I’m honored to count Senator Mark Kelly as my colleague and friend. He risked his life in service to our country and is now being attacked by the current administration. It is wrong and it is hateful.

The commonsense energy circuit riders pilot is an effective way to help communities take on clean energy and energy efficiency projects that lower costs. I'm proud that we were able to bring the successful model run by Concord’s Clean Energy NH to the national level.

If you’re looking for waste, fraud, and abuse, take a look at the massive tax cuts this administration gave to their billionaire friends.

Union employees at SBA were reinstated with back pay after facing back-and-forth firings, chaos, and cruelty last year. I’m proud to have worked with AFGE and my Senate colleagues to bring stability to our civil servants and SBA. This illegal mistreatment must never happen again.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

While millions of Americans lose health care and prices are surging here at home, Trump doesn't care and has no solutions. Instead, he is threatening to bomb half the Western Hemisphere, occupy Venezuela, and annex Greenland. Is this America First?
- TD
It is wildly inappropriate for the Trump Admin to go after its political critics like this—let alone heroes like Sen. Kelly. Kelly is a patriot who has always put our American democracy first and always supported our servicemembers and the rule of law. Something neither Trump or Hegseth can say.

Every 2 seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood. Donating blood is essential & each donation helps save lives. Visited the great team at @ribloodcenter.bsky.social today to mark #NationalBloodDonorMonth & thank them for their tremendous work.

What does Trump’s adventurism in Venezuela do to help Americans facing an affordability crisis and spiked health care costs?

Mark Kelly is an American hero who bravely served his country for decades. The US military exists to protect Americans' free speech—not suppress it. Hegseth and Trump clearly don't understand this, and the use of military resources and funding for a sham censure is a disgrace.

Trump's baseless attacks on America and New York’s offshore wind projects are killing good-paying union jobs and driving up electricity costs. He must reverse this order and allow these projects to deliver low-cost energy to American families.

Residue of the Trumpsters’ plan to screw up Social Security’s operations so badly that Musk-rats and tech bros could take it over. Looks like we beat that back, like we beat back the surreptitious Republican half-trillion dollar cut to Medicare. Gotta watch them like hawks.

Trump’s America first agenda: protect pedophiles, bankroll oil barons, build ballrooms. Meanwhile you’re getting sicker and poorer.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth's baseless targeting of Senator Mark Kelly, a patriot who proudly serves our country, is disgraceful, craven, and wrong.

In the face of an unprecedented and coordinated attack on Minnesota by President Trump and his administration, the Governor is once again doing the right thing. I’m grateful for Governor Walz’s service and I will always support him.
- TS
Governor Walz’s decision to not seek re-election is what it looks like when leaders put the interests of the people before politics. Tim’s career has been defined by getting results for Minnesotans, doing the right thing, and always putting people first.

Trump risked American lives to kidnap Maduro just to have him replaced by one of Maduro's authoritarian cronies. This has nothing to do with drugs or ousting an authoritarian leader. It's a clown car of incompetence in an effort to enrich oil companies.

Following my bipartisan push, major lab testing companies are taking steps to help reduce children’s exposure to toxic lead. Clearly stating on blood test results that there is no safe lead exposure for children will help ensure that parents can take action against lead exposure.

Did Donald Trump notify Congress before taking military action in Venezuela? No. Did Donald Trump notify his Big Oil Buddies? Yes. It was always about oil.

I will always fight for our civil servants. The men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving our country - regardless of who is in the White House. Republican shutdowns hurt Marylanders. Congresswoman Elfreth and I will keep working to protect our federal workers.

How is Trump planning on “running” another country when he hasn’t done anything about rising grocery or rent prices?

We’ve got millions of American families wondering why their dollars are going to attacks in Venezuela instead of healthcare at home. You deserve answers, not premature victory celebrations. END

This is a moment for the focus to be on American families, not American oil executives who donated to Trump’s campaign.
- AK
This is a moment for careful coordination with our allies and partners, and work with the opposition in Venezuela - not glib assertions about running the country and using oil revenues to pay for it.
- AK
What’s worse, it does not appear that this administration went into this operation with any plan for what comes next.

