Trump’s first year in office recapped: —Illegal tariffs have raised costs —Masked ICE agents are terrorizing our neighborhoods like cartel thugs (right Senator Mike Lee?) —And they still won’t show us the full Epstein files
Donald Trump said he is going to talk for a very long time tonight. God help us. Not sure what he thinks there is to celebrate, because America is a mess thanks to him.
Trump doesn't care about the burdens he's imposing on Americans with his tariffs—but Democrats do. We will NOT extend the Trump tariffs once they expire in a few months. We'll do everything we can to stop them. We won't stand for higher prices and more inflation.
I’m proud to bring Dani Bensky, New Yorker and survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, as my guest to the State of the Union to demand the truth. Dani has turned unimaginable pain into unrelenting advocacy. Survivors deserve justice. Trump must end the cover-up and release the full Epstein files—NOW.
Raiza's son, Dylan Lopez Contreras, was the first NYC public school student detained by ICE. He entered legally, followed the law, and was still detained after attending a mandatory court hearing. We won’t stop fighting to bring Dylan home and end ICE’s lawlessness.
Trump’s chaotic tariff policies have already been rebuked by Democrats, Republicans, and even the Supreme Court. They are a tax on Americans, driving prices higher for families. @democrats.senate.gov will block any attempt to extend Trump’s tariffs when they expire this summer.
Americans are losing their health care to pay for Kristi Noem’s luxury plane. Democrats are going to make Senate Republicans defend this indefensible spending.
A headline from NBC News reads: 'No expense has been spared':
Inside a luxury jet DHS wants to buy for deportations
A victory for the wallets of every American consumer. Trump’s illegal tariff tax just collapsed—He tried to govern by decree and stuck families with the bill. Enough chaos. End the trade war.
A headline from NBC News reads: Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president
Now Trump wants to spend $2 BILLION to recreate what already exists, with worse results. This is exactly what I warned about and it is exactly why I launched an investigation into the Trump administration’s domestic and global health cuts.
A headline from Washington Post reads: After leaving WHO, Trump officials propose more expensive replacement to duplicate it
The Press Secretary confirms: Donald Trump posted the racist video of the Obamas.
Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.
This is Aliya Rahman, a disabled US citizen who was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when she was violently assaulted, arrested, and detained by ICE agents.   This is why we’re not giving DHS a cent until ICE is reined in – including use of force standards to which they can be held accountable.
"One of the last things I heard on that cell floor was my cellmate begging for medical care." Aliya Rahman describes her brutally assault, arrest and detention by ICE agents, who also refused to provide medical care or disability accommodations, in Minneapolis.
Ramadan Mubarak to all who are observing, in New York, across America, and around the world! As the holy month begins, may your days be filled with peace, reflection, and renewed purpose. Wishing you blessings, ease, and light throughout the month ahead.
Happy Lunar New Year! I was glad to join Senator John Liu’s celebration as we kick off festivities across the country. May the Year of the Fire Horse bring bold energy, resilience, and forward momentum to all who celebrate.

This goes beyond Epstein. I met with survivors & advocates in Rochester and Buffalo to push Virginia’s Law to eliminate the statute of limitations that has shielded criminals like Epstein. Because justice should NEVER expire.

Virginia's Law. Named after late Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre who spoke out on behalf of so many, Virginia's Law will eliminate the statute of limitations that has denied survivors the ability to hold criminals like Epstein accountable. The time for justice is now.
