Renee Good's family deserves accountability and justice. The officer responsible for her death must be prosecuted and ICE must be abolished. This is the bare minimum. No family should have to suffer this kind of loss and trauma ever again.

And Minnesotans are left to pay the price—all to help fund tax cuts for Trump’s billionaire allies.

It was incredible to tour the Indian Health Board’s new clinic, Menaandawiwe Wellness Campus, in Minneapolis. This new facility will allow the Indian Health Board to serve up to 1,700 more community members each year, expanding our neighbors' access to quality care.

9 Americans have been killed by Israeli forces in the last 4 years. We need answers. Senate Republicans just blocked a resolution to get accountability for their families and the thousands of Palestinians facing genocide. Unconscionable.

We lost two beautiful children at Annunciation Catholic School. Since the horrific attack, parents from the Annunciation Light Alliance have been organizing to end gun violence. We sat down to discuss legislative solutions to prevent this kind of loss and trauma from happening again.

Any time an industry comes to you and says, “Help us regulate ourselves,” you have to be skeptical. AI needs strong guardrails to protect the public—not rules written to make tech CEOs and billionaires even richer.

ICE has been tearing through our nation, devastating our neighborhoods, our cities, and our businesses. Our communities deserve accountability. My Make ICE Pay Act will redirect ICE's $140 billion budget to the communities they've hurt the most.

The Russia sanctions bill Republicans put on the floor today will do nothing to hold Russia accountable. Instead, it gives Trump broad authority to expand his reckless tariffs. Voted NO.

Getting sick should not make you go broke. In 45 states, workers can have their wages forcibly cut to pay off medical debt. I'm leading a bill with @bobbyscott.house.gov and @repcasar.bsky.social to ban this cruel practice.

This week I voted NO on a bill to block universities who boycott Israel from receiving federal funding. No university or student should be punished for refusing to support a foreign nation and a genocide.

Trump's oil blockade has exponentially worsened the human rights crisis in Cuba. The Cuban people are facing frequent blackouts. They lack access to basic needs like food and medicine. We must break the blockade and ensure human rights for the people of Cuba.

Trump has illegally been conducting military strikes in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific for over a year, killing over 225 people. These extrajudicial killings will go down as a moral stain on our nation's history. The Trump administration must be held accountable.

Our job is to protect the working class and educate our future workforce — not line the pockets of corporate donors. Republicans are prioritizing their own bottom lines and putting corporate interests first. It's shameful.

The House just voted on a government funding bill to give MORE money to ICE. We cannot give another dime to this rogue agency that continues to terrorize our communities. Voted NO.
