As Tressie wrote, DHS can’t shoot us all, but they can track us all. My Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act would stop DHS and other federal law enforcement from tracking your phone by buying location data from shady data brokers.

Really enjoyed chatting more with @tressiemcphd.bsky.social about how the federal government is weaponizing private data. Privacy has become a life-and-death issue, and I have a plan to rein the government in. Thread:

We need to take Donald Trump’s calls to “nationalize” elections extremely seriously. What is he planning next after this sham raid on an elections facility in Fulton County?
- TS
A first step, sure. But there’s usually only 150 in the entire state. This drawdown means there will still be around 2,300 (15x the normal amount) unaccountable federal agents roaming our streets.

Section 702 is a vital national security tool. But without reforms it gravely threatens civil liberties. We must strike the right balance—and that requires information on how the Administration is using 702. Trump officials must testify.

Americans are outraged by what ICE has done to our communities. Congressional Democrats are united in our plan to rein them in.

We can’t have someone enforcing the law who isn’t even following the law himself. The American people deserve to know if Tom Homan took $50k from an FBI undercover agent and what he did with the money.

Trump wants to subvert our free & fair elections. He could not be clearer about this if he tried. So let me say this: Trump's fantasy of nationalizing our elections will go NOWHERE in Congress. Democrats will fight to protect our elections and remain VIGILANT.

Hell no. This is nothing more than an attempt to intimidate voters and fulfill Trump’s promise to “take over” elections. We will fight back.

Today, we honor Rosa Parks on what would have been her 113th birthday. In refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus, Ms. Parks propelled the Civil Rights movement forward. May her bravery continue to inspire us all to keep pushing for a nation with justice for all.

Wait til Trump figures out that Leo’s little buddy Mark Paoletta is in the White House, right now, at OMB. Paoletta was even in the Leo/Crow/Thomas painting! This is rich.

Is Trump finally figuring out that the Koch operation (Leo/McGahn) really picked “his” Supreme Court justices; that Trump was their chump. Trump the chump! Hysterical.

ICYMI: With pregnant women and new moms across the country facing an escalating and deeply worrying mental health crisis, @baldwin.senate.gov and I introduced a bill to increase access to mental health and substance use disorder services so that women—and their families—can thrive.

Rosa Parks was born 113 years ago today. Her simple act of bravery sparked a movement for justice. Rosa Parks is a powerful reminder that change takes courage. Today, we honor her legacy.

We need tough, fair, independent reporting at home and abroad in order to keep our democracy. What a disappointing day.

One year after the catastrophic Eaton and Palisades fires, survivors are still facing significant challenges with their insurance claims. I am calling on the largest insurance companies to ensure survivors receive the compensation they're entitled to, and without further delay. No more hurdles.

NIH banned fetal tissue research to appease anti-abortion extremists—and at a committee hearing, the NIH Director couldn't provide scientific evidence to prove otherwise. I demanded to know how many projects will be halted by this anti-abortion policy decision.

Journalists hold power accountable, and this is NOT the time for sweeping layoffs. When newsrooms like the Washington Post shrink, our democracy suffers. It’s hard to hold power to account when you’ve laid off hundreds of staffers.

This week, I met with Michigan Sheriffs on their annual trip to Washington to hear directly from them about what we can do on the federal level to make sure they have the resources they need to keep our communities safe.

What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal. It’s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.

Happy to hear that 700 federal immigration agents are leaving Minnesota. But the questions we need to ask are, where will they show up next? And will the remaining 2,000 agents in MN finally change their tactics?

Emphasis on the BS. Pete Hegseth’s attacks on women in combat roles are a pathetic and misogynistic distraction that makes us less safe. Real leaders focus on readiness and retention, not culture-war stunts.

Since the Main Street fire in Madelia 10 years ago, the community has come together to rebuild. I’ve seen firsthand how local leaders, small businesses, and neighbors never gave up. This is what resilience looks like in Minnesota. www.startribune.com/a-decade-ago...

Big, profitable corporations often pay a lower tax rate than ordinary people like teachers and firefighters. Small businesses are paying more while massive corporations use loopholes to pay nothing. Let’s close those loopholes and make corporations pay their fair share.

As a former Prince George's County State’s Attorney, it was great to meet with State’s Attorneys from across Maryland alongside @vanhollen.senate.gov. We discussed supporting victims, the opioid crisis, online child safety, and addressing workforce challenges in prosecutors’ offices.

I’m incredibly disturbed that Trump is mentioned over 1,000 times in the latest Epstein files. The DOJ is grossly mishandling this by not releasing ALL the files. The American people deserve transparency, and the victims deserve justice.

After the Trump Administration slashed thousands of Forest Service employees–letting critical wildfire mitigation and recreation management efforts fall behind schedule–the last thing the agency should prioritize is a project that only benefits the very wealthy.

OpenAI's CFO suggested that the government could be a "backstop" if they can’t pay their bills. YOUR tax dollars as their "backstop." Meanwhile, OpenAI pays its employees an average of $1.5 MILLION dollars a year in stock compensation. Wow. That's just wrong.

A new report just revealed that 200,000 Georgians have already lost their health care because of GOP cuts. Republicans in DC kicked Georgians off their health care to give their donors a tax cut. I’m not ok with that.

We cannot trust the executive branch to create lasting solutions on ICE. We need real legislation passed through Congress.

ICE’s abuses go beyond the headlines. Residents are afraid to go to schools, to grocery stores, to even step outside. Agents are patrolling the streets like a military operation. A 20% reduction is not enough. All of ICE needs to leave Minneapolis now.
