There's no question that many international institutions are no longer working as intended, or long past time for updating. However, withdrawing from them en masse eliminates our ability to reform them, and cedes ground to competitors... 1/2

A woman was shot dead on camera and Trump’s ICE is launching a full scale coverup. Nobody is above the law. Federal agents who break the law in Minnesota, Oregon or anywhere else, must be prosecuted.

Fifteen years after Tucson, we pause to remember those we lost and think about the lives forever changed. Spending time with Gabby Giffords is a reminder of what resiliences looks like. She continues to turn a painful chapter into meaningful work that makes a real difference.

Americans don’t want their government spending millions of dollars to ‘run Venezuela.’ They want affordable groceries and health care and good-paying jobs. It’s time Washington listened. (3/3)

But this U.S. sponsored regime change has opened the door to one more ‘forever war’ – a chapter we swore was behind us. (2/3)

Congress, not the President, decides when this country goes to war. Nicolás Maduro is a corrupt, tyrannical leader who has trampled the democratic will of the Venezuelan people. (1/3)

The fact that ICE officers prevented a doctor from rendering aid after fatally shooting an innocent woman is sick beyond measure. As we press for accountability, it is important that all of us spread the facts of this brutal and unjustified killing far and wide.

Senate Democrats want to lower your costs and tackle the affordability crisis. Senate Republicans want to aid and abet Donald Trump’s adventurism in Venezuela and risk yet another endless war. The contrast is clear – and the American people are with us.

Steny has been a tireless fighter for our nation and our state. Listening to his remarks on the floor of the House this morning was a reminder of how much we will miss his voice in Congress after he retires. [2/2]

@hoyer.house.gov has been an outstanding national leader, a leader in the Democratic Party and a key member of Team Maryland. From his work to secure our national priorities, like passing the ACA, to his efforts to deliver for Maryland and his district, [1/2]

For these reasons, I joined colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass a bipartisan War Powers Resolution in the Senate and prohibit Donald Trump from carrying out additional strikes in Venezuela without the input of Congress.

They also jeopardize the safety of our brave servicemembers, a heavy decision that cannot be made without the input of the American people through their representatives in Congress.

...risks destabilizing the region, dragging us into additional military conflicts, and increasing the amount of immigrants seeking refuge at our border.

Nicolas Maduro was an illegitimate and brutal dictator, and I shed no tears for him finally facing accountability. But the Trump Admin's illegal operation and attempt at regime change merely props up Maduro’s handpicked authoritarian successor...

The Constitution is clear: only Congress has the power to declare war and authorize the use of military force in other nations. 🧵

I have long fought to address PFAS contamination in New Hampshire so I'm proud to introduce a bipartisan, bicameral bill that would improve care for patients who have been exposed to PFAS by ensuring health care providers have access to updated guidance. www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/l...

Instead of giving Congress a heads up that he ordered U.S. troops to attack Venezuela and seize its president, Donald Trump tipped off oil companies. That tells you everything you need to know about who Donald Trump works for.

Secretary Noem has dodged testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee for months. It’s caused frustration... and not just from Democrats. It’s time for Judiciary Republicans to work with us—and issue a bipartisan subpoena.

I applaud my five Republican colleagues for joining every Senate Democrat to advance this resolution. While Nicolás Maduro was a brutal dictator, Trump’s actions risk sparking a long-term conflict that jeopardizes American lives. The American people cannot be kept in the dark.

Today, I voted for a bipartisan war powers resolution that would block the use of the U.S. Armed Forces to engage in hostilities within or against Venezuela unless authorized by Congress. (1/2)

I just voted for the bipartisan bill to prevent President Trump from continuing his war in Venezuela without authorization from Congress. In an unexpected move 5 Republicans joined us to move this forward. We need to lower costs in America, not try to “run” another country.
- LR
The Constitution explicitly gives Congress the power to declare war for a reason, that's why I voted 'yes' on today's war powers resolution. It's time my colleagues started taking this president at his word and acting before he recklessly drags us into war.

