I warned in a report that DOGE was putting Americans’ most sensitive data at risk. Now, news reports show that DOGE employees accessed your data and signed an agreement that could let them share it with a political group. They broke the law AND endangered your privacy.

Trump promised to bring down costs on Day 1 and then turned around and called affordability a "hoax." He gave himself an “A+++++” while working class Americans suffer from his price hikes. He isn’t fooling anyone:

As Ranking Member of the subcommittee that oversees FEMA, I'm demanding that Sec. Noem stop the staffing cuts at FEMA immediately. Mass cuts to the FEMA workforce are reckless; they put our communities' lives and safety at risk. You deserve better.

The Trump administration’s scheme to control Venezuelan oil isn’t just imperialist overreach. It will deliver millions of dollars to Big Oil. The American people deserve to know: who in the White House is going to profit? www.cnn.com/2026/01/22/p...

Today in Culpeper, I spoke with health care providers and community members to discuss federal cuts to the ACA and Medicaid and ways to grow the health care workforce. I’ll keep working to support providers and ensure families can access the care they need.

ICE is out of control. Under Secretary Noem’s leadership, rather than focusing on targeted immigration enforcement, ICE agents are demanding random people on the street “show their papers.” She must resign.

The Trump Administration is detaining children as part of their cruel immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota. They are traumatizing children and tearing apart families all for political theatre.

Jamie Dimon and @postopinions.bsky.social should check their facts. Right now, federal law prevents states from doing this—and it's the big banks who want to keep it that way. If you want to get on board to let states cap credit card rates and lower costs, I’m ready to pass the bill.

Trump, Musk and DOGE didn’t just steal your Social Security data while they were stripping the Social Security Agency for parts—they tried to give that data to far-right groups to cheat on future elections. The Judiciary Committee must hold hearings into this gross perversion of our government.

This family did every single thing they’ve been asked to in order to seek asylum here. Yet in less than 24 hours, this kid and his Dad were nabbed off our streets and sent to Texas, using tactics that can only be described as pure evil.

Trump has no right to invade Greenland. Military adventurism doesn't lower costs or strengthen our national security. These thoughtless and impulsive moves only work to stroke Trump's out-of-control obsession with power and ruin decade-long relationships with our allies.

With the cost of groceries, energy, health care, and child care all rising, the last thing Wisconsinites needed was their housing costs to rise too. Families need some relief, but this president just isn’t focused on providing it.

This is disgusting. Social media companies must be held accountable for these AI-generated images — which largely target women and children. Americans shouldn’t have to fear fake, sexualized images produced by bullies and pedophiles.

Yet another tired re-run of Russ Vought's corrupt playbook. He's threatening blue states in a naked act of political retribution. No one should be intimidated. Vought and Trump can kick rocks. This will not stand.

The Constitution and the law are clear: ICE must allow anyone they detain access to legal counsel. But that is not happening—including for at least one detained U.S. citizen. ICE must comply with the law and allow access to attorneys. This is not optional.

As DHS rapidly deploys new surveillance tools, such as facial recognition technology, the Trump administration is stonewalling my congressional oversight. Unacceptable. The public deserves answers about Trump’s surveillance state.

53 years ago, Roe v. Wade affirmed a fundamental truth: women deserve the freedom to make their own health care decisions. That right was ripped away in 2022, but we must keep fighting to ensure women are free & equal citizens in this country.

After using military force in Venezuela without a plan for replacing the regime, the country is still run by Maduro’s henchmen. Now the president has promised the Iranian people that he will come to their aid, but without a plan for doing so that doesn’t mire us down in another endless war. 🧵

As we adapt to the climate crisis, funding from my National Coastal Resilience Fund will help strengthen infrastructure for communities like Johnston and New Shoreham facing frequent floods. Glad to announce ~$1.2M in funding to further resiliency initiatives across the state.

On the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, all Americans should have the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions. Instead, families are forced into impossible choices and doctors are threatened with criminal prosecution for following medical guidance. 1/2

Republicans in the Senate blocked our resolution to reclaim Congress's power to declare war and rein in Trump's illegal strikes in Venezuela because they're more interested in bending the knee to an authoritarian strongman than carrying out their oaths. Disgraceful.

53 years after Roe v. Wade and Republicans are as committed as ever to ripping away a woman's right to make her own decisions about her body and her life. We cannot let them win—I won’t let them win. We must keep speaking out and using our voices to fight back.

If Trump tries to withhold federal funds for Delaware in an attempt to force unpopular and far-right policies on our state, he will lose in court again. If he's actually interested in keeping Delaware safe, he could return funds to local police departments that DOJ has been withholding for a year.

This is Liam Ramos. He is 5 years old. ICE snatched him and his father on the way home from school, then used him as bait to target his family. A family who followed the rules. A child as bait. Their cruelty knows no end.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress gave $30 billion to ICE. You know what also would have cost $30 billion? Extending those tax credits to help people afford health care this year. We should repeal Trump’s money for ICE and lower costs instead.

A U.S. citizen dragged out of his home, barely clothed, into the cold. A 5-year-old detained on his way home from preschool. This is the reality of what ICE is doing with their $75 billion budget. Wouldn’t this be better spent on health care?
