U.S. Senator Al Franken

Not encouraging anyone to waste more time on Twitter when you could be doorknocking, but I'll be tweeting from @AlFranken, so be sure to follow me there. But seriously, get off Twitter and talk to some voters. Go! Stop reading. This website is poison.

When Judge Brett Kavanaugh appears before the Senate Judiciary Committee, I wish I could be there. Because I have some questions I’d love to see him answer. Here they are: facebook.com/94548078887113…

Happy birthday to Joe, my oldest grandson, who turned five yesterday. You've brought Franni and me more joy than I can say.

It’s Franni Franken here. You don’t normally see me posting things to this, but today is Al’s 67th birthday. And I want to wish him happy birthday and share with you all a little bit about how much he’s meant to me in the 42 years we’ve been married. facebook.com/senatoralfrank…

It’s #TeacherAppreciationDay, and I want to tell you about my all-time favorite teacher, Mrs. Molin. facebook.com/senatoralfrank…

What happened with Cambridge Analytica wasn’t an accident. It was the exploitation of Facebook’s business model. This business model made Facebook lots of money. But it left users vulnerable to having their data taken. My remarks at Privacy Xchange here: youtube.com/watch?v=hgsnjE…

Tomorrow I’ll be speaking at the Privacy XChange conference in Lisbon about the need for stronger privacy laws. The speech will be at 7:30 a.m. EST on Tuesday, and you can watch the livestream at the link here: youtu.be/hgsnjEjjx6w

I’m a strong believer that service dogs provide tremendous benefits to veterans with PTSD because I’ve met veterans whose lives have been changed dramatically for the better by their canine companions. Hope you’ll read more here: facebook.com/senatoralfrank…

“Lack of candor.” That’s one of the reasons AG Sessions used to justify his decision to fire former FBI Dep. Dir. Andrew McCabe. Ironic bc as you may recall, Jeff Sessions has demonstrated a lack of candor—under oath—about his own interactions w/ Russians. facebook.com/senatoralfrank…

As a father of two and a grandfather of three, I cannot imagine the heartache and the pain endured by the families who lost loved ones at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL. I penned my full thoughts here, & I hope you'll give it a read: facebook.com/senatoralfrank…

Kudos to my friend Senator @JeffFlake, who delivered a brilliant speech today underscoring how dangerous Trump's assault on the truth is to America and the entire world. cbsnews.com/live-news/jeff…

Tina Smith is a dedicated public servant who has worked tirelessly on behalf of Minnesotans. I spoke with her last night, and I know she'll be an effective U.S. senator who brings people together to get things done. I'll be following @SenTinaSmith. Hope you do too. twitter.com/sentinasmith/s…

Merry Christmas to those who are celebrating in Minnesota and around the world, with love from our family to yours.

Working on behalf of Minnesotans in the United States Senate has been the honor of my life. I'm taking to the Senate floor to give my final speech. facebook.com/senatoralfrank…

During my time in the Senate, I’ve fought hard to guard net neutrality, beat back media consolidation, and protect Americans’ fundamental right to privacy. I’m taking to the Senate floor shortly to talk about this work.

I'm taking to the Senate floor to give the first of what will be a series of final speeches, this one focused on my work to improve education on behalf of Minnesotans and all Americans. facebook.com/senatoralfrank…

Tina Smith will make an excellent United States Senator. She is a dedicated public servant who’s worked tirelessly on behalf of Minnesotans, and Governor Dayton couldn't have made a better choice for this job. facebook.com/senatoralfrank…

Serving in the United States Senate has been the great honor of my life. Full floor speech here: facebook.com/senatoralfrank…

Senator Franken is talking with his family at this time and plans to make an announcement in D.C. tomorrow. Any reports of a final decision are inaccurate.
