Todd Blanche (Trump’s personal lawyer) has vowed to ban abortion nationwide, propped up Trump’s DOJ slush fund and refused to meet with Epstein survivors. Today, Republicans advanced his confirmation to AG. This man is deeply unfit to serve — every Senator should vote no on his confirmation.

Minnesota’s public safety officers work every day to keep our communities safe, and they deserve a training facility that equips them to do their jobs safely and effectively – that’s the FiRST Center.

The Trump Admin claims they’re “Making Education Great Again.” The reality? More red tape, wasted tax dollars and a growing backlog of unresolved and unanswered cases. Minnesotans deserve better. We want answers. craig.house.gov/media/press-...

🧵The wildfires in the Boundary Waters were preventable. Last year, a $10 million grant for wildfire prevention efforts passed President Trump’s desk. He let DOGE cut it.

Well, folks, it’s been a busy summer here in Congress. Here are just a few bills I’ve been working on lately!

The Trump Admin just quietly cut $3.6 billion in prescription drug assistance for seniors. As a result, millions of Americans 65+ will now face higher Medicare drug premiums next year. We will fight back. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/b...

Trump Will End Subsidies for Medicare Drug Premiums

Millions of older Americans could pay more for their prescription drug coverage next year.

Union labor built this country – and MN union workers continue to play a key role in supporting and growing our state’s economy. Yesterday, I was proud to host my inaugural unsung union heroes recognition event in Burnsville to honor labor leaders in #MN02.

Shut down Dilley.

Minnesota — we need your help. My constituent Edward Hanton has been missing for 5 days and his family is desperately searching for him. They believe he may be headed towards Superior, WI. If you see Ed, or a green Honda CR-V with a MN license plate # PSH740, please call 911 immediately.

I’m joining my House Democratic colleagues in an effort to force Speaker Johnson to bring the American Dream and Promise Act to a vote. It’s time for comprehensive immigration reform in this country and it starts with a pathway to citizenship for our Dreamers. Let’s get it done.

ICE’s terror has touched families everywhere – including in the classroom.   Students deserve to learn without the fear of being traumatized by ICE. I’m proud to join Rep. Garcia in introducing legislation that would help schools maintain trauma-informed learning environments.

It was great to see the Midwest Council on Ag in Washington to discuss how we can continue our work to support farmers across the Midwest! We know agriculture is the backbone of our economy – and together, we’ll keep fighting for Minnesota’s family farmers and producers. 🐷🐓🚜🌾🌽

Our work is better when it’s done together – that's why farm cooperatives are vital to our ag economy. It was great to meet with the folks at the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives to discuss how we can make sure Minnesota’s farm co-ops get the support they need!

Minnesota is losing patience with President Trump’s chaos. Our farmers and producers don’t want handouts. They want markets, healthcare and long-term solutions — and so do most Americans. Read my MSNOW op-ed: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Opinion | America’s farmers are losing patience with Trump’s economic whiplash

Today, I voted with every House Democrat once again to end President Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Enough is enough.

Both times I have met with Andrea, it has been her resilience that has struck me the most. Now, she’s sharing her story with the world. Andrea, you continue to amaze me, and I’ll do everything in my power to ensure you get to stay in MN where you belong. minnesotareformer.com/2026/07/22/i...

Today, House Republicans put forward their third disastrous budget plan, which included: ❌ $10 billion in funding for Trump’s voter-suppression sham.   ❌ $73 billion in funding for his war of choice in Iran. ❌ $0 to lower costs for hardworking Minnesotans.  I voted no.

Canada has been an integral partner in fighting the BWCA wildfires and ensuring the safety of Minnesotans up North. In return, Trump has treated them terribly. Today, I sat face-to-face with Trump’s hand-picked Forest Service Chief and said to Canada what the admin refuses to: thank you.

🧵Hemp has grown into a nearly $30 billion industry, supporting local economies across our country. The federal hemp ban scheduled for this November would deal a fatal blow to responsible hemp businesses in Minnesota and beyond.

My statement on the National Defense Authorization Act:

Republicans are once again trying to rig our elections, this time under the guise of a stock trading ban (that doesn’t even work). Not only does it permit Congress to inside trade, it exempts the President (who has traded more stock than the entirety of Congress combined) from any regulatory action.

In another disappointing, yet unsurprising, display of corruption: Trump is selling Wall Street early access to his Truth Social posts for hundreds of thousands of dollars. And where will that money go? Straight into his pocket.   This is a grift. craig.house.gov/media/press-...

Rep. Angie Craig Demands DOJ and SEC Investigate Trump's Insider Trading Subscription Service, “Truth API”

Tariffs haven’t worked to lower costs for Minnesotans and they won’t work to put out wildfires. Instead of adding more tariffs that raise the cost of living, why not thank the Canadian search and rescue crews that worked alongside MN and U.S. Forest Service to save the lives of 15 MN kids last week?

Congress is back in session this week, and House Republicans are trying to pass yet another disastrous budget with no funding for health care, schools or food assistance programs. What it does include? $10 billion for Trump’s election-rigging scheme. Hell no.

I am heartbroken to hear of the loss of two American servicemembers killed in the line of duty in Jordan, and am praying for the safe return of the one still missing. I am holding their families and loved ones in our hearts during this incredibly difficult time. This war must end.

A few weeks ago, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting with my constituent, Alexandra, on her trip to Washington. Alexandra, thanks for your visit. It’s young leaders like you who bring me hope for the next generation. You’ve got a bright future ahead! www.hometownsource.com/sun_thisweek...

🧵Six years ago we lost a colleague, a champion of civil rights and my friend, John Lewis. Together, we introduced legislation to ban discrimination in the adoption process, so LGBTQ+ families like mine can provide kids a loving home.
