Here are 4 ways Trump is trying to undermine our fair and free elections—and why we've got to keep calling him out.

Reminder: Republican abortion bans have NOTHING to do with protecting women and EVERYTHING to do with controlling women’s bodies and lives.

Democrats are demanding extremely reasonable and much-needed steps to rein in the abuses of ICE and CBP agents.

Repulsive. This President is a disgrace and every Republican should have to answer for Trump's disgusting behavior.

I am so glad Randy is home after being illegally detained by ICE—and I am furious that this happened in the first place. ICE & CBP are out of control. I will do everything I can to rein in these rogue agents.

🚨Throughout his career, Justin Olson attacked women, pushing radical beliefs about fetal personhood and undermining our basic rights. He once preached that "wives are the subjects of their husbands." Senate Republicans just gave him a lifetime judicial appointment.

$85 million in federal funding for bus rapid transit is headed your way, @mayorspokane.bsky.social! 🚌🚌🚌 I was proud to secure this funding for Spokane. Investing in public transit connects our communities, strengthens our economy, and gets people where they need to go!

🙋♀️I know why! Trump's billionaire first agenda and destructive tariffs are RAISING costs for working families and undermining our standing around the world.

Law enforcement cannot be lawless. Americans are demanding justice and accountability, and Democrats will settle for nothing less.

Speaker Johnson doesn't care about requiring warrants signed by a judge to protect your civil rights. Why? It'll take too long. The authoritarian police state & executive overreach Republicans warned about is HERE. But REPUBLICANS are enabling it. Not on my watch.

An American citizen was brutally ripped out of her car, her window shattered and detained on her way to the doctor. Thank you to Aliya for bravely sharing her story. This kind of conduct by ICE is sickening. And it's exactly what I am fighting to put an end to.

Everyone in America with eyes and ears can see what's been happening in Minnesota and across the country. The injustice is clear as day. Enough. We are going to have accountability at DHS or there will not be Democratic votes to fund a lawless agency.

Trump wants to subvert our free & fair elections. He could not be clearer about this if he tried. So let me say this: Trump's fantasy of nationalizing our elections will go NOWHERE in Congress. Democrats will fight to protect our elections and remain VIGILANT.

NIH banned fetal tissue research to appease anti-abortion extremists—and at a committee hearing, the NIH Director couldn't provide scientific evidence to prove otherwise. I demanded to know how many projects will be halted by this anti-abortion policy decision.

Democrats won't vote to fund a lawless agency. There MUST be accountability at DHS—and if Republicans refuse to make the changes the American people are demanding, they cannot expect Democratic votes.

The same Republicans that gave Trump $200 million to renovate the Kennedy Center in the Big, Ugly Bill said it was too expensive to extend the ACA tax credits. Apparently, there's an unlimited budget for Trump vanity projects and zero dollars for your health care.

We cannot fund DHS if we do not rein in DHS. It's that simple.

Our funding bills send a message to Trump: America will continue to fund cancer research. We WILL keep investing in affordable housing. Congress will NOT abolish the Department of Education. Well, he got the message, and he signed those bills into law.

Trump has made 10,000 times his salary after just ONE year in office. How? Selling access to the White House to the highest bidder. Spread the word: Our crook of a President is corrupt to his core and will stop at nothing to line his own pockets.

This President is selling out our national security to the highest bidder, and it couldn't be more obvious. Will this Republican Congress use its majority to open even ONE investigation into this staggering corruption? There MUST be oversight and accountability.

Kristi Noem's cruel mismanagement of DHS facilities is putting people's lives in danger. There are CHILDREN in this facility. If there are any Republicans who care about basic oversight, we need serious investigations into the conditions of DHS detention centers EVERYWHERE.

It should be crystal clear to anyone with eyes and ears that Trump is DETERMINED to subvert free and fair elections in America. But in America, state and local governments run elections. So Trump can kick rocks. Still, ALL of Congress must be VIGILANT.

Mind you—that's 5,300 references to Trump in the Epstein files THAT WE KNOW ABOUT. And most of the released files have been poorly redacted, often with no rhyme or reason. Trump promised to release the files, so release them—ALL of them. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

WATCH: Trump’s VA Secretary confirms his VA abortion ban blocks veterans from getting abortion care in practically ANY circumstance—even rape. This is outrageous. Women veterans should not be forced to suffer under a Trump abortion ban.

