The rhetoric by #Dr.Oz demonizing the #Armenian American community of California are abhorrent and discriminatory – but unfortunately unsurprising given his long history of denying the Armenian genocide. I will always stand with the Armenian community against anti-Armenian hate.

You've probably seen the picture. A small child, Spider-Man backpack, used as bait by federal agents. Whatever your politics, I'd ask you to stop for a moment and ask: what if that was your child? Today I joined @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and @crockett.house.gov to demand: free Liam Ramos.

Who do you believe: Donald Trump’s spin or your own receipts?

I went grocery shopping with my constituent Sue. We were shocked at how much more expensive life has become for Oregonians. See how much more expensive your favorite foods got ⤵️

My team and I are aware of the ICE incident in Santa Barbara today, and we’re coordinating with local officials to gather the facts. Please remain vigilant and stay safe.

I joined Amber and folks at Grow It Forward to learn about their work to keep kids, seniors, and families fed in the Manitowoc community. We created our Food Security Initiative and secured $10 million in the budget to support organizations just like this.

Do you typically receive an IRS refund via a paper check? Thanks to a new Trump Executive Order prohibiting the timely issuance of refund checks, if you don’t give —or do not have— a direct deposit filing number for the IRS you could face over a month’s delay.

It takes a special kind of audacity to insult NATO troops who fought and died defending the United States. Thousands of allied soldiers honored their promise to us, and some never came home. And now a man who dodged the draft five times wants to lecture the world about who showed up?

I convened a roundtable discussion today to highlight rising costs and the increasing lack of affordable housing. I was joined by local housing authorities, nonprofit organizations and stakeholders, who provided useful suggestions to help address this critical issue

Bruce Springsteen — @brucespringsteen.net — is the voice of the people. Hard not to get a little teary-eyed listening to him sing about what's happening in our beloved and great country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWKS...

It was incredible to tour Centro Tyrone Guzman with @pressley.house.gov - the longest standing Latino serving organization in our state. They’re doing incredible work supporting Minnesotans.

Génesis Ester Gutiérrez Castellanos is a 5-year-old U.S. citizen. Karen Guadalupe, her mother, applied for a U Visa after surviving abuse — a visa meant to protect victims. This mother trusted the very system that would fail to protect them. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The fish rots from the head down. Trump has empowered Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem to have Americans killed on our streets, to terrorize our communities, and to constantly lie to the press and the American people. They need to go. And so does Trump.

This week we remember those mercilessly murdered in the Holocaust. In their honor, let us fight authoritarianism wherever it rises, including here in the U.S. by standing with those brutalized by ICE, and speaking out against this horrific mass deportation plan.

This has been investigated multiple times & no fraud was found. And the statute of limitations has expired anyway. This isn’t a real investigation — it’s just another way Trump is trying to rig the election. Kash Patel, show us the search warrant affidavit so we can see how many lies are included.

I'm LIVE with the President of End Citizens United to discuss reforms we need to put in place NOW to combat dark money in politics, crack down on corruption, and strengthen our democracy. WATCH HERE 🚨 www.facebook.com/share/v/1BCp...

The brutal killing of Alex Pretti was an inflection point for this country. We are saying ENOUGH. Republicans need to work with us on serious reforms. It's what the vast majority of Americans want and what many Republicans are calling for as well. The time is now.

Maxwell Frost was assaulted by a racist and Ilhan Omar was charged at and sprayed with a substance by a devoted Trump supporter. While I’m glad both are OK, we need to seriously address political violence. The hate & lies spewed by Donald Trump is a good place to start. -SWM

#TeamBarragán held a Health Insurance Open Enrollment Day in #Carson!   Our neighbors from across #CA44 received free assistance from certified counselors with the California Health Professional Student Alliance— UCLA Chapter to enroll in CoveredCA and Medi-Cal.

Across our nation, we watch in horror and anger at the violence in Minnesota. Joined faith and community leaders in an interfaith vigil to honor Alex Pretti and Renee Good and to pray for peace, courage, justice, and that we never grow tired of doing good.

Too many Michigan families are living in fear that one catastrophic illness or injury could upend everything. As governor, I will work to ensure health care is affordable, accessible, and fair. For all of us.

To my constituents: I hear you, and I stand with you.

