Rhetoric didn’t kill Renee Good or Alex Pretti. An unaccountable federal police force did.

Soaring inflation. Blatantly political appointees. This administration has attacked the Fed’s independence. No wonder Americans don’t trust it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/u...

Everyone in America with eyes and ears can see what's been happening in Minnesota and across the country. The injustice is clear as day. Enough. We are going to have accountability at DHS or there will not be Democratic votes to fund a lawless agency.

I’m proud of these young Delawareans who have realized they may be too young to have a vote, but they’re never too young to have a voice. Thank you for getting into some Good Trouble and speaking out against ICE’s unaccountable and immoral overreach. www.coasttv.com/news/cape-he...

Stephen Miller is incapable of following the law or telling the truth—even when there’s video evidence to the contrary. He’s a threat to the country, and even members of his own party find him incompetent. Trump would do himself a favor by ditching him.

Why is Donald Trump so insistent that Americans “move on” from the Epstein Files? What else is out there that hasn’t been released yet, besides the thousands of mentions of him already in the files?

Warsh would join the long line of appointees more allegiant to Trump than the independence of their position. That’s why I’ve called for the delay of his nomination hearing until the political investigations of Powell and Cook are closed. We must demand an independent Fed.

Today is World Cancer Day, a day to remember all those we have lost and all those still fighting this terrible disease. I'm proud to have secured billions of dollars in the 2026 funding bills enacted yesterday that reverse Trump's brutal cuts to medical research, bringing us closer to a cure.

My great-grandparents were among the millions of Irish people who immigrated to the U.S. during and after the Irish Potato Famine, seeking a better life and greater opportunity for themselves and their kids. Immigrants today want those same things and shouldn't be demonized for it.

While millions of Americans struggle to afford health care after Republicans spiked prices, Donald Trump is more worried about erecting new monuments across DC and the 2020 election he lost.

The last U.S.-Russia nuclear weapons treaty expires this week. Without a new agreement, we're at risk of an arms race. This is serious. The Trump Administration must continue to pursue arms control deals to keep Americans safe.

Deploying armed, paramilitary forces to intimidate voters is the behavior of despots and thugs. Here in the United States of America, we also call it illegal.

Far too many Minnesota families have been torn apart by gun violence -- including the two little kids we lost in the Annunciation school shooting last year. I will continue to take on gun violence and work to keep Minnesotans safe, and I'm honored to have this endorsement.

The DNI has no role overseeing domestic law enforcement or in managing U.S. elections — absolutely none. Unfortunately, Tulsi Gabbard has made election denial and sycophancy towards the president her only core conviction. Gabbard could do the country a great favor and resign.

A first step, sure. But there’s usually only 150 in the entire state. This drawdown means there will still be around 2,300 (15x the normal amount) unaccountable federal agents roaming our streets.

This won't fix everything, but it's a start. It’s not only ICE and CBP, but an endless list of federal agencies that are currently able to weaponize your private data. It's past time for Congress to get serious about ending our privacy dystopia. I'll be at it until we do.

Big Tech makes its money from surveillance ads that give your information away to shady data brokers. The government then buys up that data to track you. I have a bill to ban surveillance advertising and put a stop to your location data from being sold to anyone with a credit card.

The federal government is exploiting every loophole in the Privacy Act. I have a bill that would close those loopholes and hold government officials accountable when they misuse and abuse private data.

As Tressie wrote, DHS can’t shoot us all, but they can track us all. My Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act would stop DHS and other federal law enforcement from tracking your phone by buying location data from shady data brokers.

Really enjoyed chatting more with @tressiemcphd.bsky.social about how the federal government is weaponizing private data. Privacy has become a life-and-death issue, and I have a plan to rein the government in. Thread:

Section 702 is a vital national security tool. But without reforms it gravely threatens civil liberties. We must strike the right balance—and that requires information on how the Administration is using 702. Trump officials must testify.
