    Democrats have offered three funding options for strong, sensible, and effective border security that don’t include Pres. Trump’s ineffective & expensive border wall. Republicans have the power AND responsibility to end the and should do so immediately.

    Democrats have offered Republicans multiple proposals to keep the government open, including one that already passed the Senate unanimously, & all of which include funding for strong, sensible, & effective border security – not the president's ineffective and expensive wall.

    Secretary of Defense Mattis is right, America can only lead in the world by maintaining strong and respectful partnerships with our friends and allies. His resignation from the administration gives me great concern, and is a serious blow to American leadership in the world.

    Mere days after Congress passed the bipartisan Farm Bill has made it his mission to restrict access to vital food assistance programs like SNAP. This decision will hurt Minnesota families and children who depend on SNAP.

    The Unites States has a moral and legal responsibility to live up to our treaty obligations to tribal nations, and clearly shows we are failing. I’m committed to leading Democrats in fighting for more funding for Native health, education, safety, and other needs.

    Commission majority found that the federal government is not meeting its trust responsibilities and that budgets & spending of agencies sponsoring & Native Hawaiian programs are inadequate.

    I am returning to DC today to prevent President Trump from shutting down the federal government. No $5 billion for wasteful wall. Time to say goodbye to the GOP controlled House and welcome responsible leadership in 2019 with Democrats in control.

    Our public lands are not up for grabs — whether it’s to a billionaire NFL team owner, fossil fuel companies, or any other private entity. I won’t allow the American public to be hoodwinked out of what they’re entitled to. Read my letter to the editor here:

    Michael A. “Bones” Hartzell was a beloved, self-appointed steward of St. Paul’s Rice Street. Whether he was chatting with passerby’s or sweeping the walk outside of the local businesses, Bones’ generous spirit will be sorely missed.

    The departure of Interior Sec. Ryan Zinke is welcome news. Zinke's mountain of ethical problems & pro-extraction & exploitation agenda cast a dark shadow on the secretary's office. DOI's mission is important! It's time for oversight & accountability.

    Thanks to for holding a public meeting on the explosion at the Husky Refinery. This near-miss with Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) is a wake-up call. Federal protections need to be strengthened on HF and other chemicals used at US refineries.

    Deporting Vietnamese or Cambodian refugees who have lived for decades in the U.S. back to countries they have no ties to can only be called cruel and senseless. This policy hurts families, tears apart communities, & intentionally puts deportees in danger.
