We know they can't be trusted. In Chicago, they shot a woman multiple times and charged her with assault with a deadly weapon, accusing her of being a domestic terrorist too—only to drop the charges when evidence including body camera footage contradicted their story.

One day after ICE killed a mom in Minneapolis, Trump's agents shot two more people in Portland. How does Trump and his team respond? Not remorse. Not empathy. Just declaring the cases closed before the facts come to light, then covering them up by blocking local investigators.

Instead of lowering costs like he promised, the second year of the Trump presidency is kicking off with a weaker job market and higher prices.

The DOE should focus on lowering costs and working with communities on their energy transition, not accelerating Trump’s vengeful attacks on our state.

The Trump Administration's decision to force an outdated coal plant in Craig to stay open puts even higher costs on Coloradans already struggling with rising energy prices. www.cpr.org/2025/12/31/t...

It was an incredible honor to meet Rabbi Ulman of Bondi and Ahmed al-Ahmed, the hero who saved countless lives during the antisemitic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach. Ahmed is a role model for us all. We must continue to fight antisemitism, hatred and bigotry wherever it rears its ugly head.

Another day, another billionaire oil magnate and Trump mega-donor who stands to profit big-time from the Venezuela operation. The corruption is bad enough, but when you remember they put American troops in harm's way to do it, it's sickening. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Five Republicans voted against Trump as U.S. Senate voted 52-47 to advance a resolution curbing Pres. Trump’s Venezuela war powers. More work remains, but this is a step in the right direction.

Trump’s economy is leaving workers behind. As families grapple with the surging cost of health care and the cost of everyday life keeps going up, it’s harder than ever to find a job.

ICE has done nothing to keep our communities safer. ICE agents are terrorizing folks in Oregon and across the country. I’m demanding full accountability—an investigation that involves Oregon officials—and ICE to immediately end these dangerous operations in Oregon.

There seems to be some confusion over at the White House about the difference between supporting the Venezuelan people’s fight for democracy & invading Venezuela to grab their oil for Trump’s billionaire buddies. Here’s a hint: one of them is an act of war. Hope this helps 👍!

We are in an emergency. We need to act like it. Both parties have failed on housing, and that’s why I am introducing the National Housing Emergency Act of 2026.

I'm monitoring first awful reports of two people shot in Portland by federal law enforcement. I'll keep you updated, but Trump's deployment of federal agents in my hometown is clearly inflaming violence — and must end.

Today's vote to advance our resolution to block further military action in Venezuela was significant. We'll now have a full debate on the Senate floor over the President's use of U.S. military forces, and a mission that seems to be far more about oil revenues than drugs.

To my Republican colleagues, the Vice President is spitting in your face and openly flouting your constitutional authority. Time to decide if you came here to be a Member of Congress or a cheerleader for whatever Trump wants.

*17* House Republicans just joined Democrats to revive and extend ACA tax breaks, because they know families can't afford the massive price hikes they face today. It's time for Leader Thune to bring this bill to the floor and give Republican Senators the same chance to do what's right.

Everything just keeps getting more expensive, and groceries are no exception. That’s why earlier today I tried to pass my bill to exempt your groceries from Trump’s cost-raising tariffs – but Senate Republicans blocked it because they’d rather make YOU pay more than stand up to Donald Trump.
