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.

Thanks to the MN Building & Construction Trades Council for the endorsement & for hosting me at the convention today. MN needs a governor who will cut through the red tape of state government, invest in apprenticeships & fight for workers’ wages & safety. I'm honored to have their endorsement.

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.

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.

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.

Trump’s “Golden Dome” project has the potential to be a $1+ trillion waste of taxpayer money. Ground-based missile defense is hard. Missile defense from space is even harder, and the physics do not favor the defense. We should be investing in systems that actually work.

Republicans refused even the most basic guardrails on ICE. Now the consequences are being measured in lives. The Trump admin rushed 12,000 agents onto our streets without ensuring they were fit to carry a badge and a gun—and Republicans gave this rogue agency vast power and no accountability.