Thank you Rabbi Folberg of Temple Emanuel for guiding me through the Arizona Jewish Historical Society’s exhibit at Tempe History Museum last night and for sharing the stories of Gerda and Kurt Klein. We honored them & countless others on Holocaust Remembrance Day through reflection and education.

I cannot support more ICE funding while they’re using their already military-sized budget to do lawless attacks on U.S. citizens and folks just trying to get to work. I’m still a no on DHS funding – we need serious, concrete reforms.

The Trump Administration has dodged questions from Congress and provided bogus legal rationale for these military strikes – so I hope this lawsuit brings actual transparency, justice, and an order to stop these illegal strikes.

While I'm grateful that a federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump Admin from deporting 5 year old Liam Ramos and his father, it should never have gotten to this point. Using a 5 year old as bait and then sending him to a detention center should outrage every American. Our fight continues.

Steven Gonzales has been a steady, forward-looking leader for Maricopa Community Colleges. From helping MCCCD navigate the pandemic to expanding degree options, he’s made a real impact for students across the Valley. Thank you for your work, Chancellor. www.kjzz.org/education/20...

U.S. consumer confidence is LOWER now than at any point in the last twelve years, including the pandemic. The Golden Age?

It is long past time for the entire world to recognize what is obviously true: the IRGC is a terrorist organization committing atrocities against both the Iranian people and around the globe. Now that France has acknowledged it, I hope the EU will swiftly follow through with an official designation.

#ICE is killing innocent Americans and #KristiNoem & the Trump admin. are lying about it. These masked murderers & those directing terror in our communities must be held accountable. (1/2)

#TX07 is a hub for scientific research and advancements in part because of the talent we draw from all over the world. This reckless decision from Governor Abbott threatens Houston's status as a world leader in these life-saving innovations. www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

Today, I joined Access Health CT to assist with enrollment & answer questions about the expired ACA subsidies we've been fighting to extend. Thanks to Governor Ned Lamont, CT is fighting back against the Republican healthcare crisis & using state funds to keep healthcare affordable.

Trump and Republicans are more focused on Greenland, ballrooms and private jets, than they are tackling the affordability crisis Americans are facing. Working families across the country are being crushed by rising costs and Republicans won’t do anything to help.

The two federal agents who killed Alex Pretti were placed on administrative leave. This is a first step towards justice, but these agents must be held accountable. More below.

Community is how we keep our communities safe. That's why our team is partnering with the NJAIJ to host an emergency legal observer information session tomorrow with @repbonnie.bsky.social and @replamonica.bsky.social to learn how to document ICE/immigration enforcement officers' conduct.

Families shouldn't have to fear seeking basic medical care. Children shouldn't be afraid to leave their homes. People shouldn't be shot and killed for filming federal agents. Not one more penny for ICE.

The deranged attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar yesterday is horrifying. I'm grateful that she is ok — her resilience is a testament to the strength of her leadership and service to her community. (1/3)

While President Trump keeps referring to it as a "hoax," this is what we mean when we talk about the affordability crisis. Democrats in Congress are fighting to lower costs so Americans don't have to make impossible choices. Senate Republicans are still blocking legislation to extend ACA Tax Credits

Immigration enforcement of “the worst of the worst” has become a lawless public safety crisis across the country. Noem has failed to ensure accountability for ICE’s rampage throughout our communities and the senseless murders of our fellow Americans. She has lost all credibility and must be fired.

#Trump’s so-called “wildfire recovery” executive order doesn’t help survivors — it attacks California and ignores the law. Watch my comments on @nbcla.com ⬇️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozrZ...

This is the correct first step.   As Minneapolis — and people around the country — mourn the senseless, horrific killing of Alex Pretti, we need a full, unbiased investigation.

I’m thrilled to announce $1.1 MILLION in federal funding for Glen Carbon to build a new water treatment facility! I was proud to secure these resources that will both benefit the local economy and ensure the residents of Glen Carbon have access to safe, clean drinking water.

The American people—even the crypto bros—are being punk'd by the president. Enough with Trump's corruption. Paging Congressional Republicans to grow a spine and conduct oversight.

TOMORROW: I'm hosting an emergency digital town hall to discuss the horrific murders in Minneapolis and holding ICE accountable. I'll be joined by Easha Anand from Stanford's Supreme Court Litigation Clinic. Watch live tomorrow at 6p.m. PT by visiting kevinmullin.house.gov/live

Our campaign for Wake County District Attorney is built on grassroots organizing. In just four months, we’ve made over 54,000 direct voter contacts — Democrats talking to Democrats, neighbors reaching neighbors, and communities building power from the ground up. It’s the part I’m most proud of.

