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.💪🏾

CAPI is doing incredible work serving immigrants and refugees in Hennepin County. I was proud to secure $1 million to expand their Immigrant Opportunity Center, which will provide invaluable resources for skill development and community building. #FundingFridays

Getting rid of these exploitative practices is long overdue. Workers who were stuck in non-competes can now freely pursue their ambitions and get paid what they're truly worth. Let’s go!

BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements. The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes. This is a game changer for American workers.

Great news! The @USDOL 's new rule will make millions of salaried employees eligible for overtime pay. This is a huge win for Americans struggling with higher costs.

No one should be punished for being unable to afford rent or a home. My colleagues, advocates & I called on SCOTUS to choose housing NOT handcuffs & reject efforts to criminalize our unhoused communities.

SCOTUS is currently hearing arguments on whether cities can punish the unhoused for the "crime" of existing without shelter. No one should face arrest for having no permanent shelter.  We must end the criminalization of homelessness and invest in affordable housing for all.
