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.”

Devastated to learn of Catherine O’Hara’s passing. Kate McCallister, Moira Rose, and so many of her other characters will live with us forever. Thank you for bringing us so much joy for decades.

In this week's Intel Brief, we dig into three important topics: 1️⃣ How ICE operates with different sets of rules than the police. 2️⃣ The raid on a Georgia election office, and the larger efforts to collect voter rolls 3️⃣ How the chaotic approach to China is hurting Americans youtu.be/Sh0ilxogooc

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.

The plan they’re putting in motion is deeply predictable: Hold a sham raid to “find” fake evidence of voter fraud Use it as a pretext to influence our elections We cannot be silent while this administration prepares their assaults on our elections.

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.

Listen to what doctors are telling us will happen because of Republican health care cuts: Longer wait times, higher premiums, closed hospitals, and needless suffering.

Any nominee to the Fed must be committed to protecting the Fed’s independence & putting the needs of American families over the personal preferences of the President.

My job is to stand my ground. Fix what’s broken. Make life better for people. This is a hard moment for our state — which only makes it more important. Don’t look down. Don’t look away from each other. Look to the North Star. If we believe good can prevail, it will.

There's some stiff competition, but this might take the cake for the most blatant form of SHEER CORRUPTION and self-enrichment we've seen from this crook of a President. Know anyone who still supports Trump? Do they support giving him $10 BILLION in taxpayer dollars??

Arresting journalists is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Another attack on the truth and First Amendment rights by the Trump administration. We all need to stand for a free press.

The Trump administration arrested journalists for exercising their First Amendment rights. The FBI raided a GA election office as part of a baseless conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. And the White House is targeting states that did not vote for this president by cutting off critical funding.

I was moved by today’s interfaith vigil honoring the lives of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. We stood together in grief, prayer, and against the terror and lawlessness of ICE. This moment reflects a growing demand for justice and meaningful oversight of a cruel and inhumane DHS.

Trump's IRS lawsuit is demanding $10 billion from taxpayers. $10 billion would pay for 4 months of ACA tax credits for millions who can't afford health care—because of him. In Trump's ideal world, you make him richer. While he makes you sicker and poorer.

The arrest of journalists for covering a protest is a grave attack on the first amendment and freedom of the press. And proof the Trump Administration is not deescalating. There will be accountability for these abuses of power.

Across the country, people are rising up to protest this administration and its abuses. Sending agents to arrest journalists for reporting on those protests is an egregious violation of the first amendment.

The Senate shouldn’t consider any Federal Reserve nominee while Trump and his DOJ carry on their politically motivated lawfare against multiple members of the Fed—certainly not one whose primary qualification is his willingness to do Trump’s bidding on interest rates.

The Economist magazine, with a world-wide audience, steps in hard against Trump/Noem’s violent embarrassment of our country with ICE’s goon-squad behavior. It’s remarkable, and sad, that Trump’s America looks like this to the world.

Last June, Trump said Iran’s nuclear program was “completely and totally obliterated.” It wasn’t true, and now he is planning a new attack. Trump’s lies just never stop, and the dangers just keep growing.

Journalism is not a crime. The Justice Department should investigate the federal agents who killed US citizens in broad daylight, not arrest reporters like Don Lemon. He should be released. It's a spine-chilling assault on press freedom and threatens the public's right to know.

Watch this space: Last night, the President called VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti an ‘insurrectionist’. Meaning that he was a person who was engaged in violent uprising against an authority or government.

I was just talking to Don Lemon on Monday. He’s doing what journalists are supposed to do: asking questions and speaking truth. In the past week this Administration has now blown through the First, Second, and Fourth amendment in Minneapolis. We can't let this government trample over our rights.

Arresting journalists doing their jobs, sending the DNI to raid election offices in GA, unleashing fed agents that kill Americans & then cover it up. Trump’s authoritarian takeover is quickening. We must respond like the people of Minneapolis —peacefully but with fierce urgency.

"We're not with the activists we're just reporting on them." This is from Don Lemon's reporting at the St. Paul church. Arresting journalists for simply highlighting what's happening in this country is a gross violation of our First Amendment rights. He must be released immediately.

Donald Trump said anybody who disagrees with him will never be Fed Chair. Kevin Warsh – who cared more about helping Wall Street after the 2008 crash than millions of unemployed Americans – has apparently passed the loyalty test.