The video of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis is incredibly disturbing. A full and impartial investigation is urgently needed. My thoughts are with Renee Good's family. Our government should not be deploying ICE in ways that make our neighborhoods and communities less safe.

Five Republicans joined with Senate Democrats today to take a step forward in checking President Trump's unlawful actions in Venezuela - but we need everyone to stand up and use your voice to demand the Senate assert our Constitutional authority over the use of military force.

Today we send a powerful message to the Trump administration: no more endless wars.

JUST NOW: The Senate advanced @kaine.senate.gov and my bipartisan war powers resolution, which would block the Trump administration’s use of the U.S. armed forces to engage in hostilities within or against Venezuela unless authorized by Congress.

Last year, Kristi Noem slowed down FEMA response times for Americans dealing with weather catastrophes. Now, reports say she wants to eliminate more than 1,000 of the FEMA employees who help respond and prepare for disasters. It’s unbelievably dangerous.

HUGE – a few Republicans finally found their spine and voted to take the first step towards reining in Trump’s chaos in Venezuela! America owes a debt of gratitude to @kaine.senate.gov, who has fought to rein in presidential overreach and force abroad for years. His moral clarity makes us stronger.

This administration has been very open about the fact that they now believe they own Venezuela.

Federal immigration agents’ use of force shocks the conscience. A federal judge said that in November. Now, their continued use of excessive force has led to another shooting and another death.

The Senate just passed a bipartisan vote signaling deep concern about Trump’s continued military actions regarding Venezuela. Americans don’t want us to “run” Venezuela and they deserve to have their voices heard.

I’m joining @markey.senate.gov's bill to block President Trump’s Executive Order, which denies states the ability to regulate artificial intelligence.

BREAKING: The Senate just PASSED a bill to prevent war with Venezuela. Don't let anyone tell you this is just symbolic. We will keep pushing until it passes the House, and then we push to pass it with a veto-proof majority. No war. No occupation.

Whether helping pass the Affordable Care Act or championing the Americans with Disabilities Act, @hoyer.house.gov has always fought to provide all Americans with the dignity they deserve. I am honored to call Steny a friend, and I wish him all the best in his retirement.

Now this Administration is shooting unarmed mothers in their cars? Their cruelty knows no bounds. We need a full investigation immediately, and based on what I saw in the video — somebody must be brought to justice.
- RB
Sickening brutality & fatalities will continue without independent scrutiny & Congressional action & reform. Internal investigation alone is blatantly inadequate.
- RB
My PSI investigation of ICE agent brutal assaults & detention of hundreds of U.S. citizens shows a pattern of abuse & excess that must be stopped. The Minneapolis tragedy was predictable & preventable.
- RB
The investigation of this heartbreaking ICE killing must be immediate & independent, not depending solely on federal agents. Credibility is critical. Beyond individual accountability, there must be thorough scrutiny of ICE practices & tactics.

To summarize the legacy of accomplishments that my friend Congressman Steny Hoyer has achieved would require an entire novel — his impact on the people of Maryland’s fifth district — and people across this nation — over his storied career is as profound as it is enduring.

Donald Trump brought some of the worst, most unprofessional, and most poorly trained federal law enforcement officers and agents into Illinois. Now he’s doing it in Minnesota. And another family is grieving.

I am sending my prayers and deepest condolences to the family and colleagues of Uxbridge Police Officer Stephen LaPorta, who was tragically killed while responding to a vehicle crash yesterday morning. Officer LaPorta’s sacrifice and his legacy of service in his community will not be forgotten.

Every single Senator and every single House member voted for our Arkansas Valley Conduit bill. But then Trump vetoed it. Trump is leaving real people out to dry for his own political grievances and making our rural communities pay the price.

Guess Trump didn't know about the housing affordability crisis when his party killed our bipartisan bill in December that would have helped lower Americans' housing costs.

The Trump Administration is planning to gut emergency workers and disaster preparation efforts. As we mark one year since some of California’s worst fires, this will make our communities less safe and more prone to repeat disasters.
