US Forest Service staff are the backbone of our National Forests. Violence and threats against our federal employees are never appropriate in any form. I’m glad that these US Forest Service employees are safe.

We need to understand what role he played in helping his family’s company in the midst of the DOJ overturning 30 different gun safety regulations in the past year. I’m working to get those answers before Blanche faces a confirmation vote.

Todd Blanche told a reporter this spring he was “part of the gun industry”. Maybe that’s because his mother-in-law is the CEO of a gun company. 🧵

We can thank Trump for making the outbreak of a parasite causing explosive diarrhea MUCH WORSE—seriously! CDC used to track Cyclospora, but Trump gutted our public health infrastructure & made monitoring the parasite optional. Now, we're in the worst outbreak in U.S. history.

“Just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” Matthew 25:40 I don’t understand how you read that, hold hands with your fellow legislators in prayer, and then vote to cut a trillion dollars out of health care.

This bill WOULD block the November ban from going into effect. I do have a separate bill that would keep hemp on the market with strong consumer protections (more on that in the link below). A one size fits all approach clearly doesn’t work here, and I’m going to keep at it.

Sebastian Durán Guerrero was going to work to support his partner and 3-year-old. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was driving to work with his brother. ICE shot and killed both men. We need thorough investigations and accountability for these tragedies.

The AI data center “race to the bottom” worsens our real climate perils. In a decent world, the industry would agree on safety standards. The billionaires and putative billionaires behind these projects could easily afford to be responsible. They choose not to be.

While Americans worry about budgeting for groceries, gas, and healthcare, Donald Trump is focused on profiting off the presidency and obsessing over his 2020 election loss. No wonder the economic outlook is so bad. The American people know Trump isn't working for them.

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.

While we’re on the topic of declassifying intelligence assessments…. Trump’s IC still hasn’t released the unclassified version of the IC assessment of the 2024 election- something released within months of the 2020 and 2022 federal elections. Why won’t he? What’s the hold up?

Families across our state depend on this funding for child care, groceries and other basic necessities. To deny this kind of support was morally reprehensible, and I'll keep fighting so Colorado families get what they were promised.

After I led the Colorado delegation to demand its release, Colorado is finally getting the $300 million in social services funding the Trump Administration wrongfully withheld.

Donald Trump is using the same old playbook to discredit our elections in advance. He knows Republicans are in trouble this November and wants to lay the predicate to interfere, even before a single ballot is cast. He fears voters and facing their growing wrath over rising costs and corruption.

As data centers & heat waves strain our grid & Americans risk power blackouts, Trump is stalling clean energy across the country, including a MD offshore wind project that could power over 700k homes. Trump's attacks on clean energy are hurting Americans & their pocketbooks.

It is unacceptable that an ICE contractor shot a protester in Aurora last night. This incident demands a full accounting. It is also another reminder that ICE needs an overhaul and a change in leadership from the top down. We cannot allow this violence to become the new normal.

I miss my friend, especially now. Whenever you would call John on the phone and reached his voicemail, he would end with, “Don’t take your eye off the prize.” America: don’t for a second take your eyes off what Republicans are doing to undermine our elections. The time to use your voice is now.

Virginia, much of our Commonwealth is experiencing hazy skies and poor air quality today… and it could last all the way through the weekend. Those with heart disease, lung disease, asthma, and other complicating health issues should stay indoors. Everyone should limit strenuous activity.

OVAL OFFICE CASH GRAB: While Trump’s policies make life more expensive for Americans, he continues profitting off the presidency: Now he’s selling Wall Street faster access to his market-moving public statements on his dubious social media platform.

Homecare services aren't luxuries. They're earned benefits that allow disabled and elderly veterans to remain in their homes and live with dignity. My Protecting Home-Based Care for Rural Veterans Act would reverse Trump’s harmful cuts and ensure veterans get the care they need.

Todd Blanche’s continued disrespect of those who Jeffrey Epstein preyed upon is appalling. He belongs nowhere near the Department of Justice, let alone running it.
