ICYMI: We secured $12.7 MILLION for 15 community projects throughout Minnesota’s 5th District. In total, we have secured over $50 million for community-centered projects. That’s government in action. I will always fight to ensure we have a seat at the table.💪🏾

Donald Trump's Big, Ugly Bill is going to rip away health care from over 170,000 Minnesotans. Shameful. I'm doing everything in my power to fight back.

Families like Tamara's count on SNAP to put nutritious, healthy meals on the table. The GOP budget bill cuts BILLIONS from SNAP, taking this crucial support away from them. I'll be thinking about Tamara's family, and millions like her across the country, as I vote NO on

This abomination of a bill gives $150 BILLION for immigration enforcement. And they’re paying for it by cutting MEDICAID and SNAP. They want to take food off your table and healthcare from your family to fund a police state. Unconscionable.

I took to the House floor to demand we protect Medicaid and SNAP against any cuts. This budget bill is immoral and I’m doing everything we can to stop these cuts.

We’ve spent decades pouring billions into forever wars with no clear goals. Meanwhile, Americans are rationing insulin, drowning in student debt, and working two jobs to survive. We need to invest in the people here at home.

Real relief for the Syrian people requires repealing certain laws. My bill with @RepLuna permanently repeals the sanctions and gives the post-Assad Syria a fighting chance.

Our communities aren’t safe when people pretend to be ICE, carry guns, and harass immigrants. The Trump administration’s tactics of having masked agents and secret raids are creating space for impersonators and vigilantes to act. It needs to stop.

I met up with Rep. Ansari to talk about the Trump administration’s cruel new travel ban, a policy that would devastate families in our communities and revive the same hateful playbook we saw during Trump’s first term.

I held my June tele-town hall in collaboration with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. Nearly 13,000 people tuned in to hear important congressional updates and engage with AG Ellison on key issues affecting our communities.

I honored my friend, Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman, for her commitment to the people of Minnesota. Her assassination was a heartbreaking loss and a reminder of the need to take threats against public officials seriously, no matter our politics.