DOES THIS ATTEMPT AT REGIME CHANGE END ANY BETTER THAN OTHERS? The United States unfortunately has recent experience in trying regime change - and it has led to quagmires that sucked enormous time, resources, and American blood.

Meanwhile Trump has been completely silent on Edmundo González (who almost assuredly beat Maduro in 2024) and has undercut faith in opposition leader María Corina Machado. It seems that Trump is fine with the Maduro government in power, only if they bend to his will in giving America access to oil.

The argument that this is about stopping drugs is made weaker by the fact that the Trump administration is fine with VP Delcy Rodríguez and the rest of Maduro’s leadership staying in power. Trump previously called Maduro’s regime “narcoterrorists.”
- AK
Trump’s own press conference, which focused more on oil than drugs, and what we’ve seen from Rubio, shows this is less about combatting illegal drugs (most of which do not come from Venezuela) and more about power. Power and profit.

Just last month, he pardoned the former president of Honduras Hernández, who was charged with “one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world.”
- AK
IS THE GOAL FIGHTING ILLEGAL DRUGS? - Maduro is in court today, and you’ll hear a lot about narco-terror accusations. But Trump’s actions beyond the indictment don’t match his rhetoric.
- AK
Are these fossil fuel companies looking at Venezuela - the country with the largest oil reserves in the world - as an opportunity to get a return on that investment? Are others in the finance industry looking to take advantage for their own profit, no matter the consequences?

Trump said last night that he was in touch with oil execs before and after the military operation even though he refused to consult Congress.
- AK
IS THE GOAL PROFIT? - Trump was clear, “we're gonna be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground.” Who is going to profit? We’ve seen the oil and gas industry pump millions into Trump’s campaign and the Trump White House.
- AK
WHAT’S THE GOAL? - The American people deserve to know why Trump put American servicemembers at risk and has the U.S. running Venezuela. Maduro will be in court today. His indictment is about drugs, but Trump keeps talking about one thing: oil.
- AK
While Trump effectively declared ‘mission accomplished’, regime change is more complicated than that. Maduro was a brutal/illegitimate leader, but his regime is still in power and there are many questions about what comes next. Congress is back today; here’s what we should be asking. THREAD

President Trump’s raised prices with his tariff taxes, shut down the government, allowed healthcare costs to skyrocket — meanwhile he’s sending your tax $ abroad to bail out Argentina & wants to “run” Venezuela to help his buddies in the oil industry. So much for America first.

President Trump says the United States is going to “run” Venezuela, but can’t answer basic questions about what that means. Americans want lower prices, not endless plays to take over foreign countries.

Critical minerals are needed for the production of everything from cars to wind turbines, chips to defense systems.

We cannot allow China to have a veto on our manufacturing and national security by continuing to dominate critical mineral production. My bill ensures the US can kickstart production of critical minerals sourced here at home. www.eenews.net/articles/bip...

There’s no plan. They don’t know what they’re doing. Figuring out what comes next in Venezuela requires serious effort — one that we should be working on with recognized opposition leaders, allies and partners to deliver security and stability, not one driven by profits for Trump’s friends.

The Trump administration has targeted Social Security at every turn — closing field offices, driving up wait times, and threatening the safety net that millions of Americans rely on. We can't let this administration damage the agency that allows our seniors to age with dignity.

Venezuela has legitimately elected leadership in Gonzalez and Machado and they should run the country, not Trump.

This week, every Senator will have the opportunity to vote for or against the use of military force against Venezuela. I am voting AGAINST any war with Venezuela. Congress must rein in this corrupt and dangerous President IMMEDIATELY.

Anyone who tells you we should scrap certain types of energy because it’s “woke” doesn’t actually give a crap about your costs.

Fact: Trump says he will “run” a country of more than 28 million people. That’s larger than the population of the upper Midwest—Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, & Michigan combined. Question: How about focusing on health care premiums in the U.S. instead?
- CH
Let’s be clear: the Trump Admin is lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs from coming to the US — it’s about grabbing Venezuela’s oil for his billionaire buddies. Trump has put American troops in harm’s way to boost oil company profits. Outrageous.
