Reasons why Trump wants to invade Greenland… A). If you’re going to distract from the Epstein files, you might as well go big. B). What’s the Mercator Projection? C). If you can steal a Nobel Prize, why not Greenland? D). Sadly, all true.

How exactly does any of this lower costs for working families?!?

The first year of the Trump administration has set us back. Tariffs are increasing costs by $1,700 a year. ICE is making us less safe. The President is more focused on Greenland & his ballroom than helping Americans. We need to lower costs and end the chaos & corruption.

Stories like Teresa’s, who saw her health care premiums spike 620%, have become all too common since the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits. We must come to a bipartisan solution to ease the burden on families across the U.S. www.ms.now/news/crushin...

Exactly. YOU are paying more because Trump is turning tariffs on and off like a toddler with a light switch. In addition to tearing apart our closest alliances, the American people will get the benefit of paying more for virtually everything.

So now countries that don’t fall in line with Trump’s ridiculous plan to acquire Greenland are threatened with steep tariffs. Neither his foreign policy nor his economic policy make any sense, and we all foot the bill with higher costs.

He promised to drain the swamp... We got massive corruption & insider dealings. He promised lower prices... Costs are rising. He promised no new wars... He invaded Venezuela, bombed Iran & is warmongering with Greenland. Trump: Corruption, costs, conflict. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and Attorney General Ellison have the right to free speech last time I checked. It’s guaranteed in the Constitution—which President Trump and Attorney General Bondi swore an oath to uphold.

An order to our military members to invade our ally Greenland, without congressional authorization, and with no self-defense basis, would be “manifestly unlawful” under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. They must disobey it.

In just one year, Trump has abused his office at every turn. He has corruptly worked to enrich himself and his family, while doing nothing to help yours with the cost of living. The fight to preserve our democracy isn’t over — it’s just getting started.

Trump promised to lower costs "on Day One." We're one year in, and: - the cost of groceries is up - the cost of housing is up - the cost of healthcare is up

Thanks to this administration’s reckless empowerment of ICE, they’re now breaking down the doors of U.S. citizens and dragging them into the snow.

I talked to NPR this morning about why Trump's threats to Greenland are a dumb way to get what we want. Bottom line: Trump is risking everything for nothing.

Trump's foreign policy is about one thing: enriching his family & uber rich friends. Look closely & you'll find someone cashing in. In Venezuela, it was hedge fund owners and oil interests. With Greenland, it’s billionaires like Trump-donor Ron Lauder, pushing this land grab.

First in Chicago, now in Minneapolis, DHS and ICE agents are violating immigrants’ and U.S. citizens’ constitutional rights. DHS Secretary Noem must answer for these actions.

It’s been one year and the results are in. Donald Trump betrayed the people of Georgia. He came to my state and he promised us lower prices. Then he got into office and immediately made things more expensive. We won’t forget it.

From flying in combat to commanding the space shuttle, teamwork was the only way to accomplish the mission. That same approach guides my work in the Senate: bring people together, focus on the facts, and get results for Americans, rather than getting bogged down in partisan BS.

Turns out, most Americans don’t support Trump taking over Greenland. Maybe it’s because this does nothing to address the issues they are facing every day.

Trump’s actions in Minneapolis aren’t about immigration enforcement. They’re about sowing fear and disrupting the lives of everyone in Minneapolis – including citizens.

Trump's regime has made it clear they don't care about funding SNAP or WIC, and they really don't care if Americans go hungry. As this regime wages war on food assistance, I'm proud to see Hawaii fighting back against hunger & against this regime's sick need to starve Americans.

In all of Putin’s years trying to divide & decimate our NATO alliance, he’s never come as close as Trump in just a few months. Time for Republicans to stand up to Trump’s deranged, self-destructive rants—tariffs & invasion threats against friends, aiding our adversaries.

These funding bills send a message to Trump: America WILL continue to fund cancer research, we WILL keep investing in affordable housing, we will NOT abolish the Department of Education—and Congress, not Trump, will have the final say on spending taxpayer dollars.

ICE must be reined in, and unfortunately, neither a CR nor a shutdown would do anything to restrain it, because, thanks to Republicans, ICE is now sitting on a massive slush fund it can tap whether or not we pass a funding bill. My full statement on the DHS funding bill.

Spent a meaningful MLK Day with Angelenos at Big Sunday’s MLK Clothing Drive and Community Breakfast. In 1967, MLK asked: “Where do we go from here, chaos or community?” We choose community.

Trump's petty attempt to erase MLK Jr. Day and replace it with his own birthday is not just an act of narcissism, but another example of this admin's efforts to stoke division & erase the history of this country. Let us honor & remember Dr. King for his work today and every day.

This is deranged. Trump is threatening to deploy our military, blow up the NATO alliance, & spend billions all because he didn't win a prize. This man has control of our nuclear arsenal. At what point will Republicans join us to stop him from putting our nation in harm's way?

Today we honor MLK Jr. as a leader who challenged America to live up to its highest ideals. As hate surges and civil liberties are systematically eroded across the nation, we are falling short of his vision of justice.
