-time high of more than $6 a gallon. That means higher costs for truckers, farmers and working folks. Does this feel like a golden age to you?

It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since 9/11. On this difficult day in our nation’s history, we remember the thousands of innocent Americans who died and honor the brave first responders who ran toward danger to save lives. We will never forget.

When Members of Congress resign because of misconduct, they can still collect their tax-funded benefits. Loopholes like this one are why so many have lost trust in government. I’m introducing a bill to ban Members of Congress who have violated their oath of office from receiving their pensions.

I’ve got four months left serving Minnesota’s Second District and I want you to know exactly how I’m going to spend them: lowering costs, working to end the war in Iran and protecting Minnesotans’ access to the ballot box. There’s work left to do – and I intend to do it.

Yesterday, the House voted to delay the federal hemp ban by one month. It’s a step in the right direction — but it’s not nearly enough. Thousands of MN workers, farmers, brewers and producers depend on the hemp industry. I’ll keep fighting to stop the hemp ban and protect MN jobs.

Earlier this year, in a series of tests, OpenAI’s agents executed coordinated attacks on another AI platform. This is shocking, and a serious threat to our nation’s cybersecurity. We’ve got to put common-sense AI guardrails in place – that’s why I’m personally pushing Sam Altman to take action.

Four years ago today, the PACT Act was signed into law. It was a critical step in expanding health care for our nation’s toxic-exposed veterans, but that fight is far from over. I’ll keep working to ensure all of Minnesota’s brave servicemembers can access the benefits and care they have earned.

Trump gutted wildfire prevention efforts and in MN, we’re seeing the impacts in our own backyard. I’m proud to introduce the Wildfire Response and Readiness Act to advance prevention and response strategies while delivering long-overdue support for MN wildland firefighters. Let’s get it done.

There’s no sugarcoating it: Trump’s economy is flailing. Between lost jobs and rising costs — Minnesotans are paying the price. Does this feel like the “golden age of America” to you?

President Trump’s attacks on health care have already sent costs skyrocketing for Minnesotans. Now, he’s trying to gut programs that help seniors afford lifesaving prescription drugs. We won’t let him.
