I’m glad that Senate Democrats were able to forge a deal that separates out full-year funding for DHS so we can move forward on five critical bills that will bring much needed relief to Americans across the country. These appropriations bills include incredible victories.

ICE needs to be ripped down to the studs. We need to start over and hold this Administration accountable for this mess. Nothing has changed. Minnesota is still suffering and sending in a new guy to run ICE won’t change that – but Congress can.

Tonight I voted to advance five bipartisan bills that will allow us to fund 96% of our government. It also begins a two-week clock on urgent, bipartisan talks, to ensure accountability for what happened in Minnesota and to put in place concrete reforms at DHS. My full statement:

Senate Republicans have two weeks to work with us to rein in ICE’s abuses of power or DHS will shut down until they do. The clock starts now.

This campaign is born out of one of the most difficult times for our state. But in those hard moments, Minnesota doesn’t look away or give up — we stand up and get involved. We will never give up on this democracy or each other.

Tonight, I voted NO on a package of bills that included a CR to add funding to DHS. I've made it clear that we cannot send another penny to ICE without serious reforms. Masked men are killing Americans and terrorizing our communities. The CR included no reforms. So I voted NO.

Senate Democrats were successful in separating and passing the five bipartisan government funding bills from the DHS bill. (1/2)
- PM
I said I’d rip up Trump's budget & write a new one—and that's what we did. The Senate passed 5 funding bills that reject Trump's catastrophic cuts while splitting off the DHS bill. I fought hard to protect funding families count on—from housing to cancer research.

The American people want the government to remain open, and they are also demanding an end to the deliberate intimidation, trampling of civil rights, and outrageous lawlessness by ICE agents that have left two American citizens shot dead. My full statement:

My position has been clear and is unchanged: I will not vote for one more dime to fund Trump's lawless DHS. I voted NO.

I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents. No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes. Get ICE out of Minnesota.

American businesses have for years propped up “worst climate obstructor” U.S. Chamber (aka #ChamberofCarbon). Corporate leadership now has to be found overseas. Way too many U.S. CEO lips on Trump’s rear end.

By joining the unprecedented FBI raid on the Fulton County, Georgia elections office, DNI Gabbard has chosen to pursue baseless conspiracy theories over her sworn duty to warn Americans about real and ongoing foreign threats to our elections.

They're seizing ballots. Raiding homes without warrants. Gunning down protestors in the streets. And now, arresting journalists. They’re coming for our freedoms. America, stand up while you still can.

Tulsi Gabbard—who has a long history of promoting bizarre conspiracy theories—was at the election office raid in Fulton County, Georgia. This whole “investigation” is a massive waste of federal resources expended to protect the ego of an overly sensitive President who can’t accept he lost.

Journalists arrested. Raids on election facilities. U.S. citizens killed by federal officials. Bogus prosecutions or firings of those who speak out. This is not the kind of country we should be.

Trump thinks he can decide how our elections are run. WRONG. Bondi thinks she can use Americans as pawns to interfere with free and fair elections. WRONG. Trump thinks of states as just agents for the federal government. WRONG. Everything this regime does and thinks is just wrong, wrong, wrong.

I’m incredibly disturbed by the Justice Department’s continued gross mishandling of the Epstein files. Victims deserve better. America deserves better.

Following the latest Epstein files release, DOJ is still violating federal law. The Justice Department was supposed to release the full files in December and explain their redactions to Congress by January 3rd.

$31 billion in extra utility costs, much of it driven by climate perils caused by fossil fuel pollution; much of it caused by fossil fuel minions in Trump administration blocking and delaying low-cost clean energy to reward Trump’s fossil fuel buddies.

President Trump just said that he wants housing prices to stay high, at a time when so many people are already struggling to keep a roof over their heads. He couldn't be more wrong or out of touch.

I’m voting NO. I will not give ICE one more dime without real, meaningful reform on paper. Two American citizens were killed at point blank in less than one month because ICE was given a slush fund and a blank check to act without accountability. I won’t fund Trump’s private military.

What will lower energy bills is getting Revolution Wind up and operating, delivering 9.9 cent/kWhs into an 18 cent/kwh grid. Trump is messing with that to keep us buying higher-cost power from his big fossil-fuel-buddy donors.

We have always organized and shown up for each other. It’s in our blood. That’s why nobody should be surprised that so many Minnesotans have volunteered what little free time they have to help one another.

There's no way that ICE agents with barely a month of training know how to use force, or when not to. That’s how we get reckless killings in our streets.

Handing South Korea the keys to make nuclear weapons would undermine global efforts to prevent the bomb’s spread. US nuclear cooperation agreements should prohibit uranium enrichment and reprocessing. We must hold the line here.

“Police chiefs who have spent half a decade trying to persuade a skeptical public that officers would curb their use of violence are contending with widespread alarm over federal officers ushering an innocent man into the snow in his shorts, arresting a 5-year-old and killing U.S. citizens.”

Families across the country—especially in rural areas—are going broke because of Trump’s cuts to affordable child care. As a working mom, child care costs almost held me back. @warnock.senate.gov and I won’t let the same happen to families today, no matter where they live.

Key to the Fed’s effectiveness is its credibility and independence. Does Kevin Warsh have the guts to tell Trump his policy choices are wrong for the economy? Whether Warsh values the reputation and independence of our nation’s central bank will determine if he is the right choice for the job.

Freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to peacefully protest are core American values. Trump's crusade against journalists is another one of his mob boss tactics of intimidation and suppression.
