An ICE officer murdered Renée Good. Two other federal agents shot Alex Pretti 10 times. Qualified immunity shields these officers from accountability. The Good and Pretti families deserve justice. Congress must abolish this flawed doctrine and pass my bill with @pressley.house.gov.

Household debt has hit a record high of $18.6 trillion. Credit card delinquency highest since Great Recession. Auto loan delinquency highest since 2010. And yet President Trump is taking money away from working families to spend it on billionaire tax cuts and more money for ICE.

There were already bipartisan negotiations to pass a cryptocurrency bill that would have provided more meaningful guardrails on the industry, but Republicans threw it out. Why? So President Trump and his crypto allies can profit off their own personal cryptocurrencies.

On the one-year anniversary of the DCA crash, I’m praying for the families and loved ones of the 67 people we lost. We must honor their memory by doing everything possible to prevent this from ever happening again.

The Department of Homeland Security is reportedly planning to build a facility in Merrimack – but Merrimack’s Town Council hasn’t been consulted at all. Secretary Noem needs to provide answers to Granite Staters, now. www.hassan.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Mens Sana watch: Slovakia’s MAGA-leaning prime minister warned EU leaders about Trump’s ‘psychological state’ and used the word ‘dangerous.’

We must pray not only with our lips, but with our legs, with our hands, and with our feet. The pressure is working. Keep standing up.

Trump's tariffs raise prices on everyday goods for American families. He's making life harder for working people.

He NEVER cared about affordability. At least he's finally saying the quiet part out loud.

Right now, EMS providers aren't just delivering emergency care to Medicare patients, they're covering the cost too. That's why I'm introducing a bill with @sanders.senate.gov and @balint.house.gov to reimburse those on the frontlines for their life-saving work in Vermont and around the nation.

The Trump Admin’s repeated attacks on offshore wind hurt workers & our local economy. Grateful Patrick Crowley from @riaflcio.bsky.social could join us today to discuss tremendous work union workers are doing to lower energy costs & power our nation forward.

Voting by mail is safe and secure. A new USPS rule could delay postmarks, preventing mail-in voters’ ballots from being counted. I’ll continue to push back against any actions that would undermine our elections or make it harder to vote. My letter to the Trump Administration⬇️

NEW: I am cracking down on DHS’s surveillance… and pressing for answers on how they’re mining our data and using it in immigration enforcement. In addition to all the other guardrails we need to put on ICE, we cannot let DHS set up a massive & unchecked surveillance apparatus.

Today I voted NO on the DHS appropriations bill. We need accountability, oversight, and meaningful reforms.

Trump’s message is clear: he doesn’t care about making it more affordable for young people to buy their first home. He cares about the wealthy.

It's been two years since 5-year-old Hind Rajab and six members of her family were killed by Israeli tank and machine gun fire. Two Red Crescent workers sent to rescue them were also killed. I will continue to fight for justice for her and so many other Palestinians who have died.

Trump's ICE snatched this bright, happy 5-year-old from his driveway. They shipped him 1,300 miles to suffer, without his mother, in a squalid Texas detention center. And now he's growing ill. Democrats are fighting to end this cruelty. Liam is not a criminal. Let him go.

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

I voted NO on advancing the funding package before the Senate. There must be real accountability at the Department of Homeland Security. Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller need to go. DHS and ICE must be reined in.

I like my job. But I love Minnesota more than any job. This campaign is for people who believe in something bigger than ourselves.

Don't forget: the largest funding spree for ICE in American history was paid for with the largest cut to health care in American history. This terror in our streets was no accident. It was in the Republican budget.

No one is made safer by ICE snatching up our neighbors, our friends, or our colleagues.

