No matter what Donald Trump says tonight, the American people already know that he's failed to lower costs, failed working families, and failed to uphold the Constitution. I’ll be there, because I won’t let him or anyone else intimidate me or keep me from doing my job.

Let's be clear: Our ROTOR Act in the Senate could have prevented the horrific DCA crash that took 67 lives. Today, the House must pass it too. The families of Flight 5342 deserve nothing less. thehill.com/opinion/cong...

By refusing to release the full Epstein Files, President Trump is certainly acting like someone guilty of something. So he might as well just do it.

President Trump is trying to rewrite the Constitution by royal fiat. Children born in the United States are citizens. Period.

If you’re watching tonight’s State of the Union, don’t expect answers on: ❌Skyrocketing health costs ❌Layoffs and shuttered small businesses ❌The 38,000 mentions of Trump in the Epstein files ❌The murder of Americans at the hands of ICE ❌Solutions for people like you

This is EXACTLY why I pushed the Trump Admin to reverse course on its attempt to no longer classify swastikas and nooses as prohibited hate symbols. Antisemitism is very real and we need to do everything we can to fight it everywhere. I am glad the Commandant is taking this seriously.

Four years ago, Putin launched a deadly, unprovoked, and unjustified war against Ukraine, and the continued horror inflicted on the Ukrainian people is barbaric. I will keep working to ensure Ukraine has the support needed to defend itself and win back peace and security.

Well: reporting confirms it – the Justice Department withheld Epstein files that contained allegations about Trump abusing a minor. What are these people trying to hide?

President Trump promised to lower prices. Instead, we’ve seen housing prices soar, rising health care costs and increased prices due to tariffs—squeezing families when they can least afford it. As we prepare for tonight’s State of the Union, remember: Actions speak louder than words.

Democrats dropped a bill TODAY to stop private equity's housing takeover. Let's get this done.

Today marks 4 years since Putin’s brutal war in Ukraine began. Just last week, I saw firsthand in Odessa the courage of Ukrainians—civilians, soldiers, leaders—fighting for their freedom amid unspeakable cruelty. The US must keep pressure on Russia and demand accountability for Putin’s aggression.

You deserve a refund of the money Trump’s tariffs illegally cost you. That's why I helped introduce legislation that would require Trump to send his illegal tariff revenue back to the American people. This is your money.

Glad to see the British authorities pursuing justice and rooting out the foul stench of depravity wherever it lives, whether it’s in the royal family or an ambassador’s residence. Our own government needs to start doing the same.

From betting space missions will explode to predicting a Ukrainian town would be captured by the Russians — betting on death is dangerous and flat out wrong. I'm calling on the CFTC Chair to commit to follow the law and explicitly prohibit gambling on people's lives.

Great news: DHS is cancelling plans for their facility in Merrimack. I commend all Granite Staters for making your voices heard. This is exactly why I introduced legislation yesterday to ensure that DHS can't open new facilities without local consent and transparency.

I am glad to see detained Uyghur doctor Gulshan Abbas’s daughter will attend the State of the Union. I have long called for Dr. Abbas’s release and President Trump’s upcoming visit to China is a chance to resolve her detention along with the cases of Jimmy Lai and Pastor Jin Mingri.

The American people are simply asking for the truth, and Congress passed a bipartisan law to release the full Epstein Files. It’s impossible to understand the Trump Administration ignoring the law and redacting so heavily unless they’re hiding something. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

DHS just admitted that they can’t get the facts straight...again. They aren’t going after the “worst of the worst” it’s all smoke and mirrors to justify their inhumane deportation agenda.

Four years ago, Russia launched its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, starting a war that has brought death and destruction to millions. Through it all, the Ukrainian people have remained strong. I’ll continue standing with them in their quest for freedom against tyranny.

Global Entry uses automated kiosks to save staff capacity & expedite processing. Is Kristi Noem forcing employees to unplug kiosks & MANUALLY process passengers? Truly as dumb as it gets. Instead of punishing travelers, Trump should focus on negotiating urgent ICE reforms.

President Trump says he wants to stop Wall Street and private equity from buying up homes. Democrats are introducing The American Homeownership Act to get it done - while boosting housing supply and lowering costs. The President and Republicans should join us.

Honored to celebrate the grand opening of the High Ridge Center, a historic space bringing all Divine 9 organizations together under one roof. This is more than a building, it’s a hub for service, fellowship, and community, and a model for the nation on what collaboration looks like.

Tereza Lee is one of the hundreds of thousands of Dreamers who make our nation better and was my inspiration for writing the Dream Act in 2001. She will also be my guest for the 2026 SOTU to show President Trump that we will never give up on Dreamers, no matter how much he tries to abandon them.

How much did our grifter FBI Director spend on travel, security, and accommodations to party in Italy on the taxpayer dime? Waste, fraud, and abuse—the call was always coming from inside the house.

Meet my State of the Union guest, Jeremy Schumacher. Without ACA tax credits, his health insurance costs jumped 288%. An $11,000 increase. Trump sold out the American people to give billionaires another tax break.

Trump is continuing his crusade against public education, this time by putting conspiracy theorist RFK Jr. in charge of school safety. That’s like putting Pam Bondi in charge of releasing the Epstein files. Oh wait.

Tomorrow, Trump is going to ramble & lie to the country. I'm not dignifying that, so I'm NOT attending SOTU. But I'll be addressing WA state myself—TOMORROW at 3:15 pm PST. Health care is way too expensive. ICE is out of control. We can chart a better way forward. Tune in.

Trump is desperate to cling to power, and the Republican SAVE Act is one of the ways he wants to do it. HELL NO, we won’t let Trump seize control of our elections.
