I will vote NO on DHS funding today.

ICE, CBP, and DHS agents have repeatedly violated Minnesotans' civil rights during President Trump's invasion and occupation of our state.

I refuse to fund an agency that violates the law with impunity.

My name is Mary Peltola, and I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight for fish, family, and freedom – and that begins with fixing the rigged system in DC that’s shutting down Alaska.

We need systemic change if we're going to lower costs, save our fisheries, and fill our homes with abundance again.

Used up some of the last pieces of lit for Louis McNutt in Rockville last night and Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger in Woodbury this afternoon. Looking forward to great nights for both of them! #mnleg

House Republicans just announced that they're cancelling votes next week. They're not even pretending to be interested in ending the health care crisis and government shutdown they created!

Betty McCollum: Republican bill on energy and water works against Minnesota interests "I will fight to defend these critical investments because Minnesotans deserve better," U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum writes.

Republicans’ Energy and Water bill would result in higher utility costs and clean-energy job losses across Minnesota. Read my op-Ed:

Great night to join Matt Norris talk with his constituents in Blaine about his work to prevent fraud, help people afford homes, keep people safe, and bring state funding to Blaine and Lexington. #mnleg

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.

Senator Tillis had the audacity to tell the truth about the devastating cuts to Medicaid and rural hospitals so they threatened a primary against him. This is the party of Trump. And mark my words - rubber stamping this bill will bring them down.

Secretary Hegseth cannot answer a simple question about his own department's budget.

House Democrats are launching a longshot procedural move to prevent safety net cuts The discharge petition is meant to pressure Republicans as they assemble their party-line megabill.

If House Republicans are truly concerned about cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, they have an opportunity to do something about it. They can join me and my Democratic colleagues by forcing a vote to make these cuts dead on arrival in the House. All it would take is four Republicans.

Medicaid keeps Minnesota's families safe, healthy, and financially secure — but Republicans are trying to make the largest cut to Medicaid in American history to pass massive tax cuts for billionaires. I'll always fight against Republican efforts to take away Minnesotans' healthcare.

I’m hearing a lot of people express concerns about the Democratic response to President Trump’s State of the Union last night.
