“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.’”

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. “

“‘Republicans in Congress are failing to do their job to hold oversight hearings into the Secretary’s conduct and the conduct of President Trump’s national security team. They must do so immediately – our national security is at risk,’ McCollum said. ‘The time has come for Secretary Hegseth to resign.’”
