This February, we celebrate Black History Month and recognize the great contributions and sacrifices Black Americans have made for our nation. From arts and music to science, technology, and public service–Black history is American history, and we are stronger because of it.

The Director of ICE admitting he wanted the deportation process to be like "Amazon Prime but for human beings" is EXACTLY how we got to this point. The inhumane tactics we're seeing come from the top and they must be reined in.

Hey @mayorofseattle.bsky.social—tens of millions in funding for child care and housing are headed your way! I said I'd tear up Trump's budget and write a new one, so that's what I did. The spending bills I negotiated outright REJECT Trump's awful housing & homelessness funding cuts.

World leaders overseas are losing jobs and facing investigations over Epstein ties. In the U.S.? The guy’s best friend is sitting in the Oval Office like nothing happened. Absolutely disgusting and humiliating.

Donald Trump turned the funds for Gateway off, and he’s the only one who can turn them back on. The hardworking men and women of @weareliuna.bsky.social and I have 3 words for the President: FUND GATEWAY NOW!

Trump’s reckless tariff taxes cost American families an estimated $1,700 last year. I helped pass 4 Senate resolutions to revoke harmful tariffs but House Republican leadership are blocking progress on lowering your costs because they’d rather protect Trump than fix affordability.

Meet Jeremy Carl, Trump’s nominee for Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations. Even he knows his racist and antisemitic comments make him unqualified to serve as an American diplomat — he tried to delete them. 1/2

There is NOTHING ‘America First’ about selling out some of our most pristine waters so a Chilean mining company can come in, take our minerals, ship them to China for processing, then sell them off. All while polluting the Boundary Waters in the process.

Supporting America’s domestic critical minerals supply chain is key for our national security and economic security. My bill does just that, while boosting New Hampshire’s economy, home to leading rare earth refining company Phoenix Tailings.

Yesterday, I joined @warren.senate.gov to call out the Trump Administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. For 15 years, CFPB protected consumers from Wall Street and shady lending practices, saving them more than $21 billion. Congress must stand up and choose borrowers over billionaires.

The Trump Administration continues to disparage my colleagues who have served our nation. It’s an honor to serve with Senator Kelly and Senator Slotkin. Threatening them with punishment is an insult to service members and public servants everywhere.

Trump’s family is billions of dollars richer than last year. The average American family? They’re worse off. Trump’s top priority has always been himself. If he spent half as much time actually being President as he has profiting off his presidency, the story might be different.

The CFPB has returned billions of dollars to Americans who were conned & scammed by big corporations. Naturally, many billionaires didn't like that, so they had Trump go after the CFPB. That's why we must protect the CFPB & ensure the rich don't get to play by their own rules.

Ghislaine Maxwell is not just a convicted child sex trafficker—she is also a serial abuser of many of Epstein's victims. It's bad enough that Trump moved her to a prison so lax it's called "Club Fed", but ANY kind of pardon needs to be COMPLETELY RULED OUT. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

As I warned in a letter to Secretary Bessent last year, reckless cuts at the IRS have left it woefully unprepared this tax season. Unfortunately, it’s taxpayers who will bear the brunt of the cuts, with refund delays and error rates expected to surge. www.govexec.com/management/2...
