Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no.
This is abhorrent. The 4th amendment is the law of the land, and you need a warrant to enter people’s homes. The courts must step in immediately and ICE must leave our cities.
A headline by CNN reads “New ICE policy allows officers to enter homes without a judge’s warrant. Here’s what experts say”
When Trump says they are going after the worst criminals, is this who they mean? 5-year-olds aren’t bait and they don’t belong in jail—it’s sickening.
A headline by The Washington Post reads “ICE detains four children from Minnesota school district, including 5-year-old”
Martin Luther King Jr. Day reminds us that we can’t ever give up on his dream. His resilience and commitment to civil rights continues to be a message to our country today: We must never give up in the fight for justice and equality for all.
First it was Tish James and James Comey. Now it’s Senators, Governors, and the Fed Chair. In Donald Trump’s America you get a bogus investigation for doing your job. Americans reject this kind of totalitarian bullying. Where are Republicans? Hiding.
A headline from CBS News reads: DOJ investigating Gov. Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over alleged conspiracy to impede immigration agents
NEWS: Groundbreaking has officially begun on a massive, $100 billion chipmaking plant that will transform Central NY and supercharge I-90 as a semiconductor superhighway. I was proud to deliver the CHIPS + Science Act of 2022 which paved the way for this facility.
This will be a transformative $100 BILLION investment, creating 50,000 jobs, building the most advanced chip manufacturing site in the world, right here in Syracuse. We’re bringing manufacturing home and putting New York first!
I spent years working to bring Micron to Upstate NY, and with the passage of my CHIPS & Science Law, I delivered billions to make it happen. I’m proud to announce Micron’s groundbreaking at its new manufacturing site in Clay, New York!
Opportunity Starts at Home This new housing agenda is full of ideas from @SenateDems to tackle the housing affordability crisis by working to reduce rent, boost home ownership, stop predatory corporations, supercharge construction, and provide housing security for all Americans
Democrats are unveiling a new housing agenda to tackle the housing affordability crisis: —The median price of a home has increased 55% since COVID —Rent prices are up more than 30% —The median age of a 1st-time homebuyer is 40 —America is short millions of homes—increasing costs
A major Verizon outage yesterday affected 100,000+ Verizon users. At a time of high costs, consumers must always be automatically compensated for service disruptions, fully and completely—not just a courtesy or suggestion—and the FCC has a responsibility to require just that.
I just brought legislation to the Senate floor to restore ACA tax credits for 3 years. This legislation passed the House with bipartisan support. Senate Republicans said NO, ensuring health care costs continue to spike for millions of Americans. We are not going to stop fighting.
Donald Trump once again tried to gaslight the American people about the affordability crisis. In a rambling speech attempting to show he cares about the struggles of ordinary Americans, he called it a FAKE. Tell that to anyone who actually has to work for a living.
Trump’s naked political attack against Jerome Powell and the Fed is so dangerous that even Republicans are whispering in the hallways about their concerns—but actions speak louder than words. Republicans should step up and use their oversight powers to bring the DOJ to heel.
