The law is clear: Members of Congress are allowed in ICE detention centers to conduct oversight without prior notice. A court ruling affirmed that 3 weeks ago.

I stand in solidarity with the community of Jackson in asking for a swift and thorough investigation. Jewish communities in Mississippi, and across the world, deserve the right to worship safely. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

Unfortunately, it is also no stranger to terror, having been bombed by the KKK in 1967. The symbolism in yet another attack on this building in 2026 is a painful reminder that antisemitism is not a relic of the past, but a clear and present danger.

This weekend there was a brazen act of hatred and antisemitism against Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi. This historic synagogue, the largest and only Jewish house of worship in Jackson, is not merely a building. It is the heart of a community.

While Americans are struggling to afford health care and groceries, Trump is more concerned about sending $100,000 each to the citizens of Greenland. I guess it's Denmark First now.

Visiting the memorial for Renee Nicole Good this morning and seeing the outpouring of love and support was a powerful reminder of the kindness and compassion she brought to the world. Our state is hurting, but we are standing together.

Great news: my bipartisan bill, which increases monthly pensions for living Medal of Honor recipients, is now law. While we can never repay the debt that we owe to these extraordinary heroes, we can ensure that they receive the support they deserve. www.wcax.com/2026/01/06/m...

Trump's brazen act of war in Venezuela isn't America First. It's Big Oil barons first. It's billionaires first. It's Trump first.

A lot of people are going to see their costs double for health care. I break it down, and why I am still fighting.

Weeks after cutting your health care, the President is now proposing a $500 billion increase in spending for war. We don’t suffer from a poverty of resources in this country. We suffer from a lack of moral imagination.

Governor Codey was a dedicated, selfless public servant that committed his life to the people of New Jersey. He lived with compassion and strength, striving every day to improve the lives of New Jerseyans. My heart is with his family today, may we all carry forward his memory.

Voting by mail is safe, trackable, and encourages high turnout. Washington helped pioneer vote-by-mail, and our voters have used it to participate in our democracy for years. I hope this ruling will stop those who would undermine our elections or make it harder to vote. komonews.com/news/politic...

I toured RWJ Barnabas Health Center in Newark today to discuss the importance of healthcare that meets people where they are. Providing support in social services, food insecurity, and safe housing should all be elements of our care system. There’s no health without them.

When Trump says he "isn't worried about boots on the ground" in Venezuela, that's because he isn't talking about his family. American citizens must have a say about any act of war. It is OUR soldiers and OUR money at stake.

If anyone blockaded the U.S., launched a military operation to make an arrest on U.S. soil, let alone seized our natural resources, and killed civilians in the process, we'd consider it an act of war.

Here’s the unspoken truth: While we’re busy fighting each other, this administration is working overtime to funnel wealth from the bottom to the top. That’s the whole game.

My HOME Act would crack down on corporate price gouging in the housing market and help lower costs. I’ll keep fighting to pass this bill and give Nevadans some breathing room.

Buying a home is out of reach for far too many Nevada families, and part of the problem is bad actor corporate investors who buy up homes and drive up prices.

Today, @menendez.house.gov and I met with members of NJ’s Venezuelan community and asked them what they think about this administration’s actions. We owe them answers about Trump’s true motives and plans for their home country.

Pete Hegseth is the least qualified Defense Secretary we've ever had and his open contempt for women in the military is a slap in the face to those who have put their lives on the line to keep us safe.

Leaving the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension out of the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's tragic death is wrong. They worked seamlessly with the FBI on Hortman & Annunciation cases—shutting them out now undermines trust and objectivity.

Nor can it blame the West for its own failures. These massive protests are born of the desire of the Iranian people to live in liberty and peace.

I stand with the people of Iran speaking out and risking their lives to demand a better life for themselves and their children. The repressive and dictatorial Iranian regime must end its crackdown on demonstrators. 🧵

DHS owes the American people full transparency on what happened in both Portland and Minneapolis, and the federal government must work with local and state governments to deliver an accurate and trustworthy investigation.

I don’t believe the lie Trump is telling about his motives in Venezuela. It’s about enriching his wealthy friends and feeding his own ego.

Oil companies shouldn't know more about Donald Trump's plans in Venezuela than the American people. I launched an investigation with @whitehouse.senate.gov, because every single American deserves answers.

My family knows what it means to get knocked down and stand back up. From combat missions to Gabby’s long recovery after being shot, we’ve learned that resilience is not about pretending things are easy — it's about doing the right thing even when they're not.

We need to talk about this. Sec Kennedy took action this week to make it harder for children to get vaccinated for the flu. I think that’s completely insane and unacceptable.

There are more ICE agents in Minnesota than Minneapolis and St. Paul police combined. They are here against the wishes of local law enforcement, including Police Chief Brian O'Hara. ICE is not making our communities more safe, and they need to get off our streets.

The tax cut Trump and Republicans gave billionaires is almost ten times what it would cost to fund the ACA tax credits for ten years.
