Since sharing my dad's Alzheimer's diagnosis publicly, I've been blown away by the support and your own stories about being a caregiver for a loved one. Thank you for responding to my own with empathy, kindness, and words of encouragement. We'll continue to get through this together.

Since Speaker Johnson refuses to display the Jan 6 plaque, the Senate unanimously agreed to display it on our side of the Capitol. Speaker Johnson, go dig the plaque out of whatever hole you’ve been hiding it in.

There's no question that many international institutions are no longer working as intended, or long past time for updating. However, withdrawing from them en masse eliminates our ability to reform them, and cedes ground to competitors... 1/2

The Senate just passed a bipartisan vote signaling deep concern about Trump’s continued military actions regarding Venezuela. Americans don’t want us to “run” Venezuela and they deserve to have their voices heard.

Guess Trump didn't know about the housing affordability crisis when his party killed our bipartisan bill in December that would have helped lower Americans' housing costs.

Congressional Republicans are preventing the oversight of ICE actions across the country. We must stop the recklessness that put lives at-risk.

You deserve to know what the plan, or lack thereof, is in Venezuela. It’s time for the Trump administration to stop hiding behind classified briefings and answer your questions directly.

ICE cannot be allowed to operate with such recklessness. And shame on Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem and others for pouring gas on the fire by calling this domestic terrorism and seeking to incite escalation. 3/3

People across the country have been living in fear that a situation like this could happen. We’ve seen Blackhawk helicopters used above our citizens and aggressive actions used all over our nation. 2/3

I just saw the video footage of an ICE officer shooting an American citizen. I’m still processing it as it was incredibly disturbing. There must be an immediate investigation. 1/3

Haphazardly firing FEMA employees who are dedicated to disaster recovery and emergency preparedness shows where Trump’s and Noem’s priorities lie – and it's not with you. Disaster will strike and we will be less prepared as a result of this administration.

It's absolutely ridiculous that Trump would say their action in Venezuela was a law enforcement action. All their excuses are just a guise for their extortion foreign policy.

What will we tell future generations about January 6th? I hope to be able to tell my boys that we can heal this country.

January 6th reminds us that we are all temporary stewards of this country. It's up to us to ensure it flourishes long after we're gone.

January 6th taught us how fragile our system of government can be. We must learn the lesson and stay vigilant in fighting against all forms of attack on our democracy.

Freezing funds meant to help hundreds of thousands of families just because they are represented by democrats… this is what mob bosses, not presidents, do.

The American people don't want another war. I'm with you – I'm tired of this and I'm tired of Trump's mob boss politics.

5 years after the January 6th insurrection, we reflect on what was at stake then and what’s at stake now. Thank you to the brave Capitol police officers who saved lives that day. We must continue to be caretakers to our nation and our democracy.

Tomorrow, we should reflect on the attack at our Capitol, especially those of us who work in its chambers. It’s about respect. For our Constitution, our country, and the people who kept us safe.

Extortion foreign policy is the name of the game for Trump and he doesn't care what it costs you.

Trump’s doing mob boss politics again — this time on a global scale. He doesn’t have a plan for what comes next, just another half-baked scheme to help his friends get richer.

Today, I joined Celltrion for the opening of their facility in Branchburg, NJ. This is what the Einstein Corridor is all about: global innovation in medicine and technology that starts right here in our state. It’s an exciting time to be a New Jerseyan!

We’ve got millions of American families wondering why their dollars are going to attacks in Venezuela instead of healthcare at home. You deserve answers, not premature victory celebrations. END
- AK
This is a moment for the focus to be on American families, not American oil executives who donated to Trump’s campaign.
- AK
This is a moment for careful coordination with our allies and partners, and work with the opposition in Venezuela - not glib assertions about running the country and using oil revenues to pay for it.
- AK
What’s worse, it does not appear that this administration went into this operation with any plan for what comes next.
- AK
DOES THIS ATTEMPT AT REGIME CHANGE END ANY BETTER THAN OTHERS? The United States unfortunately has recent experience in trying regime change - and it has led to quagmires that sucked enormous time, resources, and American blood.
- AK
Meanwhile Trump has been completely silent on Edmundo González (who almost assuredly beat Maduro in 2024) and has undercut faith in opposition leader María Corina Machado. It seems that Trump is fine with the Maduro government in power, only if they bend to his will in giving America access to oil.

The argument that this is about stopping drugs is made weaker by the fact that the Trump administration is fine with VP Delcy Rodríguez and the rest of Maduro’s leadership staying in power. Trump previously called Maduro’s regime “narcoterrorists.”
- AK
Trump’s own press conference, which focused more on oil than drugs, and what we’ve seen from Rubio, shows this is less about combatting illegal drugs (most of which do not come from Venezuela) and more about power. Power and profit.

Just last month, he pardoned the former president of Honduras Hernández, who was charged with “one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world.”
- AK
IS THE GOAL FIGHTING ILLEGAL DRUGS? - Maduro is in court today, and you’ll hear a lot about narco-terror accusations. But Trump’s actions beyond the indictment don’t match his rhetoric.
- AK
Are these fossil fuel companies looking at Venezuela - the country with the largest oil reserves in the world - as an opportunity to get a return on that investment? Are others in the finance industry looking to take advantage for their own profit, no matter the consequences?

Trump said last night that he was in touch with oil execs before and after the military operation even though he refused to consult Congress.
- AK
IS THE GOAL PROFIT? - Trump was clear, “we're gonna be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground.” Who is going to profit? We’ve seen the oil and gas industry pump millions into Trump’s campaign and the Trump White House.
- AK
WHAT’S THE GOAL? - The American people deserve to know why Trump put American servicemembers at risk and has the U.S. running Venezuela. Maduro will be in court today. His indictment is about drugs, but Trump keeps talking about one thing: oil.
- AK
While Trump effectively declared ‘mission accomplished’, regime change is more complicated than that. Maduro was a brutal/illegitimate leader, but his regime is still in power and there are many questions about what comes next. Congress is back today; here’s what we should be asking. THREAD

- AK
There’s no plan. They don’t know what they’re doing. Figuring out what comes next in Venezuela requires serious effort — one that we should be working on with recognized opposition leaders, allies and partners to deliver security and stability, not one driven by profits for Trump’s friends.

It’s the same playbook time and time again: Trump and his buddies benefit at the expense of the American people. Corrupt mob boss politics.

The American people deserve a government focused on running our own country, not the folly of trying to run another.
- AK
Americans across the political spectrum must reject Trump’s plan for the U.S. to “run the country” of Venezuela. This is a disastrous plan. We have seen this show before and it did not end well.

This will further damage our reputation – already hurt by Trump’s policies around the world – and only isolate us in a time when we need our friends and allies more than ever.
- AK
This strike doesn't represent strength. It's not sound foreign policy. It puts Americans at risk in Venezuela and the region, and it sends a horrible and disturbing signal to other powerful leaders across the globe that targeting a head of state is an acceptable policy for the U.S. government.
- AK
Trump rejected our Constitutionally required approval process for armed conflict because the Administration knows the American people overwhelmingly reject risks pulling our nation into another war.
- AK
Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.
