Trump says US needs Greenland to protect Greenland from Russia. That is probably not in the top 100 national security threats we face. It is not a threat I have once ever heard mentioned, until now.

It was an honor to be recognized at last night’s National Cultural Diversity Council Martin Luther King, Jr. Dinner. At a moment when hard-won civil rights protections are under pressure, I’m reminded of Dr. King's teachings and our collective duty to show up for our communities.

President Trump didn’t get a peace prize so now he’s threatening to start a war.

Just last week, Trump claimed “inflation is stopped.” But YOU know that’s a lie. In fact, his first year back in office cost NV families an EXTRA $1,500 each on average. Prices are up on everything from housing to groceries and Nevadans can’t afford three more years of Trump’s reckless tariffs.

It's officially been one year of Trump breaking his campaign promises to the American people. Here's what Trump's "America First" agenda looks like: — Skyrocketing health care costs — Biggest cut to Medicaid in history — Higher costs under reckless tariffs — Running Venezuela

Over the last year, President Trump pardoned dozens of criminals. Combined, they were ordered to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and restitution. Trump let them off the hook. Nothing says cracking down on crime like letting criminals run free.

Just like the water cycle we all learned about in grade school, when politicians receive money from special interests, they then make it rain on these special interests with favors, pardons, favorable legislation, and government contracts. I break it down.

ICE agents are now racially profiling and harassing *off duty police officers* in Minnesota and demanding their papers.

Today I talked with police chiefs from across the metro area. This isn’t just happening in Mpls and St. Paul. The 3000 ICE agents are in the suburbs and across our state. The surge is disrupting the work of local law enforcement.

One year ago, I was sworn in as Arizona’s first Latino Senator. Today, I returned to American Legion Post 65, where we celebrated our 2024 win. A lot has come our way since then, but with you by my side, I know we’ll keep fighting for a better America.

On the campaign trail, President Trump promised to lower the cost of everything. Yet, at every turn, he has chosen to make life more expensive for American families. While President Trump calls affordability concerns a "hoax," the numbers tell a different story. 🧵(1/5)

69-22, Americans feel utility costs going up. They are. Believe your own eyes. Trump keeps inexpensive clean energy off the grid to pay off his big fossil fuel donors. It’s on purpose; a deliberate scam to make you pay more so his corrupt fossil fuel donors make more.

As a member of the committee that oversees DHS, I’m calling on Sec. Noem and Tom Homan to testify in front of the Senate immediately. The deployment of ICE agents across the country is putting our communities at risk. You deserve answers and accountability.

Undertrained, unaccountable ICE officers are putting Americans’ lives in danger while law enforcement agencies who know their communities go underfunded thanks to Trump. My PUBLIC SAFETY Act with @cortezmasto.senate.gov takes $75 billion from ICE and gives it to local cops who keep our streets safe.

Taking Greenland the "hard way" means war. The President is threatening war with our ally because he didn't get a peace prize. Let that sink in.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Trump promised his tariffs would bring manufacturing “roaring back.” Instead, factory jobs have fallen nearly every month since April, as higher input costs and uncertainty hit U.S. producers. This article explains why.

Reasons why Trump wants to invade Greenland… A). If you’re going to distract from the Epstein files, you might as well go big. B). What’s the Mercator Projection? C). If you can steal a Nobel Prize, why not Greenland? D). Sadly, all true.

The first year of the Trump administration has set us back. Tariffs are increasing costs by $1,700 a year. ICE is making us less safe. The President is more focused on Greenland & his ballroom than helping Americans. We need to lower costs and end the chaos & corruption.

Exactly. YOU are paying more because Trump is turning tariffs on and off like a toddler with a light switch. In addition to tearing apart our closest alliances, the American people will get the benefit of paying more for virtually everything.

So now countries that don’t fall in line with Trump’s ridiculous plan to acquire Greenland are threatened with steep tariffs. Neither his foreign policy nor his economic policy make any sense, and we all foot the bill with higher costs.

An order to our military members to invade our ally Greenland, without congressional authorization, and with no self-defense basis, would be “manifestly unlawful” under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. They must disobey it.

In just one year, Trump has abused his office at every turn. He has corruptly worked to enrich himself and his family, while doing nothing to help yours with the cost of living. The fight to preserve our democracy isn’t over — it’s just getting started.
