I am calling on @icegov.bsky.social Director Todd Lyons to immediately confirm or deny the existence of a “domestic terrorist” database. If true, you’re violating the Constitution. If not, maybe talk to your “border czar” to get your stories straight. This isn’t a game–it’s the Constitution.

Today, @duckworth.senate.gov and I met with the Federation of Independent Illinois Colleges and Universities to discuss the Trump Administration’s attacks on higher education. As this Admin creates new barriers to accessing education, We made it clear that we stand with students and educators.

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

Poland has a long history of dealing with Russian intel operations. The Trump/Russia connection is real and the Epstein files have blown it open.

Federal agents tear-gassed demonstrators and children in Portland. An agent in Colorado stole a woman’s phone and threw her to the ground. The disgraced former head of Border Patrol urged mass arrests. This isn't what Americans signed up for. We must rein in ICE.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs “on Day One.” More than 1 year into Trump’s economy and prices are still climbing higher. Americans can’t keep footing the bill for Donald Trump’s failures.

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.

Good news – This reverses Trump’s brutal cuts to medical research and housing programs and forces Republicans to negotiate on ICE. If they don’t agree to real reforms in two weeks, DHS will shut down.

ICE detained multiple kids (all under the age of 10!) in the last week alone. Still kidnapping people based solely on the way they look. Still arresting parents at school pick up. Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin won’t change that. ICE leaving will.

When climate change makes homeowners' insurance unattainable, houses unmortgageable, and reduces incomes, jobs, and economic growth, the costs of complacency become existential. I’m headed to the Senate Floor for my 304th Time to Wake Up speech.

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE: End the roving patrols and racial profiling. Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police. Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

I want to be very clear: Kristi Noem doesn't get participation points by saying agents will start doing what they should've done all along. This is the bare minimum and should apply to agents nationwide. And there is still so much more to do.

Good news, but the fight isn't over. I'll keep working to protect and support Haitian communities in Delaware and across the country. TPS was designed to give safe haven to those fleeing crises in their home countries— attempts to deny our Haitian neighbors that safety is cruel.

Trump called for Republicans to, “take over voting in 15 states in the country.” Trump calling on his own party to nationalize voting is just more dangerous, autocratic poison. Our democracy is at risk, and it’s all the President’s fault.

Trump's pumping agents onto ICE’s payroll at record speed. He's giving them a mere 47 days of training (Trump is the 47th President). And he's sending them onto the streets with loaded guns and telling them they have full immunity. Congress should not be funding ICE’s abuses.

Donald Trump called Haiti a “sh**hole country”. Secretary Noem called immigrants “killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies”. It was wrong then, and it is wrong now. Haitian TPS holders are contributing members to society. Pleased to see the D.C. District Court reject these racist attacks.
