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.💪🏾

Republicans on the Budget Committee just voted to take away healthcare for nearly 14 million Americans to pay for tax cuts for their billionaire friends. Shameful.

The Budget Committee was brought back tonight to vote *again* on the GOP budget bill. Their bill GUTS Medicaid and SNAP to give tax breaks to billionaires. We’re voting HELL NO.

Republicans are trying to GUT Medicaid to give tax breaks to billionaires. It's unacceptable. I will not stop fighting back.

It’s been a busy week on Capitol Hill as we pushed back against the GOP’s cruel budget during reconciliation. Here’s what I’ve been up to:.I spoke out at a press conference against Republicans’ immigration budget. They want to give $80 billion to ICE to fund deportations and

I spoke out against the GOP’s proposed budget bill. It slashes Medicaid and SNAP, boosts ICE, and hands tax breaks to billionaires. It did not pass committee.

I’m proud to join @RepRashida in co-sponsoring this resolution to recognize the Nakba and affirm the rights of Palestinian refugees. The Nakba never ended. We must acknowledge the truth, end the genocide in Gaza, and restore funding to UNRWA.

The Nakba never ended. Today we are witnessing the Israeli apartheid regime carry out genocide in Gaza. To mark 77 years of the ongoing Nakba against Palestinians I am introducing a resolution in Congress.

The GOP "big, beautiful" budget is a big, beautiful bust. Republicans weren't even able to garner the votes in their own party to pass their disaster budget plan out of committee. This gives us another day to keep fighting for a budget that puts working people first.

The House GOP budget is a big, ugly bill!. It's a MASSIVE transfer of wealth from poor and working people to billionaires. We should be making life easier for working people—not passing laws to make it harder just to get by. I voted NO!

No job should ever be a death sentence. Yet, DOGE is gutting the very agencies designed to keep people safe. OSHA and NIOSH save lives, and their work should be fully funded.

🚨In MN-05, 164,149 Minnesotans on Medicaid are at risk of losing their health care under the Republican budget plan. This includes 78,714 children. This includes 14,000 seniors. I'm fighting back against these morally indefensible cuts. Hands off Medicaid.

Members of Congress should not be trading stocks. Not while they write the laws. Not while they have inside info. Not while the American people are struggling. Ban congressional stock trading. Now.

Republicans are pushing a budget plan that weaponizes and demonizes immigrants. They want to fund deportation flights instead of free school lunches. They want to build more walls when infrastructure is crumbling across America. They want to hire thousands of new ICE officers
