On this day 86 years ago, the first Social Security check was issued to Miss Ida May Fuller. I remain committed to ensuring that all those who have worked their entire lives receive the entitlement they deserve in retirement.

The President rolled out the red carpet for Putin and still walked away with no deal to end their invasion of Ukraine. Now he remembers that failure fondly enough to hang it on the White House walls. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Where the hell is the "Board of Peace?” Over 500 Palestinians have been killed since the “ceasefire.” This comes days after the IDF itself admitted the Palestinian death toll is over 70,000. The use of American taxpayer-funded weapons makes us complicit. Stop the slaughter.

Americans pay taxes for things like infrastructure and social security. They don’t pay them so they can line Trump’s pockets.

Dreading doing your taxes? Billionaires aren’t. While Trump does nothing to lower the cost of living for you, he's making it even easier for billionaires to get away with cheating on their taxes.

Ordinarily, if this were actually law enforcement, there’d be a chance for a judge to examine all this in whatever charges were brought. If this is just Kash Patel seizing records for Trump’s election monkeywrenchers, that day may never come.

Then you add in the supposed “retirement” of the FBI Atlanta field office SAC as this raid was being prepared, and the warrant for a Georgia search coming from a U.S. Attorney in far-off Missouri known for election denial, and the stink gets worse.

The Fulton County raid smells to high heaven of the dark work of Trump’s secretive Weaponization Working Group, which Tulsi Gabbard claims to have “stood up.” That would explain her improper presence at a supposedly domestic law enforcement scene.

Seniors earned their Social Security and Medicare benefits by working and paying into the system. Receiving those benefits isn’t up for negotiation. I promise to always protect the benefits millions of Arizonans depend on.

Trump can’t illegally force people off SNAP, no matter how hard he tries. Making it harder for families to get their next meal is cruel. coloradosun.com/2026/01/28/p...

From local govt to the US Senate, we must work to rein in Trump’s lawless and abusive ICE operations. Glad to see County Executive Ball take action against their attempts to open massive detention centers in our communities. www.cbsnews.com/amp/baltimor...

Why is the President sending the FBI to Fulton County instead of going after violent criminals, organized crime, and pedophile rings? Because he knows the people have turned against him and his only option left is to attack free elections.

When billion-dollar decisions can be made by executive stooges, instead of through independent agencies following administrative procedures, corruption avenues becomes superhighways. Congress should have a say in that.

I would add to Will’s column that the risk of corruption grows explosively as unchecked executive power grows.

Today the Senate refused to give a blank check to fund DHS and ICE for the next year. We rejected President Trump’s 40% cuts to health care research and mental health programs and instead invested in them. (1/2)

We know what happens when law enforcement is empowered to target people for the color of their skin. Arizona has seen it before. If ICE isn’t brought under control, we’ll see it again.

It’s because of their pressure that Trump and Republicans felt backed into a corner and agreed to do the DHS vote separately. Democrats are united in demanding the end of Trump's occupation of our streets and bringing safety back to our communities. —AK 3/3

I worry about what could happen this weekend as Trump said last night that his Administration isn’t backing off in Minnesota. I urge Americans to stay engaged and vocal. 2/3

I voted No because I wanted to send a clear message to the Republicans that addressing the lawlessness we see in Minnesota and around the country is urgent, and we should be working through the weekend and not let up until we have safeguards for the American people. 1/3

I keep my promises—President Trump’s budget is in the trash, and an entirely new one is headed to his desk, waiting to be signed into law. In the end, it was Congress and this former preschool teacher—NOT Trump—who had the final say on how we spend taxpayer dollars.

Trump promised families lower costs on day one — and then pursued policies that drove prices up instead. @banking.senate.gov just released a new report detailing how the President's policies are making YOU pay hundreds of dollars more for basics like electricity and groceries.

The model should be our state and local police officers, who adhere to a set of standards every day while protecting our communities. If my colleagues meet the moment and accept legislated reform and change, I am ready to vote for the bill.

My sincere hope is the White House and my Republican colleagues in Congress hear the chorus from the American people, and use the next two weeks to put the appropriate limits on ICE.

I have talked about these very issues for a year now, and I was unable to support more funding without serious, legislated change.

Today, I voted no on the bill that included funding for ICE. The events taking place in Minneapolis represent a cultural moment — where people across the political spectrum saw, with their own eyes, U.S. citizens abused, threatened, and gunned down. Our fundamental rights as Americans, trampled.

All Americans expect and deserve a government that tells the truth and doesn’t murder its own citizens. Over the next two weeks, Republicans must prioritize the safety of the American people above all else. This reign of terror from DHS, Border Patrol and ICE cannot continue.

support a funding package that does not include accountability and meaningful reforms to end this violence. Although ongoing bipartisan negotiations to reform ICE and protect our communities are a step in the right direction, these critical reforms must be enshrined in the law to earn my support.

Under the Trump administration, our nation has witnessed federal immigration agents kill two American citizens in Minneapolis while the administration has responded with outright lies and escalation. With ICE operating out of control under Secretary Noem and Stephen Miller, I cannot (cont.)

This is not the end of our work to reform ICE; it is the beginning. I will spend the next two weeks pushing my colleagues to enact real reforms that put strong guardrails around DHS and its agents and bring them in line with what we expect from every other law enforcement agency in the country.
