Safety in our communities is paramount but policing US citizens has always been the job of law enforcement, not DOD. The Nat'l Guard deployment in DC is burning readiness, morale & taxpayer dollars on missions that don't belong to the military. Worse, it's eroding public trust our Armed Forces need.

Trump has made billions while in office and wants you to believe there's nothing wrong with it. He’s making himself and other billionaires richer while jacking up prices for everyone else. Being President is supposed to mean serving your country — not cashing in on it.

Trump wants to spend $1.5 TRILLION on war, and is asking for $70 BILLION on top of that, all while his sons are profiting from major defense contracts. Are we investing in national security? Or are we investing in the Trump family’s portfolio?

And if you weren’t already struggling enough under higher gas prices… Trump is now unveiling MORE tariffs that are just a big sales tax on everything you buy.

1st Lt. Tyler Feehan, Sgt. Angel Rampersad, Pvt. Isabella Gonzales and Sgt. Michael Swinton gave their lives admirably serving our nation. Erasing their sacrifices is a disgraceful attempt by this fragile President to minimize the costs of his illegal war.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s sons never got to say goodbye to their father. It’s high time the Department of Homeland Security reigns in ICE’s reckless and cavalier behavior before they tear more families apart.

These "new" tariffs are more of the same— chaos and confusion raising costs for working people.

After RFK Jr. failed to respond to his first inquiry, Sen. Ossoff is again pressing Sec. Kennedy on cuts to cyclosporiasis monitoring. “Your silence amidst an ongoing outbreak of diarrheal disease is indicative of the reckless arrogance with which you demolished America's public health defense."

The American people are already paying MORE because of Trump's reckless war with Iran, and now he's slapping MORE Trump Tariff Taxes on basic essentials. When will working people get a break from Trump's chaos?

Thankfully, members of law enforcement who investigate these incidents take it seriously, because violence and threats of violence have no place in our politics.

Democrat, Independent or Republican, the men and women who go into public service choose to do the hard, unglamorous job of making government work for people. They deserve respect and safety.

No matter our differences, threats of violence against local leaders are never acceptable. This time it was in Holly, but I’ve seen it happen across the state. This is part of a troubling trend of violent threats targeting local officials across the country. www.fox2detroit.com/news/holly-v...

The Trump administration is turning the clock back on school civil rights to the 1960s: cutting staff, gutting the Department of Education, and eliminating tools that protect our kids from harm. All students deserve to live up to their potential with a school system that supports that.

Refusing any type of independent investigation is not normal. Blocking local law enforcement fromreviewing evidence is not normal. ICE is beyond repair. We can no longer reform our way out of this. It is well time to strip it down to the studs and start over.

In the past two weeks, two more people were fatally shot by ICE agents: Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston and 26-year-old Jordan Sebastian Duran Guerrero in Maine. None of the agents involved were wearing body cameras.

And they wanted to know that no family or community would ever be forced to endure a tragedy like this, at the hands of a federal secret police force, again. Today, our fight is far from over. The questions raised by Alex Pretti’s death have not gone away, they have only grown more urgent.

His compassion touched more lives than he probably ever realized. Alex’s killing shook Minnesota and Americans everywhere. People wanted answers. They wanted accountability.

Six months ago, Alex Pretti was shot by federal immigration agents on the streets of Minneapolis, just 18 days after ICE fatally shot Renee Good. Alex was a 37-year-old intensive care nurse for veterans, an outdoorsman, a dog lover, a brother, and a son.

I had a great time meeting with New Mexican students involved in advocacy, service, and justice. Their passion and commitment shows us the impact young people can have when they're supported. I look forward to continuing to speak up for our students, scholars, and young leaders.

Given the lack of details, Trump contradicting his own team, and Saudi officials disputing him, I am a long way from being that confident this agreement is in the U.S.’s interest. 8/8
- AK
Which is it? And what are other provisions? We don’t know because they have not released or even described the details. 7/8
- AK
We need to ensure that an agreement bars enrichment of nuclear materials. The original announcement leaves open the possibility of enrichment in Saudi Arabia — which Trump now disputes. 6/8
- AK
We also need to ensure this is not benefiting Trump and his family at our expense. 5/8

I haven’t seen evidence of how Americans would benefit from this agreement. Trump appears to be responding to these concerns by adding conditions that the Biden administration sought — normalization with Israel. 4/8
- AK
The U.S. has long sought to ensure that such agreement with the Kingdom includes clear benefits for Americans and safeguards against abuses that could enable a nuclear weapons program. What I’ve seen so far raises questions about whether these conditions have been met. 3/8
- AK
This agreement is a serious piece of business that has major national security implications, but this administration is not treating it as such. 2/8

Details of the U.S.-Saudi civil nuclear deal the Trump administration reached are unclear. Less than a day after the administration announced a deal, Trump announced two major amendments that Saudis dispute. THREAD

Has there ever been a more Low T President than Trump? Why is Sec Hegseth agreeing to disrespect American heroes just to assuage Trump’s fragile ego? Disgraceful!

The CFPB is supposed to protect consumers. But Trump has used it to protect his big corporate donors instead. I asked Trump's CFPB nominee if he'll stand up to the corruption.

The DOJ withdrew its subpoenas to @nytimes.com reporters. At his confirmation hearing, I challenged Jay Clayton about whether these subpoenas respected the First Amendment and followed DOJ policy.

Ten years later, sweaty and slurring, he's still promising a health care plan he's never delivered on. Instead, Americans got the highest health care costs ever and hospitals laying off staff or shutting down entirely. All thanks to Trump's health care sabotage & Medicaid cuts.

Chinese cars are driving surveillance collectors for the Chinese Communist Party—full-motion video, 3D mapping and geolocation. As a former CIA officer, I can't in good faith say they should be sold in the United States.
- ES
Democrats and Republicans disagree on a lot of serious things. But on banning Chinese cars, we're aligned. The Connected Vehicle Security Act is about protecting our national security and our economic security.

Fair housing laws only work when local organizations can investigate violations and enforce laws. I’m proud of the Mass. Fair Housing Center for standing against Trump’s cruel attacks on fair housing groups. Housing is a human right. Everyone deserves to find a home without fear of discrimination.

I love connecting with New Jerseyans at the Capitol and yesterday's Rutgers summer reception for students, internship supervisors, and alumni was no exception! It's always a joy to hear how NJ students are spending their summers and what they're setting out to achieve.
