Honored to witness the swearing in of Governor Mike Sherrill this morning. I know that she is going to be an incredible partner fighting for the people of New Jersey.

I talked to NPR this morning about why Trump's threats to Greenland are a dumb way to get what we want. Bottom line: Trump is risking everything for nothing.

Trump's foreign policy is about one thing: enriching his family & uber rich friends. Look closely & you'll find someone cashing in. In Venezuela, it was hedge fund owners and oil interests. With Greenland, it’s billionaires like Trump-donor Ron Lauder, pushing this land grab.

First in Chicago, now in Minneapolis, DHS and ICE agents are violating immigrants’ and U.S. citizens’ constitutional rights. DHS Secretary Noem must answer for these actions.

It’s been one year and the results are in. Donald Trump betrayed the people of Georgia. He came to my state and he promised us lower prices. Then he got into office and immediately made things more expensive. We won’t forget it.

From flying in combat to commanding the space shuttle, teamwork was the only way to accomplish the mission. That same approach guides my work in the Senate: bring people together, focus on the facts, and get results for Americans, rather than getting bogged down in partisan BS.

Turns out, most Americans don’t support Trump taking over Greenland. Maybe it’s because this does nothing to address the issues they are facing every day.

Trump’s actions in Minneapolis aren’t about immigration enforcement. They’re about sowing fear and disrupting the lives of everyone in Minneapolis – including citizens.

Trump's regime has made it clear they don't care about funding SNAP or WIC, and they really don't care if Americans go hungry. As this regime wages war on food assistance, I'm proud to see Hawaii fighting back against hunger & against this regime's sick need to starve Americans.

In all of Putin’s years trying to divide & decimate our NATO alliance, he’s never come as close as Trump in just a few months. Time for Republicans to stand up to Trump’s deranged, self-destructive rants—tariffs & invasion threats against friends, aiding our adversaries.

These funding bills send a message to Trump: America WILL continue to fund cancer research, we WILL keep investing in affordable housing, we will NOT abolish the Department of Education—and Congress, not Trump, will have the final say on spending taxpayer dollars.

ICE must be reined in, and unfortunately, neither a CR nor a shutdown would do anything to restrain it, because, thanks to Republicans, ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap whether or not we pass a funding bill. My full statement on the DHS funding bill.

Spent a meaningful MLK Day with Angelenos at Big Sunday’s MLK Clothing Drive and Community Breakfast. In 1967, MLK asked: “Where do we go from here, chaos or community?” We choose community.

Trump's petty attempt to erase MLK Jr. Day and replace it with his own birthday is not just an act of narcissism, but another example of this admin's efforts to stoke division & erase the history of this country. Let us honor & remember Dr. King for his work today and every day.

This is deranged. Trump is threatening to deploy our military, blow up the NATO alliance, & spend billions all because he didn't win a prize. This man has control of our nuclear arsenal. At what point will Republicans join us to stop him from putting our nation in harm's way?

It felt so good to join over 1,000 Michiganders in Lansing for the annual MLK Luncheon — the largest in the country — put on by the MLK Commission of Mid-Michigan. For many of us, this year's celebration felt different. Watch my full remarks: www.youtube.com/live/Z5r6Fpq...

Today we honor MLK Jr. as a leader who challenged America to live up to its highest ideals. As hate surges and civil liberties are systematically eroded across the nation, we are falling short of his vision of justice.

“It may well be that we will have to repent in this generation. Not merely for the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence and indifference of the good people” - Martin Luther King.

I’d rather spend our money on health care for Americans than on “buying” a country that’s not even for sale. Give us health care and leave Greenland alone.

Rewarding ICE agents for arrests — even if the person is released without charges — is leading to chaos in the streets and Constitutional rights being violated. This isn’t making us safer.

These are not the words of a President who thinks rationally. Our allies are forced to take this seriously. It is NOT acceptable for an American President to be threatening aggression or war against our NATO allies. It is WAY past time for this Republican Congress to intervene.

This is pure, unabashed bigotry. If a politician said this about any other faith, they would rightfully be run out of their party. But this kind of despicable anti-Muslim rhetoric is so normalized that a sitting Senator uses it without consequence. A stain on our Congress.

Trump’s threats to slap tariffs on the EU risk a disastrous trade war with the EU and collapsing NATO. I appreciated the chance to meet with EU President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu at a decisive moment for US-EU relations. America's safety and standing in the world are at stake.

Taking over Greenland is not a joke. Trump is sending messages to foreign leaders and making threats that will destroy the most important alliance we have. Are Republicans in Congress and Marco Rubio really ready to throw NATO away because they’re too afraid to stand up to Trump?

Dr. King repeatedly reminded us that the inaction of good people was the greatest threat to the pursuit of justice. Today, in the face of a lawless and tyrannical president, inaction isn't an option. We must continue to stand up, speak up, & fight back.
