Donald Trump paid almost a billion dollars to kill wind energy projects that would have powered millions of homes. You do the math on how that helps your family.

First, it was Georgia. Then Arizona. Now, the Trump Administration has demanded that Wayne County, Michigan, turn over all ballots from the 2024 election. These are flashing red warning signs of intent to interfere with the 2026 and 2028 elections. Know your rights.

Linda McMahon & Trump are wrecking the Department of Education. Why? So we can throw another half-TRILLION dollars at the Pentagon? Maybe I'm biased as a former preschool teacher, but I think investing in our kids is more important than shoveling money at defense contractors.

My colleagues should speak up. Either they believe in defending our Constitution on these civil liberties and defend our right to vote in free and fair elections, or they are going to continue to cower and create an erosion of those civil liberties. (2/2)

Civil rights and civil liberties are under attack. I am disappointed that the Supreme Court decision has raised the standard on having to prove discrimination in a redistricting case and created an erosion of the Voting Rights Act. (1/2) www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

For too long, Americans’ constitutional rights have been violated. I joined Senator Lee to introduce a bill to require government agents to obtain a warrant before viewing Americans’ private communications collected under 702. Let’s get this done.

The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution is clear: Trump cannot be elected president more than twice. Yesterday, I asked Trump judicial nominees what the 22nd Amendment entails. Their response? Crickets.

Minnesotans are paying the price for this administration’s war with Iran as gas prices rise and squeeze families, small businesses, and farmers across our state.

The War Powers Act is clear. If Congress has not authorized going to war, the President must withdraw U.S. forces after 60 days. Senators on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged this. Today, we must abide by the law and end this war.

Luxury jets, golf trips, and ballrooms. This Administration will use taxpayer money to pay for everything except health care.

This attack is just one of many that have taken place across the UK over the last several months. While I am grateful for law enforcement's swift action and the Prime Minister's condemnation, more must be done to ensure Jewish communities are safe from violent antisemitism.

I’m horrified by the news of an antisemitic attack in Golders Green, London, a predominantly Jewish neighborhood. I’m relieved to hear the victims of this attack are in stable condition and the perpetrator has been apprehended. 🧵

I commend the Vermont legislature for passing a law that allows Vermonters to sue federal agents for constitutional violations. Republicans in Congress should take note and join Democrats in passing real accountability for ICE. No one is above the law.

The Trump Administration's war in Iran is driving up gas prices and sending summer travel costs through the roof. I’m focused on lowering costs and putting money back in Americans’ pockets so that taking your family on a road trip doesn’t break the bank.

Republicans keep scheming to maintain their grip on power. Democrats rightfully responded and held the line in the short term. Long term… we need a permanent end to partisan gerrymandering.

Pay attention to this. President Trump quietly purged over 100 immigration judges and is now replacing them with inexperienced and untrained judges. Many have never practiced immigration law at all. He's trying to take over all three branches of government.

This is a step backwards in our journey to make a more just, more equal country, and the fight to defend Americans’ right to vote has never been more urgent. We march on.

The Voting Rights Act has protected Americans’ – particularly those who have been disenfranchised – right to vote and be properly represented in Congress for decades. The campaign to dismantle it is a deliberate effort to silence some American voices and give more power to politicians.

Honored to attend a bipartisan dinner this week with María Corina Machado, leader of the Venezuelan opposition and a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

When I hear from people about what keeps them up at night, so often it’s their rent, their mortgage, or whether they’re ever going to be able to afford their own home. Congress is finally doing something about it. We’re close to the finish line – we just need the House to act.

As Justice Kagan wrote for the dissent, the Voting Rights Act was "born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers." I agree that this decision is a disappointing exercise "in politics and partisanship."

With its decision in Louisiana V. Callais, the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority has again turned its back on the promise of an equal right to vote, further eroding the landmark Voting Rights Act.

I enjoyed speaking with hunger and nutrition advocates from Vermont this week. In the richest country in the history of the world, nobody should be going hungry. I thank these advocates for their tireless efforts.

Trump is literally paying energy companies NOT to produce clean American energy and create American jobs. And he's using your tax dollars to do it. When you're opening your utility bills this month, remember that.

The Trump EPA puts the value of a human life at zero dollars in their rulemakings to make it easier for them to pollute. They put a cost on corporate expenses, but not on asthma, heart disease, or exposure to toxic chemicals.

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate," - Donald Trump As Trump's Iran war drags on, remember: President Obama ensured Iran couldn't get a nuclear weapon without starting a war. It was Trump who ripped up that deal.

No more nibbling around the edges. No more being the default option against Trump. It's time for Democrats to dream big and fight hard for the changes we need to make life better for working people. I'm proud to stand with @repcasar.bsky.social who is leading the way.

Glad to see the federal appeals court blocked the Trump Administration's mass-detention agenda — sending a clear message that due process must be upheld. No one, regardless of immigration status, should be imprisoned without basic constitutional protections. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/app...

This means workers with legal status will lose their work authorization because of bureaucratic delays, businesses will lose workers, and prices will go up. This reckless action won't just hurt "red states" or "blue states" – we will all pay the price.
