Last week, I demanded answers from ICE again about inhumane conditions at Burlington, following up on my oversight visit. This is no place to hold people. Accountability now.

RFK Jr. is a liar. He lied to me about his anti-vax Samoa trip. The CDC’s vaccine advisory panel is now stacked with conspiracists and the US is positioned to lose its measles elimination status. RFK Jr. must be removed now.

If Trump resumes nuclear testing, it would be a gift to China. The US has conducted over 1,000 nuclear tests; China has done just 45. Beijing has much more to gain from new nuclear tests than Washington. For Trump, this would be the height of stupidity. thehill.com/policy/inter...
US accuses China of secret nuclear test, calls for new arms control treaty including Russia
The U.S. on Friday called for a new, broader nuclear arms control treaty with China and Russia after it accused Beijing of conducting a secret nuclear test. “China has conducted nuclear explosive t…

Azerbaijan's plan to sentence Armenian hostages to life imprisonment is a deep injustice. Following the ethnic cleansing of Armenians from Artsakh, President Aliyev continues to show a blatant disregard for human rights. He must uphold due process and release these hostages now.

Trump wants to replace dedicated civil servants with yes-men who will carry out his criminal agenda without questions. Federal workers have a right to do their jobs, free from illegal political interference.

As history teaches us, the only way to win a nuclear arms race is to refuse to run. As New START expires, I'm arguing for a continued U.S. policy of disarmament—rooted in treaties, inspections, and verification.

The Family and Medical Leave Act became law 33 years ago today. It’s been a lifeline to millions, but Congress must secure #PaidLeaveForAll. Paid leave is good for Main Street, it’s good for families, and it’s good for our future.

Anthropic has announced that Claude will remain ad-free. I’m glad to see @anthropic.com agrees that ads in AI chatbots can pose serious risks to its users. That’s why I opened an investigation into AI chatbots’ advertising plans. Companies must put consumers first.

Trump's immigration crackdown is also about stealing the 2026 election. Trump and MAGA Republicans know they can't win at the ballot box, so they are setting the stage to deploy Trump's private army of ICE thugs against American voters. We must protect our elections.
Breaking:
The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

Oil and natural gas are expensive—and dirty—ways to power our grid. The solution isn’t to get more dependent on expensive power—it’s for Trump and MAGA Republicans to stop blocking cheap, clean energy and stop raising prices by exporting gas abroad.

My constituent, Juan David’s habeas petition was denied yesterday. If he is removed from the United States, it will erase all avenues for protection. ICE must allow more time for his T visa relief process to be fully adjudicated.

The Trump administration wants to roll back the fuel economy standards that have saved Americans millions of dollars at the pump. We’re calling on Secretary Duffy to quit caving to the fossil fuel industry and keep the public’s gas pump and health costs down.

Orwellian surveillance tools have no place in a democracy. That is why I introduced the ICE Out of Our Faces Act—to stop ICE and CBP from using dangerous and discriminatory facial recognition technologies. This must end now.

President Trump has said he wants to reduce nuclear arsenals. Sticking with New START limits and seeking a new treaty is the best way to do that. Trump does not want to be the president that started a new, dangerous and expensive arms race with Russia and China.

Autonomous vehicle companies say their cars can do it all. But AVs still rely on remote human beings to navigate dangerous driving situations. We know nothing about who these people are, where they are, or how often they’re telling the AV what to do. I’m demanding answers.

I am calling on @icegov.bsky.social Director Todd Lyons to immediately confirm or deny the existence of a “domestic terrorist” database. If true, you’re violating the Constitution. If not, maybe talk to your “border czar” to get your stories straight. This isn’t a game–it’s the Constitution.

Big businesses are buying their way out of Trump’s tariff taxes. Meanwhile, small businesses are left holding the bag. My Small Business RELIEF Act would end the pain on Main Street and return billions back to our communities.

He’s saying the quiet part out loud: Trump and MAGA Republicans can’t win with their unpopular policies at the ballot box, so they want to steal the 2026 election.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

Let’s be honest: America needs new nukes about as much as President Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. A new nuclear arms race is not the answer. Fewer nuclear weapons is.
