The Doomsday Clock now stands at 85 seconds to midnight—the closest it has ever been. When the New START treaty expires next week, there will be nothing stopping a new nuclear arms race. Trump and Putin could agree today to stick with New START limits. We can turn back the clock.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the millions of people who were persecuted, attacked, and systemically murdered. This day asks us to reflect on the warnings of history and recommit ourselves to fight against anti-semitism and bigotry in all of its forms so it never happens again.

NEWS: Recent estimates indicate more than half a million Illinoisans will lose their health insurance because of Congressional Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.

Speaking out matters. Trump is not inevitable. Republicans in Congress are FINALLY calling for hearings and accountability. They even sent that vile, grandstanding camera hound, Bovino, packing from Minnesota. There's a long way to go, but your voice DOES matter.

Now would be a good time to pass Senator Alex Padilla's VISIBLE Act. It requires agents to have clear identification and bans non-medical face masks.

On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memories of the six million Jewish people and millions of others who were murdered in the Holocaust. Today we reaffirm our commitment to the adage of "Never Again" by promising to combat antisemitism and hate in every form.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the memories of six million Jews and millions of other victims, including LGBT and disabled people, who were murdered by the Nazi regime. We must come together to stand against all forms of hate and antisemitism at home and abroad.

We have the power to stop ICE from terrorizing communities and putting lives at risk. It’s time for the Senate to step up.

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody. She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care. We need to reform immigration detention.

Detaining and deporting Victor is cruel. It punishes a man with disabilities and shows a blatant disregard for basic human decency. I call on immigration authorities to immediately release Victor and grant him asylum.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn the six million Jews and millions of others targeted, abducted and murdered by the Nazi regime. Together, let us honor their memory by rooting out hate and antisemitism wherever we may see it. Never again.

Finally, after more than 800 days, the last hostage has come home. My heart goes out to the family of Ran Gvili, who died trying to stop Hamas' brutal attack. May his memory be a blessing.

“Ordering the head of a agency to appear is an extraordinary step,” wrote Chief Judge Schiltz, a former clerk for Justice Scalia. “But the extent of ICE’s violation of court orders is likewise extraordinary, and lesser measures have been tried and failed.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

It’s only been a year of Trump, and already under his regime, two Americans have been killed by federal agents in broad daylight, millions of Americans can no longer afford health care, and the cost of energy, groceries, and housing is straining families. America deserves better.

If Senate Republicans refuse to strip out the DHS bill to put real constraints on ICE — and hold hostage the vast majority of government funding — then Republicans are complicit in the chaos and own the potential government shutdown. It’s time to stop ICE’s violence.

Trump's ICE just killed 2 Americans in 2 weeks. Americans are demanding action. How did Senate Republicans respond? By threatening a partial govt shutdown if we don't give ICE another blank check. They'd rather hold govt hostage than ensure accountability for these killings.

Minnesota has been the center of America’s heartbreak—but we are also the center of America’s courage and hope. Ordinary people have done extraordinary things: they have stood up, marched, brought food to their neighbors, and they have not blinked. I am so proud of our state.

Renee Macklin Good should be alive today. Alex Pretti should be alive today. Under Secretary Noem, ICE agents are armed, masked, and given license to do whatever they want. I will vote against any government funding package that includes more funding for ICE.

The Senate should pass all 5 bills to fund cancer research, child care, and more THIS WEEK. Senate Democrats are ready to do just that. Meanwhile, we need to keep negotiating DHS funding to bring sanity and due process to our immigration enforcement. No Republican shutdown.

I'm voting no on DHS funding. Masked agents are operating in our streets and hurting people with zero accountability. It’s un-American. If you’re upset and want to help, call your senators and representatives and tell them this chaos needs to stop.

This is the President's playbook. The truth doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. Anyone who disagrees with him becomes an enemy, and he then weaponizes the federal government against them.

In the name of decency & democracy, Republicans should join in demanding ICE reform & restraint. Their silence or implicit support for ICE’s vicious wrongs makes them complicit in criminality. Americans & history will judge them harshly & justly—soon.

Here it is. For the third time. I'm calling on DHS and DOJ's IGs to heed the public outcry and finally launch a joint task force to investigate the horrific pattern of brutality from Trump's agents, including the public execution of Alex Pretti. We demand accountability. Now.

Secretary Noem has been a disaster at DHS. Under her “leadership,” ICE is killing people, separating families, and terrorizing our communities. Secretary Noem should resign. But no matter who’s in charge, ICE’s abuses are deeper. There needs to be immediate, fundamental changes.

🚨ICYMI: Trump is expanding his deadly Global Gag Rule—threatening any humanitarian aid organization that gets federal dollars from even TALKING about abortion or diversity. Trump is doing everything he can to block foreign assistance & rip away health care.
