Todd Blanche’s continued disrespect of those who Jeffrey Epstein preyed upon is appalling. He belongs nowhere near the Department of Justice, let alone running it.

ICE and their contractors are completely out of control. Everyone has the right to protest peacefully without fear of violence. We’re keeping the victim of this shooting in our thoughts. We will keep fighting to end this lawlessness and instill accountability. www.denverpost.com/2026/07/16/s...

Trump wants $1.5 TRILLION of your tax dollars for war while American families are facing higher prices on just about everything. Not on my watch. I'm using my power to tear up that sad excuse of a budget and write a new one.

Up in Ely meeting with Forest Service leaders and state and local fire fighters and elected officials of both parties to hear directly about the unprecedented fires burning across the Superior National Forest. Grateful for their work.

6 years ago today, we lost a giant of our history. I will never forget traveling with John Lewis on three civil rights pilgrimages to Alabama & marching over the Edmund Pettus Bridge where, in 1965, he was beaten bloody while marching for the right to vote. [1/2]

One year ago, Trump enacted the biggest Medicaid cut in history in his Big, Ugly Betrayal. Today, @durbin.senate.gov and I heard from providers, patients and advocates about the true costs of these cuts—and what comes next.

Trump’s “Golden Dome” project has the potential to be a $1+ trillion waste of taxpayer money. Ground-based missile defense is hard. Missile defense from space is even harder, and the physics do not favor the defense. We should be investing in systems that actually work.

Republicans refused even the most basic guardrails on ICE. Now the consequences are being measured in lives. The Trump admin rushed 12,000 agents onto our streets without ensuring they were fit to carry a badge and a gun—and Republicans gave this rogue agency vast power and no accountability.

Far too many of our health care facilities are facing workforce shortages. I'm proud to have introduced the Welcome Back to the Health Care Workforce Act alongside Lisa Murkowski to make it easier for internationally educated health care professionals to help close those gaps.

They are losing, and they know it. Election officials will not be intimidated. Senate Democrats will make sure resources are in place to fight back against any illegal activity by the Trump administration.

Six years ago today, we lost Congressman John Lewis. I walked the Edmund Pettus Bridge with him — the bridge where he was violently attacked for standing up for voting rights. His message has never been more important: the right to vote is precious. It’s sacred. It’s our job to carry on his torch.

Before the Trump Administration approved this lucrative deal for the UAE, it should have leveraged an end to the UAE’s reported role in the Sudanese war as well as the release of Emirati human rights activist Ahmed Mansoor.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs “on Day One.” But everyday costs are through the roof, forcing more people to take out “Buy Now, Pay Later” loans just to make it through the month. And now these loans – originally marketed as no interest – are ramping up fees on Americans.

Health care premiums are skyrocketing because he won’t extend the tax credits. His tariffs are crushing Minnesota farmers & small businesses, and his war with Iran is raising prices even more.

Nobody should be forced to choose between life-saving medication or paying rent. Yet this is reality for Americans managing diabetes. We must end this crisis, and by capping insulin costs at $35 a month, my INSULIN Act would be a major step in doing just that.

Trump’s speech was full of lies and frankly embarrassing. He lost in 2020 and he’s trying to scare people away from voting in 2026. The bottom line: our elections are secure, safe, and free. If Republicans give a damn about our democracy they need to stand up and push back.

We should all be paying attention. The president is actively attacking the integrity of our elections to try and justify his voter suppression efforts. Here's the truth: the 2020 election was free and fair. Now, we need to stay vigilant to make sure the 2026 elections are too.
