Trump has turned our closest allies against us and quite literally driven them into the arms of our adversaries.

NO—you're not "drinking other people's abortions." YES—anti-abortion activists are weaponizing environmental laws to rip away abortion care.

Republicans think it's too expensive to protect Americans' health care but they'll shovel money at Pete Hegseth for a $125 million vanity rebrand????

Didn't Trump promise to LOWER prices on Day One?

I said I would tear up Trump's budget and write a new one—and that's what I made sure we did. The Senate passed 3 bills to fund everything from flood control projects to clean energy research, & more. I'm going to make sure CONGRESS decides how taxpayer funds get spent—not Trump.
- PM
No one should ignore these kinds of statements just because the President is delusional. We need to take it at face value. This is undemocratic and un-American. Oh, and by the way, we WILL have elections whether Trump thinks we should or not.

It took over a DECADE for Donald Trump to release a health care "plan", one entire page! And it will do absolutely NOTHING to stop your premiums from more than doubling.

The people in Minneapolis are not creating chaos—Trump is. ICE is completely out of control. Trump is terrorizing an entire city as an act of political retribution. It's Minneapolis today, it could be Seattle or New York tomorrow. Speaking up matters right now.

Today, first responders tackling the fentanyl crisis spent the day planning layoffs instead of helping people. More absurd, pointless chaos from RFK Jr. and this administration.

While the goons in this administration try to be cute about racist dog whistles, it's important to affirm that we reject their hateful vision of America. Diversity IS a strength. Out of many, we are one. THAT'S America. Greatest Democracy on Earth—if we can keep it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Trump & RFK Jr. just ripped away billions to help communities tackle the fentanyl crisis & get mental health care. So much for Make America Healthy Again & saving Americans from addiction. Republicans need to join me in demanding this gets reversed.

I'm really tired of Republicans claiming they care about "protecting women" when all they mean is taking away women’s ability to make decisions about their own bodies.

Anti-abortion extremists are trying to weaponize the EPA against women by saying that medication abortion is POISONING THE WATER SUPPLY and that people are "drinking each other's abortions." Here's what Republicans' star witness had to say. This is just insane.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked an extension of the ACA tax credits. AGAIN. This legislation passed the House with BIPARTISAN support. Republicans are playing games while your health care premiums more than double.
- PM
If Republicans can find time to hold a sham hearing on medication abortion, there is no reason RFK Jr. can't come to the Committee and answer for his dangerous anti-vax agenda that is putting children and families at risk.
video
- PM
Kicking off Senate Republicans' sham hearing on medication abortion by making absolutely clear: MIFEPRISTONE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE. This hearing is not about science. It's about Republicans trying to ban abortion nationwide.

- PM
I have exactly zero intention of letting Donald Trump and Russ Vought decide how taxpayer dollars get spent. I am fighting to make sure Congress does its job to pass funding bills so the American PEOPLE, through their representatives, decide where our money goes—NOT Trump.
video
- PM
Let's be clear: this is a direct result of Republicans REFUSING to extend the ACA tax credits. The Senate could vote ANY DAY to extend them and help bring down your health care costs, but Leader Thune is refusing.

It is genuinely insane to see Republicans give credence to Trump's DELUSION that America should take over Greenland. We're talking about a NATO ally! Every member of Congress should have no problem SHUTTING THIS DOWN!

This Republican Congress needs to decide if they support DHS agents brutalizing an innocent American teenager. This kind of behavior is heinous—and it sure doesn't seem like it's uncommon. There MUST be serious accountability for ICE and CBP. This is NOT immigration enforcement.

Senate Republicans' SHAM hearing to discredit medication abortion, even though it is SAFER than Viagra, is not about science or protecting women's health—it's about their crusade to BAN abortion nationwide. WATCH ⬇️

Trump is openly using the Oval Office to threaten anyone who speaks out against him. This language should be a warning sign for us all that Trump has no regard for our democracy.

PSA: the Trump admin has quietly put in place a near-total abortion BAN at VA. This is an assault on veterans’ health care and a betrayal of women who have put their lives on the line for our country. SPEAK OUT.

I absolutely will not support any large-scale military conflict in Venezuela or a dangerous and expensive occupation.

Repost if you agree: The Senate should vote TODAY to extend the ACA tax credits. The House already passed a bill with a three-year extension that would bring down premiums for MILLIONS of Americans. Now it’s up to the Senate. Leader Thune: Let the Senate vote ASAP.
- PM
There are a lot of business leaders who have groveled and capitulated to this White House who could learn a thing or two from Fed Chair Powell. Trump is not inevitable. The more of us that speak out against his corruption, the less power he has. Speak up. Don't cave.

