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.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"
WATCH: Trump’s VA Secretary confirms his VA abortion ban blocks veterans from getting abortion care in practically ANY circumstance—even rape.    This is outrageous. Women veterans should not be forced to suffer under a Trump abortion ban.
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.
Senator Murray is standing with her arms crossed and looking to her right at the Minneapolis mayor, who is standing and speaking with his arm outstretched. Senator Padilla is standing to the left of them with his arms crossed. They are standing in Senator Murray's office.
There is NO reason this should be happening in the richest country in the world.   Republicans knew their inaction would mean Americans paying an arm and a leg for basic health care—and after lining billionaires’ pockets, they CHOSE to make your health care more expensive.
I keep my promises—President Trump’s budget is in the trash, and an entirely new one is headed to his desk, waiting to be signed into law. In the end, it was Congress and this former preschool teacher—NOT Trump—who had the final say on how we spend taxpayer dollars.
I said I’d rip up Trump's budget & write a new one—and that's what we did. The Senate passed 5 funding bills that reject Trump's catastrophic cuts while splitting off the DHS bill. I fought hard to protect funding families count on—from housing to cancer research.
There's some stiff competition, but this might take the cake for the most blatant form of SHEER CORRUPTION and self-enrichment we've seen from this crook of a President. Know anyone who still supports Trump? Do they support giving him $10 BILLION in taxpayer dollars??
I want to make it abundantly clear: UNLIKE Donald Trump, I want to make it cheap and easy to build housing so the cost of housing comes DOWN and MORE people can afford to buy a home.
"We're not with the activists we're just reporting on them." This is from Don Lemon's reporting at the St. Paul church. Arresting journalists for simply highlighting what's happening in this country is a gross violation of our First Amendment rights. He must be released immediately.
Are you kidding me? People can barely afford rent, much less a mortgage. And the President is outright saying he doesn't care if families can purchase their own home. Americans deserve a Congress and a President who pass laws to lower costs and HELP families buy a home.
Trump: "I don't want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people who own homes."
I voted NO on taking up the funding package before the Senate. Funding for DHS must be split off so we can keep working on common-sense reforms that all Americans support. Talks are happening to do that—and that's good. But we need a real deal locked in first.
"The sweetest person you can imagine." That's how a veteran patient described Alex Pretti - the man we all saw federal agents murder in broad daylight. Trump's VA Secretary initially responded by blaming that horrific killing on Minnesota officials. VA workers deserve better.
Republicans gave ICE a blank check, funding untrained federal agents who've been attacking, detaining, & even killing Americans. Republicans have talked for years about government overreach—well, here it is. Now's the time for senators to prove they care about the Constitution.
The brutal killing of Alex Pretti was an inflection point for this country. We are saying ENOUGH. Republicans need to work with us on serious reforms. It's what the vast majority of Americans want and what many Republicans are calling for as well. The time is now.
We all saw Alex Pretti, a lawful observer exercising his rights, murdered in cold blood by federal agents. And we are all seeing this administration lie to our faces about it. That cannot be how things work in this country.
