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.

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.
February 11, 2026 at 10:27 PM
Donald Trump has declared war on free speech.
February 11, 2026 at 10:18 PM
A grand jury made up of ordinary Americans REJECTED Trump’s abuse of power targeting Sens. Slotkin and Kelly.

I’m so proud of their courage, their poise, their loyalty to our democracy and our constitution.

Senate Dems will not let this witch hunt go unanswered.

In 2024, Trump promised to create “millions and millions of blue-collar jobs and jobs of every type.”

Here’s the reality he delivered in 2025:

We’re 3 days away from a DHS shutdown and Republicans have not gotten serious about negotiating a solution that reins in ICE and stops the violence. Democrats will not support a CR to extend the status quo.

My friend Charlie Rangel represented Harlem in Congress for 46 years.

War hero. Assistant U.S. Attorney for SDNY. Founding member of @cbc.house.gov. Tireless legislator. Mentor. And so much more.

We remember Charlie as one of the most effective lawmakers in Congress.

This announcement is a corrupt giveaway to Big Oil that will endanger our children and grandchildren, plain and simple.

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.
February 10, 2026 at 8:54 PM
The Trump administration is all talk, no action.

Thousands of agents are still roaming the streets in Minneapolis, assaulting people, and barging into homes.

It’s only a matter of time before someone else gets seriously hurt.

Democrats will not pass a DHS funding bill without serious reforms.
February 10, 2026 at 8:19 PM
Democrats are STILL waiting on Republicans to come to the table and negotiate commonsense reforms to rein in ICE and bring an end to the violence.

We must end roving patrols.
We must have a code of conduct.
We must end secret police.
February 10, 2026 at 8:08 PM
Virginia's Law eliminates the statute of limitations that has shielded criminals like Epstein and denied survivors the ability to hold them accountable.

Justice for survivors and victims of abuse should not have an expiration date.

Virginia's Law will change that.

Donald Trump turned the funds for Gateway off, and he’s the only one who can turn them back on.

The hardworking men and women of @weareliuna.bsky.social and I have 3 words for the President: FUND GATEWAY NOW!
February 10, 2026 at 5:43 PM
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.
February 10, 2026 at 1:05 AM
“America’s golden age” was a complete lie.

The numbers tell the truth: Trump has been a disaster for American industry and is killing the blue-collar jobs he promised he’d bring back.

Trump’s record: fewer jobs and higher prices. Change can’t some soon enough.

The most important ad you will see on Super Bowl Sunday. You don’t “move on” from the largest sex trafficking ring in the world. You expose it. #StandWithSurvivors
February 8, 2026 at 10:02 PM
Democrats are united on common-sense reforms to rein in ICE’s abuses.

Simply put: No. Secret. Police.
February 5, 2026 at 8:21 PM
🚨I took to the Senate floor to pass a bill to force the Senate to sue the Trump administration for violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Republicans objected.
February 5, 2026 at 7:47 PM
SENATE AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED ON REINING IN THE ABUSES OF ICE

Americans have watched in horror as ICE has terrorized communities across the country

Federal agents can’t continue to cause chaos in our cities while more Americans are killed

We must rein in ICE

Here’s what we're demanding:

Happy birthday, Rosa Parks!

Today and every day, we remember her courage, strength, and resiliency during the Civil Rights Movement, and we carry that legacy with us in the continued fight for justice.
