Our adversaries like China and Russia are drawing closer together—we need to stand united with our own allies to counter them. Senator Lisa Murkowski and I reaffirmed Congress' support for NATO and our NATO allies in our meeting with Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Imagine if Joe Biden threatened attacking Greenland and then in front of a world audience confused Greenland and Iceland. Mental competence questions would rage.

You don't need a simulation to understand the pain folks in Oregon and across the country are feeling at the grocery store. And it's all because the Trump Administration gutted SNAP benefits and wrecked our economy.

Freedom in America means our government can’t just enter our homes without proper legal authority. We were so sure of that we wrote it into our Constitution. President Trump and Secretary Noem don’t get to just throw those rights out the window on a whim.

My job is to fight for the people of Michigan. We haven't stopped doing that, and I'm not going to let this distract me. But I will say, if they can do this to a U.S. senator, what do you think they can do to just an average independent citizen? www.npr.org/2026/01/15/n...

When ICE targets people—including off-duty officers as reported by Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley—for no reason other than how they look, it destroys trust, divides communities, and fails to make us safer.

"Hit unexpectedly" is a funny way of describing deliberately taking money out of Americans' pockets to boost the profits of your corporate donors. Trumpflation at work.

Children! Absolutely disgraceful. This is what happens when Donald Trump’s government pays bounties for people. Doesn’t matter if they’re legal. Doesn’t matter who they are. Doesn’t matter if they’re five-years-old. How can anyone justify this any more?

16 years ago today, the Supreme Court erased the limit on how much the wealthy and big corporations could pump into elections. Since Citizens United, we've seen billions of dollars of dark money drowning out the voice of American voters.

Remember: Donald Trump and Education Secretary McMahon have spent months raising costs for families with student loans. This is necessary relief, but make no mistake: they've got a lot more to do if they're serious about tackling the affordability crisis flattening families.

I joined agriculture leaders from across the state today in Mankato for the Minnesota Ag Expo. Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our economy, and we must ensure they have what they need to thrive—strong markets and stable trade policies.

High-speed internet isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. By strengthening USDA support for targeted broadband projects, my bipartisan bill helps lower costs and bring reliable, high-speed internet to rural Michigan and communities across the country.

Federal assistance is needed to help Washington communities recover from December’s devastating floods. The Administration was quick to respond to our emergency request. I hope they will continue to be supportive as our families and small businesses work to build back.

I visited the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center today to hear about how they'll use funding I secured to continue supporting survivors. Trump tried to slash funding to prevent violence against women—but I fought tooth and nail & we secured RECORD funding instead.

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

16 years ago today, SCOTUS sided with big corporations over the American people in their infamous Citizens United ruling. That decision paved the way for unchecked & secret money in our politics & helped billionaires & special interests buy more elections. We must reverse it.

The gentleman who ICE hauled without cause out of his home in his underwear into the icy Minnesota winter (after terrifying his 5-year-old grandson) was from Laos, one of the Hmong hill tribes people of the then-Kingdom of Laos. You should know a bit about the background of those people. 🧵

The Treasury Secretary says no big deal if the world stops buying U.S. Treasuries. It’s a huge deal for our country’s financial health and for Americans who would pay higher interest rates on car loans and mortgages. Why is he spouting nonsense? To suck up to a wannabe dictator.

Trump’s priorities are clear: no money to fix rising health care or grocery costs… but enough money for a conflict in Venezuela, buying Greenland, and giving ICE a $75 billion slush-fund.

This morning, I spoke with patients, providers, and health care advocates in Hampton about how cuts to Medicaid and the ACA are hurting Virginians. I'll keep fighting to protect and expand critical health care access.

To be clear – Greenland and Denmark have always been willing to work with us on Arctic security and economic development. Trump could have gotten what we needed without antagonizing our NATO allies.

We must restore the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that expired on December 31st. At a time when so many Americans are worried about the cost of living, Congress must fulfill its duty to protect Americans from rising health care costs.

Donald Trump wants you to believe that it is unrealistic for you to be able to afford rent, groceries, and health care. He's gaslighting you. Affordability is not fake. The only thing that's fake is the idea that he's doing anything to lower costs for the American people.

Don’t Republicans in Congress get tired of this President walking us to the edge of economic disaster over and over again for no reason? This time he almost started a trade war with Europe because he wants Greenland. Who knows what will be next. When will it be enough?

President Trump’s remarks today saying NATO has never helped us were as offensive as they were absurd. Our NATO allies rushed to our aid after 9/11 and more than one thousand NATO troops died alongside Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. President Putin and Xi Jinping are celebrating.

Canada is our friend and ally—and one of our biggest trading partners. Threatening Canada like this hurts America. Our citizens will pay for it—literally, as trade and travel plummet. Trust and friendship, by the way? Easy to damage, pretty hard to repair.

The conclusion is worth reading in its entirety, but here’s the punchline: “this charade of Ms. Halligan [elsewhere in the order described as a “miscreant”!] masquerading as the United States Attorney for this District in direct defiance of binding court orders must come to an end.”