Right now, too many seniors around rural Arizona don’t have reliable access to the food assistance they need. I just introduced a bipartisan bill to fix this, because where you live shouldn’t determine whether or not you can get food on the table.
- AA
I voted NO on the funding package that includes 10 BILLION dollars of funding for ICE. I meant it when I said 'Not another penny.' We must end the violence and intimidation that ICE has brought to our communities.
- ES
This isn't a Republican or a Democratic thing. From Zach Bryan to Joe Rogan, folks of all kinds of different views are crying out for reforms and to rein in ICE.

The American people know what they saw in Minneapolis. ICE and DHS are terrorizing communities, ripping apart families, and killing Americans. We must rewrite the DHS bill to address these well-documented abuses. Anything less is a non-starter.

Sen. Ossoff: "Much of the American public are quite reasonably alarmed and asking questions after the Director of National Intelligence was spotted bizarrely and personally lurking in an FBI evidence truck in Fulton County, Georgia yesterday."

I just voted NO on Republicans’ budget that pours billions more into ICE and DHS. We must not fund cruelty.

I just voted NO to funding DHS. With ICE and CBP sowing chaos and fear in our communities—shooting Americans in broad daylight—it's past time to put an end to their lawlessness.

This morning, I voted no on the bill that included funding for the Department of Homeland Security. The White House needs to hear the American people, and rein in ICE, end the violence and stop the attack on our fundamental freedoms.

Today, I voted NO to the funding package for DHS. This may have been my vote, but this was the people's voice. We need real changes to fix a broken and lawless system. I'll be working closely with my colleagues to deliver it.

Here are the indisputable facts: The 2020 elections were accurate and secure. Donald Trump lost. He is trying to attack free elections because he is getting desperate. He knows the people have turned against his failed agenda. But we see what he is doing. Stay vigilant.

Just hours after Alex Pretti was shot 10 times by federal agents, the Trump Administration – without knowing the facts – said that he was a “domestic terrorist.” Wisconsinites who knew Alex know that’s simply not true. www.wpr.org/news/green-b...

Just voted NO on the DHS funding bill. It does nothing to overhaul ICE. We need masks off, bodycams on, accountability, and respect for our constitutional rights.
- ES
Secretary Noem fundamentally doesn't understand her role as a Cabinet Secretary. She needs to resign, be fired, or, if that doesn't happen, she should be impeached.

Democrats are ready to avoid a shutdown, but the DHS bill needs serious work. I’m glad that the White House is working with Leader Schumer to avoid a partial government shutdown and rein in ICE’s campaign of terror. Americans are demanding change to ICE’s conduct—we must deliver for them.
- GP
I voted no on the funding bill today because we need serious reforms to require DHS immigration enforcement operations to be conducted safely and responsibly. I urge our Republican colleagues to let us vote to fund the rest of the government and work with us to rein in DHS.
- PM
I voted NO on taking up the funding package before the Senate. Funding for DHS must be split off so we can keep working on common-sense reforms that all Americans support. Talks are happening to do that—and that's good. But we need a real deal locked in first.
- MW
I just voted NO on the spending package because it still includes DHS funding. NO blank check for ICE to continue lawless killings. Let’s get real changes made.

The courage of ordinary Minnesotans also stands in stark contrast to America’s pusillanimous corporate “leadership.” Thank you, @smith.senate.gov.

On the one-year anniversary of the DCA crash, we remember the 67 lives lost, including six with ties to the Skating Club of Boston, and reaffirm our responsibility and commitment to learn from the tragedy and strengthen aviation safety.

Ordinary Minnesotans aren’t allowing themselves and their neighbors to be denied their basic human and constitutional rights, and they’re beginning to get results. But talk is cheap – we must keep pushing until ICE is out of Minnesota.

More grift. A nursing home super PAC donated millions to Trump’s campaign. And, lo and behold, he made it easier for them to cut staffing to pad their profits. Literally wheeling and dealing on the backs of the elderly and the disabled. This man’s grift knows no low.

Something we know about Donald Trump: he rarely backtracks unless there's something in it for him to gain personally.
