ICE is out of control and the clock is close to midnight for Republicans to work with us to overhaul ICE.

This is about doing what the President wants. This is not about real law—it's about weaponizing the justice system against people you disagree with. youtube.com/shorts/InwgC...

Last week I asked sports betting companies about Americans getting scammed by credit card companies when placing bets - adding $10 fees just to fund a $20 bet. Glad to see Fanduel take action to protect consumers, joining DraftKings. The rest of the industry should follow suit.

A billionaire bridge owner meets with the Commerce Secretary — hours later Trump is threatening Canada and trying to block a critical bridge that would cut into that billionaire’s profits. The corruption of the Trump administration is staggering. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/w...

To know the future, you need to know the past. If this senate was here 170 years ago, or 90 years ago, would we have seen what was coming?

Science has proven that the climate crisis is real, and our nation put in place critical rules that ensured that pollutants did not clog our air further. More than a decade later, it’s a dark day as President Trump shreds the principle that EPA relies on to eliminate climate pollution.

With the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, Americans are seeing their premiums skyrocket—some by thousands of dollars. Health care costs are eating into the incomes of everyday Americans. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

My father taught me two things. He taught me right from wrong, and he taught me to love this country. Weaponizing the legal system against people for basic freedom of speech goes against everything this country stands for.

Glenn Medical Center, the only hospital in Glenn County, closed last year due to bureaucratic red tape — forcing families to travel miles to get care. Now, a new bipartisan law that I wrote with the late-Rep. LaMalfa is fixing Glenn's federal status and creating a pathway to reopening its doors.

Epstein survivors deserve justice. Epstein’s associates who were complicit in his horrendous crimes must be held accountable. There’s no two ways about it.

It would be bad enough if Trump was damaging our economy and threatening our Canadian neighbors because of his fragile ego. But it’s worse: he’s doing it to boost the profits of a billionaire buddy of his administration.

My Affordable Housing & Homeownership Protection Act and Preserving Homes & Communities Act would build more homes, lower costs, & take on giant investors unfairly blocking families from homeownership.

In 2024, Trump promised to create “millions and millions of blue-collar jobs and jobs of every type.” Here’s the reality he delivered in 2025:

Trump’s DOJ tried to charge me with a crime simply for saying something they didn’t like. Think about that. This is after DOD already censured and threatened to demote me. He wants to make an example out of me and scare Americans from speaking out against him. Don’t let it work.

The Trump admistration is trying to imprison their political opponents… for informing servicemembers of their rights. Americans stood up and said no. But we have to ask – how much further will this administration go to silence free speech?

Thank you to the Bloomington Police Department and Chief Hodges for their work keeping us safe. The fact that the individual arrested was responsible for conducting background checks on new ICE hires should concern every Minnesotan.

Honored to stand with the brothers and sisters of UAW this morning. Working people are too often crushed by the machinery of power unless we stand together. That's why the labor movement is so important. And that's why you will always have an ally in me.

Alex Pretti. Renee Good. Keith Porter. Silverio Villegas González. One life taken by Trump's violent, masked secret police is too many. Republicans need to come to the table and help us rein them in.

For the second time, President Trump and his Justice Department have failed in their blatant political prosecutions. @crow.house.gov — and the rest of our congressional colleagues — deserve better. I continue to stand in this fight with them.

Yesterday, the Illinois Northern District Court upheld a law that removes debit and credit card swipe fees from the tip and tax portion of your bills. I helped limit debit card swipe fees nationwide in 2010, and I am pleased to see states like Illinois follow my lead to protect consumers.

From the Congressional Budget Office: Foreign countries pay 5% of Trump's tariffs — Americans, YOU, pay the other 95%. These TAXES on working families are driving up prices and making life unaffordable.

Finally—this news is way overdue. The National Guard should’ve never been sent to Chicago or any other city. And it’s time for the Trump Administration to end its mass deportation campaign of terror.

I’m thankful for the proud Americans on this jury for upholding the rule of law and refusing to indict my fellow Senators Kelly and Slotkin. But I’m still immensely concerned. As we have seen in other cases meant to punish Trump’s enemies, his Justice Department will try again.

We now know that in President Trump's first year, job growth stalled, adding the fewest jobs since 2020—a recession year. Americans are anxious about the job market and high costs. It's time President Trump focuses on such concerns, not brush them off as a "hoax." www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...

Our military’s strength comes from the courage, talent, and diversity of the Americans who serve. Dismissing that isn’t leadership—it’s disrespectful to every service member who defends our country.

Federal workers keep our government running, and we must recruit and retain people with the best experience and expertise. That's why I'm introducing a bill with @markwarner.bsky.social and @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social to ensure fair and competitive pay for the federal workforce.

Trump tried to weaponize our justice system to go after my colleagues' most fundamental right — free speech — all because he didn’t like what they said. The President is trying to silence Americans who speak up and speak out. I won't be intimidated, and neither should you.

When the administration comes after members of the House and Senate, our response should be: screw you, we’re not backing down. In the face of a weaponized government trying to intimidate public servants for simply stating the law, we must fight back. And give no quarter.

Trump wants to silence people he disagrees with, but we are a nation of laws. Intimidation is a classic authoritarian tactic.

Trump tried to imprison Senators for stating the law, saying things he didn't like. This is a disgusting and corrupt abuse of power—as un-American as it gets. But guess what? Trump doesn't call all of the shots. And the PEOPLE rejected this sham indictment. Keep speaking out.

Trump and Republicans took billions of dollars from health care and food assistance for working Americans and gave it to an out-of-control ICE. We need commonsense reforms to ICE now that will make it accountable to the American people—not Donald Trump.

Any progress in negotiations would be welcome, but I need to see reforms actually attached to any ICE funding in order to give my vote.

Let me be absolutely clear to my Republican colleagues: I will NOT support additional funding for ICE – including in any resolution to extend current funding for any length – until guardrails are in place to rein in ICE's out-of-control actions.