Trump wanted to slash funding for medical research by 40%. The funding bill the Senate just passed said: absolutely not. Not only did we reject Trump's funding cuts – Democrats secured nearly half a billion dollars MORE in funding for critical biomedical research.

Important to hear from @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social this week about what's happening in Minneapolis. Any city could just as easily be next. But the power belongs to the people, NOT Trump. I'll be using my voice and vote to press for real restraints and accountability for ICE and Border Patrol.

There is NO reason this should be happening in the richest country in the world. Republicans knew their inaction would mean Americans paying an arm and a leg for basic health care—and after lining billionaires’ pockets, they CHOSE to make your health care more expensive.

The killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti shock the conscience. They demand action. Accountability. Justice. Democrats are insisting that happens.

I keep my promises—President Trump’s budget is in the trash, and an entirely new one is headed to his desk, waiting to be signed into law. In the end, it was Congress and this former preschool teacher—NOT Trump—who had the final say on how we spend taxpayer dollars.

I said I’d rip up Trump's budget & write a new one—and that's what we did. The Senate passed 5 funding bills that reject Trump's catastrophic cuts while splitting off the DHS bill. I fought hard to protect funding families count on—from housing to cancer research.
- PM
There's some stiff competition, but this might take the cake for the most blatant form of SHEER CORRUPTION and self-enrichment we've seen from this crook of a President. Know anyone who still supports Trump? Do they support giving him $10 BILLION in taxpayer dollars??

I want to make it abundantly clear: UNLIKE Donald Trump, I want to make it cheap and easy to build housing so the cost of housing comes DOWN and MORE people can afford to buy a home.

"We're not with the activists we're just reporting on them." This is from Don Lemon's reporting at the St. Paul church. Arresting journalists for simply highlighting what's happening in this country is a gross violation of our First Amendment rights. He must be released immediately.

Are you kidding me? People can barely afford rent, much less a mortgage. And the President is outright saying he doesn't care if families can purchase their own home. Americans deserve a Congress and a President who pass laws to lower costs and HELP families buy a home.

I voted NO on taking up the funding package before the Senate. Funding for DHS must be split off so we can keep working on common-sense reforms that all Americans support. Talks are happening to do that—and that's good. But we need a real deal locked in first.

"The sweetest person you can imagine." That's how a veteran patient described Alex Pretti - the man we all saw federal agents murder in broad daylight. Trump's VA Secretary initially responded by blaming that horrific killing on Minnesota officials. VA workers deserve better.

Republicans gave ICE a blank check, funding untrained federal agents who've been attacking, detaining, & even killing Americans. Republicans have talked for years about government overreach—well, here it is. Now's the time for senators to prove they care about the Constitution.

The brutal killing of Alex Pretti was an inflection point for this country. We are saying ENOUGH. Republicans need to work with us on serious reforms. It's what the vast majority of Americans want and what many Republicans are calling for as well. The time is now.

We all saw Alex Pretti, a lawful observer exercising his rights, murdered in cold blood by federal agents. And we are all seeing this administration lie to our faces about it. That cannot be how things work in this country.

This President is a shameful disgrace. But I'm glad Rep. Omar is okay. While Trump incites this kind of behavior, it's important that the rest of us state clearly—over and over again—that political violence is NEVER acceptable. In a democracy, we use our voice & our votes.

Republicans’ refusal to extend the ACA tax credits pushed thousands in WA state off of their health care plans. The same Republicans who said keeping health care costs from skyrocketing was too expensive didn’t bat an eye when they made tax breaks for billionaires permanent.

For an administration so “focused” on rooting out fraud, Trump and his goons are awfully quiet about the massive fraud in Mississippi–or does it not count if it happens in a "red state"?

Democrats are ready to avert a GOP shutdown. But Republicans are threatening to block the 5 bills we all agree on. Why? After people have been shot & killed in broad daylight, they're insisting ICE—which they admit has enough money—needs MORE money without any new strings attached.
- PM
Speaking out matters. Trump is not inevitable. Republicans in Congress are FINALLY calling for hearings and accountability. They even sent that vile, grandstanding camera hound, Bovino, packing from Minnesota. There's a long way to go, but your voice DOES matter.

The Senate should pass all 5 bills to fund cancer research, child care, and more THIS WEEK. Senate Democrats are ready to do just that. Meanwhile, we need to keep negotiating DHS funding to bring sanity and due process to our immigration enforcement. No Republican shutdown.
