The Trump Administration reduced training for ICE agents, hired unqualified people and did nothing to ensure ICE agents in Maine were wearing body cameras. They are responsible for what happened in Maine. It is completely unacceptable and must end now.

Blanche can't keep it straight. I said it once, I'll say it again: Acting AG Blanche isn't acting on behalf of the American people. He's ACTING like he's still Trump's personal lawyer.

At least ten people have died at the hands of ICE during enforcement actions since the start of President Trump's second term. Instead of changing course to save lives, the administration doubled down on their cruel, inhumane policies.

Less than two months ago, Blanche committed to meeting with survivors of Epstein's abuse. Today, all the sudden, he says he can't. What changed?

Ridiculous and un-American. The American people deserve a president who cares more about putting money in people’s pockets than he does about putting his face on people’s money. www.cbsnews.com/news/1-gold-...

This is unacceptable. We must stop this chaos. This week, ICE shot and killed two more people in the streets — people who weren't even subjects of investigation — and Republicans want to give them MORE money? Enough. I won't support it.

At least 4 people are dead this year because of ICE. Trump wants these reckless traffic stops to continue. Not one more penny for ICE and its lawlessness.

Great news! 28 acres of land with deep spiritual, cultural, and historical meaning are now in the hands of the Mattaponi Indian Tribe in King William County. The Rappahannock Tribe repatriated 704 acres of ancestral land at Fones Cliffs. Big wins for VA tribes. www.pilotonline.com/2026/07/13/m...

Trump and Republicans refuse to rein in ICE and CBP. These fatal shootings are why Democrats are pushing to enact commonsense reforms like deescalation training, body cameras, and accountability.

The 2020 election was not rigged. Everybody with an ounce of common sense recognizes that. But Trump is using the force of government to promote this lie again. So it is on every one of us to use our voices and our votes to reject Trump's delusional conspiracy theories.

Putting troops on the ground in Iran or on Kharg Island or in the region in a way that's going to endanger more lives is not something that the American people will support. The President has had no strategy for this war from the very beginning. It's been a failed effort.

In our history, we have never sent uniformed military to our polls. Not during World War II. Not after 9/11. The Protect Our Polls Act stops the President from using the uniformed military to interfere in elections.

Washington Post headline: Fatal ICE shooting has Maine city on edge: ‘Tomorrow it could be someone else’ Minnesotans know this heartbreak. From Minnesota to Texas to Maine, there must be accountability and an end to these killings.

The Election Assistance Commission exists for one reason: to help state and local election officials run secure, well-administered elections. This week, the President forced out every remaining commissioner — four months before the midterms.

Simply throwing more money at an out-of-control military operation is not strategy. It’s a recipe for a forever war.

My new bill with @warren.senate.gov & @trahan.house.gov would secure millions in emergency water system grants, so when disasters strike like the burst pipe in Haverhill, communities aren’t left on the hook or in harm’s way. It’ll mean faster action to keep towns safer and businesses open.

We will not let Todd Blanche dismiss or ignore Epstein survivors. In May, he told us he would meet with survivors whose private info was released by the Justice Department. That meeting still isn't scheduled. @vanhollen.senate.gov and I are demanding answers.

I strongly support EXIM. As the Senate Banking Committee and Congress work to reauthorize the bank, it’s critical for EXIM to be transparent and for there to be safeguards against potential corruption and potential conflicts of interest. I'm pressing for answers.

I cannot support a blank check for Trump's illegal war in Iran and fast-tracking deeply troubling and dangerous surveillance collaboration with Netanyahu’s government. I voted no.

This Russia sanctions bill is a one-two punch that's really going to put pressure on Putin. It comes at a time when there's real momentum on behalf of Ukraine. Russia's losing over 30,000 casualties a month in Ukraine. This is a real opportunity to get Putin to the table.

Almost five months ago, Donald Trump bypassed Congress to launch his illegal, reckless, and poorly thought-out war with Iran. American service members have died, American consumers and businesses have seen gas prices skyrocket, and yet Americans are less safe than they were before the war began.

70 million Americans rely on Social Security. But their monthly benefits will be cut by $450 in just six years. We cannot allow that to happen. Today, I introduced the PROMISE Act, a bipartisan measure that would finally begin the process to save Social Security and protect a critical lifeline.

Sen. Ossoff: If the President calls Georgia's senators illegitimate, he is calling Georgia's voters illegitimate. Donald Trump tried to commit voter fraud in Georgia when he badgered Brad Raffensperger to "find" him the exact number of votes he needed to win in a state he had lost.

Yesterday, the President claimed he was going to charge a 20% toll on traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, then backtracked. Despite asking Congress for billions to backfill the Iran war, it appears the Pentagon doesn’t know how it will use foreign funds to enforce a military blockade.
