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.
As we honor Rev. Jackson in the coming days, I will be thinking of the many lessons he taught us: “Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping them up.” We should all seek to embody that spirit and serve others the way Rev. Jackson did. Keep hope—alive!
Jesse Jackson was an icon of the civil rights movement and a fearless warrior for justice for all. He was one of the most powerful forces for positive change in our country and our world. America is a more equal, just place thanks to his work. My prayers are with his family & those inspired by him.
Jesse Jackson, a champion of civil rights who twice ran for president, died on Tuesday at 84. His mission, he said, was “to transform the mind of America.” Read more about Jackson's life and legacy: nyti.ms/4rYGB32
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own. And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.
A headline by Politico reads "ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting"
This is not America. This is why Democrats voted NO on more funding for ICE. And we will continue to do so until ICE is reined in and the violence ends.
Trump tried to throw two US senators of the opposite party in jail simply because he didn’t like what they said. This is an attack on free speech. This is an attack on democracy. This is an attack on the rule of law. And the American people won’t stand for it.
When a President tries to jail Senators for speaking their minds just because he disagrees with them, that is not a Democrat or Republican problem—it’s a constitutional crisis of the highest order. We must all come together and take action to stop this erosion of our democracy.
There is no such thing as clean coal. Air pollution from coal causes cancer, asthma, and heart conditions. Stop putting your billionaire donors over the American people.
I’m thankful our Constitution prevailed and protected Sens. Slotkin’s and Kelly’s right to free speech. But the fact that Trump weaponized the DOJ to even attempt this grotesque indictment is beyond alarming. Today it was six Democratic members of Congress, tomorrow it could be anyone.
