President Trump’s vanity projects are slated to cost over $1.8 billion of your tax dollars. That same amount of money could pay for: - 600+ million school lunches - 12 million Americans’ electric bills for one month - A full year of medical bills for 88,000 veterans - 27,000+ new firefighters or schoolteachers - 35+ million tanks of gas for a typical sedan Minnesotans want a life they can afford – not an algae-green Reflecting Pool and a ballroom built for billionaires.

America is a country of immigrants, yet for too long, our broken system has made it too hard for folks who work hard, pay taxes and contribute to our communities to stay here. It’s time to change that. I’m proud to cosponsor the bipartisan DIGNITY Act, which makes meaningful reforms to our immigration system and creates a pathway to citizenship for our nation’s Dreamers. craig.house.gov/media/press-…

Here’s a behind the scenes look at last night’s Congressional Women’s Softball game! We may not have won, but we sure had a lot of fun.

It’s the best day of the year! Nothing better than the Congressional Women’s Softball Game. Can’t wait to face off with the press later tonight! 🥎

Yesterday, we celebrated the 200th Birthday of the House Agriculture Committee!   It is an honor to serve as the top Democrat on @HouseAgDems, where I get to help shape policy on behalf of America’s family farmers. Cheers to the farmers and producers who feed and fuel the world and to two centuries of House Ag! 🚜🧑‍🌾

This week, I met with three constituents my office recently assisted. Thanks to my team’s hard work, Rudy and RoseAnn finally received a check from the IRS after facing months of red tape, and Grant got his passport in time for an important trip. Rudy, RoseAnn and Grant – I’m so glad we could help! If you or your loved ones need help with a federal agency, my team is here to help at 651-846-2120.

President Trump’s war in Iran has sent gas prices skyrocketing.   It cost me $75 to fill up my Jeep (and it wasn’t even on empty) yesterday – that’s just unacceptable.   It’s time to end this war and bring down costs for Minnesota families.

It was great to see former Public Safety Director Pete Koerner yesterday and to present him with a Congressional Record for his 34 years of service to the Cottage Grove Police Department.     Pete, your work has made Cottage Grove a safer place to work, live and raise a family. Thank you for your service.

On Friday, President Trump banned CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House. This is a blatant breach of the First Amendment — and an attack on our democracy. Minnesotans deserve independent reporting on what the admin is doing, not censored puff pieces from its allies. As a former journalist myself, I stand with the press.

I’m proud to announce that my bill with @RepJimmyPanetta to crack down on illicit xylazine passed the House last week. This legislation will get illegal drugs off our streets and help law enforcement keep our communities safe. It’s a no-brainer – let’s get this bill passed in the Senate.

Cheryl and I are wishing a meaningful Yom Kippur and an easy fast to all those observing in Minnesota’s Second District and across our state. May this day of reflection and renewal bring peace to you and your loved ones. 🕊️🤍

Our veterans risked their lives for our freedoms – and it's our job to make sure they’re taken care of when they get home. This week I met with the Minnesota Veterans of Foreign Wars to discuss how Congress can best support Minnesota’s brave heroes.

Republicans sent us home early AGAIN. Why? Because they want to avoid a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth. This is the least effective Congress in history. When we come back in November, I’ll vote to impeach Minnesota’s national embarrassment — Pete Hegseth.

Today, I’m introducing my bill with @Ilhan to reimburse states for the financial damages caused by Trump’s ICE. As Minnesotans begin the long process of healing from Operation Metro Surge, it’s important we commit to holding this lawless administration accountable. That starts with this bill.

Today, I voted no on Republicans’ Russian sanctions bill because we need a clean bill that punishes Russia for its illegal operations in Ukraine, not one that hands President Trump even MORE sweeping tariff authority. At a time when Minnesotans are already struggling to pay their bills, I simply couldn’t in good faith give this President another inch of unchecked power.

Always a treat to see the @MNFarmBureau in DC! We had an important conversation about how legislation in Washington – like my bill that implements year-round E15 – can make all the difference for Minnesota’s family farmers. We already passed year-round E15 in the House, now let’s get it passed in the Senate and signed into law! 🌽⛽️

Since President Trump launched his illegal war in Iran, folks in Minnesota have spent an additional $1 billion on gas – that’s an extra $651 per family. That’s simply unacceptable. Minnesotans are fed up with having to foot the bill for President Trump’s recklessness. It’s time to end this war and bring down costs for hardworking families.

Yesterday, SCOTUS affirmed what we’ve known all along: that President Trump’s attempt to block mail-in voting is illegal. This decision is a win for our democracy.

It was great to meet with the @MNFarmersUnion this morning in DC. Together, we’re making sure Minnesota’s farmers have the resources and support they need to keep feeding and fueling our world. 🚜🧑‍🌾🌽
