An update on where things stand on FISA: Early Friday morning, we successfully defeated a bill in the Senate to rubber-stamp the Trump administration's authority to spy on Americans without a warrant. This is a big win on privacy.

President Trump was asked point blank if he would rule out giving your tax dollars to cop beaters and refused to do so. His callous disregard for the officers injured during the January 6 insurrection is disgusting.

Countdown: this Friday, the MAGA DOJ has to respond under oath to a federal court concern that DOJ slush fund lawyers committed a “fraud on the court.” I’ve never heard of senior DOJ folks ever accused of such a thing. Four days left!

Back at First Avenue last night for the National Independent Venue Association’s annual conference. ⭐ Thanks to Dayna Frank for hosting. I fought to pass the Save Our Stages Act because independent venues bring people together, support local jobs, and strengthen our communities.

The White House is the people’s house. Trump wants to turn it into a monument to his ego.

A UFC cage. A Tesla showroom. A gold-encrusted ballroom. Trump has been busy turning the White House front lawn into his billionaire playground. What has he done for American families?

He went from orange to red. While the President's tantrums are absurd, his delusions of voter fraud are dangerous. The President is an unhinged disgrace, and the American people deserve a Congress that will stand up to Trump's lies, not enable them.

Participating in a violent insurrection should be a good enough reason for any job not to hire someone. Yet, under Trump, you can be rewarded with a job at the Pentagon. This is a CLEAR threat to our national security—and this appointment should not even be REMOTELY acceptable.

Today is the anniversary of the Supreme Court case that paved the way for legal contraception nationwide. Now, 61 years later, that right is under attack. That’s why I’m fighting to pass my Right to Contraception Act to protect the freedom to make decisions about your own health.

Bill Pulte has shown that he will go into Americans' personal records to weaponize the government against people. I have a fundamental problem with someone like that being the Director of National Intelligence, and it should send a shiver down the spine of every American.

Trump is completely unhinged. He promised to lower costs. Instead, his tariffs, health care cuts, and war with Iran have sent prices soaring. While Americans struggle to pay their bills, he's focused on settling scores and chasing crazy conspiracy theories. Enough is enough.

Tech execs warn AI could concentrate wealth so much it breaks society. But AI didn’t build itself. It was trained on our ideas, funded by our tax dollars, and powered by shared resources. If Big Tech makes billions from what we helped create, the American people deserve a share.

Trump Calling Welker “crooked” “stupid” and then the ultimate—“darling”—for asking him what evidence he has that elections are rigged? What is “crooked” is the money for the ballroom, what is “stupid” are the tariffs. And what is “darling” is a first class journalist.

100 days of Trump’s illegal war. 8 times Senate Democrats have given Republicans a chance to end this illegal war. How much longer do prices have to rise and families of service members have to wait for Republican Senators to grow a spine?
