On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) stated that to fix the supply chain problems and get the economy moving, “we’ve got to make sure that we get the vaccines out, not just in our country, but all over the world.” Klobuchar also stated that another part of the solution is “immigration reform in areas like in my state, where, if you have shortages, getting those visas going again.” And that “Doing something about a path to citizenship and finally getting this done would be a major game-changer for our country. Because through the Trump years,...

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Cuomo Primetime,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) responded to concerns that she just wants Facebook to censor people on the right more and will end up hurting free speech with her push for greater regulation of the company by stating that someone shouting “fire” in a crowded theater “is not free speech, right? That is not protected speech.” Host Chris Cuomo asked, “So, the conceptual pushback is free speech, and your brothers and sisters on the right will say, you just want them to censor them more. That’s what this is all about for the left....

April Jones, the deputy legislative director and counsel for Klobuchar on tech and telecom issues, will be joining Apple as a senior government affairs policy counsel, according to Politico.

Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), who has helped craft the Democrats' latest voting rights bill, said on Sunday that it is evil to make it hard for people to vote. During an appearance on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart,” Klobuchar said the proposed Freedom to Vote Act will be a victory for all Americans, sharing the positive response it received from newspapers after being unveiled earlier this week. “But we've had rave reviews about the bill, positive editorials today about the substance of the bill in The New York Times, Washington Post. And for me, that was number...

WASHINGTON—Sen. Amy Klobuchar introduced a bill Thursday that would strip online platforms such as Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. of liability protections if their technology spreads misinformation about coronavirus vaccines or other public-health emergencies. The bill, which Ms. Klobuchar (D., Minn.) has previously telegraphed was in the works, would create an exception to the law known as Section 230 that shields internet platforms from lawsuits for content generated by their users and other third parties. At a congressional hearing last year, Big Tech executives signaled cautious support for modifying Section 230, a provision in the 1996 Communications Decency Act that...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that so-called “voting rights” could be included in the Democrats’ more expansive infrastructure package they were planning to pass with a simple majority vote using the reconciliation process. Klobuchar said, “We’ve seen a concerted effort across the country, you know this, Dana, over 400 bills introduced, 28 signed into law, including this really bad one in Georgia, that not only denies voters water when they’re standing in line but also reduces the run-off time to 28 days. And guess what? You have to register 29 days before.” She...

Controversy continues to roil this week’s upcoming Democratic presidential primary debate in Los Angeles amid an ongoing labor dispute, anger over the tightening qualification standards and discontent with Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez. The debate, which was originally slated to be held at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), was moved to Loyola Marymount University after AFSCME Local 3299 — the union representing more than 25,000 University of California service and patient technical care workers — and the state school forced UCLA to inform the Democrats and its media partners to abandon plans to host the debate at...

Of all the questions asked, words spoken, and ink spilled on the so-called “Capitol Siege” of January 6, 2021, none hold the key to the entire event quite like what Sen. Amy Klobuchar asked of Christopher Wray. The Democrat from Minnesota asked the Trump-appointed FBI Director: Did the federal government infiltrate any of the so-called “militia” organizations claimed to be responsible for planning and executing the Capitol Siege? Christopher Wray is able to uncomfortably weasel his way out of answering the question directly, partially because Klobuchar does him the courtesy of not asking him the question directly. Klobuchar instead asks...

Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” described the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill “like the Super Bowl of domestic terrorism.” Discussing a newly released U.S. Senate bipartisan report on January 6, Klobuchar said, “We have outlined what is common knowledge in our report about President Trump’s speech, about encouraging them to march down from the mall and the like. One reason I believe we need a 9/11 type commission and investigation is we felt our jurisdiction and goal was clear. We wanted to get immediate recommendations to help with funding, to help with getting bills...

Three Democratic U.S. senators introduced a bill that would limit Section 230, a law that shields online companies from liability over content posted by users, and make the companies more accountable when posts result in harm. Called the SAFE TECH Act, the bill would mark the latest effort to make social media companies like Alphabet Inc’s Google, Twitter Inc and Facebook Inc more accountable for “enabling cyber-stalking, targeted harassment, and discrimination on their platforms,” Senators Mark Warner, Mazie Hirono and Amy Klobuchar said in a statement. In the wake of the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol in Washington,...

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) this week claimed that President Trump is “trying to burn this country down on his way out” of office by not supporting the new coronavirus stimulus and government funding bill passed by Congress on Monday. In an appearance on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show Tuesday night, Klobuchar responded to the president’s remarks shared on Twitter earlier in the day, in which he called the $2.3 trillion package that includes stimulus checks of $600 to Americans “a disgrace,” adding that the payments should be increased to $2,000. The Minnesota senator and former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate told Maddow...

Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden should have picked Sen. Amy Klobuchar as an election running mate over Sen. Kamala Harris, The Federalist publisher Ben Domenech said on Monday. […] Domenech reacted to the appearance of Klobuchar, of Minnesota, on Fox News when she explained why Biden is leading Trump in battleground polls. Klobuchar said: “He is ahead in so many states in the Midwest. Why? One: he is leading with manufacturing in a big way and buying America.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar on Sunday said the Senate should wait until after the presidential election to move on the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court -- not just because of how close the nomination is to the election, as Democrats have said in recent weeks, but also for "safety" reasons after multiple Republican senators tested positive for the coronavirus. Klobuchar, D-Minn., made the comments in a conversation with Fox News' Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday." Wallace asked Klobuchar if Democrats would try to use the Republicans coronavirus tests to delay Barrett's confirmation despite the fact...

The judge assigned to the cases of the four police officers charged with the killing of George Floyd once dismissed charges faced by organizers of a massive Black Lives Matter protest. In 2015, Judge Peter A. Cahill dismissed misdemeanor charges faced by 11 organizers of the protest which took place at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, in December 2014. Cahill's ruling was described as an "an extremely significant decision for free speech" by Jordan Kushner, who represented four of the 11 organizers. One organizer, Nekima Levy-Pounds, said after the decision: "We stand vindicated today." After graduating from the...
