I am very pleased that Ricardo has been released from ICE detention & is reunited with his mother. But he should never have been taken from his family in the first place. We must end the Trump Administration’s mass deportation operation & stop these cruel attacks on immigrants & our communities.

ICE is completely out of control. We can’t have a rogue, masked police force separating families and terrorizing our communities. Not one penny more for ICE.

Don't let ICE and this administration lie to you. I saw inside Delaney Hall with my own eyes. The conditions are absolutely unacceptable.

Tonight I heard directly from local officials about their response to the tragic Nippon plant tank failure. I want to reiterate—my heart goes out to the victims and their loved ones. To the Longview community: I’m ready to offer any support I can every step of the way.

What I saw at Delaney Hall reinforced what we already know: we can't continue to write a blank check to ICE while their violence and lawlessness continue.

As a Jewish American, I’ve been targeted and experienced hate simply because of my faith. Now – more than ever – we need to take a stand to protect all religious communities from hate and violence.

Prices are skyrocketing from the grocery store to the gas pump. But Trump’s top priorities are securing a slush fund for violent Jan. 6 criminals and building himself a golden ballroom. When will he do anything to lower costs?

Oregonians have voted by mail by decades. It’s a safe, secure system that works in red and blue states alike. I’m fighting to protect your right to cast your vote by mail!

Coloradans are paying 60% more at the pump because of President Trump’s reckless war. He is forcing Colorado families to make an impossible choice between a full tank of gas or food on the table. Trump must end this war NOW.

I told ICE that they could NOT just plow through a crowd of civilians at Delaney Hall. They didn't care. Here's what happened yesterday.

This is a hard-fought win. But don't expect the fight to end here. Trump will continue pushing states to redraw their maps to secure his own power by diluting Black representation in Congress — and we have to keep fighting it.

Every farm I go to is a reminder of just how hard our farmers work to make ends meet. And this President is making them work even harder with this war in Iran. I visited Mike and Gary at Frontier Farms to talk about what this chaos means for them and what they need to compete.

For GEO Group, the company that runs the Delaney Hall detention facility, it’s all about profit over people. What I saw there this weekend was absolutely corrupt and cruel.

Too many Delawareans feel like they’re working as hard as they can, but wages are slipping further behind the cost of living, and they don’t know if anyone in Washington can hear them. I’m not just listening to you—I’m working to help. Read more in my new op-ed here.

Last year, I met the head of Fort Mackinac at the Pink Pony, and he insisted that at some point, I must shoot the cannon at the top of the park. Well, this year, as part of America’s 250th, I got to check this off my bucket list!

Republican North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis is right that Congress decides how taxpayer dollars are spent — not the president. And your money shouldn’t go to people convicted of assaulting law enforcement and the Capitol on January 6th.

Donald Trump just keeps claiming the war is about to end… but the truth is, America is still striking Iran. He’s breaking every promise, starting new forever wars, and raising costs on everything.

@kim.senate.gov is the latest Member of Congress to be attacked by ICE while conducting oversight. We need ICE and CBP reforms now—it can’t wait.

It’s clear that both the policy decisions like sending troops to our cities and Secretary Hegseth's purge of generals have been demoralizing to our service members.

Journalist Sonia Dahmani’s conditional release was modest but welcome progress. Yet legal harassment continues, including yesterday’s sentence on nonsense charges, raising further concerns about basic freedoms in Tunisia under President Saied. Political charges against her & others must be dropped.

Erdogan ordered Turkey’s police to raid the opposition party’s HQ days after a kangaroo court ousted the opposition leader. We cannot keep ignoring Turkey’s descent into authoritarianism. We must stand for the people's right to democracy for allies & adversaries alike.

I heard from families, farmers, & butchers across Upstate NY on how beef monopolies are driving up prices. I’m leading @democrats.senate.gov in the Family Grocery & Farmer Relief Act to break up meatpacking monopolies & stop these unfair practices that rig the game against working families.

The war in Ukraine has real implications for U.S. national security. If Russia wins that war, Vladimir Putin will feel he has the green light to attack a NATO Ally, and President Xi will feel emboldened to move on Taiwan.

ICE's treatment of detainees at Delaney Hall in New Jersey is the latest in a long line of abuses we've seen across the country. When @kim.senate.gov stood up & called out these abuses, they pepper sprayed him. Not another dime for this lawless agency.

Donald Trump’s rogue ICE and CBP are already sitting on an unused $100 billion that Republicans handed them in their Betrayal Bill last year. Now, Republicans want to give them another $70 billion blank check.

No one should need to skip prescriptions or doctor's visits just to stay afloat. This data confirms what we already know – families are hurting. But when folks need help the most, Trump remains focused on his own selfish agenda.

Making it harder for immigrants to get a green card through arbitrary requirements is yet another attempt by the Trump Administration to continue its cruel mass deportation agenda. This new policy will tear apart more families, hurt our economy, and must be overturned.

One basic thing to look at is insurance markets, determined by companies’ fiduciary obligations and business interests. Insurance markets are starting to fail, with companies withdrawing, non-renewing and raising rates in climate-risk regions. (That moves on to mortgage and real estate markets, btw)

Trump's multi-billion-dollar slush fund is the most brazen act of self-dealing corruption we've ever seen. We need to shut it down before he uses it to pay cop beaters, cronies, and other criminals. I'm introducing legislation to stop it. www.semafor.com/article/05/2...

The President has made hundreds of millions of dollars in stock trades this year in companies his own Administration regulates — then he uses his platform to influence the market. It's blatant corruption.
