Don’t let the Donald Trump gaslight you—January 6th was a violent insurrection and a horrific day for the United States. We cannot let him rewrite history and dishonor the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to protect our democracy that day.

The American people didn’t ask for higher health care costs or to barrel into another costly war. We’re 6 days into January, and that’s exactly what the American people are getting from Donald Trump.

What will we tell future generations about January 6th? I hope to be able to tell my boys that we can heal this country.

Five years ago today, democracy prevailed in the face of violence. Brave Americans put their safety on the line so that Congress could respect the will of the American people and uphold the rule of law.

Five years ago, I sheltered in the Capitol, praying the lock on my door would hold. Alarms blared. Rioters screamed, "Kill the infidels." I held my breath, not just because I was in danger, but because our democracy was. Democracy held, and I do still believe we can keep it.

Auschwitz survivor and stepsister of Anne Frank, Eva Schloss, was a symbol of strength and resilience and an incredible educator on a history the world must never forget. May her memory be a blessing.

5 years ago, Donald Trump tried to subvert our democracy. He has since pardoned those who beat police officers bloody on that dark day. Now he wants to rewrite history. We cannot let him. Trump doesn’t give a damn about democracy here at home, in Venezuela, or around the world.

Do not forget: Five years ago, rioters incited by Trump tried to destroy our democracy. Trump pardoned & then glorified them, & then empowered them in key Administration offices. We cannot allow his rewriting history. 1/

Over the last 5 years, a lot has been said about the events of January 6th, 2021. It's been distorted, romanticized, even downplayed. Tonight, I went to the floor to tell my story and remind us all that redemption is what makes America, America.

He can’t even grow the spine to put up a *commemorative plaque* honoring the police officers who protect him every single day. Add it to the laundry list of examples that prove he’s just Trump’s lap dog.

Today marks the 5th anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, one of the darkest days for our democracy and our country. I spoke on the Senate floor about that anniversary, this year’s 250th anniversary of our country, and what is at stake if we let our democracy die.

There is no reason to think the same President—now bolder than ever in challenging our Constitution—won’t try, once again, to get his way through threats and violence. I won't let Trump rewrite history, and we ALL must use our voices & votes to protect our democracy.

Trump built his economic agenda on an illegal power grab. Now, the Supreme Court has an opportunity to send people their money back, starting with the small businesses that paid over $47 billion in Trump tariffs this year.

For more than 75 years, NATO has acted as a force for good in Europe, and around the globe. The President’s threats to use the U.S. military against a NATO ally puts the entire alliance in jeopardy and plays right into Vladimir Putin’s hands.

Five years ago, I witnessed the insurrection Donald Trump incited at the Capitol to try and overturn the 2020 election. The violence caused the deaths of law enforcement officers and threatened our democracy. We must make sure that day is never forgotten, rewritten, or repeated.

Trump and Hegseth are trying to intimidate me into silence. After 25 years in the Navy, I can tell you — that's not going to work. This is about defending everyone's First Amendment rights.

Stephen Miller’s asinine assertion that the United States could take over Greenland isn’t just ridiculous, it’s dangerous. Stephen Miller must resign.

It’s not too late to extend the ACA tax credits that Americans rely on to make health care more affordable. I’m pursuing every bipartisan possibility to reduce health care costs for the millions of Americans who use these tax credits.

Noem’s nearly 50% FEMA staff cuts would be catastrophic—crippling aid to Americans struggling through natural catastrophes. She should face Americans who face hurricanes, earthquakes, floods & more.

Today, I am reflecting on the bravery of the officers who heroically defended our Capitol on January 6, 2021, from violent insurrectionists sent by Trump. We must never forget the five officers, all Virginians, who lost their lives due to the attack. youtube.com/shorts/0PLaJ...

The Gulf of America doesn’t exist. Neither does the Department of War or the Trump-Kennedy Center. Trump is mocking American institutions, and rest assured, these changes will survive no longer than his administration.

Don’t let it go unnoticed in the chaos of this week: RFK Jr’s changes to the vaccine schedule – with no science to back it up – is another dangerous attack on the health of our kids. Vaccines save lives. We shouldn’t be making it harder for parents to access care.

As our January 6th Committee report showed, many heroic Americans stood up to Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election. But the Big Lie did not stop after January 6, and we need to be ready as Trump and his loyalists work again to undermine our free and fair elections.

After getting sworn in, Trump pardoned violent Jan 6 rioters. He didn't care if they beat cops or how dangerous they were. Now so many of them are back in jail for OTHER crimes like child pornography & kidnapping. Trump endorses violence as long as it's in service to Trump.

Donald Trump has declared war on Colorado. He is now robbing thousands of vulnerable Colorado families of the critical support they need to afford food, housing, and health care. I will pursue all available options to ensure that Trump's latest political attack against our state is stopped.

While Trump spends his time plotting his plans for Venezuela, Americans are struggling at home. Social Security is a mess. Trump's tariffs are increasing costs on everything. And congressional Republicans let health care costs skyrocket. Trump is putting America last.

RFK, Jr. and Donald Trump think they know better than scientists and doctors – and it's putting children's lives on the line. This is reckless and will mean more children are going to get preventable diseases and sick.

After major disasters like flooding in recent years in Minnesota, Americans should not have to worry about their taxes increasing because they no longer qualify for some tax credits. My bipartisan bill ensures taxpayers don’t get penalized for income drops caused by disasters.

Five years ago today, Trump sent violent insurrectionists to attack the U.S. Capitol. Law & order won that day thanks to law enforcement, and many rioters were convicted. Shamefully, Trump made it a priority last year to pardon these criminals, including those who assaulted police officers.

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

The insurrection forever changed the course of American history. Right-wing extremism has further become a threat since January 6th. That day serves as a reminder: Democracy isn't just a suggestion. Protecting it is fundamental to preserving the integrity of the nation.
