When I was a county executive, I worked closely with law enforcement and understood what it means when we trust someone with a badge and a gun to protect our communities. What’s happening in Minneapolis is breaking that trust.

There are plenty of simple, commonsense things the administration could do if they wanted to de-escalate and show that they take seriously the profound and grave harm that their ICE and CBP agents have caused in Minnesota. To start, they need to get out of Minneapolis.

I’m voting no on DHS funding. The horrifying killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti show that Department of Homeland Security is out of control, and Congress needs to put up more guardrails that restore transparency and oversight.

Alex Pretti was gunned down in cold blood, and it will take a lot to undo the harm and terror imposed on the people of Minneapolis and across the country.

To be clear – Greenland and Denmark have always been willing to work with us on Arctic security and economic development. Trump could have gotten what we needed without antagonizing our NATO allies.

Dr. King showed us that justice is a never-ending responsibility. I urge you to celebrate #MLKDay today by standing with those who are asking their government to respect human dignity, wherever they live.

Today, I’m leading a bipartisan delegation to Denmark to meet with Danish and Greenlandic leaders. Congress is unified in wanting to thank our NATO allies and stand firm against unnecessary threats to trusted partners.

Democrats like me have always cared about justice and always will. But if we can't deliver a clear agenda that starts with opportunity and security, too many Americans will keep tuning us out.

I joined @heathercoxrichardson on Friday to talk about the path forward for my party, and how we need a commonsense immigration policy that embodies this truth: immigrants make all of us – including Americans – stronger and more prosperous.

By starting his day with oil executives rather than the Venezuelan opposition, Trump is making clear that his operation against Maduro was only about oil access.

One of the most corrupt presidents in history says his use of military force is only constrained by his “morality.” That should alarm every American.

President Trump has a fifth of the US Navy stationed off the coast of Venezuela. That doesn’t sound like someone planning on keeping his promise of no new foreign wars.

A question for President Trump: what’s the goal in Venezuela? And what are you asking American servicemembers to sacrifice to make it happen?

Even as our servicemembers’ lives are on the line, Trump is just making it up as he goes along in Venezuela.

As we head into the new year, many Americans are about to see their health care costs skyrocket tomorrow. That’s because ACA tax subsidies expire at midnight tonight. I’ll keep fighting for a solution for you and your family.

You heard *a lot* in President Trump’s Oval Office address last night – but you still didn’t hear any solutions to the things that are on the minds of most Americans.
