I was excited to see the War Powers Resolution pass the Senate yesterday, and I look forward to voting for it in the House.
We need to be clear: Trump does not have a blank check for war. Invading other nations is under the purview of Congress.

What Americans needed from DHS: a factual statement of remorse regarding the shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
What we got: twisted lies, homophobia, and Kristi Noem in an oversized cowboy hat.
Shame.

The Trump administration is willing to pour billions into foreign wars while Americans lose access to health care at home. Extending the ACA tax credits saves lives here—and that should be our priority.

My heart is with the victim and the Minneapolis community. This is not the first time ICE officials have used lethal force despite the absence of a clear threat. I stand with Senator Smith - ICE needs to leave.
A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.
ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

It takes extraordinary courage to stand up against Trump for inciting violence, attacking our Capitol, and flouting the law.
Now more than ever, we must speak out against this administration’s wrongdoing and resist their attempts to hide the truth.

Right now, Americans are suffering under the weight of whether they can afford the healthcare they need - or are already going without. It’s wrong.
We must provide relief to millions of Americans by extending the ACA tax credits when it comes to the House floor for a vote this week.

Five years ago today, Trump encouraged his supporters to attack Congress, the Capitol, and our democracy.
I mourn for the lives lost and for those injured in the violent attack. Today is a reminder that we must not become numb to political violence.
I am committed to defending our democracy.

Kidnapping a foreign leader invites other countries to do the same. The Trump administration just handed China and Russia permission on a silver platter, risking global stability and putting American lives in jeopardy.

So much for no foreign wars. The President has no legal authority to attack another country or its leaders. He must be held accountable.
