Heartbroken to learn that a powerful advocate for improving Black maternal health, herself, passed away during childbirth. Harrowing stories like hers remind us of the urgent work we have to do to address the maternal mortality crisis we currently face.

Even as our servicemembers’ lives are on the line, Trump is just making it up as he goes along in Venezuela.

I’ve been sounding the alarm on ICE’s dangerous facial recognition technology—and now we’re seeing the consequences. The Trump administration is weaponizing this technology to target Black and Brown communities and expand its authoritarian surveillance network. This must end now.

It’s a new year, but we’re in the same fight: to save our ‘We the People’ democracy. Our voices are more powerful together. Let’s save our republic!

Lowering costs or reckless conflict in Venezuela? I’ll bet 90% of Americans prefer the former. Trump and Republicans are completely out of touch.

I’m honored to count Senator Mark Kelly as my colleague and friend. He risked his life in service to our country and is now being attacked by the current administration. It is wrong and it is hateful.

The commonsense energy circuit riders pilot is an effective way to help communities take on clean energy and energy efficiency projects that lower costs. I'm proud that we were able to bring the successful model run by Concord’s Clean Energy NH to the national level.

If you’re looking for waste, fraud, and abuse, take a look at the massive tax cuts this administration gave to their billionaire friends.

Union employees at SBA were reinstated with back pay after facing back-and-forth firings, chaos, and cruelty last year. I’m proud to have worked with AFGE and my Senate colleagues to bring stability to our civil servants and SBA. This illegal mistreatment must never happen again.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

While millions of Americans lose health care and prices are surging here at home, Trump doesn't care and has no solutions. Instead, he is threatening to bomb half the Western Hemisphere, occupy Venezuela, and annex Greenland. Is this America First?

It is wildly inappropriate for the Trump Admin to go after its political critics like this—let alone heroes like Sen. Kelly. Kelly is a patriot who has always put our American democracy first and always supported our servicemembers and the rule of law. Something neither Trump or Hegseth can say.

Every 2 seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. Donating blood is essential & each donation helps save lives. Visited the great team at @ribloodcenter.bsky.social today to mark #NationalBloodDonorMonth & thank them for their tremendous work.

What does Trump’s adventurism in Venezuela do to help Americans facing an affordability crisis and spiked health care costs?

Mark Kelly is an American hero who bravely served his country for decades. The US military exists to protect Americans' free speech—not suppress it. Hegseth and Trump clearly don't understand this, and the use of military resources and funding for a sham censure is a disgrace.

Trump's baseless attacks on America and New York’s offshore wind projects are killing good-paying union jobs and driving up electricity costs. He must reverse this order and allow these projects to deliver low-cost energy to American families.

Residue of the Trumpsters’ plan to screw up Social Security’s operations so badly that Musk-rats and tech bros could take it over. Looks like we beat that back, like we beat back the surreptitious Republican half-trillion dollar cut to Medicare. Gotta watch them like hawks.

Trump’s America first agenda: protect pedophiles, bankroll oil barons, build ballrooms. Meanwhile you’re getting sicker and poorer.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's baseless targeting of Senator Mark Kelly, a patriot who proudly serves our country, is disgraceful, craven, and wrong.

Governor Walz’s decision to not seek re-election is what it looks like when leaders put the interests of the people before politics. Tim’s career has been defined by getting results for Minnesotans, doing the right thing, and always putting people first.

Trump risked American lives to kidnap Maduro just to have him replaced by one of Maduro's authoritarian cronies. This has nothing to do with drugs or ousting an authoritarian leader. It's a clown car of incompetence in an effort to enrich oil companies.

Following my bipartisan push, major lab testing companies are taking steps to help reduce children’s exposure to toxic lead. Clearly stating on blood test results that there is no safe lead exposure for children will help ensure that parents can take action against lead exposure.

Did Donald Trump notify Congress before taking military action in Venezuela? No. Did Donald Trump notify his Big Oil Buddies? Yes. It was always about oil.

I will always fight for our civil servants. The men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving our country - regardless of who is in the White House. Republican shutdowns hurt Marylanders. Congresswoman Elfreth and I will keep working to protect our federal workers.

How is Trump planning on “running” another country when he hasn’t done anything about rising grocery or rent prices?

While Trump effectively declared ‘mission accomplished’, regime change is more complicated than that. Maduro was a brutal/illegitimate leader, but his regime is still in power and there are many questions about what comes next. Congress is back today; here’s what we should be asking. THREAD

President Trump’s raised prices with his tariff taxes, shut down the government, allowed healthcare costs to skyrocket — meanwhile he’s sending your tax $ abroad to bail out Argentina & wants to “run” Venezuela to help his buddies in the oil industry. So much for America first.

President Trump says the United States is going to “run” Venezuela, but can’t answer basic questions about what that means. Americans want lower prices, not endless plays to take over foreign countries.

There’s no plan. They don’t know what they’re doing. Figuring out what comes next in Venezuela requires serious effort — one that we should be working on with recognized opposition leaders, allies and partners to deliver security and stability, not one driven by profits for Trump’s friends.

The Trump administration has targeted Social Security at every turn — closing field offices, driving up wait times, and threatening the safety net that millions of Americans rely on. We can't let this administration damage the agency that allows our seniors to age with dignity.

Venezuela has legitimately elected leadership in Gonzalez and Machado and they should run the country, not Trump.

This week, every Senator will have the opportunity to vote for or against the use of military force against Venezuela. I am voting AGAINST any war with Venezuela. Congress must rein in this corrupt and dangerous President IMMEDIATELY.

Fact: Trump says he will “run” a country of more than 28 million people. That’s larger than the population of the upper Midwest—Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, & Michigan combined. Question: How about focusing on health care premiums in the U.S. instead?
- CH
Let’s be clear: the Trump Admin is lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs from coming to the US — it’s about grabbing Venezuela’s oil for his billionaire buddies. Trump has put American troops in harm’s way to boost oil company profits. Outrageous.

The Constitution is clear: Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp to the President. On these counts, Congress has failed.

Costs are rising, and millions of Americans are seeing their health insurance premiums skyrocket after Republicans in Congress let key tax credits expire. Instead of working to lower costs for the American people, Trump decided to go “run” another country.

As the affordability crisis spirals out of control and people’s health care costs skyrocket, this administration’s actions in Venezuela make one thing clear: Donald Trump is the least ‘America First’ POTUS in our country’s history.

The President is literally endorsing the crazy conspiracy reasoning of a multiple murderer. An assassin. Is running Venezuela putting him over the edge? Think of how Melissa’s and Mark’s family feel when they see this. But that’s the point, the President doesn’t care.

Despite all the talking points to the media — and by Cabinet members directly to senators last month — this was never about stopping the drug cartels. If it were, President Trump wouldn’t have pardoned drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández.

A few questions among many that Donald Trump avoided today, and the American people deserve an answer to: — What is the Trump Administration’s actual plan to “run” Venezuela? — Will President Trump deploy American troops to Venezuela? If so, how many and at what cost?
