Stunned and horrified at this news.
This is wrong . Political violence can never be tolerated in America—it’s a direct assault on democracy.
My thoughts today are with the victims and their loved ones in Minnesota. We need swift justice & full accountability.

Voting for the GOP's Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill is voting to kick seniors out of nursing homes. It is voting to shut down rural hospitals. It is voting to take coverage away from kids with disabilities.
Keep up the pressure to make sure a majority of Senators vote NO.
Here’s former ABC reporter Terry Moran’s first post on Substack. Thank you, Terry, for being unafraid to lift up your voice. This is bigger than politics as usual.
When a President is handcuffing Senators, threatening the free press, and so much more—we all have to speak up for our democracy.
I visited a food bank in Seattle today to hear from people who rely on SNAP & Medicaid.
I’ll be sharing their stories everywhere I can—but let me just say it’s just WRONG that Republicans want to cut health care & nutrition to give tax breaks to billionaires who don’t need them.
Keep speaking out.
There's a lot happening right now, but this week, Republicans unveiled some new changes in their Big, Ugly, Betrayal of a bill and snuck in a provision that would allow them to SELL OFF OUR PUBLIC LANDS.
No way. Our public lands are NOT for sale.
Help me spread the word.
Israel’s decision to attack Iran is a dangerous & unprecedented escalation, which endangers American servicemembers and civilians in the region, and puts countless other innocent lives at risk.
I urge the Trump administration to deescalate the situation.
My full statement.
This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.
If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?
House Republicans just voted to cut off public radio broadcasts, defund your local PBS station, and rip away lifesaving aid and bipartisan investments to advance U.S. interests around the world.
I'll be doing everything I can to defeat this bill as it comes to the Senate.
Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was?
We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy.
I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.
Trump's HUD Secretary is asking to cut funding for housing by nearly HALF.
It's absurd to claim we can't afford basic programs to keep people off the streets, but we can afford TRILLIONS in tax cuts for billionaires & giant corporations.
I'm tossing Trump's budget in the trash.
Vandalism & violence are exactly what Trump is looking for as an excuse to push the boundaries of his authority.
I agree with the Governor and our local leaders here: violence is never acceptable.
Exercise your right to protest but remain peaceful. Violence achieves nothing.
Here's what I told Pete Hegseth: his leadership has been chaotic & incompetent.
He has failed to take any responsibility for his egregious mistakes (leaking war plans over signal).
His fixation on culture war nonsense is leaving our military less ready.
And his budget is late.
I just voted to block the sale of arms to the UAE & Qatar.
America should NOT sell weapons to the UAE & Qatar to thank them for gifting Trump a brand new jet or buying into his crypto schemes.
But Republicans opposed our resolution. The corruption they are enabling at this point is frankly absurd.
Well at least there wasn't a measles outbreak during all this chaos or anything.
Trump threatening "heavy force" against peaceful protestors who oppose his Beijing-style military parade?
Deploying the Marines & National Guard to police the American people?
I made clear to Pete Hegseth and my colleagues: all of this is unconstitutional & downright un-American.
Repost if you think we shouldn’t
-kick families off their health care,
-push seniors out of nursing homes,
-force children to go hungry,
-and blow up the national debt...
...to pass massive tax giveaways for huge corporations & multi-billionaires who are doing just fine.
Trump's NIH Director is asking for an $18 BILLION cut to NIH.
He refused to say how many fewer clinical trials would be funded as a result. That’s because he knows these cuts mean fewer clinical trials & fewer cures.
Trump's budget is going NOWHERE as far as I'm concerned.
Trump's NIH Director couldn't tell me how many clinical trials had been impacted by grants he’s frozen, terminated, or delayed.
So I told him—he cancelled clinical trials to:
-Develop an HIV vaccine,
-Treat type II diabetes
-Help cure recurrent ovarian cancer.
This is what's happening RIGHT NOW.
Maybe Trump's been spending too much time baking in the sun out on his golf courses.
But someone should probably let him know this is America, not North Korea.
Americans have every right to peacefully protest his birthday parade. Every right.
My message to Trump’s NIH Director? No one in America wants us to do LESS cancer research.
No one is asking Trump to make it harder to cure Alzheimer's disease.
Yet Trump is cutting all of this NOW and demanding an $18 BILLION cut to NIH next year. Not on my watch.
