The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program—commonly known as DACA—protects individuals who were brought to the United States as children and grew up here. Often called Dreamers, these people are American in every single way except for their immigration status. Minnesota is home to more than 6,000 Dreamers. Dreamers care deeply about this country, work hard, and are doing all they can to build a good life in America. We’ve already invested in them through education, and it makes no sense

Al Franken resigns: A timeline of his political history

I took to the Senate floor today to remember the victims of the recent shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Not everyone is welcomed by their family and their friends with acceptance and love. Even today, not everyone is able to walk down the street holding the hand of their loved one without fear. For those in search of solidarity and community, for those in search of safety, Pulse provided refuge. Regrettably, even today, that refuge is sorely needed. Despite long overdue victories, lea

I’ve been talking to a lot of people in Minnesota who have health insurance thanks to the Affordable Care Act, or whose lives were changed by the protections in the ACA that benefit every American. And, frankly, they are scared about the prospect of repeal. These are hardworking people for whom this is life or death, and if their health insurance is taken away, they don’t know what they’re going to do. So last night, on their behalf, I took to the Senate floor to make one request for my Republic

Today, I took to the Senate floor to talk about how the Republican health care bill is a ploy to give tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans by taking care away from millions of people, rather than an actual policy to improve people’s access to affordable and quality insurance coverage. The Republican plan covers fewer people, costs too many people more money, and provides worse coverage. And it’s being sold by misleading the public on each of those points. This bill would take us back in time m

Democrats call for Al Franken’s resignation

Last week, after reportedly obsessing about how many people attended his inauguration, President Trump again claimed that he lost the popular vote because millions of undocumented immigrants cast illegal votes. Only this time the president got more specific. It wasn’t just millions of illegal votes—this time he said it was somewhere between 3 million and 5 million fraudulent votes. I wonder how he came up with 3 million illegal votes. Could it have anything to do with the fact that he lost by 2.