During a Congressional oversight hearing, Mr. Hemsley of UnitedHealthcare personally committed to me that he would investigate denials of in-network status and one-time authorizations to @drelisabethpotter.bsky.social. Hopeful his promise to negotiate in good faith will soon benefit many Austinites.

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

I hope to see you tomorrow! RSVP here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thank you to everyone who joined our January town hall last night in North Minneapolis. Despite the fear and sorrow facing our communities at the moment, I continue to be inspired by the incredible resilience Minnesotans are showing our country and our world every single day.

Political violence has no place in our country. It’s unacceptable. But Donald Trump has given a permission slip to those who think violence and extremism are acceptable responses to disagreement. Just look at ICE. We need accountability now.

🔔Americans paid more than $1,600 last year because of Donald Trump🔔 His reckless policies have only made life more expensive for working families.

Two officers fired at Alex Pretti. He wasn’t threatening them. He wasn’t brandishing a gun. He was defending a woman who was thrown to the ground and pepper-sprayed by DHS. JUSTICE FOR ALEX.

One year after the devastating #PalisadesFire, President #Trump issues an executive order instead of providing real disaster aid. Yet under Trump, our community still hasn’t received a single supplemental dollar to rebuild. That’s not a solution, it's a distraction. And it's unacceptable. (1/2)

The cost of living is squeezing families across NY. Trump promised lower energy and grocery prices. But, Rs have sided with billionaires while leaving Americans with the bill. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are fighting to lower costs & ensure tax dollars are used to help, not harm, our communities.

Communities in Minnesota are living in fear due to the violence and brutality perpetrated by ICE. I'm in Minneapolis with @repilhan.bsky.social to meet with families, organizers and community organizations impacted by Trump's cruel mass deportation agenda. Follow along.

ICE’s mission is not to tear families apart or to operate as if the Constitution no longer applies. When an agency operates without guardrails, transparency, or accountability, it does not make us safer.

Greg Bovino might have been removed from "commander at large" of Border Patrol, but that is not enough. Americans are terrified in their own neighborhoods, and the Administration keeps lying about what we all see. Fire Kristi Noem. Stand down ICE & CBP interior operations.

Things are terrible, but we need to be strategic right now.

Watch live as Gov. Beshear provides a 3 p.m. ET on winter weather response. www.youtube.com/live/m5NWo4B...

It should not have taken this long to remove these officers from the streets. Administrative leave is the bare minimum. We need an independent investigation, and the officers responsible must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

ICE isn’t just targeting the Twin Cities. There’s horror stories in Mankato, Willmar and across Minnesota. Immigration attorneys are still getting hundreds of calls every day from every corner of the state. ICE out now.

Oregon has a strong ag industry, and maintaining our roads and bridges is essential to supporting our economy and connecting our communities. That's why I secured federal funding to keep our infrastructure safe and reliable, and I'll keep working to bring in more resources for #OR06. Read more ⬇️

In what’s already been a harsh winter, Republican policies are about to leave 340,000 people in Illinois hungry. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/01/27/s...

I support Seattle’s efforts to dedicate $33 million to preserving affordable rental housing units, as well as $64 million for the construction of 439 new affordable homes.

We all saw Alex Pretti, a lawful observer exercising his rights, murdered in cold blood by federal agents. And we are all seeing this administration lie to our faces about it. That cannot be how things work in this country.

We don’t want Greg Bovino anywhere near California.

WATCH LIVE: I’m holding a press conference with @repmarktakano.bsky.social and @repraulruizmd.bsky.social outside an ICE field office in San Bernardino to call out DHS’s brutality and demand the removal of Kristi Noem. www.youtube.com/live/CCVI6R9...

We need to lower energy bills. Data centers are driving up costs but we must ensure American families aren’t footing the bill for big tech companies. @whitehouse.senate.gov & I teamed up w/ @welch.senate.gov & others to press ISO New England on its plan to keep costs down for consumers.

