Commander Dick Scobee — Air Force pilot, aerospace engineer, leader. Waited years for his chance to command a shuttle. He left behind a family who never stopped honoring his memory.

40 years ago today, we lost seven heroes aboard Challenger. As an astronaut who commanded the space shuttle after this tragedy, I think about them often. Their courage pushed the boundaries of exploration. Today, we remember their sacrifice and the legacy they left behind.

I support cleaning house at DHS. Greg Bovino should be fired. Kristi Noem should be fired. Stephen Miller should be fired. But none of those things alone will fix ICE – a new figure will take their place, and nothing will change unless Congress exerts some muscle here.

This President is a shameful disgrace. But I'm glad Rep. Omar is okay. While Trump incites this kind of behavior, it's important that the rest of us state clearly—over and over again—that political violence is NEVER acceptable. In a democracy, we use our voice & our votes.

Once again, the Justice Department is bending to the will of Donald Trump and not to justice. They’re afraid of the facts—which is why they refuse to investigate. Open a civil rights investigation. Accountability now.

Today marks the anniversary of the Challenger explosion, a tragedy that shook New Hampshire and our country. We continue to honor the spirit and the legacy of Granite Stater Christa McAuliffe 40 years on, and her passion for teaching and learning lives on in our state.

Companies linked to Trump, Jr. have been awarded multiple lucrative DOD contracts and loans. This raises serious concerns about conflicts of interests and keeping our communities safe. I'm working with @warren.senate.gov and @blumenthal.senate.gov to get the answers you deserve.

I’m honored to receive the National Head Start Association's Robert E. Cooke Lifetime Achievement Award. Head Start turns an investment into a child’s first five years into a lifetime of rewards, and partners like NHSA are vital in providing each child with the greatest gift of education.

Trump is denying veterans the autonomy to make choices about their own health. Congress must immediately overturn this ban and restore full access to the reproductive care that every woman deserves. Veterans who sacrificed for our country shouldn’t be punished for their service.

President Trump's VA has imposed a near-total abortion ban – denying care to rape and incest survivors, even in states where abortion is legal.

I’m taking the Senate floor to share the story of what’s happening in Minnesota at the hands of ICE and CBP – but more importantly, I’ll be imploring my colleagues (regardless of party) to use our power to rein in ICE’s lawlessness. Tune in at 3:10pm CT/4:10pm ET

I’m deeply disturbed by the assault on Rep. Ilhan Omar last night as she met with constituents. I’m in awe of her determination in the face of adversity, and grateful the incident was not worse. There is no place for political violence or intimidation in America.
- EW
Republicans' Big Ugly Bill gave Trump $190 billion for DHS, including $75 billion for ICE and $65 billion for CBP. That's money Republicans stripped from rural hospitals and helping people afford health care. Congress should claw it back and put serious restraints on DHS.

I still remember where I was 40 years ago when we tragically lost Christa McAuliffe and the entire crew of the Space Shuttle Challenger. A Granite State educator, Christa was committed to learning and exploration.

Here’s the unspoken truth. ICE has become accountable to one person only: Donald Trump. He is building a paramilitary force with no guardrails and it’s already trampling our rights as Americans.
- AK
Officer Panning is absolutely right: ICE’s presence is making our communities less safe and making local law enforcement’s jobs more difficult.

Last year, President Trump and Congressional Republicans enacted policies that will take health care away from hundreds of thousands of Illinoisans. Their health care cuts will threaten jobs and lives, and they must be immediately reversed.

This funding means real wins for Gallup: saving the city from an additional $70 million in costs for the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project and providing $115,000 to help the Gallup Police Department solve crimes — delivering clean water and keeping families safe.

He has no criminal history. He hasn’t threatened anyone. His arrest, detention, and now deportation is beyond cruel. This administration is failing the ideals of our nation daily. Victor should be returned to live in safety, with his family. 2/2

When gangs beat and left him for dead in Ecuador, Victor Acurio Suárez sought asylum here in Delaware. He did everything the application asked of him. This is what the asylum system was designed for— to protect those who face persecution and violence in their home country. 1/2

The median age for a first-time homebuyer is now 40 years old. That should concern us all. The American Dream is becoming unattainable. Housing costs keep rising, wages are flat, and Donald Trump has no plan to fix it. When homeownership takes a lifetime, the system is failing.

The horrific killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents require a stiff response from Congress. I’m a NO on the House-passed government funding package that includes the Department of Homeland Security without significant changes.

I'm relieved @repilhan.bsky.social is okay after she was attacked at her town hall last night. But Trump’s response was shameful — & Republicans should say so. His baseless & racist attacks against her have no doubt endangered her. His inability to condemn the attack is appalling.

DHS doesn’t exist to be Trump’s political shock troops, or on call to threaten states and cities into compliance with this administration’s unconstitutional demands.

There’s a deep rot to the core of this administration and Stephen Miller is one of the most dangerous people in the country right now. Noem’s got to go, but so does he.

The President directed the Department of Justice to make a secret list of “domestic terrorist organizations.” It seems clear from his own order that Trump plans to see how far he can stretch the law before someone tells him no.

The attack on Rep. Omar tonight was a despicable act of political violence and intimidation. I am glad Rep. Omar is OK, and I thank USCP and local police for their quick action to apprehend the suspect.

Just spoke with Congresswoman Omar and I am glad she is safe. Threats, physical attacks and intimidation have no place in our democracy.

I’m relieved Ilhan is okay and the guy who did this is in police custody. Notice how Ilhan stood up and basically said “No, I'm not done yet. I'm not going to let this guy scare me away from doing this town hall.” That's what service and patriotism looks like.

Moments like this are extremely scary and I’m glad @repilhan.bsky.social is okay. We need to be able to come together—peacefully—and discuss what’s going on in our communities. That’s the power of a town hall. Political violence, and any effort to fuel it, is never acceptable.

Republicans’ refusal to extend the ACA tax credits pushed thousands in WA state off of their health care plans. The same Republicans who said keeping health care costs from skyrocketing was too expensive didn’t bat an eye when they made tax breaks for billionaires permanent.

Of course Kristi Noem should be fired. Of course she should be impeached. Of course she should resign in disgrace. But also, she should have never had the job in the first place.

Alex was an ICU nurse whose last moments were spent helping a woman who was harmed by immigration agents. We cannot let this administration continue to lie to the American people. I won’t stop fighting for truth and justice for the Pretti family.

For an administration so “focused” on rooting out fraud, Trump and his goons are awfully quiet about the massive fraud in Mississippi–or does it not count if it happens in a "red state"?

ICE is operating with zero transparency or accountability. It’s unacceptable. Congress should immediately pass our bills to unmask ICE, protect sensitive locations like schools or churches, and cut the excessive slush fund that MAGA Republicans gave ICE.

I’m voting no on DHS funding. The horrifying killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti show that Department of Homeland Security is out of control, and Congress needs to put up more guardrails that restore transparency and oversight.
