Sen. Cramer To Return To Washington, D.C. Monday With A Light Schedule After Concussion and Brain Bleed – KVRR Local News
BISMARCK, N.D. (KVRR) — North Dakota’s junior U.S. Senator, Kevin Cramer, plans to return to work on Monday after suffering a concussion, seizure and slight brain bleed last weekend.
In an update on social media, Cramer says he will keep his schedule light and intends to remain in Washington for most of the week.
The Republican congressman says he is feeling much better thanks to care from his wife, Kris, and the medical professionals at Sanford Health.
He will return to Bismarck at the end of the week for another CT scan, a checkup and to get the staples removed from his head.
One week ago, Cramer slipped on ice at his Bismarck home while walking down a hill to his dock and fell hard.
He says he didn’t remember anything from the fall until after arriving at Sanford Health with his wife, Kris.
Cramer is in his second term in the U.S. Senate after winning re-election in 2024. He served three terms in the U.S. House.
He previously served for a decade on North Dakota’s Public Service Commission and also served for a time as the state’s Economic Development Director and Tourism Director.

Trae Stephens: Silicon Valley and Washington Must Build Together
February 27, 2026, was a flash point in the cold war between Silicon Valley and Washington, D.C.
The AI giant Anthropic had drawn a red line with the Pentagon, forbidding the military from using its product for autonomous weapons or the mass surveillance of Americans. The Pentagon retaliated by ending their contract and designating Anthropic a supply-chain risk. Anthropic has since sued to overturn this designation.
The feud-turned-legal battle is an acute example of a long-festering dynamic: technologists who want control over the use of their creations and who do not trust the government to understand or regulate their products, and policymakers wary of an unelected tech oligarchy that has become its own power center in American society.
Trae Stephens is no stranger to this dynamic.

(North Dakota Monitor) – North Dakota will send 60 National Guard members to Washington, D.C., starting in April, for an estimated three months to help police the city.
The move is in support of President Donald Trump’s August executive order declaring an emergency in D.C. The president said assistance from states is necessary to address what he described as rampant crime in the nation’s capital.
“Safeguarding the citizens, federal workers and elected leaders in our nation’s capital is a matter of national security, and we appreciate these Soldiers volunteering for this important mission,” Gov. Kelly Armstrong said.
Most of the 60 North Dakota members will come from the 131st Military Police Battalion, based in Bismarck, according to the announcement.
