Americans from all walks of life agree that the status quo cannot continue. What's happening in Minneapolis and other cities around the country is not law and order, it's thuggery. We will keep working to rein in ICE’s abuses.

The SAVE Act is nothing more than Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise millions of Americans. Every single Senate Democrat will vote against any bill that contains it. Speaker Johnson should tell SAVE Act Republicans to stand down or else this shutdown will be on them.

The SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow style restrictions on voting. It will be dead on arrival in the Senate. My statement:

“We have nothing to hide. We never did,” Blanche says as he withholds 3.3 million pages of the files over 45 days after the deadline to release them all. Nobody trusts you. x.com/acyn/status/...

This Texas election shows that Trump is really exposed. On ICE, on costs, on healthcare, and on so much more, he’s sinking like a stone.

This is the type of man that Donald Trump allowed to rise to the top of America's immigration enforcement. Disgusting, but not surprising for this out-of-control and despicable administration. We must weed out all of the Dan Bovinos from positions of power—and there are A LOT more of them.

42 days, and counting, after violating the law by failing to release all the Epstein files, Trump’s DOJ has released millions more pages. I’m reviewing the files, and I’ve got some questions for AG Bondi:

Trump's number one priority has been to make the wealthy, wealthier—it has never been the millions of young Americans looking to buy their first home. He’s giving the middle finger to our youngest generation. @democrats.senate.gov are focused on making homeownership possible for everyone.

The Senate is scheduled to take the first procedural vote on a funding package including DHS funding tomorrow. Let me be clear: Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled, the DHS funding bill won’t have the votes to pass the Senate.

The attack on Rep. Omar tonight was a despicable act of political violence and intimidation. I am glad Rep. Omar is OK, and I thank USCP and local police for their quick action to apprehend the suspect.
- CS
In the wake of ICE’s abuses and the administration's recklessness, Senate Democrats will NOT pass the DHS budget until it is rewritten. I will vote no on any legislation that funds ICE until it is reined in and overhauled.

Alex Pretti did not deserve to die. Renee Nicole Good did not deserve to die. Enough is enough. ALL of ICE out of Minnesota now.

Kristi Noem is a liar. Kristi Noem is incompetent. Kristi Noem is vicious. Kristi Noem must be fired.

Please take a minute to read this heartbreaking statement from Nurse Pretti’s family. After their son was killed in broad daylight, they are now forced to defend him against this administration’s lies. It’s another reason why Senate Democrats are united in rejecting this DHS spending bill.

What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling—and unacceptable in any American city.

This is abhorrent. The 4th amendment is the law of the land, and you need a warrant to enter people’s homes. The courts must step in immediately and ICE must leave our cities.

When Trump says they are going after the worst criminals, is this who they mean? 5-year-olds aren’t bait and they don’t belong in jail—it’s sickening.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day reminds us that we can’t ever give up on his dream. His resilience and commitment to civil rights continues to be a message to our country today: We must never give up in the fight for justice and equality for all.

First it was Tish James and James Comey. Now it’s Senators, Governors, and the Fed Chair. In Donald Trump’s America you get a bogus investigation for doing your job. Americans reject this kind of totalitarian bullying. Where are Republicans? Hiding.

NEWS: Groundbreaking has officially begun on a massive, $100 billion chipmaking plant that will transform Central NY and supercharge I-90 as a semiconductor superhighway. I was proud to deliver the CHIPS + Science Act of 2022 which paved the way for this facility.

I spent years working to bring Micron to Upstate NY, and with the passage of my CHIPS & Science Law, I delivered billions to make it happen. I’m proud to announce Micron’s groundbreaking at its new manufacturing site in Clay, New York!

Opportunity Starts at Home This new housing agenda is full of ideas from @SenateDems to tackle the housing affordability crisis by working to reduce rent, boost home ownership, stop predatory corporations, supercharge construction, and provide housing security for all Americans

Democrats are unveiling a new housing agenda to tackle the housing affordability crisis: —The median price of a home has increased 55% since COVID —Rent prices are up more than 30% —The median age of a 1st-time homebuyer is 40 —America is short millions of homes—increasing costs

A major Verizon outage yesterday affected 100,000+ Verizon users. At a time of high costs, consumers must always be automatically compensated for service disruptions, fully and completely—not just a courtesy or suggestion—and the FCC has a responsibility to require just that.

