Absolutely horrific. ICE detained and abducted a minor—a high school student—who the family identified as a US citizen.
ICE is terrorizing our communities—I’m fighting for answers and accountability. This is just wrong.

Releasing the Epstein Files is about justice for victims and transparency for the American people.
We’ll keep fighting like hell until the files are released.
Israel is holding a 16-year-old U.S. citizen in isolation. @state-department.bsky.social: act NOW to free Mohammed Ibrahim—it's your responsibility to protect American citizens. I’m fighting like hell for Mohammed’s immediate release.
Of course Trump’s pardon of the Binance CEO was corrupt! Trump isn’t going to let anything get in the way of his family’s crypto grift.
JUST IN: Even Trump’s favorite outlet has polling showing that Trumpflation is EXPLODING costs for Americans and making a mess of the economy.
Net worth, political party, and level of influence don’t matter. Everyone involved in the abuse of young women must be held accountable.
ICE shouldn’t have unfettered access to DMV data. The Trump Administration has proved it can’t be trusted not to politicize and misuse data—they can’t have a free pass.
On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the lives and legacies of all in the transgender community who have been taken by violence, just for being who they are. Let’s work towards a world where everyone can live a full and free life.

Read the joint statement from myself, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO-06), Chris Deluzio (D-PA-17), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06):
When the Trump Admin. threatened SNAP benefits, @oregonfoodbank.bsky.social stepped up to support communities across the state.
I heard from folks at the food bank in Portland about the work they do each day to connect folks with the resources they need to feed themselves and their families.
Everyone in Oregon should have a safe place to call home.
We celebrated the opening of a shelter in Hillsboro that @repbonamici.bsky.social, @wyden.senate.gov, and I secured funding for, which will connect folks with the resources they need to put them on a path toward a home of their own.
Jackie Merlos is FINALLY reunited with her children after months of ICE detention because of Trump’s cruel immigration policies.
I fought for Jackie and I’ll fight for all our friends and neighbors.
Hallelujah! Equal justice under the law just took an enormous stride forward in the Senate chamber!!!
The Epstein Files Transparency Act that @lujan.senate.gov and I introduced PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

Ranking Member @peters.senate.gov, @schumer.senate.gov, @durbin.senate.gov, and @merkley.senate.gov are leading the entire Senate Democratic Caucus in demanding @LeaderJohnThune IMMEDIATELY let the Senate vote to release the Epstein files.

I stand in solidarity with the Starbucks workers on strike.
When a corporation can pay $96 million to its CEO for just four months of work, it can afford to pay its workers a living wage and decent benefits.
The American public has been crystal clear: they want the Epstein files released.
We need justice and accountability for Epstein’s victims and transparency for the American people. NOW.
Political party and net worth don’t matter—there should be no protecting ANY of the powerful and privileged from facing accountability for abuse and misbehavior.
There’s only one right answer on the Epstein Files: transparency for the public and justice for the victims.

Really starting to make sense why Mike Johnson and Republicans skipped work for 40+ days

NEW: Trump's Department of Defense vanity project could cost taxpayers up to $2 BILLION.
The Administration is once again prioritizing political theater over driving down costs and delivering real results for the American people. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
