On Veterans Day, I'm thinking of all the brave men and women who served our country. We owe them our profound gratitude for their service and their sacrifice. Today we honor the patriotism, courage, and selflessness that define our armed forces.
My husband is an Army combat veteran and we both come from families with long lines of military service, so I understand and honor the sacrifies that family members make in service to our country.
I could not be more proud to serve on the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, and I will work every day to ensure that our veterans have the care and the resources they have earned. Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸

Tuesday night was our first election night without Melissa Hortman. Her presence was deeply missed. Thinking of her today, and how proud she would be of yesterday's results. We'll continue to honor her legacy by endeavoring to follow her example of leading with humility and compassion and fighting with a fierce devotion to the people of Minnesota.❤️
STATE RECORD: More Minnesotans (2.8 million!) voted in midterm election than ever before, according to MN Secretary of State’s office.

Yesterday, Americans chose unity. They chose democracy. They chose community and hope over hate and corruption.
As I reflect on everything we've been through over the last two years, I feel grief for all of the loss and all of the cruelty, but I also feel incredibly hopeful about the future.
At every turn, we rejected the Trump administration's attempts to break us and turn us against each other. We showed the world how strong, and resilient, and patriotic we are. I am so proud to be a Minnesotan and to represent our state in Congress.
Americans deserve better than what we've endured over the last two years. I look forward to bringing Minnesotans' kindness, compassion, courage, love of country, and love of neighbor back to DC.
Let's get to work! 💙🩵
Trump and his Republican majorities are creating a healthcare catastrophe. Tens of millions of Americans are losing their health insurance, and costs are going through the roof.
This is unacceptable. We need change and a new path forward
A sharp reversal in federal policy under President Donald Trump is unraveling years of health coverage gains and leaving millions of working-age Americans without health insurance. It's a shift setting the stage for a long-term public health crisis, according to a new report by The Commonwealth Fund.

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.
Trump and his corrupt administration will stop at nothing to sell the American people out to enrich their buddies. He does not care about our children, their health, or well-being.
The corruption never ends. Congress appropriated this $86 million for teen pregnancy prevention efforts.
The Trump Administration took the funding and gave it to a company with ties to HHS officials -- even though it has nothing to do with teen pregnancy or reproductive health.
The Trump administration has diverted $86 million in teen pregnancy prevention funds from local programs to an AI-led firm with ties to a top HHS official.
Trump said the DOJ would settle claims with victims of the base's contaminated water if the GOP wins the midterms. "If we don't win, there's no money." https://t.co/CEj4HUzZKM
Absolutely reprehensible. I met with veterans this morning who told me they're disgusted by this statement from the president.
Our servicemembers put their lives on the line for our country and we must honor our contract to care for them. Threatening to take that away based on the results of an election is un-American.
Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."
Pennsylvania health officials issue an alert to doctors about an increase in measles infections in pregnant women, as well as a concerning rise in congenital measles — a disease that’s rarely, if ever, seen in the U.S. https://t.co/hLENSXeHOS
us special envoy steve witkoff to president putin: “you talk so much about my president, president trump, being a humanitarian. you are a humanitarian also, sir, and i salute that.”
truly hard to watch.
Gas prices are up. Rent is higher. Food is more expensive. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing.
They continue to tell you not to believe what you're seeing with your own eyes.
