A father in Texas. A nurse from Wisconsin. A mother of three in Minnesota. All killed by Trump's ICE. Yes, we need an independent investigation into Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's death, but we also need to rein in this rogue agency that is killing Americans and terrorizing our communities.

At Rainy Lake Medical Center in International Falls, I saw the great work they’re doing to deliver care — and what’s still needed to expand access to quality care across the Northland. Minnesotans should have access to affordable modern health care. https://ow.ly/eC1q50Zmsw5

Republicans kicked hundreds of thousands of families and kids off SNAP so they could give billionaires more tax breaks. That's the world Republicans want to make: working people struggle to get by while they and their friends get richer.

ICE agents feel emboldened because they know their higher ups will protect them by lying to the public about what happened. How can we trust any sort of investigation solely done by an agency that does whatever it wants, whenever it wants, with no repercussions? Justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo

This isn’t how it should be. If you work hard, you should be able to get ahead. But everything Trump does makes that harder. It’s the cost to fill up your tank or buy groceries because of his war with Iran. It’s the electricity bill skyrocketing because of his war on cheap, clean energy...

Former NOAA chief scientist: “The stresses that we see today are only going to get worse because heat waves like this ten years from now will be over 40C.” Or you can believe Big Oil.

This is a BIG red flag. Ahead of the midterms, Donald Trump FIRED all members of the independent Election Assistance Commission—people confirmed unanimously by the Senate to make sure we have free and fair elections. We can't let Trump rig the next election.

The people of Ukraine have shown remarkable courage over the past four years in the face of Russia’s unwarranted war of aggression. The United States and NATO must support these brave individuals fighting to protect their homeland.

Yesterday, I visited the Moton Museum in Farmville to see how $500,000 I secured was used for upgrades. We must continue to tell the story about how Barbara Johns and other students’ brave protest led to the SCOTUS decision outlawing segregation in schools.

Allow me to explain what's happening here. The biggest bipartisan housing bill in 30 years is about to become law without any help from Donald Trump, who ran on lowering costs for the middle class, because he's mad Congress wouldn't help him suppress the will of voters.

Millions of Americans are being crushed by housing costs. Donald Trump called their crisis “a big yawn”—then refused to sign the most significant bipartisan housing bill in decades. His priorities couldn’t be clearer: higher costs for families and more power for himself.

Donald Trump cares so little about bringing down YOUR housing costs that he’s refusing to sign the biggest housing bill in 30 years. The good news: it’s going to become law anyway.

This is absolutely ridiculous but we see it for what it is — Another desperate power grab from Trump to undermine our elections and democracy. He will do anything he can to cheat and hold onto power.

Donald Trump said Republicans should “take over the voting.” Today, he took another step toward doing exactly that. Firing every remaining member of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission months before the midterms is a brazen attempt to seize control of our elections before a vote is cast.

Disaster relief should never be political. The President is leaving Americans to pick up the pieces after disasters based on petty political grievances. The politicization of disaster aid is disgraceful and shameful.

On Tuesday, another person was killed by Trump's ICE operation. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was shot & killed on his way to work. Americans deserve answers. There must be an independent investigation & ALL findings must be shared. The killing with impunity must stop.

Canada's boycott of California wine is causing devastating harm to winegrowers. I'm urging the Canadian government to recognize that California doesn’t agree with these tariff wars, to lift these restrictions, and increase consumer options to strengthen both our economies.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a husband and father who called Houston home for over 30 years. An ICE agent shot and killed him on his way to work. My heart goes out to his family. We need a full, independent investigation — and we must end ICE's violence.
