I don't care if Stephen Miller wants ICE to be able to beat up, shoot, or detain citizens. In America, we believe in due process. We believe in our Constitution. We believe in law and order—safe streets, law enforcement we can trust. If you don’t like that? Go to Russia.

Should we be letting any weirdo with an iPhone into our child care centers asking to see proof of kids? Of course not. But that is what is happening. And Trump is promoting it! That's NOT a serious way to uncover fraud in this country, and it's putting our children in harms way.

The SAVE America Act would impose outrageous voter suppression requirements on American citizens. One example: married women who take their spouse’s name & whose last name may not match their birth certificate. Do they not get to vote? This bill is DOA in the Senate.

I voted NO on Republicans' plan to extend funding for a rogue Department of Homeland Security. Democrats are at the table and ready to pass a bill that actually reins in ICE and CBP. Americans are demanding accountability, and we will settle for nothing less.

Reminder: Republicans blew up our national debt by TRILLIONS so they could give tax breaks to their billionaire buddies and foot working Americans with the bill.

From the Congressional Budget Office: Foreign countries pay 5% of Trump's tariffs — Americans, YOU, pay the other 95%. These TAXES on working families are driving up prices and making life unaffordable.

Trump tried to imprison Senators for stating the law, saying things he didn't like. This is a disgusting and corrupt abuse of power—as un-American as it gets. But guess what? Trump doesn't call all of the shots. And the PEOPLE rejected this sham indictment. Keep speaking out.

RFK Jr. is now blocking an updated flu vaccine for NO reason grounded in science. American vaccine policy has been hijacked by a conspiracy theorist—yet most Republicans are happy to just sit on their hands. They are allowing FDA policy to be dictated by DELUSION.

This is what Trump is calling the "Golden Age." He turns tariffs off and on like a toddler with a light switch and YOU foot the bill.

Hey @mayorofseattle.bsky.social—tens of millions in funding for child care and housing are headed your way! I said I'd tear up Trump's budget and write a new one, so that's what I did. The spending bills I negotiated outright REJECT Trump's awful housing & homelessness funding cuts.

Ghislaine Maxwell is not just a convicted child sex trafficker—she is also a serial abuser of many of Epstein's victims. It's bad enough that Trump moved her to a prison so lax it's called "Club Fed", but ANY kind of pardon needs to be COMPLETELY RULED OUT. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

You've got to take the good news when you can get it, and I'm going to be celebrating our Seahawks for a WHILE. So I just HAD to congratulate our Seahawks on the Senate floor today. Just goes to show you can't spell Washington state without a big W! 💚💙🙌 🙌 🙌💙💚

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.

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.

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 ⬇️

I am so glad Randy is home after being illegally detained by ICE—and I am furious that this happened in the first place. ICE & CBP are out of control. I will do everything I can to rein in these rogue agents.

🚨Throughout his career, Justin Olson attacked women, pushing radical beliefs about fetal personhood and undermining our basic rights. He once preached that "wives are the subjects of their husbands." Senate Republicans just gave him a lifetime judicial appointment.

$85 million in federal funding for bus rapid transit is headed your way, @mayorspokane.bsky.social! 🚌🚌🚌 I was proud to secure this funding for Spokane. Investing in public transit connects our communities, strengthens our economy, and gets people where they need to go!

Speaker Johnson doesn't care about requiring warrants signed by a judge to protect your civil rights. Why? It'll take too long. The authoritarian police state & executive overreach Republicans warned about is HERE. But REPUBLICANS are enabling it. Not on my watch.

An American citizen was brutally ripped out of her car, her window shattered and detained on her way to the doctor. Thank you to Aliya for bravely sharing her story. This kind of conduct by ICE is sickening. And it's exactly what I am fighting to put an end to.

Everyone in America with eyes and ears can see what's been happening in Minnesota and across the country. The injustice is clear as day. Enough. We are going to have accountability at DHS or there will not be Democratic votes to fund a lawless agency.

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.

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.

Democrats won't vote to fund a lawless agency. There MUST be accountability at DHS—and if Republicans refuse to make the changes the American people are demanding, they cannot expect Democratic votes.

The same Republicans that gave Trump $200 million to renovate the Kennedy Center in the Big, Ugly Bill said it was too expensive to extend the ACA tax credits. Apparently, there's an unlimited budget for Trump vanity projects and zero dollars for your health care.

Our funding bills send a message to Trump: America will continue to fund cancer research. We WILL keep investing in affordable housing. Congress will NOT abolish the Department of Education. Well, he got the message, and he signed those bills into law.

Trump has made 10,000 times his salary after just ONE year in office. How? Selling access to the White House to the highest bidder. Spread the word: Our crook of a President is corrupt to his core and will stop at nothing to line his own pockets.

This President is selling out our national security to the highest bidder, and it couldn't be more obvious. Will this Republican Congress use its majority to open even ONE investigation into this staggering corruption? There MUST be oversight and accountability.

Kristi Noem's cruel mismanagement of DHS facilities is putting people's lives in danger. There are CHILDREN in this facility. If there are any Republicans who care about basic oversight, we need serious investigations into the conditions of DHS detention centers EVERYWHERE.

It should be crystal clear to anyone with eyes and ears that Trump is DETERMINED to subvert free and fair elections in America. But in America, state and local governments run elections. So Trump can kick rocks. Still, ALL of Congress must be VIGILANT.

Mind you—that's 5,300 references to Trump in the Epstein files THAT WE KNOW ABOUT. And most of the released files have been poorly redacted, often with no rhyme or reason. Trump promised to release the files, so release them—ALL of them. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

Trump wanted to slash funding for medical research by 40%. The funding bill the Senate just passed said: absolutely not. Not only did we reject Trump's funding cuts – Democrats secured nearly half a billion dollars MORE in funding for critical biomedical research.

Important to hear from @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social this week about what's happening in Minneapolis. Any city could just as easily be next. But the power belongs to the people, NOT Trump. I'll be using my voice and vote to press for real restraints and accountability for ICE and Border Patrol.
