The killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti shock the conscience. They demand action. Accountability. Justice. Democrats are insisting that happens.

From local govt to the US Senate, we must work to rein in Trump’s lawless and abusive ICE operations. Glad to see County Executive Ball take action against their attempts to open massive detention centers in our communities. www.cbsnews.com/amp/baltimor...

Why is the President sending the FBI to Fulton County instead of going after violent criminals, organized crime, and pedophile rings? Because he knows the people have turned against him and his only option left is to attack free elections.

This week, I met with Mayor Joshi from Edison, Mayor Wahler from Piscataway, and Mayor Busch from Metuchen to discuss various issues impacting their cities from healthcare and immigration, to the importance of supporting caregivers and building and Einstein Corridor for innovation across our state.

Bob Murphy of Salem sells his hand-beaded bracelets and donates the proceeds to the Parkinson’s Foundation. His creative contribution to Parkinson’s research is why I am honored to name him January’s Granite Stater of the Month.

I would add to Will’s column that the risk of corruption grows explosively as unchecked executive power grows.

I’m deeply saddened by the tragic news of the sinking of the Lily Jean. Fishing and its men and women and their families are the heartbeat of Gloucester. I thank the Coast Guard for their response and I offer my heartfelt prayers and condolences to the crew and their loved ones.

Today the Senate refused to give a blank check to fund DHS and ICE for the next year. We rejected President Trump’s 40% cuts to health care research and mental health programs and instead invested in them. (1/2)

We know what happens when law enforcement is empowered to target people for the color of their skin. Arizona has seen it before. If ICE isn’t brought under control, we’ll see it again.

This deal gives us an opportunity to impose real restraints on the Department of Homeland Security—lasting, enduring legislative reform to rein in an agency that is absolutely out of control. 1/

I voted No because I wanted to send a clear message to the Republicans that addressing the lawlessness we see in Minnesota and around the country is urgent, and we should be working through the weekend and not let up until we have safeguards for the American people. 1/3

I keep my promises—President Trump’s budget is in the trash, and an entirely new one is headed to his desk, waiting to be signed into law. In the end, it was Congress and this former preschool teacher—NOT Trump—who had the final say on how we spend taxpayer dollars.

Trump promised families lower costs on day one — and then pursued policies that drove prices up instead. @banking.senate.gov just released a new report detailing how the President's policies are making YOU pay hundreds of dollars more for basics like electricity and groceries.

Not another dollar to Donald Trump to make our streets less safe. I voted no.

Today, I voted no on the bill that included funding for ICE. The events taking place in Minneapolis represent a cultural moment — where people across the political spectrum saw, with their own eyes, U.S. citizens abused, threatened, and gunned down. Our fundamental rights as Americans, trampled.
- TD
All Americans expect and deserve a government that tells the truth and doesn’t murder its own citizens. Over the next two weeks, Republicans must prioritize the safety of the American people above all else. This reign of terror from DHS, Border Patrol and ICE cannot continue.

No matter what, Delaware always comes first for me. I’m proud to have worked with communities up and down our state to deliver $70 million in investments that will help our economy and add jobs, fund more affordable housing, bring down ER wait times, and help those seeking mental health care.

Under the Trump administration, our nation has witnessed federal immigration agents kill two American citizens in Minneapolis while the administration has responded with outright lies and escalation. With ICE operating out of control under Secretary Noem and Stephen Miller, I cannot (cont.)

I’m glad that Senate Democrats were able to forge a deal that separates out full-year funding for DHS so we can move forward on five critical bills that will bring much needed relief to Americans across the country. These appropriations bills include incredible victories.
- TS
ICE needs to be ripped down to the studs. We need to start over and hold this Administration accountable for this mess. Nothing has changed. Minnesota is still suffering and sending in a new guy to run ICE won’t change that – but Congress can.

Tonight I voted to advance five bipartisan bills that will allow us to fund 96% of our government. It also begins a two-week clock on urgent, bipartisan talks, to ensure accountability for what happened in Minnesota and to put in place concrete reforms at DHS. My full statement:

Senate Republicans have two weeks to work with us to rein in ICE’s abuses of power or DHS will shut down until they do. The clock starts now.

This campaign is born out of one of the most difficult times for our state. But in those hard moments, Minnesota doesn’t look away or give up — we stand up and get involved. We will never give up on this democracy or each other.

Tonight, I voted NO on a package of bills that included a CR to add funding to DHS. I've made it clear that we cannot send another penny to ICE without serious reforms. Masked men are killing Americans and terrorizing our communities. The CR included no reforms. So I voted NO.
- RD
Senate Democrats were successful in separating and passing the five bipartisan government funding bills from the DHS bill. (1/2)
- PM
I said I’d rip up Trump's budget & write a new one—and that's what we did. The Senate passed 5 funding bills that reject Trump's catastrophic cuts while splitting off the DHS bill. I fought hard to protect funding families count on—from housing to cancer research.

The American people want the government to remain open, and they are also demanding an end to the deliberate intimidation, trampling of civil rights, and outrageous lawlessness by ICE agents that have left two American citizens shot dead. My full statement:

My position has been clear and is unchanged: I will not vote for one more dime to fund Trump's lawless DHS. I voted NO.

I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents. No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes. Get ICE out of Minnesota.

American businesses have for years propped up “worst climate obstructor” U.S. Chamber (aka #ChamberofCarbon). Corporate leadership now has to be found overseas. Way too many U.S. CEO lips on Trump’s rear end.

By joining the unprecedented FBI raid on the Fulton County, Georgia elections office, DNI Gabbard has chosen to pursue baseless conspiracy theories over her sworn duty to warn Americans about real and ongoing foreign threats to our elections.

They're seizing ballots. Raiding homes without warrants. Gunning down protestors in the streets. And now, arresting journalists. They’re coming for our freedoms. America, stand up while you still can.

Tulsi Gabbard—who has a long history of promoting bizarre conspiracy theories—was at the election office raid in Fulton County, Georgia. This whole “investigation” is a massive waste of federal resources expended to protect the ego of an overly sensitive President who can’t accept he lost.

Journalists arrested. Raids on election facilities. U.S. citizens killed by federal officials. Bogus prosecutions or firings of those who speak out. This is not the kind of country we should be.

Trump thinks he can decide how our elections are run. WRONG. Bondi thinks she can use Americans as pawns to interfere with free and fair elections. WRONG. Trump thinks of states as just agents for the federal government. WRONG. Everything this regime does and thinks is just wrong, wrong, wrong.

I’m incredibly disturbed by the Justice Department’s continued gross mishandling of the Epstein files. Victims deserve better. America deserves better.

Following the latest Epstein files release, DOJ is still violating federal law. The Justice Department was supposed to release the full files in December and explain their redactions to Congress by January 3rd.

$31 billion in extra utility costs, much of it driven by climate perils caused by fossil fuel pollution; much of it caused by fossil fuel minions in Trump administration blocking and delaying low-cost clean energy to reward Trump’s fossil fuel buddies.

President Trump just said that he wants housing prices to stay high, at a time when so many people are already struggling to keep a roof over their heads. He couldn't be more wrong or out of touch.
