Non-compete agreements are used by employers to force workers to stay with their companies. It hurts workers, stifles competition and makes our economy less dynamic.

This rule empowers American workers and will build a stronger economy for millions of families.

Some 4 million more American workers will now get paid overtime when they work for more than 40 hours a week, thanks to President Biden.
 
That means that if you are a lower-paid salaried worker, you can get overtime just like hourly workers do.

That’s really good news.

The Minnesota Supreme Court has a female majority (again!).

Incoming Justices Theodora Gaïtas and Sarah Hennesy are extremely qualified and I know they will serve Minnesota well while on the bench.

Congratulations, Justices!

Black communities have long been on the front lines of fighting climate change. Sabathani Community Center has been working to create a more equitable and sustainable South Minneapolis community for 57 years. I was honored to celebrate Earth Day alongside them.

This is a huge victory for the autoworkers in Chattanooga and across the country.

Unions built this country, and everyone should be able to join one. Congrats to the VW workers who just made history in the South!

First responders work tirelessly to support our communities in times of crisis.
 
Today, Angie Craig, Senator Amy Klobuchar and I announced funding for a first responder training facility to ensure they have the proper training to keep our communities safe.

Let me be extremely clear: this happened because Roe was overturned.

A woman miscarried in the lobby of an emergency room (the place that was supposed to help her) because Republicans’ abortion bans caused so much fear and confusion for doctors.

Archie used to take our kids to the Boundary Waters every summer. It was a yearly reminder of how lucky we are to be able to enjoy the natural resources Minnesota has to offer.

On Earth Day, let’s do our part to take care of our planet so future generations can enjoy it, too.

You're going to see a lot of takes about this new Title IX rule, but everyone deserves a safe, welcoming place to go to school and that includes LGBTQ+ students.

Title IX paved the way for greater equality in schools. Students deserve to learn without fear of harassment or discrimination based on sex.

I'm glad the Administration overturned Betsy DeVos's rules and updated Title IX to better protect students’ vital civil rights.

BREAKING: Cummins was selected for a big investment by the Biden Administration to expand its clean energy manufacturing in Fridley.

It will support nearly 2,000 jobs.

When it comes to transitioning to a clean energy economy, we can lead or follow. Minnesota is going to lead.
