Here is the question before us right now: Are we still a democracy? Or are we a country where everyday people live under the thumb of government power?

The legendary Marty Baron says: “Bezos’s sickening efforts to curry favor with President Trump have left … a case study in near-instant, self-inflicted brand destruction.”

Far too many Minnesota families have been torn apart by gun violence -- including the two little kids we lost in the Annunciation school shooting last year. I will continue to take on gun violence and work to keep Minnesotans safe, and I'm honored to have this endorsement.

My EV is fun to drive, reliable and inexpensive to run; good to know they measurably help my neighbors’ clean air too.

Farmers work harder than just about anyone I know – and all they want is a fair chance. Instead, they got President Trump’s trade war, and now, too many are on the brink of collapse. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/u...

Trump promised lower prices. What we are getting: Higher grocery prices, higher health care premiums, higher energy prices, and now higher housing prices too.

Savings don't count if families never see them. I'm working on drug pricing reform that delivers real savings—fast.

The DNI has no role overseeing domestic law enforcement or in managing U.S. elections — absolutely none. Unfortunately, Tulsi Gabbard has made election denial and sycophancy towards the president her only core conviction. Gabbard could do the country a great favor and resign.

Strong transportation and energy infrastructure is essential to the future of Illinois. Today, I met with leaders from Winnebago County to discuss how Congress can best support development in Northern Illinois.

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.

Republicans in Congress have given up on trying to save Affordable Care Act Tax Credits, and Delawareans like Diane from Middletown will (literally) pay the price for their failure.

This won't fix everything, but it's a start. It’s not only ICE and CBP, but an endless list of federal agencies that are currently able to weaponize your private data. It's past time for Congress to get serious about ending our privacy dystopia. I'll be at it until we do.

Big Tech makes its money from surveillance ads that give your information away to shady data brokers. The government then buys up that data to track you. I have a bill to ban surveillance advertising and put a stop to your location data from being sold to anyone with a credit card.

The federal government is exploiting every loophole in the Privacy Act. I have a bill that would close those loopholes and hold government officials accountable when they misuse and abuse private data.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
