Great to join Mayor Frey to meet with local business owners today. So many Minnesota small businesses have been hurt by the ICE surge. But now the ICE is (literally) melting, and it's time to get out and show them our support statewide

From trying to coverup the Epstein files to abandoning workers being harassed at work, Trump is using the federal government to protect abusers. @pressley.house.gov & I are fighting back with our Be HEARD Act—legislation to protect workers from harassment & discrimination.

We’re not ready for the impact AI is going to have on our workforce. Every week in the Senate, I am working to make sure we’re building an economy that can withstand these massive upheavals.

This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own. And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

Thinking of the families and loved ones of Arielle, Brian, and Alexandria, and the entire Michigan State community that was impacted by the horrific shooting three years ago. We must honor their legacy and all victims of gun violence by continuing to fight to make change. #spartanstrong

Majorities in the Senate and the House voted to overturn Trump’s tariffs on Canada – and most Americans disapprove of them too. Trump should listen to Congress and the American people and sign the resolution to revoke these cost-raising tariffs.

This is good news, but why did we go through this in the first place? Because Donald Trump had a tantrum? He should keep his ego out of our state and let New Jersey get back to work.

$38.3 billion for a dumb and cruel immigration policy that doesn’t work. The next time they tell you we don’t have money for healthcare or education or actual public safety, remember it’s going to this absolute waste.

Trump cut Medicaid & SNAP so he could use that money to warehouse millions of people who, according to DHS’s own numbers, pose no threat to public safety. It's inhumane & a waste of your taxpayer money. We need to claw back these funds & put an end to their prison camps.

So appreciated being able to hear from everyone at @seattlechildrens.org, UW, and @fredhutch.org today. The research that NIH funds here & across the country delivers real breakthroughs, yes. But also hope for patients and kids like Camden. I'll always fight to protect funding for that hope.

DOJ is spying on lawmakers who are reading through the Epstein files. If they can do that to members of Congress, imagine what they are doing to you. This is Trump’s surveillance state.

Republicans had two weeks to work with us to overhaul ICE. Yet, they chose to shut down DHS instead. They can’t keep asking us to ignore what we’ve seen with our own eyes. ICE needs a top-to-bottom overhaul to stop them from terrorizing our communities.

Thanks to Soni Guzman Stokes, Keith Stokes, RI Black Heritage Society & all who joined today's Black History Month celebration. Fascinating to learn more about the Black experience in RI during the Gilded Age & how Black RIers helped shape civil rights & social change nationwide.

Because of Republicans, ICE now has a larger budget than the CDC. It has a larger budget than OSHA, the FDA, the EPA, and NOAA. We don’t need Republicans to give ICE even more money, we need them to come to the table to make reforms to ICE—which a majority of Americans want.

Excellent, but lost the punchline: slowing clean energy drives the grid to fossil; higher-cost fossil drives money from customers to Trump donors.

Instead of cutting cancer and Alzheimer’s research by nearly half like Trump wanted—I secured a more than $415 million increase to fund NIH and lifesaving medical research. I said I would tear up Trump's budget and write a new one and that's exactly what I did.

In just one year of RFK Jr, we’ve seen an unprecedented spike in measles cases and a rapid decline of our scientific reputation across the globe. Americans will die because of his poor leadership.

From trying to jail sitting members of Congress who said U.S. troops must follow the law by refusing illegal orders... to killing Americans for protesting... and now trying to prevent MILLIONS of Americans from voting... For Trump, this has always been about control and power.

Minnesotans are going to be reeling from this for a long time. Yes, it seems they’re in retreat. But that doesn’t fix the damage they’ve brought upon us. When this is all over, we’re going to be left figuring out how to put our state back together again.

This week, I spoke with VA community college leaders. Key provisions of my bill to expand Pell Grants to cover high-quality, short-term job training programs were signed into law, and it was great to discuss ways to build on this to help Virginians access good-paying jobs.

Trump’s 1st year in office had the worst job growth this decade, excluding COVID. In that same year, the 1% got a TRILLION dollars in tax cuts, the Trump family got $1.4 BILLION richer, & Americans paid $192 BILLION in tariff-related costs. Working people are getting fleeced.

It is literally zero surprise that they knew their hand-picked climate deniers weren’t putting out real science. Their nonsense has never been real, but part of a fraudulent propaganda campaign, designed by fossil fuel to protect its “free-to-pollute” business model.

When people are in government custody, we are responsible for their care. 30+ people have died in ICE detention since President Trump took office. They must answer for it.
