Wishing a very happy birthday to my friend and colleague Tina Smith! I’m fortunate to work alongside Tina every day for the great state of Minnesota. 🎂🎉

I sat yesterday with my Senate colleagues for an all-senators briefing, and here’s how much clarity we got out of that briefing: Zero.

This can’t go on. Republicans have to work with us to rein in ICE and hold them accountable and to the same standards as any local police department to keep our communities safe.
- JR
Trump and Washington Republicans control the Senate, House, and White House – and they’ve allowed and encouraged ICE to use violent, unconstitutional tactics on their watch.

Happy 189th birthday Chicago! For nearly two centuries, our great city has shown an endless capacity for reinvention, growth, and dynamism. May Chicago continue to thrive for many more birthdays to come!

Which is it? Did we 'completely destroy’ their arsenal last year? Or did they pose a threat now?

The American people have seen this before. They saw it in Iraq, they saw it in Afghanistan, they saw it in Libya. They don’t want this war. www.youtube.com/shorts/QLK3h...

Americans want solutions on affordability. Instead, the President is choosing to burden the American people by spiking gas prices as he recklessly plunges the U.S. into a war with no clear strategy.

I’m a YES on the war powers resolution to rein in Trump’s warmongering. Everyone in Congress should be.

Trump’s war of choice isn’t making you safer, but it is making it more expensive to fill your tank.

Costs are up on everything from health care to groceries. ICE agents are terrorizing our communities. The Trump admin won’t release all of the Epstein files. How exactly does another forever war in the Middle East put ‘America First’?
- RW
The idea that we should fund an agency that is killing Americans here at home because this president has launched an illegal war-of-choice abroad is absolutely ludicrous. No funding for DHS until these attacks on our rights stop.
- CC
The strength of our nation is measured by how we care for our most vulnerable. Trump's and Republicans' cuts to Medicaid shows they're failing that test. I'll keep working to reverse these cuts, because everyone should be able to afford their health care in the wealthiest nation on earth.

Trump sent our servicemembers into a war of choice from his beach club in Florida. With no clear objectives or any sense of an endgame. And without any authorization from Congress—no public hearings, no justification to the American people. I will vote to end this war.

Our Founders were wise on this point: one should never send our sons and daughters into war without the consent of the people. I have made this argument throughout my Congressional career, regardless of if the President is a Democrat or Republican.

Secretary Noem’s $100,000 FEMA approval policy is holding up essential funds from reaching the communities that desperately need them. She must end this policy before more Americans are left abandoned and lives are lost.

Taxpayers are funding a $220 million propaganda campaign promoting... Kristi Noem. I asked Secretary Noem how these lucrative government contracts ended up with the PR firm which formerly ran her campaign ads, and which is run by the husband of her staff. Here's what she had to say:

Let's be clear: the U.S. had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped up that deal. Then he started a war instead of doing the hard work of diplomacy to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

ICE brought chaos to our streets. Instead of focusing on violent criminals, they pulled over off-duty local law enforcement officers.

Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, MN was killed in Kuwait while serving our country. She was an avid gardener who made salsa from peppers and tomatoes in her garden with her son. She also loved rollerblading and bicycling with her daughter. Here she is with her husband Joey. 🙏

James Talarico just won the Texas Democratic Senate primary. This is a big deal! James’ faith is not a talking point — it is who he is. He believes loving your neighbor is not just a Sunday thing, but a policy and an everyday commandment. Texas is worth fighting for. Let's go, James!

Afghans who served alongside us for 20 years were promised safety in the US. Now, the administration wants to send them back to certain death in Afghanistan

Roy Cooper just won the NC Democratic primary and I couldn't be more excited. Roy has spent his life fighting for North Carolina families and has never lost a race in the state! Senate Republicans are out of touch and North Carolina is ready for a change. Let's go Roy!

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem testified that detainees receive medical attention within 12 hours. That’s just plain false. Listen to the U.S. Citizens who were wrongfully detained and denied critical care.

We’re endangering American servicemembers for a war without any clear, consistent goals. We’ve seen this playbook before. We can’t let Trump drag us into a costly, deadly forever war in the Middle East.

Senate Republicans have abdicated their responsibility in Congress and handed all the power to Trump to drive our country into another forever war.

Archie and I are so sorry for the tragic loss and ultimate sacrifice of Minnesota’s Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor in service of our country. We offer all our compassion to Nicole’s family and loved ones, and pledge our support at this heartbreaking time.

Trump’s war will easily cost more than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits. Republicans are telling the American people—there is always money for war, always money for billionaire tax breaks. Just never any money for health care or families here at home.

Today, Congress was finally briefed on Trump's war of choice in Iran. Even behind closed doors, they couldn't get their story straight. But one thing is clear: they don't have a clue what the end game is, and it sure as hell isn't making America safer.

Instead of protecting our food and farmworkers from harmful chemicals like glyphosate, Trump is shielding chemical companies from accountability and pushing more pesticides into our food. Americans deserve a Surgeon General who will stand up for their health, not chemical wealth.

I just left the classified briefing on Iran. And it only confirmed what we already knew: Donald Trump is waging an illegal war and he has no plan to end it.

After the briefing today, my position remains unchanged and I will vote for the War Powers Resolution Act tomorrow.

Unacceptable. Trump admits he launched an unconstitutional regime-change war without a plan to protect Americans in the region.

The Trump administration knew from the start of this war of that Iran would retaliate. But they didn't anticipate needing to evacuate Americans in the region? The lack of planning for this war of choice is putting even more American lives at risk.

Congress decides whether we go to war, not the president. Trump needs to justify these military operations to the American people, especially now that six American soldiers lost their lives. That’s why I’m voting YES on @kaine.senate.gov’s War Power Resolution.

Secretary Noem is serving in a role that is meant to protect us, and she has failed miserably. She must resign, be fired, or be impeached.

The corruption doesn’t stop there. While our country faces a massive affordability crisis, Noem has managed to cushion her lifestyle by spending hundreds of millions on luxury jets and by living in a military residence for free.
- PW
She’s wasted $220 million of taxpayer money to elevate her profile in a major advertising campaign. Behind-the-scenes, she handed the deal's contracts to political allies instead of following a bidding process intended to prevent government waste and corruption.
- PW
Noem's been a chief architect of the president's massive deportation campaign, abandoning our laws to prioritize quotas. She's mobilized poorly trained agents who've wrongfully detained U.S. citizens, pepper sprayed children, and killed protesters in the street.
- PW
She started her tenure saying, “We’re going to eliminate FEMA.” And then she watched as $3 billion meant for disaster preparedness efforts were cancelled. Then, she shrank FEMA's workforce while adding more red tape to getting disaster recovery funding to impacted communities.
- PW
Kristi Noem has proven time and again that she's unfit to lead the Department of Homeland Security. Instead of making our communities safer, she’s been a rubber stamp for President Trump's policies that keep hurting Americans.
