Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election.
The Capitol was attacked on January 6, 2021.
Any officer of the law should be able to agree to those facts.

Jack Smith needs to testify publicly under oath before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Anything less is unacceptable.
This is progress. We must get this done as quickly as possible. If not, Republicans will have to explain to the American people why they allowed health insurance premiums to increase astronomically.
In my opinion, that is indefensible.
Congress passed the most important criminal justice reform law in a generation seven years ago.
But the First Step Act was just that—a first step. We must continue reform.
So, I just introduced four bipartisan bills to help make our justice system fairer and communities safer.
This is one of the cruelest things I’ve ever heard a president say.
He is well known for his cruelty, but this is a new depth amid this terrible murder.
President Trump has killed at least 87 people without due process.
The Administration refuses to provide any evidence justifying lethal force.
Stop the boats. Confiscate and destroy the drugs. Prosecute the traffickers.
No American is required to CARRY proof of citizenship.
We don’t live in a “papers, please” country.
Pleased to see the overdue re-release of Belarusian Nobel Peace Prize Winner Alex Bialiatski whom I had the pleasure of hosting in Washington after he was previously released. It’s overdue for Lukashenko to respect the results of the 2020 Belarusian election and end his country’s sellout to Putin.
Antisemitism has no home in America, Australia, or anywhere.
I join the Jewish community in mourning after the horrific antisemitic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach.
As tonight marks the first night of Hanukkah, let us come together and choose light over darkness and love over hate.
Workers deserve a fair playing field everywhere—including baseball.
Great to meet with Major League Baseball Players Association Executive Director Tony Clark in D.C. this week.
NEWS: @blumenthal.senate.gov and I released a GAO report outlining FDA’s dangerous shortcomings of medical device recalls.
Congress must pass my bill, the Medical Device Recall Improvement Act, to protect patients with medical devices from significant health consequences due to inadequate recalls.
Unaddressed trauma can harm mental and physical health, life expectancy, school success, and employment. I introduced the bipartisan RISE from Trauma Act to support children and families facing trauma so they can heal their emotional scars and build a brighter future.
The President’s deployment of troops to American cities, including Chicago, is an abhorrent, direct violation of our nation’s laws and Constitution.
While the Trump Administration has shut out Illinois leaders at every turn, I appreciate NORTHCOM’s willingness to remain transparent.
Senate Republicans just voted to raise health insurance premiums for tens of millions of Americans.
Their vote today was the latest action in their 15-year crusade to demolish the ACA despite the law putting affordable, quality health care within reach for tens of millions of Americans nationwide.
If you have the nerve to speak on child safety here, you should on the Senate floor and everywhere else you can as well.
Big Tech’s time to police itself is over. Time to legislate.
There is no reason why the U.S. needs 15 separate agencies to conduct food oversight.
That’s why I introduced the Federal Food Administration Act to consolidate food safety enforcement into a single agency. This change will protect the foods in our kids’ lunch boxes and on our dinner tables.
Somali-American communities are being targeted by the Trump Administration.
And DHS will continue to lie and spread misinformation about arresting U.S. citizens.
This makes none of us safer.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, who received the Nobel Peace Prize today.
Her commitment to the Venezuelan people’s democratic aspirations has been a beacon of hope for all who have suffered under Maduro’s dictatorship.
I’ll never forget hearing Donald Trump’s racist “shithole countries” comment in a 2018 Oval Office meeting about immigration.
Tom Cotton and David Perdue claimed Trump didn’t say it and accused me of lying.
The truth comes out.
