I'm voting no on DHS funding. Masked agents are operating in our streets and hurting people with zero accountability. It’s un-American. If you’re upset and want to help, call your senators and representatives and tell them this chaos needs to stop.

This is the President's playbook. The truth doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. Anyone who disagrees with him becomes an enemy, and he then weaponizes the federal government against them.

In the name of decency & democracy, Republicans should join in demanding ICE reform & restraint. Their silence or implicit support for ICE’s vicious wrongs makes them complicit in criminality. Americans & history will judge them harshly & justly—soon.

Here it is. For the third time. I'm calling on DHS and DOJ's IGs to heed the public outcry and finally launch a joint task force to investigate the horrific pattern of brutality from Trump's agents, including the public execution of Alex Pretti. We demand accountability. Now.

Secretary Noem has been a disaster at DHS. Under her “leadership,” ICE is killing people, separating families, and terrorizing our communities. Secretary Noem should resign. But no matter who’s in charge, ICE’s abuses are deeper. There needs to be immediate, fundamental changes.

🚨ICYMI: Trump is expanding his deadly Global Gag Rule—threatening any humanitarian aid organization that gets federal dollars from even TALKING about abortion or diversity. Trump is doing everything he can to block foreign assistance & rip away health care.

Secretary Noem refused to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee last year and now tells us that she will be available in five weeks—should she still be DHS Secretary at that time.

…should she still be DHS Secretary.

ICE has become a private military for Stephen Miller and Donald Trump. We need to completely clean house and rebuild from the bottom.

A couple in West Virginia was faced with spending nearly triple their monthly mortgage on health care premiums because Trump let costs skyrocket. We had a plan to lower health care costs and congressional Republicans blocked it. Now, Americans are paying the cost.

Greg Bovino and his CBP thugs may be leaving Minneapolis but this doesn’t end here. ICE continues to terrorize our communities. From Maine to Minneapolis. It’s still no funding for DHS. ICE out of ALL our cities. Hold these officers to account.

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem think you will believe them over your own eyes. No. Alex Pretti wasn't a terrorist. He was a VA nurse. When agents pushed a woman to the ground, he tried to help her up. His last words were “Are you okay?” Enough. Kristi Noem should resign.

Last week, I met with leadership at Augusta Medical Center in Fisherville to learn about how they’re providing care for the community. I’ll keep working to protect Virginians’ health care, including by pushing to reverse the Republican cuts to Medicaid.

This regime ripped away health care from millions, refused to fund SNAP when families were hungry & is now fighting to fund an organization that has left 2 Americans dead. Their priorities are clear. They care more about attacking immigrants than they do about your well-being.

There's a clear path forward: 1. Quickly pass the other 5 spending bills before the Friday night deadline & keep government open. 2. Separate out the DHS bill & work on common sense steps to rein in ICE and CBP. Senate Democrats are ready to get it done. Republicans must join us.

I can’t think of something more un-American than a federal law enforcement agency that can: Enter homes without a judicial warrant. Patrol our streets in unmarked vehicles. Demand papers at random. ICE has become a threat to our American freedoms.

When the government is lying to you, watch out. “The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting,” Alex Pretti’s parents, Susan and Michael, said in a statement.

Six cowardly ICE agents held down Alex Pretti and killed him. They killed one of our fellow Americans. This is Donald Trump’s America. The violence and intimidation ICE has brought to our communities must end now. And let me be clear: not a penny more for ICE.

Vermonters in Plainfield are still waiting for the federal resources they need to recover from the severe flooding in 2023 and 2024. I hosted a town hall to hear more about the challenges Vermonters face and share how I’m working to make the recovery process more efficient.

Trump promised to lower costs on day one – instead, he made it worse. The one thing President Trump delivered for New Mexico families in 2025 was higher prices, and it’s hitting families hard. We need to lower costs for New Mexicans NOW. Working families can’t afford to wait.

About 1.5 million Americans lost their health insurance so far this year because of Trump’s policies. Millions more will lose their coverage if Republicans continue refusing to pass the Dem plan to undo Trump’s premium spikes.

Oversight of immigration detention, especially medical care, urgently needs reform. When human beings are in the government’s custody, we are responsible for them.

Leader Thune must keep DHS $$ separate, like House did, so we can pass all other appropriations. Everyone sees DHS needs work.

The horrific shooting of Alex Pretti has only sharpened the position I announced last Friday—the House-passed bill funding Homeland Security is a non-starter because it lacks sufficient safeguards against abuse and accountability for those who have used their power to brutalize our communities.

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand how much Trump’s tariffs are raising costs and making life harder. Look at this number. That’s how much Arizona families’ costs went up in 2025 because of this President.

I am an immigrant. But more than that, I am a human being and an American. No one — regardless of status or where they come from —should have to endure the pain, chaos, and violence ICE has brought into our communities this past year. DHS and ICE's terror stops now. They must be controlled.

From housing to health care, President Trump’s economic policies are making Americans pay more for their necessities. While the $1,781 Trump has cost Illinoisans may seem like pocket change to President Trump and his billionaire buddies, it makes all the difference for Illinois families.

I will vote against proceeding with this week’s bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security because ICE needs to significantly change the way it is conducting itself — and Congress should be doing everything it can to make sure that happens.

We saw with our own eyes a U.S. citizen killed by Trump’s federal agents. Yet this admin continues to spread lies. What must happen now: a full and independent investigation; Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller must resign or be fired; and not another dollar for Noem’s DHS without real accountability.

ICE is using violence to stoke fear in our communities. It’s horrifying and unconscionable. We need answers and accountability immediately.
