For 250 years, we've fought to move closer to a more perfect union. Seeing ICE brutalize our communities under the Trump Administration has Americans recoiling because it doesn't reflect our values. This cannot continue. I'm fighting for accountability and oversight, now.
Alongside @benniethompson.bsky.social, I'm calling for a joint hearing after DOJ and DHS used federal law enforcement as a political weapon in Minnesota. Public safety should never be a bargaining chip, and our democracy cannot be held hostage. Read more:
These are working Americans just trying to get by. We have a responsibility to support them. We passed an extension of these credits in the House. The Senate needs to join us in protecting access to care for millions of families.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, I stand in solidarity with our Jewish community as we remember the 6 million innocent lives lost during the Holocaust. We will continue to stand united against anti-Semitism, hatred, and injustice in all forms.
I voted ‘NO’ on funding for DHS last week because we cannot enable a targeted campaign of fear and intimidation in our country. DHS and ICE need real accountability, clear standards, and respect for constitutional rights. Read more:
Proud to have received an "A" on the End Citizens United 2026 Anti-Corruption Scorecard. I'm fighting for accountability, transparence, and reform in Washington so our government works for the people.
Snow & freezing rain can bring the risk of power outages. Heat your home safely. Be careful if you use a generator: keep it outdoors, at least 20 feet away from windows, doors & garages. Visit ready.gov for information on how to stay safe during a winter emergency.
The Trump Administration is using today’s horrific killing by ICE as a pretext to extort voters’ information from the State of Minnesota. We can’t allow this breach of privacy and betrayal of the Constitution.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis. AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including: "Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"
Since the Citizens United ruling, the wealthiest Americans have spent over $10 billion to dominate American politics. That’s not a democracy. It’s an oligarchy. We need to fix this system and get dark money out of politics.
ICE's detainment of a five-year-old boy in Minnesota is a disgrace. This insanity needs to stop. Today I voted against further enabling this administration’s campaign of fear and intimidation.
The immoral and cruel actions being ordered by President Trump and Secretary Noem and carried out by ICE agents are unacceptable. I voted 'NO' on a funding bill that will further enable this Administration’s campaign of fear and intimidation. Read more:
Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the historic Roe v. Wade decision—and over three years since the Supreme Court stripped it away. I sat down with Planned Parenthood of Central and Western New York President and CEO Michelle Casey to talk about what that means for our country.
We need to end Citizens United, limit the influence of special interests, and end the era of dark money in politics. It’s been 16 years since the Citizens United decision weakened our democracy by putting corporations over people.
The Republican Stop Insider Trading Act falls short. It fails to hold elected officials accountable and does nothing to rebuild public trust.
