Senate Democrats and Republicans came together to pass a bipartisan bill that would fund critical parts of the Department of Homeland Security, only for Speaker Johnson to let it collect dust on his desk for over TWO WEEKS. 🧵

This Arab American Heritage Month, I’m proud to recognize the countless contributions that Arab Americans have made to our state, country, and economy that are key to our nation’s diverse fabric.

On top of being outright stupid, this is a reckless escalation that will put our troops in even greater danger as they fight in a war of choice that Trump still cannot justify.

No. The 2020 election was not rigged or stolen from Trump. These lies aren’t just a tantrum because his ego is bruised from losing—they undermine our free & fair elections and are a threat to our democracy. Oh, and didn't Fox News have to pay $787 million for spreading these lies?

Someone is dying in ICE custody every week. Republicans want to use the reconciliation process to give ICE a blank check. I say: Let’s negotiate basic reforms instead.

As peace talks with Iran fail, sending costs sky high, Trump partied at a UFC match—saying it does not matter to him if we reach a deal.

Always a joy to be in Chelsea at La Colaborativa! I was able to hear directly from community leaders and families about food access, economic development, and growing small businesses. Grateful to have such relentless and visionary partners in this fight. Honored to be a part of the work ahead.

Trump’s health care cuts are having real consequences in Arizona. When small businesses can't afford to cover their employees, workers lose coverage, and businesses lose good people.

Gas prices in Hawaii have hit record highs because of Trump’s unauthorized war in Iran. Record high prices and a record high need to end this war.

Thanks to health care cuts in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, nearly 450 hospitals across the country are cutting services and risk closing. That’s 6.6 million patients losing access and 275,000 workers left jobless. There's nothing beautiful about that.

“I have no fear of the Trump administration.” Pope Leo’s firm answer reminds us of the power of faith and decency over the smallness of autocratic leaders.

These next five years will be pivotal. We must push forward principles that allow people's lives to be driven by opportunity, not anxiety. This requires a reset in how our government works and how we work with the world to build economic security and opportunity.

The Presidio Trust is a national treasure. The Trust was written into a law — authored by Nancy Pelosi and passed by a Republican Congress — it has received the same bipartisan support ever since. President Trump’s continued partisan attacks on it must end.

The Boundary Waters don’t just belong to Minnesotans. They’re the birthright of every single American. Why would we let a foreign mining company ruin them just so they can mine OUR resources, ship them off to China and enrich their shareholders?

There are 70 million Catholics in this country, and countless more Americans of faith who believe in humility, compassion, and peace. By attacking Pope Leo, President Trump is mocking the faith of millions of Americans.

Some things just shouldn’t be mocked. Trump comparing himself to Christ and his open insulting of Pope Leo is deeply offensive to so many Christians across the globe.

The Wall That Heals brings the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to communities across the country. 58,281 names. As a Marine, I know what it means to serve alongside people who don't come home. Standing in front of those names, you feel it. I was honored to visit last weekend in Surprise.

Our federal budget is a statement of our values. What's in Donald Trump's budget? Cuts to cancer research and food for little babies. And $1.5 TRILLION to the Pentagon to be sucked up by defense contractors and Trump's forever wars.

Last year, I said I’d rip up Trump’s budget and make sure Congress wrote a new one—we did and I’ll make sure we do it again. The American people want their tax dollars going toward investments that help everyone and make life more affordable—basics like utilities & child care.

Last year, Pres. Trump raised your costs with his tariff taxes & massive health care cuts. This year, Pres. Trump is raising your costs with his illegal war. RIers have had enough. I’m fighting to stop this war, end the tariffs, & bring down your costs.

Mocking and trivializing faith is a failure to understand the values that matter to millions of Americans. Political attacks on the Pope only underscore the point. We’re a country built on religious freedom and mutual respect, and we should expect better from our leaders.

The threat to the Boundary Waters isn’t just about Minnesota — the legislative gymnastics being thrust upon us to allow copper-nickel mining in this watershed would mean no public lands are ever truly protected. We would be opening Pandora’s box… for what? The profits of a foreign mining company?

Senate Republicans cosigned Trump's unprecedented attacks on health care, driving up premiums and putting Americans' care in jeopardy. In November, we have a chance to flip the Senate blue and block Trump's attacks. Let's make it happen.

Prices are surging and it's thanks to two main things: 1. Trump starting a costly foreign war that no one asked for. 2. Trump's arbitrary & corrupt tariffs. He promised to lower inflation, to lower prices—he not only broke those promises, he's actively doing the OPPOSITE.

Hungary’s people just sent a resounding message to its leaders and democracies around the world in defeating wannabe dictator Victor Orbán. Authoritarian regimes breed corruption and lower the quality of life. And when people stand together, they can defeat the forces of dictatorship.
