George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

For the record: Easy fix!

Republicans can FUND ACA, add law prohibiting illegal aliens from receiving any Federal money (it’s already exists btw)

Shutdown over! It's what Americans want!

SERIOUS QUESTION: Trump gave $20 billion to fund Argentina's free, universal healthcare, why not Americans'

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

High inflation and lack of jobs leave Americans frustrated with the economy

This new poll makes it clear: we’re in striking distance of winning this race.

There’s a massive shift happening in our state. I see it everywhere I go. After decades of one-party Republican rule, we have an enormous opportunity to deliver the change Floridians need.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.
