Let’s not forget J6ers who Trump pardoned were re-arrested for committing murder, sexual assault and soliciting minors.

It’s not too late to extend the ACA tax credits that Americans rely on to make health care more affordable. I’m pursuing every bipartisan possibility to reduce health care costs for the millions of Americans who use these tax credits.

INSANE. This is why I’m taking action. Congress MUST act so I’m introducing my War Powers Resolution to stop this Dumbroe Doctrine. https://www.reuters.com/world/trump-advisers-discussing-options-acquiring-greenland-us-military-is-always-an-2026-01-06/

Noem’s nearly 50% FEMA staff cuts would be catastrophic—crippling aid to Americans struggling through natural catastrophes. She should face Americans who face hurricanes, earthquakes, floods & more.

Today, I am reflecting on the bravery of the officers who heroically defended our Capitol on January 6, 2021, from violent insurrectionists sent by Trump. We must never forget the five officers, all Virginians, who lost their lives due to the attack. youtube.com/shorts/0PLaJ...

The Gulf of America doesn’t exist. Neither does the Department of War or the Trump-Kennedy Center. Trump is mocking American institutions, and rest assured, these changes will survive no longer than his administration.

Don’t let it go unnoticed in the chaos of this week: RFK Jr’s changes to the vaccine schedule – with no science to back it up – is another dangerous attack on the health of our kids. Vaccines save lives. We shouldn’t be making it harder for parents to access care.

As our January 6th Committee report showed, many heroic Americans stood up to Donald Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election. But the Big Lie did not stop after January 6, and we need to be ready as Trump and his loyalists work again to undermine our free and fair elections.

After getting sworn in, Trump pardoned violent Jan 6 rioters. He didn't care if they beat cops or how dangerous they were. Now so many of them are back in jail for OTHER crimes like child pornography & kidnapping. Trump endorses violence as long as it's in service to Trump.

Donald Trump has declared war on Colorado. He is now robbing thousands of vulnerable Colorado families of the critical support they need to afford food, housing, and health care. I will pursue all available options to ensure that Trump's latest political attack against our state is stopped.

On the 5 year anniversary of the shameful January 6 attacks on the Capitol, I helped introduce a pair of bills that ensure violent rioters cannot receive taxpayer funds.

Apparently the Dept. of Homeland Security has plenty of money to buy a new jet for Sec. Kristi Noem, but no money to rescue Americans from hurricanes?

While Trump spends his time plotting his plans for Venezuela, Americans are struggling at home. Social Security is a mess. Trump's tariffs are increasing costs on everything. And congressional Republicans let health care costs skyrocket. Trump is putting America last.

RFK, Jr. and Donald Trump think they know better than scientists and doctors – and it's putting children's lives on the line. This is reckless and will mean more children are going to get preventable diseases and sick.

Now, Trump threatens Greenland, Colombia, and Mexico. Where is the line? When will Republicans find a spine to say this is ridiculous and dangerous?

The Trump administration's briefing gave us no clear answer to what comes next in Venezuela. Americans are sick and tired of the endless wars.

After major disasters like flooding in recent years in Minnesota, Americans should not have to worry about their taxes increasing because they no longer qualify for some tax credits. My bipartisan bill ensures taxpayers don’t get penalized for income drops caused by disasters.

More masked ICE agents terrorizing our streets and arresting U.S. citizens will not make the Twin Cities safer (not that that was ever their goal)

RFK Jr. is getting what he wants — public health decisions based on his conspiracy theories, not science. This decision will put the health of our children and communities at risk.

Five years ago today, Trump sent violent insurrectionists to attack the U.S. Capitol. Law & order won that day thanks to law enforcement, and many rioters were convicted. Shamefully, Trump made it a priority last year to pardon these criminals, including those who assaulted police officers.

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.

Ask yourself who benefits from all this hate and division? While we’re busy arguing with our neighbors, those in power are busy moving wealth from the bottom to the top.

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

As we mark 5 years since rioters stormed the Capitol on January 6th, those of us who were trapped in the House Gallery delivered hot meals to thank the brave, dedicated men and women who protect and support us. Proud to serve those who serve us every day.

The insurrection forever changed the course of American history. Right-wing extremism has further become a threat since January 6th. That day serves as a reminder: Democracy isn't just a suggestion. Protecting it is fundamental to preserving the integrity of the nation.

Minnesotans didn’t ask for Kristi Noem to have a camera crew follow her around while masked ICE agents harass our neighbors like it’s some sick and twisted reality show.

It’s been 5 years since the President incited a violent riot at the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. January 6, 2021, is a stain on American history. Today, I'll be keeping the more than 100 Capitol Police officers who were injured in my thoughts.

Outrageous. No one should find AI-created sexual images of themselves online—especially children. X must change this. If they don’t, my bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN Act will soon require them to. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

Trump's illegal military strike WAS NEVER about stopping drugs or democracy for Venezuela. It's about OIL and how Trump can use Venezuela's oil to get himself and his donors rich. He is quite literally telling us that. And that's not worth risking American lives for.

If Trump really was interested in combating drug trafficking, he never would have pardoned convicted drug trafficker and former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez.

Greedy corporations are exploiting service workers with unpredictable schedules and little to no benefits. Workers deserve better. My Schedules That Work Act and Part-Time Worker Bill of Rights would give workers the protections they deserve.

How’d Susie Wiles get access to the Epstein files? And under what authority? The Trump Administration has lost trust with the American people on this case. Full transparency is the only way out.

On January 6, 2021, thousands invaded the Capitol with the intent of disrupting and overthrowing our government—and Trump urged them to do it. We can never forget this day. We have an obligation to remind people of the truth and the fragility of this democracy.

Trump “in charge”? Venezuela has the same repressive regime, only the names have changed. Trump running Venezuela means no strategy, no legal support, no national security purpose, & now, no moral partners.

Five years ago, we faced one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. If we cannot learn from January 6th, we are setting ourselves up to repeat it. Today, I urge my colleagues to join me in committing to protecting our democracy and most cherished freedoms before we lose them for good.

Today, @padilla.senate.gov and I are introducing bills to make clear that no one who stormed the Capitol should get a taxpayer-funded cash giveaway — especially not those who violently assaulted police officers.

Mr. President: put up or shut up. If you have credible evidence of fraud, present it publicly. I will join you in addressing it. If you have no credible evidence of fraud, stop penalizing innocent, needy children. Picking on kids is not presidential.

We will never forget what happened on January 6: Insurrectionists attacked our Capitol with the goal of overturning a free and fair election. Thanks to our heroic Capitol Police, democracy prevailed. We must keep fighting for our democracy — as we have for nearly 250 years.
