There was a time in our nation’s history when we built big things, like I-90 right here in southern Minnesota. Back then, we taxed the wealthy and invested in infrastructure and small towns. We can do it again when we make billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share.

We absolutely should have zero tolerance for fraud in our public programs. But a blanket pause to Medicaid funding is not a serious attempt to go after fraud.

These reckless tariffs are a bad deal for southern MN. Right after Brad Finstad voted to keep these tariffs, I had a good conversation with farmers in New Ulm about how the tariffs are harming them. I promised them that a vote for Jake Johnson is a vote to end the tariffs.

Brad Finstad campaigned on the promise to make things cheaper, but then he went to Washington and voted for tariffs, wars, and healthcare cuts that are making life more expensive here in southern Minnesota.

I had a great time speaking with folks in Blue Earth and Nicollet counties last week about making life affordable and rebuilding the American Dream. We’ve got work to do!

One year ago today, we launched our campaign to bring a voice for working people back to Congress. From day one, we chose to do things a different way: actually meeting with voters, not taking money from corporations, and collecting signatures to get on the ballot.

Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day! Thank you to all the teachers and educators across southern Minnesota for your incredible dedication to our communities.

Just finished my 20th year in the classroom and it's a bittersweet moment. Looking forward to all the great things our students will go on to accomplish, and I'm also excited to spend the summer holding town halls and sharing how we're going to make life cheaper and easier for our working families.

I grew up with a dad who was a garbageman, a mom who was a meter reader, and 10 siblings. It was great to get to share my story in New Ulm this weekend. Thank you for having me!

I was happy to see the Minnesota Farm Bureau win an award recently for its great new partnership that gives medical students hands-on experience in our rural communities. It's a great program and exactly the kind of investment that we need to increase access to healthcare in southern Minnesota.

At least 17 people have died in ICE custody so far this year, part of President Trump's dramatic increase of immigration detention. "I have never seen anything like this, where I'm seeing ICE reporting out at least one death per week," says Setareh Ghandehari with @detentionwatchnetwork.org.

"Francesca Albanese just exposed the ugly truth: The New York Times ignored Palestinian rape testimonies for over a year. "She gave them a lengthy interview in February 2024. Nothing followed." — Ounka

Me: How can female staffers feel safe reporting sexual harassment: Mike Johnson: I mean, we we are looking at every potential avenue to tighten up the rules.... You may know this, I have two daughters who work on Capitol Hill, on committee staffs. Okay, very serious to me.
