Good afternoon.
House Republicans just wasted another week in Washington with no legislation to show for it that would address our shrinking economy or rising cost of living.
Instead, they launched a series of attacks on a national park, an endangered species, and the ability of states to set strong standards to protect the air that we breathe.
SAINT PAUL, Minn. — On Thursday afternoon, the U.S. Forest Service notified Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) permit holders that they will no longer be able to collect permits at two of their busiest ranger stations—the Kawishiwi Ranger Station in Ely and the Gunflint Station in Grand Marais.

SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Congresswoman Betty McCollum, Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, issued the following statement after news reports of another improper Signal group chat involving Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth:
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 1526, the No Rogue Rulings Act of 2025.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or the SAVE Act, which does nothing to protect voting rights.
Ms. Speaker, I voted in opposition to H.R. 1048 because, if enacted as written, it would place burdensome, duplicative, and potentially harmful requirements upon our nation’s institutions of higher education, without significantly improving our national security.
Mr. Speaker, the Republican’s Reckless Budget Scheme is back on the House floor today, proposing the same devastating cuts to our families and communities in exchange for massive tax breaks for Elon Musk, President Trump, and their billionaire buddies.
I am joining every Democrat in the House and Senate in opposing this resolution.
