Let’s be honest — this has nothing to do with national security. Donald Trump just wants to flex and say he took Greenland. That kind of reckless, ego-driven nonsense distracts from real threats we should actually be dealing with.

No US oil company should risk investing in Venezuela. Companies that take part in Trump's lawless takeover of Venezuela's resources should keep in mind that any American tax dollars they take to invest in a foreign country will be recovered by the next administration.

More than 2,000 people were infected with measles last year. More than 28,000 Americans were infected with whooping cough. Nearly 300 children died from the flu. Every time Secretary Kennedy restricts access to vaccines or lies about them, he makes America sicker.

Trump’s madcap escapades in Venezuela and at Greenland won’t change the increases coming at Americans in health care costs and electric bill costs and grocery costs — for which Republicans are directly responsible.
- AK
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland. Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

hm, what about "a little something" called the 22nd amendment?

Nothing says “democracy is coming back” like Donald Trump, Rick Scott and Pete Hegseth hand picking regimes across Latin America. This is deranged and must be wholly rejected.

CT is right to stand up to the administration’s blatant power grab. States should be free to run their own elections & there is no evidence that voter fraud is a widespread issue. I am hopeful the courts will judge this lawsuit for what it is—meritless.
- RB
Trump & his lackeys can try to bully CT all they want, but the facts are clear: this type of national voter roll poses a real risk to people’s privacy & would be completely unprecedented.

Now the White House is trying to rewrite history by releasing a webpage that describes the day as “Patriots March to the Capitol” and blames the Capitol Police. Democracy prevailed on January 6. We must protect it.

I spoke on the Senate floor about how five years ago at 3:30 in the morning after January 6, Senator Blunt, V.P. Pence and I made the walk with the pages and the electoral ballots to the House over broken glass and by pillars spray painted with racist vulgarities to the House.

Yesterday was a stark reminder that our Capitol and our very democracy was under attack on January 6, 2021, and remains under siege from an authoritarian strongman president. I’m fighting like hell to protect our We the People government.

It's absolutely ridiculous that Trump would say their action in Venezuela was a law enforcement action. All their excuses are just a guise for their extortion foreign policy.

While Trump kept the American people in the dark on his plans for Venezuela, Big Oil got a heads up “before and after” the attack. The public deserves to know if they’re footing the bill while oil companies reap profits. Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips must answer.

Trump's actions in Venezuela and his Administration's national security strategy are making our nation — and the world — less safe. They're setting a dangerous precedent, and you can bet Putin and Xi are taking note.

Trump's White House released a maliciously false account blaming Capitol Police for the violence on January 6th. While Trump pardons insurrectionists and lets those who attack our officers walk free, we stand with our first responders. We'll make sure their sacrifices that day are not forgotten.

President Trump has a fifth of the US Navy stationed off the coast of Venezuela. That doesn’t sound like someone planning on keeping his promise of no new foreign wars.

Trump has no plan to make health care affordable for the American people. He’s forcing families to spend more on health care, groceries, and electricity—all while Big Oil CEOs get richer with an illegal war with Venezuela.

Don’t let the Donald Trump gaslight you—January 6th was a violent insurrection and a horrific day for the United States. We cannot let him rewrite history and dishonor the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line to protect our democracy that day.

The American people didn’t ask for higher health care costs or to barrel into another costly war. We’re 6 days into January, and that’s exactly what the American people are getting from Donald Trump.

Five years ago today, democracy prevailed in the face of violence. Brave Americans put their safety on the line so that Congress could respect the will of the American people and uphold the rule of law.

Five years ago, I sheltered in the Capitol, praying the lock on my door would hold. Alarms blared. Rioters screamed, "Kill the infidels." I held my breath, not just because I was in danger, but because our democracy was. Democracy held, and I do still believe we can keep it.

Auschwitz survivor and stepsister of Anne Frank, Eva Schloss, was a symbol of strength and resilience and an incredible educator on a history the world must never forget. May her memory be a blessing.

5 years ago, Donald Trump tried to subvert our democracy. He has since pardoned those who beat police officers bloody on that dark day. Now he wants to rewrite history. We cannot let him. Trump doesn’t give a damn about democracy here at home, in Venezuela, or around the world.

Over the last 5 years, a lot has been said about the events of January 6th, 2021. It's been distorted, romanticized, even downplayed. Tonight, I went to the floor to tell my story and remind us all that redemption is what makes America, America.

He can’t even grow the spine to put up a *commemorative plaque* honoring the police officers who protect him every single day. Add it to the laundry list of examples that prove he’s just Trump’s lap dog.

Today marks the 5th anniversary of the January 6 insurrection, one of the darkest days for our democracy and our country. I spoke on the Senate floor about that anniversary, this year’s 250th anniversary of our country, and what is at stake if we let our democracy die.

There is no reason to think the same President—now bolder than ever in challenging our Constitution—won’t try, once again, to get his way through threats and violence. I won't let Trump rewrite history, and we ALL must use our voices & votes to protect our democracy.

Trump built his economic agenda on an illegal power grab. Now, the Supreme Court has an opportunity to send people their money back, starting with the small businesses that paid over $47 billion in Trump tariffs this year.

We owe the Capitol Police a debt of gratitude for what they sacrificed for democracy back in January 6, 2021, and for their loss of life. And we certainly owe it to them, on this anniversary, to tell the true story of what happened for the history books.

Despite everything they face, the Capitol Police continue to protect lawmakers and our Capitol, including providing me with 24/7 security for the past month after a raft of new threats over the past few weeks.

As I stood in their operations center, it was surreal and sobering: on the big screens behind them were TV stations replaying footage of the attack five years ago, side by side with a live coverage of a protest today on the National Mall, led by Proud Boys who had been found guilty of...