This is what happens when you give crooks free run of the place. This is a nakedly political and corrupt farce of an investigation. This Republican Congress needs to STAND UP and defend the independence of the Fed. Block ANY Fed nominee until this sham investigation ends.

Trump's brazen act of war in Venezuela isn't America First. It's Big Oil barons first. It's billionaires first. It's Trump first.

- PM
When Trump says he "isn't worried about boots on the ground" in Venezuela, that's because he isn't talking about his family. American citizens must have a say about any act of war. It is OUR soldiers and OUR money at stake.

Pete Hegseth is the least qualified Defense Secretary we've ever had and his open contempt for women in the military is a slap in the face to those who have put their lives on the line to keep us safe.

Would Republicans in Congress still nod their head and go along with it if Russia did what Trump did in Venezuela? Or China? Can North Korea send the military to arrest South Korean leaders? Can Iran make arrests in Israel? Of course not—so let's stop playing dumb.
video
- PM
Trump isn't even trying to hide why he attacked Venezuela: OIL. Americans don't want a war with Venezuela—especially not one to enrich oil executives. Oil profits are not worth putting American lives at risk. No war. No occupation. No "boots on the ground."

Let me repeat: 2025 was the worst year for job growth outside of a recession since 2003. Trump's economic policy has been nothing short of a disaster since the start. How about instead of starting wars with foreign countries, we fix our problems here at home?

It’s important that state & local officials are involved in investigating this shooting. Under the Trump administration, DHS is nothing more than a miserable propaganda machine. We need answers & accountability. Our cities are not training grounds for trigger-happy DHS agents.

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.

BREAKING: The House just passed a bill to extend the ACA tax credits for three years. Now, it's up to the Senate. Leader Thune: let the Senate vote on this bill to SAVE health care. I'm ready to vote YES to bring premiums down for millions of Americans.

Kristi Noem has had a disgraceful tenure marked by chaos, brutality, and rampant corruption. She should resign or be fired immediately. The question for the American people is, will this Republican-led Congress join Democrats in pushing for any accountability?
- PM
President Trump is ignoring the problems he has caused in our OWN country, all to start a war NO ONE asked for in Venezuela with no legitimate justification, no concern for the servicemembers being put in harm’s way, and absolutely NO long-term strategy.
video
- PM
The fact that ICE officers prevented a doctor from rendering aid after fatally shooting an innocent woman is sick beyond measure. As we press for accountability, it is important that all of us spread the facts of this brutal and unjustified killing far and wide.

BREAKING: The Senate just PASSED a bill to prevent war with Venezuela. Don't let anyone tell you this is just symbolic. We will keep pushing until it passes the House, and then we push to pass it with a veto-proof majority. No war. No occupation.
- PM
Conducting immigration enforcement doesn't mean you execute American citizens in the street. Yet DHS is already lying about what we can all see with our own eyes. Since Kristi Noem won't, state governments everywhere will need to hold out-of-control federal agents accountable.

More like "the dangers of Republican politicians who want to ban abortion and control women's bodies." Looking forward to discussing the science that unequivocally shows mifepristone is safe, effective, and essential.

I was just "briefed" on the strike in Venezuela & it's clear Trump has NO serious plan for what happens next. Americans don't want to be dragged into another costly foreign conflict, and they don't want “boots on the ground” fighting a war for Big Oil. No war. No occupation.

??? Is she talking about the hundreds of criminals President Trump pardoned?

Five years ago, I sheltered in the Capitol, praying the lock on my door would hold. Alarms blared. Rioters screamed, "Kill the infidels." I held my breath, not just because I was in danger, but because our democracy was. Democracy held, and I do still believe we can keep it.
video
- PM
There is no reason to think the same President—now bolder than ever in challenging our Constitution—won’t try, once again, to get his way through threats and violence. I won't let Trump rewrite history, and we ALL must use our voices & votes to protect our democracy.
video
- PM
After getting sworn in, Trump pardoned violent Jan 6 rioters. He didn't care if they beat cops or how dangerous they were. Now so many of them are back in jail for OTHER crimes like child pornography & kidnapping. Trump endorses violence as long as it's in service to Trump.
video
- PM
Trump's illegal military strike WAS NEVER about stopping drugs or democracy for Venezuela. It's about OIL and how Trump can use Venezuela's oil to get himself and his donors rich. He is quite literally telling us that. And that's not worth risking American lives for.

If you feel like you're losing your mind as this administration plays footsy with the idea of INVADING GREENLAND, then you're not alone. Let me be clear: America will NOT invade a NATO ally. My Republican colleagues need to join me in making that crystal clear.
