During my questioning of Senator Jeff Sessions in Senate Judiciary yesterday, I brought up what President-elect Donald Trump said about Somali-Minnesotans during his visit to Minnesota, and I told Sen. Sessions that a teacher in St. Paul reached out to me after the election because her Somali-American students were anxious about the future. I also shared how we combat hateful rhetoric in Minnesota. | Former U.S. Senator Al Franken

Last night, I took to the Senate floor to share what I’ve heard from Minnesotans about the importance of Medicaid. I told a story about Brandon and his mom, Sheri, both from Burnsville. Brandon was born 15 weeks premature, weighing just one pound and thirteen and a half ounces. He was so small, his parents’ wedding rings could slide up his arm. Brandon was also born with cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus, which is a condition that causes fluid to collect in Brandon’s brain, resulting in brain dam

In Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I asked him a very clear question, which was if there was evidence that the Trump team communicated with the Russian government during the campaign, what would he do about it as attorney general? He didn’t answer my question, but he did say that he did not talk to the Russians. We now know that answer was false.

Since entering the Senate I’ve worked hard to make high-quality health care affordable and accessible to everyone, regardless of where you live. That’s why I’m going to keep fighting against the Senate Republican plan. The Senate must work on real solutions to the real problems people are facing, instead of dismantling our health care system in order to gift billions of dollars in tax breaks to the very richest few Americans. The current Senate Republican bill would hurt peoples' livelihood and

It is the obligation of elected officials to recognize injustice when they see it, and to stand in opposition to it. But time and time again, in hearings and in written responses to questions from me and my fellow members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, President Trump’s nominee for US Attorney General Jeff Sessions has demonstrated an inability to recognize injustice—whether it’s discrimination faced by LGBT people, discriminatory barriers to the ballot box, or violence against women.

After a lot of reflecting with my family over the Thanksgiving holiday, I was glad to continue my work in the Senate this week doing the job the people of Minnesota sent me here to do. There is so much to fight for, and on Monday in the Senate Education Committee I highlighted the need to fix the country’s student debt crisis. I’ve long made it a top priority to address college affordability and plan to keep fighting for our students and families. Then on Tuesday, I pressed the nominee to lead t

In defiance of the vast majority of Americans, Senate Republicans are trying yet again to rip health care away from millions of Americans. This effort, led by Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and Bill Cassidy, is quickly gaining steam, and it’s time to raise your voices in response. The new proposal would roll back nationwide protections for people with pre-existing conditions and make health care coverage unobtainable for many Americans. And on top of that, it would profoundly change how Medi

I believe that every child in this country should have access to affordable, quality health care. Period. But it seems that some of my Republican colleagues don’t agree.

Last week, after reportedly obsessing about how many people attended his inauguration, President Trump again claimed that he lost the popular vote because millions of undocumented immigrants cast illegal votes. Only this time the president got more specific. It wasn’t just millions of illegal votes—this time he said it was somewhere between 3 million and 5 million fraudulent votes. I wonder how he came up with 3 million illegal votes. Could it have anything to do with the fact that he lost by 2.
