Thank you to Traverse Connect, NorthSky Consortium, the Coast Guard, and everyone who joined our tech innovation roundtable discussion. The view at Discovery Pier isn’t bad either!

Traverse City is a growing hub for tech innovation and drone deployment. These kinds of drones have a ton of uses here at home – from crop management to disaster response after some of our recent storms.

Senate Democrats will put Senate Republicans on record and force them to vote on Trump's lifetime tax exemption.

Democrats made sure that today's vote-a-rama happens in broad daylight because Americans deserve to see what the GOP is prioritizing over lowering their costs. We will not let Republicans force their radical reconciliation bill under the cover of night.

NEWS: Senate Republicans have started the process to give $70 billion to Trump’ mass deportation operation. ICE and CBP already have record levels of funding, but Republicans decided your tax dollars are better spent terrorizing immigrants than lowering the cost of living.

Senate Republicans just started a marathon voting session known as vote-a-rama in the Senate. Not to improve your life. Not to lower your costs. But to funnel $70 billion more to ICE and the abuses I saw at Delaney Hall. Not another dime.

I am a hell no on Washington Republicans’ plan, and my Democratic colleagues and I will be forcing votes all day to stop Trump’s corrupt slush fund for good and redirect money to programs that actually lower costs for hardworking families. Stay tuned for more updates.

At the same time Donald Trump tried to set up a slush fund – nearly $2 billion of your tax dollars – to reward his political allies and January 6 rioters. The White House says the fund is dead, but they’ve shown us that we shouldn’t take their word for it.

We’ve seen this story before – Senate Republicans are trying to funnel billions more dollars to ICE without any reforms while too many Americans can’t afford gas, housing, health care, and groceries. 🧵

Trump is spending: $100 million on a "victory arch" $1 billion on his ballroom $1.8 billion on his slush fund $13.1 million to repaint the Reflecting Pool But nothing to lower costs for you and your family

BREAKING: Senate Republicans have just begun a marathon vote-a-rama in the Senate. Why? Not to lower health care or housing costs. Instead, they are fighting tooth & nail to give ICE another $70 billion blank check with ZERO reforms. A disgrace.

Congress needs to restore the Voting Rights Act and protect Black voters’ voices, power, and representation.
- CC
SCOTUS let Alabama use a map that lower courts found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. The right to vote is how Americans shape their future. Republicans know their ideas can’t compete on their merits, so they draw discriminatory maps to force that unpopular agenda through anyway.

Corrupt & compromised by feckless Trump fealty, Blanche is a nonstarter as AG. He leads DOJ with blindered loyalty & contempt for law. There’s no way we should confirm an AG who will continue as Trump’s personal lawyer, not the people’s.

The people of Ukraine are valiantly fighting to defend their homeland. But $400 million in aid Congress appropriated for Ukraine has been held up in bureaucratic delays. When Secretary Rubio came before the Senate, I urged him to release this much needed funding

I champion Clean Slate legislation because I know how hard it can be for people to get back on their feet after time in the system. So proud of the way our state is working to make second chances possible for Delawareans.

Trump wants loyalty, not expertise. He wants sycophants that will blindly support his self-serving policies. So of course he’s making it easier to get rid of the federal workers who are there to serve our country. It’s all a part of his corruption agenda.

Trump just appointed an Acting Director of National Intelligence whose main qualification is going after Trump’s political enemies. Authoritarian and downright sinister. I’m a hell no on Bill Pulte.

Big tobacco donated big bucks to Trump’s political operation & dined at his golf club. Days later, FDA permits addictive & harmful vapes to be sold without scientific review, contrary to the law. I’m leading Senate Dems to demand answers on Big Tobacco’s scheme to hook children on this poison.

We need to stop Donald Trump's corrupt DOJ deal that protects him and his family from tax audits and ensure no future administration can abuse government power in the same way. I'll keep fighting his lawlessness.

For-profit companies like GEO Group run detention centers all over the country and don’t feel any accountability. They are a part of our nation’s broken immigration system and the cruelty of the Trump administration.

It's been 103 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump's illegal tariffs. He still has no plan to return the $1,700 he owes American families & now is trying to stiff businesses too. Trump stole this money from hardworking Americans & business owners. Release the money, NOW.

I’ve also filed amendments to ensure critical ICE reforms, which Republicans have repeatedly refused to adopt. Whether it's election deniers, unaccountable immigration enforcement, or a President who thinks the rules don't apply to him, I'll keep fighting lawlessness and defending the rule of law.

Tonight, I filed amendments to eliminate the "Anti-Weaponization Fund," block Donald Trump's corrupt DOJ settlement that shields him and his family from tax audits, and prevent any future administration from creating similar schemes.

Trump and Stephen Miller built up a paramilitary force at DHS that they essentially promised immunity, and set it loose on American communities. I'm not going to write a blank check for a federal agency that refuses to distinguish between American citizens and violent criminals.

The House, for the first time, voted to halt Trump’s illegal, reckless and expensive war in Iran. The Senate did the same two weeks ago, a vote I was proud to join. The dam is breaking. GOP support for the war is evaporating. Trump must end this war now.

Trump's illegal war has already cost 14 of our servicemembers' lives and nearly $30 billion. America has paid enough. No more. It's time to end the war.

Diabetes is the most expensive chronic condition to manage, and too many are struggling to afford the insulin they need. We must act now to cap insulin at just $35 a month to ease this burden for millions of families. My INSULIN Act would do just that.

Finally. Great to see the House stand up to Trump to put an end to his costly, illegal war in Iran. Now, it's time for the Senate to pass it, too.

Even when the fact-finding court made the exact finding that the Supreme Court said would toss a district map, the Supreme Court reversed, applying its highest principle: “whatever helps Republicans win is what we do.” They are now shameless.
