Donald Trump said he is going to talk for a very long time tonight. God help us. Not sure what he thinks there is to celebrate, because America is a mess thanks to him.

On top of wasting your taxpayer money on whatever this is, he is hiding the truth of the Epstein files and protecting the powerful instead of seeking justice for the victims. What an embarrassment of an FBI Director.

Trump doesn't care about the burdens he's imposing on Americans with his tariffs—but Democrats do. We will NOT extend the Trump tariffs once they expire in a few months. We'll do everything we can to stop them. We won't stand for higher prices and more inflation.

I’m proud to bring Dani Bensky, New Yorker and survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, as my guest to the State of the Union to demand the truth. Dani has turned unimaginable pain into unrelenting advocacy. Survivors deserve justice. Trump must end the cover-up and release the full Epstein files—NOW.

Raiza's son, Dylan Lopez Contreras, was the first NYC public school student detained by ICE. He entered legally, followed the law, and was still detained after attending a mandatory court hearing. We won’t stop fighting to bring Dylan home and end ICE’s lawlessness.

NEWS: Raiza Contreras, a Bronx mother whose family has been ripped apart by ICE, will be my guest at the State of the Union.

Trump’s chaotic tariff policies have already been rebuked by Democrats, Republicans, and even the Supreme Court. They are a tax on Americans, driving prices higher for families. @democrats.senate.gov will block any attempt to extend Trump’s tariffs when they expire this summer.

Americans are losing their health care to pay for Kristi Noem’s luxury plane. Democrats are going to make Senate Republicans defend this indefensible spending.

Trump's tariffs are illegal. The money must be returned.

Trump illegally taxed American families and small businesses, and he’s not giving them their money back. Even his Treasury Secretary admits it. x.com/factpostnews...

A victory for the wallets of every American consumer. Trump’s illegal tariff tax just collapsed—He tried to govern by decree and stuck families with the bill. Enough chaos. End the trade war.

Now Trump wants to spend $2 BILLION to recreate what already exists, with worse results. This is exactly what I warned about and it is exactly why I launched an investigation into the Trump administration’s domestic and global health cuts.

This is Aliya Rahman, a disabled US citizen who was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when she was violently assaulted, arrested, and detained by ICE agents. This is why we’re not giving DHS a cent until ICE is reined in – including use of force standards to which they can be held accountable.

Happy Lunar New Year! I was glad to join Senator John Liu’s celebration as we kick off festivities across the country. May the Year of the Fire Horse bring bold energy, resilience, and forward momentum to all who celebrate.

This goes beyond Epstein. I met with survivors & advocates in Rochester and Buffalo to push Virginia’s Law to eliminate the statute of limitations that has shielded criminals like Epstein. Because justice should NEVER expire.

As we honor Rev. Jackson in the coming days, I will be thinking of the many lessons he taught us: “Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping them up.” We should all seek to embody that spirit and serve others the way Rev. Jackson did. Keep hope—alive!

Jesse Jackson was an icon of the civil rights movement and a fearless warrior for justice for all. He was one of the most powerful forces for positive change in our country and our world. America is a more equal, just place thanks to his work. My prayers are with his family & those inspired by him.

This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own. And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

This is not America. This is why Democrats voted NO on more funding for ICE. And we will continue to do so until ICE is reined in and the violence ends.

Trump tried to throw two US senators of the opposite party in jail simply because he didn’t like what they said. This is an attack on free speech. This is an attack on democracy. This is an attack on the rule of law. And the American people won’t stand for it.
- CS
When a President tries to jail Senators for speaking their minds just because he disagrees with them, that is not a Democrat or Republican problem—it’s a constitutional crisis of the highest order. We must all come together and take action to stop this erosion of our democracy.

I’m thankful our Constitution prevailed and protected Sens. Slotkin’s and Kelly’s right to free speech. But the fact that Trump weaponized the DOJ to even attempt this grotesque indictment is beyond alarming. Today it was six Democratic members of Congress, tomorrow it could be anyone.
- CS
Donald Trump has declared war on free speech.

A grand jury made up of ordinary Americans REJECTED Trump’s abuse of power targeting Sens. Slotkin and Kelly. I’m so proud of their courage, their poise, their loyalty to our democracy and our constitution. Senate Dems will not let this witch hunt go unanswered.

As Americans face rising costs and soaring healthcare premiums, Americans are feeling the pain of a struggling job market. Once again, Trump over-promises and under-delivers.

In 2024, Trump promised to create “millions and millions of blue-collar jobs and jobs of every type.” Here’s the reality he delivered in 2025:

We’re 3 days away from a DHS shutdown and Republicans have not gotten serious about negotiating a solution that reins in ICE and stops the violence. Democrats will not support a CR to extend the status quo.

My friend Charlie Rangel represented Harlem in Congress for 46 years. War hero. Assistant U.S. Attorney for SDNY. Founding member of @cbc.house.gov. Tireless legislator. Mentor. And so much more. We remember Charlie as one of the most effective lawmakers in Congress.

Virginia's Law. Named after late Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre who spoke out on behalf of so many, Virginia's Law will eliminate the statute of limitations that has denied survivors the ability to hold criminals like Epstein accountable. The time for justice is now.

The Trump administration is all talk, no action. Thousands of agents are still roaming the streets in Minneapolis, assaulting people, and barging into homes. It’s only a matter of time before someone else gets seriously hurt. Democrats will not pass a DHS funding bill without serious reforms.
- CS
Democrats are STILL waiting on Republicans to come to the table and negotiate commonsense reforms to rein in ICE and bring an end to the violence. We must end roving patrols. We must have a code of conduct. We must end secret police.

Virginia's Law eliminates the statute of limitations that has shielded criminals like Epstein and denied survivors the ability to hold them accountable. Justice for survivors and victims of abuse should not have an expiration date. Virginia's Law will change that.

Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable. We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow. Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

“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 said the nation should move on from the Epstein files. No. We will not move on until we get the whole truth, the full truth about the Epstein files—as you promised. We’re not even close to that yet.
