The Economist magazine, with a world-wide audience, steps in hard against Trump/Noem’s violent embarrassment of our country with ICE’s goon-squad behavior. It’s remarkable, and sad, that Trump’s America looks like this to the world.

Last June, Trump said Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and totally obliterated.” It wasn’t true, and now he is planning a new attack. Trump’s lies just never stop, and the dangers just keep growing.

Journalism is not a crime. The Justice Department should investigate the federal agents who killed US citizens in broad daylight, not arrest reporters like Don Lemon. He should be released. It's a spine-chilling assault on press freedom and threatens the public's right to know.

Watch this space: Last night, the President called VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti an ‘insurrectionist’. Meaning that he was a person who was engaged in violent uprising against an authority or government.

It’s the American consumer who bears the brunt of President Trump’s reckless tariffs. With families already struggling to afford basic goods, they’re paying for 96% of the cost of the administration’s wide-ranging tariffs. thehill.com/business/569...

President Trump has shown zero inclination to stop his crusade against the Federal Reserve's independence, including by personally and politically going after Chair Powell and Fed Governor Lisa Cook. 1/3

I was just talking to Don Lemon on Monday. He’s doing what journalists are supposed to do: asking questions and speaking truth. In the past week this Administration has now blown through the First, Second, and Fourth amendment in Minneapolis. We can't let this government trample over our rights.

Arresting journalists doing their jobs, sending the DNI to raid election offices in GA, unleashing fed agents that kill Americans & then cover it up. Trump’s authoritarian takeover is quickening. We must respond like the people of Minneapolis —peacefully but with fierce urgency.

"We're not with the activists we're just reporting on them." This is from Don Lemon's reporting at the St. Paul church. Arresting journalists for simply highlighting what's happening in this country is a gross violation of our First Amendment rights. He must be released immediately.

Instead of going after drug smugglers, child predators, and human traffickers, the Trump Administration is wasting valuable resources targeting peaceful protestors in Chicago and Minneapolis. This Administration continues to make Americans less safe.

Under the Trump Administration, journalists can be arrested for covering a protest but rioters who broke into the U.S. Capitol get full pardons.

Organic practices keep us healthy, enrich our land's soil, and reduce our carbon emissions. I’m introducing a bill to make it easier for farmers to join the movement that is more sustainable and profitable. https://bit.ly/3ZD7i0P

This is an insane amount of your taxpayer dollars going towards the occupation of our cities. We don’t want to fund Trump’s personal army any longer. I pushed for this report and will continue to shine a light on the way Trump’s spending the money coming out of your wallets.

Last year, this regime eased crypto-crime enforcement. And now, a recent investigation reveals that a top DOJ official held over $150,000 in cryptocurrency when he made the decision. This regime may let corruption and conflict of interest fly, but I don't.

Donald Trump said anybody who disagrees with him will never be Fed Chair. Kevin Warsh – who cared more about helping Wall Street after the 2008 crash than millions of unemployed Americans – has apparently passed the loyalty test.

As I have said repeatedly, the American people must be assured that ICE is subject to the same, common-sense practices we expect from well-functioning local law enforcement:

I voted against funding a lawless ICE and DHS. These agencies are out of control and putting Americans’ lives at risk. The administration is refusing to hold officers who abuse people accountable and refusing to submit to congressional oversight.

Trump’s clean energy freeze puts good jobs, reliability, and lower energy costs at risk. @warren.senate.gov and I won’t let Trump sabotage real solutions to lower costs and reduce pollution, including offshore wind.

Important update: a federal judge has ruled that Russ Vought & OMB were breaking the law & must tell the public exactly how they are spending (or not spending) funds appropriated by Congress. I wrote this law years ago to ensure transparency and accountability.

This is a moment to dig down deep. I'm grateful to the former federal workers who took a moment to honor Alex Pretti's memory and who keep speaking up for what's right. We won't stop pushing for accountability.

Rather than fulfill the responsibilities of the job he was elected to do in 2024, Trump is instead attempting to rewrite history by raiding an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, and fueling long-debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. Unbelievable.

My vote against DHS/ICE funding was for every Minnesotan afraid to leave their house, every Minnesotan who has been unfairly targeted, and every Minnesotan volunteering in freezing temperatures to keep our communities safe. Minnesotans haven’t given up, and neither will I.

Trump tried to "find votes" in Georgia when he lost the state in the 2020 election. Now his FBI has raided a Georgia county election office. It's yet another attack on our elections and on our democracy.

ICE's violence and terror cannot become the new normal for America. We must act now, and bring about real reforms of ICE and CBP to stop their abuse of power and excessive use of force in our streets.

The median first-time homebuyer is 40 years old. Yet Trump's goal is to make home ownership more expensive and put the American dream out of reach for the next generation. The only people he wants to see succeed? CEO billionaires.

Trump's tariffs are a tax on the American people. He's not billing NATO allies or South Korea or Canada. He's billing American families, seniors, and working people. We can't afford this chaos.

Donald Trump remains SO obsessed with stoking conspiracies about his 2020 loss…. that now Tulsi Gabbard is taking part in raids on election facilities in Georgia. What won’t she do to appease Trump’s fantasies?

Trump's number one priority has been to make the wealthy, wealthier—it has never been the millions of young Americans looking to buy their first home. He’s giving the middle finger to our youngest generation. @democrats.senate.gov are focused on making homeownership possible for everyone.

Are you kidding me? People can barely afford rent, much less a mortgage. And the President is outright saying he doesn't care if families can purchase their own home. Americans deserve a Congress and a President who pass laws to lower costs and HELP families buy a home.

New England offshore wind isn’t “eventually,” it’s now. Vineyard already sends energy to the grid; Revolution weeks away after weeks of illegal blockage by Trump; and it’s less expensive. Revolution is 9-cent/kwh power into an average 18-cent/kwh grid. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/o...
