The EPA is proposing to roll back decades of progress on attacking water pollution — abandoning their responsibility to protect water quality and limiting the effectiveness of the Clean Water Act. We cannot revert back to a time when pollution caused our rivers to catch fire.

Donald Trump is suing the federal government for $10 billion. That is your money. Never in our history have we seen something like this. The billionaire President always has a new plan to make himself richer, but never a plan to make your bills more affordable.

One thing is clear as Trump continues to use the federal government as a tool to attack his political adversaries: the Federal Reserve must remain independent. www.cnn.com/business/liv...

ICE and CBP are terrorizing our communities and trampling on the Constitution. I wrote a bill to give Americans legal tools to sue and hold lawless agents accountable.

This is the type of man that Donald Trump allowed to rise to the top of America's immigration enforcement. Disgusting, but not surprising for this out-of-control and despicable administration. We must weed out all of the Dan Bovinos from positions of power—and there are A LOT more of them.

Minnesota has been at the center of America's heartbreak, but every day I’m inspired by how our state keeps showing up with compassion and resolve. This week I met with faith leaders who are at the forefront of the efforts to get ICE out of Minnesota.

In December, I inspected the ICE facility in Burlington and demanded answers about the conditions the detainees were facing. ICE has not responded. We need transparency now. The inhumane conditions and actions of ICE in Massachusetts must end. I will not stop fighting.

ICE has more funding than all the other federal law enforcement agencies combined. They're not going to stop at Minneapolis. They're going to continue unleashing evil and cruelty on the streets of American cities until Congress puts a stop to this.

Trump promised lower costs. Instead he delivered the opposite: higher costs, chaos, and corruption. This November’s election is an opportunity for us to stand up and do what is right for our state and our country.

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.

Where the hell is the "Board of Peace?” Over 500 Palestinians have been killed since the “ceasefire.” This comes days after the IDF itself admitted the Palestinian death toll is over 70,000. The use of American taxpayer-funded weapons makes us complicit. Stop the slaughter.

Americans pay taxes for things like infrastructure and social security. They don’t pay them so they can line Trump’s pockets.

The Fulton County raid smells to high heaven of the dark work of Trump’s secretive Weaponization Working Group, which Tulsi Gabbard claims to have “stood up.” That would explain her improper presence at a supposedly domestic law enforcement scene.

Why is the President sending the FBI to Fulton County instead of going after violent criminals, organized crime, and pedophile rings? Because he knows the people have turned against him and his only option left is to attack free elections.

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.

Today, I voted no on the bill that included funding for ICE. The events taking place in Minneapolis represent a cultural moment — where people across the political spectrum saw, with their own eyes, U.S. citizens abused, threatened, and gunned down. Our fundamental rights as Americans, trampled.

All Americans expect and deserve a government that tells the truth and doesn’t murder its own citizens. Over the next two weeks, Republicans must prioritize the safety of the American people above all else. This reign of terror from DHS, Border Patrol and ICE cannot continue.
