“The authorizing language, The FASD Respect Act, has been a several years long bi-partisan effort led by Betty McCollum (D-MN) and Don Bacon (R-NE) in the House and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) in the Senate to address FASD on the national level and positively impact the lives of people across the country living with FASD and prenatal substance exposure.”

This proposal would strip healthcare coverage from 20,000 Minnesotans. Congresswoman McCollum offered critical updates on this harmful legislation and its far-reaching impact.”

“‘Let’s be clear, we are not referring to the magnets we have on our refrigerators for the coupon, recipe or the most recent school photo. Rare earth permanent magnets are essential to the automotive, aerospace and consumer electronic industries, as well as virtually all advanced defense capabilities. Almost every major defense system, from fighter jet engines, precision guidance munitions, military vehicles, radar jammers, satellite radios, power generators, and countless other national security applications require rare earth permanent magnets.’"

“‘The ugly truth of Donald Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ is that it strips away healthcare from 20,000 Minnesotans with disabilities, seniors, children, and working parents in Minnesota’s 4th Congressional District — that’s the equivalent of every resident of Stillwater losing their healthcare overnight,’ said Democratic Rep. Betty McCollum in a statement. ‘The ugly truth is that 45,000 Minnesotans will go hungry without the SNAP food assistance they rely on — the equivalent of every resident of Maplewood going to bed hungry and waking up hungry.’”

“Minnesota’s Democratic lawmakers, Reps. Betty McCollum, Ilhan Omar and Kelly Morrison, joined 183 other Democratic House members in an amicus brief that said that, regardless of whether the Supreme Court believes Trump’s birthright executive order is unconstitutional, Trump cannot violate the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which confers all children born in the United States have U.S. citizenship.”

“Placing permanent federal protections on the Boundary Waters could come in the form of legislation someday, but bills of that nature introduced this year by Smith and U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum, D-4th District, aren’t going anywhere in a Congress under GOP control.”

“To be clear: I strongly support an end to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As one of only 133 members of the House of Representatives to vote against authorizing the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, I have a record of opposing endless war. But an end to this war must accomplish two things: First, Ukraine must have security guarantees by their fellow democracies to ensure that they will never again face the horrific destruction wrought by Putin. Second, no agreement can include formal recognition by the U.S. that illegally seized territories belong to Russia. Unfortunately, Trump‘s reported plan fails on both accounts.”

“‘BioMADE’s announcement of Minnesota’s first in the nation pilot-scale biotechnology manufacturing facility is very exciting news,’ said Rep. Betty McCollum (MN-04). ‘BioMADE’s Maple Grove facility will ensure that Minnesota leads the nation in biotechnology manufacturing. This is an incredible opportunity for Minnesota companies to test and scale commercial biotechnology as we lead a revolution in biotechnology. It will also allow us to grow the biotechnology workforce of the future right here in Minnesota. As the Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, I am also keenly aware of the role that a robust biotechnology manufacturing sector will play in the defense of our nation. That is why I’ve been leading on making federal investments that are necessary to realize BioMADE’s vision to develop a robust, home grown biotechnology sector.’”

“Several Democrats responded with criticism over Dugan’s arrest. After White House adviser Stephen Miller accused Dugan of ‘extremely grave crimes,’ Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., said Dugan’s arrest is a ‘gravely serious and drastic move’ by the Trump administration that ‘threatens to breach’ a system of checks and balances. Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., said she shared Baldwin’s ‘serious concerns’ about Dugan’s arrest. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., said in a statement Dugan’s arrest by the FBI accounts for a ‘drastic escalation and dangerous new front in Trump’s authoritarian campaign.’ Sen. Lisa Blunt Rochester, D-Del., accused the Trump administration of ‘relentlessly attacking the judicial system to stifle opposition and get their way.’ Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., said Dugan’s arrest is ‘what happens in authoritarian countries.’ Sen. Amy Klobuchar said the incident ‘is a drastic move that threatens the rule of law.’”

“Residents had an opportunity to ask McCollum questions or make comments. Potential budget cuts to government health care, social services and academic research were on top of the residents’ minds. Immigration policy and recent enforcement activity were raised as a relevant topic of concern. More than 30% of nurses serving in the 61 Presbyterian Homes & Services (PHS) communities are immigrants. Most have arrived through the International Nurse Recruitment (INR) program, which helps hundreds of Filipino nurses find meaningful employment and immigrate legally to the U.S. along with their families. “
