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.

Donald Trump turned the funds for Gateway off, and he’s the only one who can turn them back on. The hardworking men and women of @weareliuna.bsky.social and I have 3 words for the President: FUND GATEWAY NOW!

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.

The most important ad you will see on Super Bowl Sunday. You don’t “move on” from the largest sex trafficking ring in the world. You expose it. #StandWithSurvivors

Democrats are united on common-sense reforms to rein in ICE’s abuses. Simply put: No. Secret. Police.

🚨I took to the Senate floor to pass a bill to force the Senate to sue the Trump administration for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Republicans objected.

Happy birthday, Rosa Parks! Today and every day, we remember her courage, strength, and resiliency during the Civil Rights Movement, and we carry that legacy with us in the continued fight for justice.

Americans are outraged by what ICE has done to our communities. Congressional Democrats are united in our plan to rein them in.

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.

We cannot trust the executive branch to create lasting solutions on ICE. We need real legislation passed through Congress.
- CS
ICE’s abuses go beyond the headlines. Residents are afraid to go to schools, to grocery stores, to even step outside. Agents are patrolling the streets like a military operation. A 20% reduction is not enough. All of ICE needs to leave Minneapolis now.
- CS
Federal agents tear-gassed demonstrators and children in Portland. An agent in Colorado stole a woman’s phone and threw her to the ground. The disgraced former head of Border Patrol urged mass arrests. This isn't what Americans signed up for. We must rein in ICE.
- CS
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE: End the roving patrols and racial profiling. Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police. Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.
- CS
I want to be very clear: Kristi Noem doesn't get participation points by saying agents will start doing what they should've done all along. This is the bare minimum and should apply to agents nationwide. And there is still so much more to do.

Democrats will fight and block Trump’s calls to nationalize elections. The very pillars of American society, democracy and the rule of law will prevail over cult of personality.
- CS
Trump called for Republicans to, “take over voting in 15 states in the country.” Trump calling on his own party to nationalize voting is just more dangerous, autocratic poison. Our democracy is at risk, and it’s all the President’s fault.
- CS
Americans from all walks of life agree that the status quo cannot continue. What's happening in Minneapolis and other cities around the country is not law and order, it's thuggery. We will keep working to rein in ICE’s abuses.

The SAVE Act is nothing more than Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise millions of Americans. Every single Senate Democrat will vote against any bill that contains it. Speaker Johnson should tell SAVE Act Republicans to stand down or else this shutdown will be on them.

The SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow style restrictions on voting. It will be dead on arrival in the Senate. My statement:

“We have nothing to hide. We never did,” Blanche says as he withholds 3.3 million pages of the files over 45 days after the deadline to release them all. Nobody trusts you. x.com/acyn/status/...

This Texas election shows that Trump is really exposed. On ICE, on costs, on healthcare, and on so much more, he’s sinking like a stone.

This is the type of man that Donald Trump allowed to rise to the top of America's immigration enforcement. Disgusting, but not surprising for this out-of-control and despicable administration. We must weed out all of the Dan Bovinos from positions of power—and there are A LOT more of them.

42 days, and counting, after violating the law by failing to release all the Epstein files, Trump’s DOJ has released millions more pages. I’m reviewing the files, and I’ve got some questions for AG Bondi:

Trump's number one priority has been to make the wealthy, wealthier—it has never been the millions of young Americans looking to buy their first home. He’s giving the middle finger to our youngest generation. @democrats.senate.gov are focused on making homeownership possible for everyone.

The Senate is scheduled to take the first procedural vote on a funding package including DHS funding tomorrow. Let me be clear: Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled, the DHS funding bill won’t have the votes to pass the Senate.

The attack on Rep. Omar tonight was a despicable act of political violence and intimidation. I am glad Rep. Omar is OK, and I thank USCP and local police for their quick action to apprehend the suspect.
- CS
In the wake of ICE’s abuses and the administration's recklessness, Senate Democrats will NOT pass the DHS budget until it is rewritten. I will vote no on any legislation that funds ICE until it is reined in and overhauled.

Alex Pretti did not deserve to die. Renee Nicole Good did not deserve to die. Enough is enough. ALL of ICE out of Minnesota now.

Kristi Noem is a liar. Kristi Noem is incompetent. Kristi Noem is vicious. Kristi Noem must be fired.

Please take a minute to read this heartbreaking statement from Nurse Pretti’s family. After their son was killed in broad daylight, they are now forced to defend him against this administration’s lies. It’s another reason why Senate Democrats are united in rejecting this DHS spending bill.

This is abhorrent. The 4th amendment is the law of the land, and you need a warrant to enter people’s homes. The courts must step in immediately and ICE must leave our cities.

First it was Tish James and James Comey. Now it’s Senators, Governors, and the Fed Chair. In Donald Trump’s America you get a bogus investigation for doing your job. Americans reject this kind of totalitarian bullying. Where are Republicans? Hiding.

Democrats are unveiling a new housing agenda to tackle the housing affordability crisis: —The median price of a home has increased 55% since COVID —Rent prices are up more than 30% —The median age of a 1st-time homebuyer is 40 —America is short millions of homes—increasing costs

A major Verizon outage yesterday affected 100,000+ Verizon users. At a time of high costs, consumers must always be automatically compensated for service disruptions, fully and completely—not just a courtesy or suggestion—and the FCC has a responsibility to require just that.

I just brought legislation to the Senate floor to restore ACA tax credits for 3 years. This legislation passed the House with bipartisan support. Senate Republicans said NO, ensuring health care costs continue to spike for millions of Americans. We are not going to stop fighting.

Whether it’s costs or Epstein or ending forever wars, the pattern is the same: Donald Trump talks a big game but never actually follows through.

Donald Trump once again tried to gaslight the American people about the affordability crisis. In a rambling speech attempting to show he cares about the struggles of ordinary Americans, he called it a FAKE. Tell that to anyone who actually has to work for a living.

Trump’s naked political attack against Jerome Powell and the Fed is so dangerous that even Republicans are whispering in the hallways about their concerns—but actions speak louder than words. Republicans should step up and use their oversight powers to bring the DOJ to heel.

BREAKING: I'm headed to the Senate floor to move to pass legislation passed by the House last week to extend the ACA premium tax credits for three years. The American people need relief, and today we have a chance to deliver it.
