For months, I’ve been warning that Trump might try finding “fraud” from the 2020 election in order to justify heavy interference in our midterms. It looks like that “announcement” could be coming this Thursday. Don’t believe the narrative he’s trying to push.

ICE is supposed to enforce immigration laws and promote public safety, not shoot people in the streets of Maine and Texas. It is unacceptable and there has to be independent investigations and real accountability.

I joined @duckworth.senate.gov & @budzinski.house.gov to introduce a bill that that would expand the Gateway Arch National Park into Illinois. This measure will bring economic growth to the region, & I look forward to working with our Missouri colleagues to see this expansion become a reality.

Donald Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: He has no issue with shutting the federal government down to force through his voter suppression bill to disenfranchise millions of American citizens.

President Trump said the war was over, but a month later the fighting continues and costs keep rising. This is a war that never should have started, and it's time for this administration to listen to the American people and end it.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Betrayal of a bill defunded women’s health and made the largest health care cuts in our nation's history. These headwinds may be a constant. But they can never be an excuse. As Governor, I will protect reproductive rights for the women of Minnesota.

Donald Trump's so-called “understanding” with Iran fell apart faster than the ink could dry. The House and Senate both voted to remove our forces from harm’s way and end this war now. Trump must comply. Enough is enough. End the war.

Trump's inconsistent action over the Strait of Hormuz is not a negotiating tactic – it's expensive for Americans and a threat to the global economy. A staggering 20% fee will drive up the cost of daily goods, from fertilizer for our farms to toys for our kids. 1/2

The FHA's multifamily loan limits haven't been updated since 2003. Construction costs have. That gap is choking apartment supply nationwide, and it's a big reason your rent keeps going up. I teamed up with a Republican to fix the math. Get builders back to building. Now it's law.

Good news: A federal judge just ruled that Trump's scheme to sue his own government and then reach a settlement to create a slush fund — which would have paid out his friends and even January 6 rioters with your tax dollars — was an illegal abuse of our justice system.

A federal judge just called out Trump's "settlement" for what it really was: a shameless attempt to rubber stamp his $1.8 billion slush fund and grant his family audit immunity for past tax returns. This is blatant corruption, and the courts are seeing right through it.

ICE has shot and killed another person — the second death in two weeks. This is beyond horrific. ICE is terrorizing our communities, and Republicans in Congress voted to send the rogue agency more blank checks. Enough. The Senate must stop ICE’s violence.

OMB’s proposed rule is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to weaponize federal funding for their own partisan and destructive goals. It is illegal and would irreparably harm recipients of federal funding and the people they serve. We must ensure it is scrapped entirely.

Trump has failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz so now he wants to take it over and charge ships to use it. Not only is this illegal, it’s a recipe for endless war with Iran and higher gas prices. We should not be the world’s police force. Get out of the Strait. End the war. Now.

Trump is endorsing a forever war in the Middle East. He is setting billions of your taxpayer dollars on fire over a war America doesn't support, and Americans are literally also paying the price at the pump. And Republicans are voting to let this war go on forever.

Trump has claimed that his war of choice is nearly over more than 30 times. Yet prices at the pump are rising, the Strait of Hormuz is closed, the U.S. and Iran are trading airstrikes, and a nuclear deal looks unlikely.

A scalding, blistering judicial opinion calling out Trump’s sham litigation, striking down his corrupt IRS immunity, and holding his sycophant lawyers to account. That’s a good start. Impeachment is next.
