Unconscionable acts of violence should have no place in our country.

The U.S. posture towards the eradication of drugs has caused immeasurable damage across our hemisphere. It has led to massive forced displacement, environmental devastation, violence, and human rights violations.

Congress has not declared war on Venezuela, or Tren de Aragua, and the mere designation of a group as a terrorist organization does not give any President carte blanche to ignore Congress’s clear Constitutional authority on matters of war…

Today, we honor two beautiful souls. An 8 year old and 10 year old lost their lives to senseless gun violence at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis last week. My heart is shattered for all the families impacted by this horrific…

And yes, as a community, it is important for us to say something when we see something, when somebody is exhibiting signs that there could be a problem ahead.

It is important for us to make sure that we are offering a slew of solutions.

It is time for us to come together and figure out what the solutions are so that there are no more angels in our communities.

These people are all over the place because they want to deflect from the reality, which is that there was someone who came into that school through the window and assassinated two beautiful angels as they prayed and put 214 other children…

A small group, a majority living outside Minneapolis, met privately to overturn the will of Minneapolis delegates who volunteered, organized, and participated in a months-long DFL process. Unacceptable.

It is inexcusable to overturn the DFL endorsement from Omar Fateh.

Instead of offering safety, this administration is tearing families apart and sending people to countries they have no ties to. There is nothing just about this process. It is ICE using its power to punish and cover up its mistakes.

What we are witnessing is the government being weaponized against vulnerable people, and it is disgraceful. We need an immigration system that treats people with dignity, not one that destroys lives for political gain.

It is inexcusable to overturn the results weeks after the convention because board members did not like the outcome.

It is our policies that are actively responsible for sanctions, for militarization, for exploitation, and it is up to us to make sure that we are lifting our voices collectively to say, ‘No, there is another way.’

We are done letting fossil fuel executives write the rules while our communities pay the price.

The End Polluter Welfare Act will finally hold polluters accountable and eliminate these harmful subsidies once and for all.

The genocide of the people of Gaza continues as members of Congress vote to fund Israel’s defensive and offensive military capabilities. This is immoral and no amount of excuses will ever make it ok.

I rise today to, once again, call on the United States to join the treaty on the prohibition of nuclear weapons and for all of the world's nuclear armed powers to adopt policies of mutual disarmament and abolition. In a few short weeks we…

The public wants all the information related to Epstein and they want full justice for the victims.

everyone should understand why they are now calling for unsealing the jury testimony: because it will only relate to Epstein and Maxwell.

What ICE did to these men is a flagrant violation of international law and basic human decency.

ICE is beyond reform and should be abolished. We need to start imagining what real justice and humane immigration policy actually looks like.

one of the most cruel, immoral pieces of legislation that Congress has ever voted on.

Republicans have passed the most dangerous legislation of our lifetimes.

I rise today to recognize John and Amy Higgins and their work to host the Fourth Annual Lake of the Isles Pencil Sharpening. In 2022, after high winds damaged a 180-year-old oak tree near the historic Bull Higgins house, John and Amy…