Americans are worried about costs and Trump’s policies are only making things worse.

I just brought legislation to the Senate floor to restore ACA tax credits for 3 years. This legislation passed the House with bipartisan support. Senate Republicans said NO, ensuring health care costs continue to spike for millions of Americans. We are not going to stop fighting.

Whether it’s costs or Epstein or ending forever wars, the pattern is the same: Donald Trump talks a big game but never actually follows through.

Donald Trump once again tried to gaslight the American people about the affordability crisis. In a rambling speech attempting to show he cares about the struggles of ordinary Americans, he called it a FAKE. Tell that to anyone who actually has to work for a living.

Trump’s naked political attack against Jerome Powell and the Fed is so dangerous that even Republicans are whispering in the hallways about their concerns—but actions speak louder than words. Republicans should step up and use their oversight powers to bring the DOJ to heel.

BREAKING: I'm headed to the Senate floor to move to pass legislation passed by the House last week to extend the ACA premium tax credits for three years. The American people need relief, and today we have a chance to deliver it.

Happy Korean American Day! New York is home to one of the largest and most vibrant Korean American communities in the nation. For 123 years, Korean Americans have shaped our culture, businesses, and neighborhoods, enriching the fabric of our state and country.

The Senate has already voted four times on a bipartisan basis to reject Trump's illegal trade war. No blank checks for Donald Trump’s endless trade wars. No blank checks for senseless tariffs.
- CS
Trump’s tariffs are an illegal theft of Congress’ authority over trade and tax—the Supreme Court should strike these harmful and senseless tariffs down.

THIS WEEK: The Senate will vote to pass our war powers resolution and affirm Congress' constitutional authority on matters of war and peace. Will Republicans stand with the majority of Americans who don’t want another endless war?

Anyone with two eyes and half a brain knows exactly what the DOJ’s criminal probe into Jerome Powell represents: a brazen attempt by Donald Trump to weaponize the DOJ and bully America's central bank into submission.

Donald Trump’s assault on the Fed’s independence continues, threatening the strength and stability of our economy. This is the kind of bullying that we’ve all come to expect from Donald Trump and his cronies. Anyone who is independent and doesn’t just fall in line behind Trump gets investigated.

It was an incredible honor to meet Rabbi Ulman of Bondi and Ahmed al-Ahmed, the hero who saved countless lives during the antisemitic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach. Ahmed is a role model for us all. We must continue to fight antisemitism, hatred and bigotry wherever it rears its ugly head.

Trump’s economy is leaving workers behind. As families grapple with the surging cost of health care and the cost of everyday life keeps going up, it’s harder than ever to find a job.

Today’s vote on Venezuela was an important one. Americans are hurting—it’s time for Trump to prioritize them and stop waging war.

Senate Democrats want to lower your costs and tackle the affordability crisis. Senate Republicans want to aid and abet Donald Trump’s adventurism in Venezuela and risk yet another endless war. The contrast is clear – and the American people are with us.

JUST NOW: The Senate advanced @kaine.senate.gov and my bipartisan war powers resolution, which would block the Trump administration’s use of the U.S. armed forces to engage in hostilities within or against Venezuela unless authorized by Congress.

The Trump plan is to put money from Venezuelan oil sales into offshore accounts? Sounds like a slush fund for Trump’s worst impulses and more evidence that his only concern is enriching himself and his big oil donors.

We need public hearings NOW. The American people deserve transparency and accountability for this administration’s dangerous actions in Venezuela and their plans to create more chaos in the region.

Trump has completely ABANDONED his promise to put America First. How does spending years and potentially billions of taxpayer dollars in Venezuela help families pay their rent, their mortgages, their grocery bills, their electric bills, their health care bills?

Nothing says “democracy is coming back” like Donald Trump, Rick Scott and Pete Hegseth hand picking regimes across Latin America. This is deranged and must be wholly rejected.
