There’s no credible reason to threaten to take Greenland—our long standing and valuable ally. Denmark has for years been a great partner on Arctic security and economic development, and it welcomes further cooperation on both regarding Greenland.
Breaking news: The U.S. will impose tariffs on countries that have sent troops to Greenland in recent days, President Trump said, dramatically escalating his effort to acquire the territory despite assertions that the Arctic island is not for sale.
A great day leading our bipartisan delegation to Copenhagen meeting with Danish and Greenlandic officials to reaffirm Congress' commitment to one of our oldest, strongest NATO allies. In an unstable world in which our adversaries are cooperating, our alliances are more important than ever.

Right before leaving this afternoon to lead a high-level, bipartisan delegation to Denmark, I sat down with @coons.senate.gov to talk about the trip's significance, the importance of the NATO alliance, and Trump's ruinous foreign policy. Watch, listen 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/hours-befo...
Today, I’m leading a bipartisan delegation to Denmark to meet with Danish and Greenlandic leaders. Congress is unified in wanting to thank our NATO allies and stand firm against unnecessary threats to trusted partners.
Elon Musk was the largest donor to Trump’s campaign. Now, Trump’s Pentagon is embracing Musk’s chatbot that generates sexual deepfakes of people, including children. If this administration won’t do anything to protect kids, Congress must step up. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...
Every day the Epstein files remain hidden by President Trump and his pawns at the DOJ is another day the victims are denied justice. Trump is breaking the law to keep Epstein’s victims – and the public – in the dark. It’s shameful, and it’s illegal.
Delighted by the House’s bipartisan vote this week to renew and extend the African Growth and Opportunity Act. The Senate should quickly join them to strengthen the cornerstone of U.S.-Africa trade and reinvest in our partnerships on the continent.
Regardless of whether she’s the target of an investigation, this morning’s raid on a WaPo reporter’s home sends a chilling message to journalists trying to do reporting in the national interest. Every American should stand up against this clear assault on the First Amendment & freedom of the press.
Breaking news: The FBI executed a search warrant Wednesday morning at a Washington Post reporter’s home as part of an investigation into a government contractor accused of illegally retaining classified government materials.
Democrats like me have always cared about justice and always will. But if we can't deliver a clear agenda that starts with opportunity and security, too many Americans will keep tuning us out.
Just a reminder that 99% of the Epstein files are still being held up by the DOJ in direct violation of the law. That’s not a delay, it’s a cover-up. Release all the files.
I joined @heathercoxrichardson on Friday to talk about the path forward for my party, and how we need a commonsense immigration policy that embodies this truth: immigrants make all of us – including Americans – stronger and more prosperous.
So Trump can find the money to pay every citizen of Greenland $100K, but won’t do anything to keep Americans’ health care premiums from doubling?
Exclusive: US officials discussed sending lump sum payments to Greenlanders as part of a bid to convince them to secede from Denmark and potentially join the US, according to four sources familiar with the matter reut.rs/4qNBToc
