The biggest wealth transfer in U.S. history is happening—at our expense.

JD Vance cast the tie-breaking vote to rip health care from millions and hand tax cuts to billionaires.

They’re not even hiding it.

It costs taxpayers $89,425 to incarcerate one person at Trump’s “Alligator Alcatraz” per year.

That’s more than what 95% of Americans spend on housing and food.

Republican priorities: Waste tax dollars torturing immigrants, while cutting support for working class families.

Stop, your reasoning is why Democrats lose. Focus on fighting the Republicans.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Deseret News condemns Lee’s posts about Minnesota shooting The editorial board of the Utah-based publication said the Utah senator cast a “poor light”’ on the Beehive State.

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

Former Vice-President Kamala Harris:

“United States Senator Alex Padilla was representing the millions of Californians who are demanding answers to this Administration's actions in Southern California.

This is a shameful and stunning abuse of power.”

The National Guard and Marines are in Los Angeles, CA to "liberate the city from socialists and burdensome leadership"? Isn't that the definition of a coup?

ICE agents or bounty hunters?

A raid at Home Depot on Wilshire in Los Angeles earlier today.

What’s disturbing is that they’re wearing masks and vests you could buy on Amazon. They’re in unmarked cars, and I don’t see any IDs on the officers — regular SUVs with standard plates.

I just launched a new initiative to develop and implement agriculture-focused workforce training programs.

As our farmers face historic uncertainty with tariffs, we’re making sure the next generation of Minnesota farmers have the resources they need to feed the world.

Canadians have cooled on US travel Mexico is looking like a much better option.

Canadians make up the largest proportion—nearly 28 percent—of international travelers visiting Florida. They also comprise the largest number of international visitors for the entire United States.

But that comfortable relationship may be taking a turn.
