Our South Asian and Hindu neighbors are hurting, thanks to an ongoing rise in hateful, bigoted rhetoric toward their communities. Sunday’s failed mass shooting at Sri Venkateswara Swami (Balaji) Temple in IL reveals just how real and terrifying the problem has become.

CharacterAI was dangerous long before its bankruptcy. Its chatbots have been credibly accused of exposing young people to inappropriate content, or simulating sex with child accounts. I won't let the harm continue by leaving Minnesotans' data unprotected.

Jeffrey Epstein's crimes were beyond heinous, but we still don't have the full picture - Trump's DOJ has dragged its heels at every turn. I'm supporting a new bill that would state AGs more power to deliver the transparency the American people deserve. ag.state.mn.us/Office/Commun…

It’s so absurd that it’s hard to believe: a 63-year-old Michigan coal plant was set to shut down, with its owners, the community, and defenders of the environment all in agreement. But on the eve of the plant’s closure, the Trump administration ordered the owners to keep it open.

These are just more examples of Trump doing whatever he can to protect his fossil fuel buddies—at the expense of the environment, communities, and even private businesses. I hope he gets the message loud and clear: We won’t stand for it.
