Republicans’ refusal to extend the ACA tax credits pushed thousands in WA state off of their health care plans. The same Republicans who said keeping health care costs from skyrocketing was too expensive didn’t bat an eye when they made tax breaks for billionaires permanent.

Of course Kristi Noem should be fired. Of course she should be impeached. Of course she should resign in disgrace. But also, she should have never had the job in the first place.

My mother was born a Jew in Warsaw one year before the Nazi invasion of Poland. My mother and her parents escaped the Holocaust, but lost nearly everyone else in their family.

What could happen to people on President Trump’s secret “domestic terrorist” list? They could be targeted by the federal government just for disagreeing with President Trump’s agenda.

We can't afford to let funding for the Gateway Tunnel Project lapse. Our jobs, communities, and economy – not just in NJ, but around the country – depend on it.

For an administration so “focused” on rooting out fraud, Trump and his goons are awfully quiet about the massive fraud in Mississippi–or does it not count if it happens in a "red state"?

ICE is operating with zero transparency or accountability. It’s unacceptable. Congress should immediately pass our bills to unmask ICE, protect sensitive locations like schools or churches, and cut the excessive slush fund that MAGA Republicans gave ICE.

Micayla Pretti with moving words about her older brother Alex Pretti. “Alex was kind, generous, and had a way of lighting up every room he walked into. He was incredibly intelligent and deeply passionate, and he made people feel safe. But most importantly, he was my brother."

Career prosecutors at the Justice Department requested to investigate the killing of Renee Macklin Good by an ICE agent. But they were denied. I led @judiciarydems.senate.gov in demanding the Civil Rights Division open an investigation into the death of Ms. Good.

I’m voting no on DHS funding. The horrifying killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti show that Department of Homeland Security is out of control, and Congress needs to put up more guardrails that restore transparency and oversight.

Why is there no money for your health care? Turn on the TV. That’s where your money went. Towards killing Americans.

As the Trump Administration cuts funding from hospitals, we must address the nursing shortage. I introduced the bipartisan Nurse Faculty Shortage Reduction Act to close the pay gap between clinical nursing and nurse faculty roles. This investment will address a root cause of our nursing shortage.

Republicans have a choice: Listen to Americans and swiftly fund every federal agency except ICE so we can ensure real change – OR – Republicans can keep blindly following Trump’s chaos and jeopardize healthcare, defense, transportation, and education funding.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the more than 6 million Jews — and millions of others — who were murdered by the brutal Nazi regime. May their memory be a reminder that we must fight antisemitism, hatred, & bigotry in all their forms. Never Again.

No one’s shocked the Trump Administration isn't pursuing a civil rights investigation into the killing of Alex Pretti. But everyone should be deeply disturbed. There is no lie they won't tell to evade accountability. Congress must force our watchdogs to hold independent investigations immediately.

In the wake of ICE’s abuses and the administration's recklessness, Senate Democrats will NOT pass the DHS budget until it is rewritten. I will vote no on any legislation that funds ICE until it is reined in and overhauled.

Today, we honor and remember the six million Jews who were senselessly murdered in the Holocaust. Unfortunately, the scourge of anti-Semitism still runs rampant today, and it’s up to us to stand up to hate and pledge #NeverAgain. #HolocaustRemembranceDay

This should be a bigger story: White collar criminals are running free so that Donald Trump can pursue his cruel immigration agenda. Trump is reassigning federal law enforcement officers who go after rich criminals to ICE. I’m calling for an investigation.

Good. If you build an AI that makes child pornography on demand for anyone in the world to use, you should be held accountable. I’m glad the EU is stepping up and investigating if the Trump administration won’t. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Democrats are ready to avert a GOP shutdown. But Republicans are threatening to block the 5 bills we all agree on. Why? After people have been shot & killed in broad daylight, they're insisting ICE—which they admit has enough money—needs MORE money without any new strings attached.

This is personal for me. I wore the uniform. I know what real professionalism looks like. When leadership tells agents they’re untouchable, people get hurt and in Minnesota, people have died. That’s not law enforcement. That’s failure, and it demands accountability.

Bovino’s departure is a far cry from full justice and accountability – we still need real investigations into these killings and serious reforms to ICE – but it’s the first step in showing this administration can be held accountable to public pressure. Let’s keep pushing.

If Republicans want to defend the ICE killings in Minneapolis & shut down key federal agencies, that’s their choice. But Senate Democrats can & will stand up for justice, accountability, & real reform and safeguards to prevent continued ICE abuse & unjust lethal force.

Whether it's about tariffs or this regime's corruption, Trump does nothing but lie. And now, as Americans are being killed in broad daylight, the lies are more brazen than ever. His lies can't cover up what we can see with our own eyes: DHS is wreaking havoc on our cities.

Following Trump's foolish tariffs and chaotic economic policies, Americans' confidence in the economy plummeted to its lowest point in 12 years. The House and Senate need to work together to overturn these tariffs. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/c...

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the millions of Jewish lives lost during one of the most hateful and cruel campaigns our world has seen. Today is an important reminder that we must fight against rising antisemitism here in the U.S. and abroad.

Last year, Republicans gave ICE $75 BILLION – more than most militaries across the globe – while refusing to fund your health care. I fought it then and I’m fighting it now. I’m voting NO on DHS funding.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memory of the 6 million Jews and millions of others murdered by the Nazi regime. “Never again” is a call to protect human rights, confront antisemitism, fascism and hatred, and continue to educate on the history of genocide.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the 6 million Jewish people and the millions of others murdered during the Holocaust. We must also recommit ourselves to standing up against antisemitism, hatred, and bigotry wherever we see it.

With increased global and economic uncertainty, ensuring New Hampshire businesses have the support they need is a top priority for my last year in Congress. It was great to join the New England Council last Friday for their Capitol Hill Report to discuss these priorities and more.

Stephen Miller is the architect of some of the worst and most dangerous of the Trump administration's policies. This includes the chaos in Minnesota. I called for his firing years ago, but he continues to serve in this White House. When will enough be enough? He should be fired.

On National Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember over 6 million Jews systematically killed by the Nazis. Antisemitism, Holocaust denial, and toxic rhetoric are on the rise around the world and here in America. We must stand against hate and recommit to protecting human dignity.
