That means uniformed military who are trained to go after foreign adversaries would now be told to arrest, detain, and interrogate American citizens. The last thing we need is the active duty military taken off their posts defending our country and put onto American streets.

He’s using this word to build a pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act, which he’s talked and tweeted about dozens of times in the last year. Invoking the Insurrection Act allows him to deploy the US military and *have them act as cops in the streets.*

Watch this space: Last night, the President called VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti an ‘insurrectionist’. Meaning that he was a person who was engaged in violent uprising against an authority or government.

It’s the American consumer who bears the brunt of President Trump’s reckless tariffs. With families already struggling to afford basic goods, they’re paying for 96% of the cost of the administration’s wide-ranging tariffs. thehill.com/business/569...

The Senate must not settle for anything less than complete commitment to The Fed’s independence from both President Trump and anyone he nominates to sit in such a critical role for our economy and Americans’ financial security. 3/3

Any consideration of Kevin Warsh’s nomination can only come after this president stops trying to use the Department of Justice as his political attack dog against The Fed Board. 2/3

President Trump has shown zero inclination to stop his crusade against the Federal Reserve's independence, including by personally and politically going after Chair Powell and Fed Governor Lisa Cook. 1/3

I was just talking to Don Lemon on Monday. He’s doing what journalists are supposed to do: asking questions and speaking truth. In the past week this Administration has now blown through the First, Second, and Fourth amendment in Minneapolis. We can't let this government trample over our rights.

Arresting journalists doing their jobs, sending the DNI to raid election offices in GA, unleashing fed agents that kill Americans & then cover it up. Trump’s authoritarian takeover is quickening. We must respond like the people of Minneapolis —peacefully but with fierce urgency.

"We're not with the activists we're just reporting on them." This is from Don Lemon's reporting at the St. Paul church. Arresting journalists for simply highlighting what's happening in this country is a gross violation of our First Amendment rights. He must be released immediately.

Instead of going after drug smugglers, child predators, and human traffickers, the Trump Administration is wasting valuable resources targeting peaceful protestors in Chicago and Minneapolis. This Administration continues to make Americans less safe.

Under the Trump Administration, journalists can be arrested for covering a protest but rioters who broke into the U.S. Capitol get full pardons.

Renée Good got in good trouble. Alex Pretti stood up in the best of the patriotic spirit and our humanity. We must honor their courage by standing up in this moment.

Organic practices keep us healthy, enrich our land's soil, and reduce our carbon emissions. I’m introducing a bill to make it easier for farmers to join the movement that is more sustainable and profitable. https://bit.ly/3ZD7i0P

This is an insane amount of your taxpayer dollars going towards the occupation of our cities. We don’t want to fund Trump’s personal army any longer. I pushed for this report and will continue to shine a light on the way Trump’s spending the money coming out of your wallets.

Last year, this regime eased crypto-crime enforcement. And now, a recent investigation reveals that a top DOJ official held over $150,000 in cryptocurrency when he made the decision. This regime may let corruption and conflict of interest fly, but I don't.

No Republican purporting to care about Fed independence should agree to move forward with this nomination until Trump drops his witch hunts of current Fed Chair Jerome Powell and Governor Lisa Cook.
- EW
Donald Trump said anybody who disagrees with him will never be Fed Chair. Kevin Warsh – who cared more about helping Wall Street after the 2008 crash than millions of unemployed Americans – has apparently passed the loyalty test.

Stay engaged. Keep raising your voice. We need this sustained pressure to fight for real change.

This campaign is born out of one of the most difficult times for our state. But in those hard moments, Minnesota doesn’t look away or give up — we stand up and get involved. We will never give up on this democracy or each other.

I don't trust Tom Homan, plain and simple. He's contributing to the cruelty we see from ICE and CBP.

We should stay in DC to fight for these reforms now – not leave town. Therefore, I am voting against this package.
- MB
The bills we are considering tonight make not a single one of these changes, and I have no confidence the Trump administration will participate in good faith negotiations to make these changes over the next two weeks.
- MB
In addition, DHS needs new leadership, a complete overhaul of its operations, and clear, enforceable limits on its use of force.
- MB
no wearing of masks but wearing of body cameras; avoid arresting people in schools, hospitals, and churches; no stripping of children from their families; and penalties when officers violate the Constitution.

As I have said repeatedly, the American people must be assured that ICE is subject to the same, common-sense practices we expect from well-functioning local law enforcement:
- CB
We cannot continue to bankroll a corrupt immigration apparatus that treats people with such cruelty and disregard for the law. Americans are risking their own safety to say this must stop. They’re demanding action, and there is no excuse for the Senate not to stand with them.
- CB
I voted against funding a lawless ICE and DHS. These agencies are out of control and putting Americans’ lives at risk. The administration is refusing to hold officers who abuse people accountable and refusing to submit to congressional oversight.

Important update: a federal judge has ruled that Russ Vought & OMB were breaking the law & must tell the public exactly how they are spending (or not spending) funds appropriated by Congress. I wrote this law years ago to ensure transparency and accountability.

This is a moment to dig down deep. I'm grateful to the former federal workers who took a moment to honor Alex Pretti's memory and who keep speaking up for what's right. We won't stop pushing for accountability.

This is what oligarchy is about: If you paid 1 penny in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than Tesla - a $1.3 trillion company owned by Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, who became $460 billion richer since Election Day after spending $290 million to elect Trump.

Rather than fulfill the responsibilities of the job he was elected to do in 2024, Trump is instead attempting to rewrite history by raiding an election office in Fulton County, Georgia, and fueling long-debunked conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. Unbelievable.

My vote against DHS/ICE funding was for every Minnesotan afraid to leave their house, every Minnesotan who has been unfairly targeted, and every Minnesotan volunteering in freezing temperatures to keep our communities safe. Minnesotans haven’t given up, and neither will I.

Trump tried to "find votes" in Georgia when he lost the state in the 2020 election. Now his FBI has raided a Georgia county election office. It's yet another attack on our elections and on our democracy.

ICE's violence and terror cannot become the new normal for America. We must act now, and bring about real reforms of ICE and CBP to stop their abuse of power and excessive use of force in our streets.
