I’m a NO on the DHS funding bill that allows ICE to keep terrorizing our communities. ICE’s conduct this past year is beyond comprehension. Now, Trump is asking Congress for more funding. No way.

Imagine being proud to have killed Roe v. Wade. Well, Trump is. He said so himself. Proud to force women to give birth, even in cases of rape, incest or when their health is at risk.

American citizens do not need to “prove” their identity to ICE agents to avoid arrest and detention. Unconstitutional.

From housing to health care, AI is increasingly being used to make consequential decisions, diagnoses, recommendations, and predictions that can significantly alter our lives. That's why @repsummerlee.bsky.social and I are reintroducing our Eliminating Bias in Algorithmic Systems Act.

Trump is so unpopular for a simple reason: He said he would focus on costs. But groceries are up. Health care is up. American families are feeling the squeeze. They know the President is not fighting for them.

On the campaign trail, President Trump promised to address inflation and lower prices. But over the past year, Trump has cost Illinois households an extra $1,781 because of his unnecessary trade wars and petty grudges that dictate both his foreign and domestic priorities.

Walter from Clayton sat down with my team to ask the question on everyone's mind: if Republicans aren't willing to extend ACA tax credits, what ARE they going to do?

When given the opportunity to lower health care costs and extend the ACA tax credits, Senate Republicans refused to come to the table. And now, because of their negligence, millions of Americans have to choose between seeing a doctor or putting food on the table.

ICE insists they’re only detaining “the worst of the worst.” This is who they’re actually detaining in Minneapolis. Do five year old children like Liam look like the worst of the worst to you?

On this 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I promise to keep fighting to protect and restore a woman’s right to choose. A medical office is too small for a woman, her doctor, and the government.

The budget deal in Congress will give ICE another $10 BILLION. Absolutely not. ICE is out of control. We must stop this rogue agency’s dangerous abuses of power, not bankroll it.

No one should be able to control a woman’s decision on when or if to start a family - it's a fundamental right that must be protected. As we mark the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, know that I'll never stop fighting for every woman's access to reproductive care.

Not only was DOGE illegally accessing your Social Security information, but it was also illegally offering to share it with third-party political groups working to overturn elections. This is a deep betrayal of the public trust and must be fully investigated. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...

Breaking into homes without warrants. Racial profiling. Arresting American citizens. ICE is no longer enforcing the law. They’re breaking it. I will not vote to give this goon squad more taxpayer money to terrorize our communities.

Another finding of war crimes & atrocities by the RSF in Sudan. No country should be fueling this murderous group. That's why we must pass my bill with @sarajacobs.house.gov to stop arm sales to the UAE so long as they keep arming the RSF. The people of Sudan have suffered for too long.

You don't need a simulation to understand the pain folks in Oregon and across the country are feeling at the grocery store. And it's all because the Trump Administration gutted SNAP benefits and wrecked our economy.

Freedom in America means our government can’t just enter our homes without proper legal authority. We were so sure of that we wrote it into our Constitution. President Trump and Secretary Noem don’t get to just throw those rights out the window on a whim.

My job is to fight for the people of Michigan. We haven't stopped doing that, and I'm not going to let this distract me. But I will say, if they can do this to a U.S. senator, what do you think they can do to just an average independent citizen? www.npr.org/2026/01/15/n...

When ICE targets people—including off-duty officers as reported by Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley—for no reason other than how they look, it destroys trust, divides communities, and fails to make us safer.

"Hit unexpectedly" is a funny way of describing deliberately taking money out of Americans' pockets to boost the profits of your corporate donors. Trumpflation at work.

Children! Absolutely disgraceful. This is what happens when Donald Trump’s government pays bounties for people. Doesn’t matter if they’re legal. Doesn’t matter who they are. Doesn’t matter if they’re five-years-old. How can anyone justify this any more?

16 years ago today, the Supreme Court erased the limit on how much the wealthy and big corporations could pump into elections. Since Citizens United, we've seen billions of dollars of dark money drowning out the voice of American voters.

Remember: Donald Trump and Education Secretary McMahon have spent months raising costs for families with student loans. This is necessary relief, but make no mistake: they've got a lot more to do if they're serious about tackling the affordability crisis flattening families.

High-speed internet isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. By strengthening USDA support for targeted broadband projects, my bipartisan bill helps lower costs and bring reliable, high-speed internet to rural Michigan and communities across the country.

Federal assistance is needed to help Washington communities recover from December’s devastating floods. The Administration was quick to respond to our emergency request. I hope they will continue to be supportive as our families and small businesses work to build back.

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

16 years ago today, SCOTUS sided with big corporations over the American people in their infamous Citizens United ruling. That decision paved the way for unchecked & secret money in our politics & helped billionaires & special interests buy more elections. We must reverse it.

The gentleman who ICE hauled without cause out of his home in his underwear into the icy Minnesota winter (after terrifying his 5-year-old grandson) was from Laos, one of the Hmong hill tribes people of the then-Kingdom of Laos. You should know a bit about the background of those people. 🧵

The Treasury Secretary says no big deal if the world stops buying U.S. Treasuries. It’s a huge deal for our country’s financial health and for Americans who would pay higher interest rates on car loans and mortgages. Why is he spouting nonsense? To suck up to a wannabe dictator.

Trump’s priorities are clear: no money to fix rising health care or grocery costs… but enough money for a conflict in Venezuela, buying Greenland, and giving ICE a $75 billion slush-fund.

We must restore the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that expired on December 31st. At a time when so many Americans are worried about the cost of living, Congress must fulfill its duty to protect Americans from rising health care costs.
