I delivered Georgetown's Whittington lecture to talk about my positive vision for my party based on opportunity, security, & justice. Young Americans are working harder than ever and still feel they're falling behind their parents.

Noem calls legal Haitians leeches. They win in court. “The Haitian plaintiffs include a neuroscientist researching Alzheimer’s, a bank’s software engineer, a lab assistant in toxicology, a college economics major and a nurse. No leeches joined the suit.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i is one of Hawaii's official languages, but past teaching bans and misguided policies nearly led to its extinction. Through perseverance, Hawaii's communities have revitalized the language, but we must continue working to preserve and protect it. E ola mau ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi!

Yesterday, the last nuclear arms treaty between the United States and Russia expired, opening the door to nuclear build-up, decreased trust among nuclear powers, and less stability. The admin needs to focus on new talks to preserve nuclear stability, before the world becomes even more dangerous.

Today, the Gateway Tunnel Project goes "shovels down" and 1,000 workers lose their jobs all because of Trump. Let me tell you why we must restore funding asap.

A good step for ICE accountability — after raising hell, I’ve secured an investigation into ICE’s widespread surveillance. We need oversight into how ICE is using facial recognition, social media dossiers, and more to monitor all of us.

As history teaches us, the only way to win a nuclear arms race is to refuse to run. As New START expires, I'm arguing for a continued U.S. policy of disarmament—rooted in treaties, inspections, and verification.

Our civil servants deliver critical services to the American people. But from Day 1, Trump has sought to replace a merit based system with one full of cronies. This week, @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social , @hoyer.house.gov, & I, launched the bipartisan Federal Workforce Caucus to help these patriots.

Even if we don’t fund DHS, ICE still has a $75B budget. That’s more than the entire Marine Corps. So, I’m a co-sponsor of the Public Safety Act to move that money to state & local law enforcement that knows our communities and follows the law.

The Family and Medical Leave Act became law 33 years ago today. It’s been a lifeline to millions, but Congress must secure #PaidLeaveForAll. Paid leave is good for Main Street, it’s good for families, and it’s good for our future.

I met with the Board of the Minnesota State Association of Narcotics Investigators to discuss how we can better protect Minnesotans. We must ensure law enforcement has the resources they need to take on the dangerous drugs like meth and fentanyl.

I am so glad Randy is home after being illegally detained by ICE—and I am furious that this happened in the first place. ICE & CBP are out of control. I will do everything I can to rein in these rogue agents.

Every hardworking American deserves a fair shot, not just those at the top. The system is rigged in favor of the wealthy, and it's far past time we fix it. The middle class built this country, they shouldn't have to struggle just to get by.

Americans are worried about costs. What have Trump and Republicans done? Driven up the cost of health care and basic necessities, leaving families struggling to make ends meet. And now he wants to make housing even more unaffordable. Working families deserve a fair shot.

President Trump wants to end basic job protections for 50,000 federal workers, punishing dedicated civil servants on a whim. Forcing federal workers to appease this administration or get fired undermines their ability to do their jobs serving the public interest.

Trump is cancelling clean energy projects while forcing coal plants to stay open past their retirement dates—increasing energy bills by putting billions in additional repair costs back on customers. Trump owns this energy crisis.

The last nuclear arms treaty between the U.S. and Russia is expiring. There's now a real possibility of a new nuclear arms race between global superpowers. President Trump must work with Russia and China to forge a new arms control treaty to prevent a nuclear war.

The day after DHS agents shot Alex Pretti 10 times, Secretary Bessent suggested it was justified because Pretti had a gun holstered on his waist, which he was licensed to carry. As the Treasury Secretary, his credibility matters. His refusal to retract his words speaks volumes.

🚨Throughout his career, Justin Olson attacked women, pushing radical beliefs about fetal personhood and undermining our basic rights. He once preached that "wives are the subjects of their husbands." Senate Republicans just gave him a lifetime judicial appointment.

Trump's immigration crackdown is also about stealing the 2026 election. Trump and MAGA Republicans know they can't win at the ballot box, so they are setting the stage to deploy Trump's private army of ICE thugs against American voters. We must protect our elections.

Republicans love to say—pay attention to what Trump says, not what he does. As the UK, Canada, and the EU move towards China due to Trump's erratic behavior, my new op-ed in TIME has my advice: it's time to pay attention to what our allies are doing, too. Read it here: time.com/7369006/cong...
