President Trump claims ICE is targeting “the worst of the worst.” In reality, they’re targeting people with no criminal history, separating families, and killing people in the streets.

We all know big corporations have too much influence in Washington. I've never taken a dime of corporate PAC money because Arizonans need to know their elected leaders are working for them. We need to put people first and get corporate money out of politics.

RFK Jr. has been pushing anti-vax conspiracies for decades, so it's ABSURD to see his colleagues try to pretend that he's actually been pro-vaccines. And this measles outbreak isn't just on RFK Jr.—it's on everyone who enables his dangerous grift.

Only Donald Trump could (try to) divide the nation over a Super Bowl Half-time Show. The man often boasts that he’s better at practically everything than anybody, anywhere. Here’s where he is actually unrivaled: DIVISION! When it comes to that, he is the undisputed champion!

“America’s golden age” was a complete lie. The numbers tell the truth: Trump has been a disaster for American industry and is killing the blue-collar jobs he promised he’d bring back. Trump’s record: fewer jobs and higher prices. Change can’t some soon enough.

Donald Trump hasn't kept his promises, and he knows the American people are ready to hold him accountable. So now he's promising to cheat in the next election, if given the chance. We can't give him that chance.

Communities across America are anxious about the skyrocketing premiums they have seen since the expiration of the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits. I will continue fighting to expand health care access and lower costs. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/30/a...

Democrats aren’t asking for anything unreasonable on ICE reforms. We’re just asking that they be held to the same standards as local law enforcement. Donald Trump and Kristi Noem shouldn’t be able to command a secret, masked police force.

There is no clause in the Constitution or law on the books—none—that allows a President to commandeer state elections. No emergency power. No implied authority. No ‘because I say so.’ We will not let Trump take over our free and fair elections.

Americans want Trump to lead on the economy. Instead, he’s focused on other important issues…like a comedian making jokes at the Grammys, DC’s golf courses, and slapping his name on everything he can. Priorities! youtube.com/shorts/8UN3m...

Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine on Day 1. Well, it's day 385 and while Putin continues his bloody assault on Ukraine, Trump has only cozied up to Russia & gotten played by Putin. He's undermined Ukraine time and again and brought this war no closer to an end.

Trump & Noem's masked ICE agents aren't going after the worst of the worst—they're randomly targeting innocent people, detaining children, trampling Americans' basic rights, and killing U.S. citizens. This is not even remotely acceptable. ICE & CBP must be reined in.

Republicans decided that funding ICE and giving tax breaks to billionaires was more important than making health care affordable. So now, MILLIONS may be forced to go without care, leaving our communities at risk as the (already crushing) price of health care skyrockets.

President Trump promised his immigration enforcement would go after the “worst of the worst.” But his Administration’s own data shows that is a lie. ICE is going after innocent people, just to meet the President’s cruel enforcement quotas.

This Administration’s attacks on Minnesota continue, this time by threatening to allow copper-sulfide mining in the watershed of the Boundary Waters when a majority of Minnesotans have made it clear they don't want this mine. Not this mine. Not this place. Keep public lands in public hands.

Congress must make Russia pay a further price for its aggression and clarify the U.S.’s long-term commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and security – an effort I look forward to helping lead.

Amid Putin’s intransigence in negotiations and daily attacks across Ukraine, the Ukrainian people remind us every day what it looks like to fight and die for democracy, for their country, and for the West.

This weekend I met with Alex Pretti’s Minneapolis VA coworkers who were on duty the Saturday morning he was killed. They miss him very much…many stories of his filling in shifts to help other staff. Alex was an exceptional ICU nurse and deeply committed to serving our veterans.

1 in 30 NIH clinical trials were disrupted by the Trump administration last year. Those are real people, who had their hope for a lifesaving cure delayed for absolutely no reason. I asked NIH's Director what he has to say to those patients. WATCH ⬇️

President Trump should immediately restore the health care tax credits.

On January 1, Republicans allowed the Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire, doubling health care premiums for millions of Americans. More than a dozen Republicans joined Democrats to vote for these tax credits because they know their constituents are hurting.

I’m deeply troubled by this sentencing of Jimmy Lai and the continued incarceration of Pastor Jin Mingri and Dr. Gulshan Abbas – all of whom have already paid a heavy price on dubious charges. Their humanitarian release by China would be welcomed around the world.

Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for standing up for democracy and speaking truth to power. This is a deliberate attempt by Beijing to crush dissent and silence independent voices in Hong Kong. Speaking out is not a crime—it is the foundation of democracy.

Today is a dark day for press freedom in Hong Kong. The PRC is snuffing out what was once a beacon of light. I stand in solidarity with Jimmy. The Trump Admin must stop looking the other way & enforce my Hong Kong Autonomy Act. Silence in the face of repression is unacceptable.

While we've made great strides towards ending the substance use epidemic, too many veterans are still losing their lives due to overdoses. I’m proud to introduce a new, bipartisan bill to help veterans and their caregivers more easily access overdose reversal agents at no cost.

What are Democrats doing about ICE in Minneapolis? I’m a co-sponsor of the Protecting Sensitive Locations Act to stop ICE from arresting law-abiding people near hospitals, schools, churches & courthouses. Americans shouldn’t fear ICE while going to work, worshipping or raising their families.

Masked agents in the streets. Cracking down on peaceful protests. Entering homes without warrants. The next step is seizing control of elections. We have to stand up and say no.
