Trump is a threat to our national security 

Dear John,   This week, the annual defense bill – otherwise known as the National Defense Authorization Act – came to the floor for a vote. While I appreciate my Democratic colleagues’ work over the past few months to strip an earlier version of this bill of some of its most conc…

Trump’s attacks on Minnesotans

Dear John,   This week, President Trump targeted Minnesota’s Somali community. His decision to send ICE into our communities – even targeting those with Temporary Protected Status (TPS) – accomplishes nothing but incite fear and make us all less safe. Instead of improving the lives…

I'm thankful for MN02!

Dear John,   Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! I hope you and your loved ones enjoyed the day together and ate (lots of) turkey. I know I sure did... This year hasn't been easy. With Republicans’ historic cuts to health care and food assistance, the rise of political violence, tough tim…

I'm taking on Big Pharma to lower the price of insulin

Dear John,   This week, I introduced my Affordable Insulin Now Act, which would extend the $35 insulin cap for seniors on Medicare to all Americans with private insurance.   For far too long, Big Pharma has raked in record-breaking profits by jacking up prices for consumers and for…

Why I voted no on the Republican funding bill

Dear John,   This week, the longest shutdown in American history came to an end. On Sunday, the Senate released a so-called ‘deal’ to fund the government and end the shutdown that would put 24 million Americans at risk of losing their health care. This bill passed the Senate, the H…

I won’t stand for this Administration’s cruelty

Dear John,   This week, President Trump broke his own record for the longest government shutdown in American history. Meanwhile, House Republicans have made it crystal clear they have no interest in getting back to the table to address the affordability crisis in our country. Speak…

The Trump Administration is taking food away from Minnesotans

Dear John,   Tomorrow, open enrollment begins in Minnesota on MNSure. Health care costs are skyrocketing and this week, instead of address these issues, President Trump decided to take food away from nearly 42 million Americans by refusing to fund SNAP programs in November. It is il…

Let’s recap this week in Washington

Dear John,   On Monday, I hosted a telephone town hall from Washington to hear from folks back home about how this Administration is impacting them. We’re seeing the effects of the Republican health care crisis materialize right here at home. Premiums are skyrocketing, rural Minnes…

What the heck is happening with Argentina?

Dear John, Some of you may have heard that this week, the Trump Administration announced a $40 billion taxpayer-funded bailout to Argentina. Let me break it down for you.  It all starts with President Trump’s trade war. Since President Trump launched us headfirst into an internat…

Republicans are refusing to pay our troops

Dear John,   Well, we are now into week two of a government shutdown, and House Republicans are still not in DC and are still refusing to negotiate a bill that addresses the health care crisis in our country. They have the House, the Senate and the White House – but are still someh…

What’s going on with the Republican government shutdown?

Dear John,   This week, Republicans – who control the House, the Senate and the White House – failed to do their jobs and keep the federal government open. Why? Because President Trump and House Republicans refused to negotiate a bill with Democrats that would lower costs and protec…

Trump and RFK continue to spread lies

Dear John,   I’m sure many of you have either seen or heard about President Trump and HHS Secretary Kennedy’s press conference this week where they discussed unfounded theories of a causal link between the use of Tylenol (also known as acetaminophen) during pregnancy and autism. Du…

Why I voted no on the Republican government funding package

Dear John,   This week Republicans passed their so-called “clean” government funding bill and let me tell you – there's nothing clean about it. It's a short-term funding package that fails to address the needs of Minnesotans.  Democrats came to the table with our own funding propos…

Let’s get our kids off their phones in school

We’ve got to ban elected officials from trading stocks

Dear John,   This week in Washington, the Senate is in disarray over legislation that will ban Members of Congress, the President and the Vice President from trading stocks.   To no one’s surprise, a certain high-profile official in the White House is lobbying heavily against this…

House Republicans have done everything but help hardworking Minnesotans

I won’t stand for Trump’s cuts to Minnesota Public Media

Dear John,   This week, the House received the Senate version of the federal recissions package – a bill drafted by the President and Republicans in Congress that takes a sledgehammer to public media.  The recissions package will cut $1.1 billion from public media nationally, and…

Trump’s reckless tariffs will hurt Minnesotans

Dear John,   In April, President Trump imposed a 90 day pause on his extreme set of global tariffs. But that pause is almost up, and Minnesotans are feeling the squeeze. Nationally, the overall tariff rate currently sits at 17.4% – that’s the highest it’s been since 1934.   Using …

Protecting Minnesotans’ access to health care

Dear John,   Since I came to Congress, I have been committed to lowering health care costs and improving Minnesotans’ access to care. Over the past few years, we’ve made strides by allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices and capping insulin at $35 per month for our seniors.    U…
