I want to express my deepest sympathy to the family and loved ones of the woman killed by ICE this morning. She should not have died today. This should not have happened. I can’t imagine the heartbreak you are going through and the grief you are enduring.

We need public hearings NOW. The American people deserve transparency and accountability for this administration’s dangerous actions in Venezuela and their plans to create more chaos in the region.

Abraham Lincoln on judges, March 1861: “It is a duty from which they may not shrink to decide cases properly brought before them, and it is no fault of theirs if others seek to turn their decisions to political purposes.” He predicted MAGA attacks on the courts over a century ago.

I’m aware of the heartbreaking news out of Minneapolis and am monitoring the situation for additional updates. My prayers are with all impacted today.

This briefing left us with more questions than answers—the only answer we have is one they didn’t give us. Why invade Venezuela? It’s all for Big Oil’s private profit. Americans are paying for the foreseeable future for this Admin to do oil companies’ dirty work.
- LR
This is tragic. My prayers are with the victim, her family, and the Minneapolis community. The agents deployed by this administration are untrained for these situations, ultimately doing more harm than good and making our communities less safe. They must de-escalate before more people get hurt.

Senator Smith is right. ICE must immediately withdraw from Minneapolis to prevent further escalation. I am horrified by eyewitness accounts of masked ICE agents shooting someone in the head and killing them.

What began with a bold military/intelligence feat (much credit to our professionals) is already souring as Trump fossil fuel corruption intrudes. They can’t help themselves.

Trump has completely ABANDONED his promise to put America First. How does spending years and potentially billions of taxpayer dollars in Venezuela help families pay their rent, their mortgages, their grocery bills, their electric bills, their health care bills?

More like "the dangers of Republican politicians who want to ban abortion and control women's bodies." Looking forward to discussing the science that unequivocally shows mifepristone is safe, effective, and essential.

“Once operational, Revolution Wind alone will provide hundreds of millions of dollars each year in energy bill savings to New England,” is the punchline. Stated under oath, in a sworn affidavit.

I just left the Venezuela briefing. It's worse than you thought. Oil company executives seem to know more about Trump's secret plan to "run" Venezuela than the American people. We need public Senate hearings NOW.

Trump is more worried about controlling foreign oil than he is about Americans not being able to afford the cost of living. This is not putting America first.

I was just "briefed" on the strike in Venezuela & it's clear Trump has NO serious plan for what happens next. Americans don't want to be dragged into another costly foreign conflict, and they don't want “boots on the ground” fighting a war for Big Oil. No war. No occupation.

A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile. ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

My team is gathering information about the ICE-related shooting this morning in Minneapolis. I’ll share updates as they are available. Please stay safe.

With Trump “running” this, what could go wrong?

Secretary Kennedy upending the pediatric vaccine schedule will put countless young lives at risk of completely preventable diseases. Kennedy’s obsession with health conspiracies and politicization of vaccine science is dangerous, and his incompetence has no place in our government.

Haphazardly firing FEMA employees who are dedicated to disaster recovery and emergency preparedness shows where Trump’s and Noem’s priorities lie – and it's not with you. Disaster will strike and we will be less prepared as a result of this administration.

Nothing says ‘Make America Great Again’ like denying 50,000 rural Coloradans access to clean, affordable drinking water. Congress should do its job and overturn Trump’s veto.

Any effort to take Greenland by force or coercion is as ridiculous as it is dangerous. It would threaten our NATO alliance and do nothing to help Americans here at home afford health insurance, groceries or child care. Trump ran on lowering costs. It’s time he acted like it.

Here’s what happens when Republicans “own” health care: 15 million people get kicked off their health insurance and premiums go up for millions more.

Why is the President talking about investing tax dollars in Venezuela when Americans are worried about how they're going to pay for health care, housing, energy and groceries?
video
- JS
Costs are rising across the board for Americans. My constituents want the President to focus on their everyday concerns rather than pursuing costly nation-building adventures around the world.

- RG
Let’s be honest — this has nothing to do with national security. Donald Trump just wants to flex and say he took Greenland. That kind of reckless, ego-driven nonsense distracts from real threats we should actually be dealing with.

No US oil company should risk investing in Venezuela. Companies that take part in Trump's lawless takeover of Venezuela's resources should keep in mind that any American tax dollars they take to invest in a foreign country will be recovered by the next administration.

More than 2,000 people were infected with measles last year. More than 28,000 Americans were infected with whooping cough. Nearly 300 children died from the flu. Every time Secretary Kennedy restricts access to vaccines or lies about them, he makes America sicker.
- SW
Trump’s madcap escapades in Venezuela and at Greenland won’t change the increases coming at Americans in health care costs and electric bill costs and grocery costs — for which Republicans are directly responsible.
- AK
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland. Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

hm, what about "a little something" called the 22nd amendment?

Nothing says “democracy is coming back” like Donald Trump, Rick Scott and Pete Hegseth hand picking regimes across Latin America. This is deranged and must be wholly rejected.

I spoke on the Senate floor about how five years ago at 3:30 in the morning after January 6, Senator Blunt, V.P. Pence and I made the walk with the pages and the electoral ballots to the House over broken glass and by pillars spray painted with racist vulgarities to the House.

Yesterday was a stark reminder that our Capitol and our very democracy was under attack on January 6, 2021, and remains under siege from an authoritarian strongman president. I’m fighting like hell to protect our We the People government.

It's absolutely ridiculous that Trump would say their action in Venezuela was a law enforcement action. All their excuses are just a guise for their extortion foreign policy.

While Trump kept the American people in the dark on his plans for Venezuela, Big Oil got a heads up “before and after” the attack. The public deserves to know if they’re footing the bill while oil companies reap profits. Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips must answer.

Trump's actions in Venezuela and his Administration's national security strategy are making our nation — and the world — less safe. They're setting a dangerous precedent, and you can bet Putin and Xi are taking note.

Trump's White House released a maliciously false account blaming Capitol Police for the violence on January 6th. While Trump pardons insurrectionists and lets those who attack our officers walk free, we stand with our first responders. We'll make sure their sacrifices that day are not forgotten.

President Trump has a fifth of the US Navy stationed off the coast of Venezuela. That doesn’t sound like someone planning on keeping his promise of no new foreign wars.

Trump has no plan to make health care affordable for the American people. He’s forcing families to spend more on health care, groceries, and electricity—all while Big Oil CEOs get richer with an illegal war with Venezuela.