Violent settlers in the West Bank are burning Palestinian villages & beating residents with impunity. These attacks have been met w/ silence from the Trump Admin & Netanyahu govt. US taxpayers shouldn't be giving the Netanyahu govt an annual $3 billion blank check for weapons. (1/2)

January 6th was an incredibly dark day for our democracy, and it changed my view of what could be possible in this country in the worst case scenarios. We cannot allow that fear to paralyze us though. Our democracy is fragile, and we have to stand up and work like hell to protect it.

I’ll be discussing my efforts to hold #ICE accountable and push back against an agency that has gone off the rails. Grateful to @friedman.house.gov for hosting, with @chu.house.gov joining us. Watch live ⬇️ www.facebook.com/share/v/16iM...

I’m so relieved that Congresswoman Omar is safe – and I’m inspired by her resolve to continue her town hall after she was assaulted. For years, the Trump Administration has waged a smear campaign against her, and that has consequences. I stand with her and all of Minnesota.

Last week, my office released the following consumer alert on how Minnesotans can protect their digital privacy from DHS agents. I urge all Minnesotans to take steps to protect themselves online from the federal government’s overreach and lawlessness.

This Friday, I'm hosting a vigil for all victims of DHS brutality. What's happening across our country is horrific — and it's not only what we're seeing on the news. We must come together, offer each other strength, and use our voices to demand an end to this terror.

President Trump's rapid approval of winter storm disaster aid proves what's possible with political will. While Colorado is still reeling from the Lee and Elk wildfires and historic Southwest flooding, Trump has yet to approve disaster aid for our communities.

The Trump Administration admitted deporting Any Lopez Belloza in violation of a court order was a “mistake.” Now they need to make it right and bring her home. 80 members of Congress joined me and @warren.senate.gov in demanding they do it today.

Brutal cold, rising prices, and cuts to SNAP have made this a hard winter for a lot of folks in NE Ohio. This week, I visited the Greater Cleveland Food Bank to meet with staff, thank volunteers, and hear more about how people are doing. (1/2)

While ICE's terror remains top of mind, this can't be ignored: The Admin ordered the removal of exhibits across at least 17 national parks that reference climate change and the mistreatment of Native Americans. These parks aren't propaganda sites. They're classrooms, archives, and living records.

Trump is using our national parks as a pawn to try and whitewash history and ignore reality. The National Park Service has a responsibility to present facts without political interference – removing exhibits about slavery and climate change is unacceptable.

It wasn’t enough for Stephen Miller that these American citizens were murdered by ICE and CBP, he had to slander them with lies after their deaths. Miller is a deranged, bloodthirsty bigot, and his policies put lives at risk every day he remains in power. Fire Stephen Miller.

If Trump and Republicans cared about solving the affordability crisis, they could do something about it today. They control the House, Senate and White House. They have the power to lower costs. They choose not to.

Navigating a federal agency can be a long and difficult process. That is why my staff is holding mobile casework hours TOMORROW at Center 50+ in Salem from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM PT. Check out my site for more details 👇

Congrats to Native Health Phoenix on your new dental clinic and to all who helped it make it possible. I’m proud to have delivered $650,000 to help bring this modern, state-of-the-art clinic to life, ensuring more Native Americans have reliable access to high-quality dental care.

ICYMI: After months of unnecessary delays, the state's budget committee released critical funding to continue our near record-breaking license and credentialing processing times. Read about how we're making sure government works better and smarter. ⬇️ content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIG...

I stand with @repilhan.bsky.social against this vile attack—constituents should be able to hear from their elected officials without either fearing for their safety. Trump & Republicans: stop your racist attacks on Rep. Omar & tone down the rhetoric. We all must work to end political violence.

While the whole East Coast gets hit with brutal cold, energy costs are skyrocketing because Trump has launched an all-out assault on clean energy projects across the country.

Trump says he wants to “de-escalate" in Minneapolis, but he just sent Tom Homan to lead operations. The same person who is working to “create a database” on protesters “to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

The American Dream has become unattainable because America has become unaffordable. People are doing everything right — working hard, playing by the rules — and still falling behind. What we’re doing about it. 🧵👇🏼

I appreciated the conversation with @repdexteror.bsky.social, State Rep. Rob Nosse, and many of Oregon's arts and culture leaders. 🧵

The Edgewater Creek Bridge is getting a much-needed rebuild thanks to a great investment of taxpayer money. This project creates local jobs and local infrastructure that will last us another 100 years.

@repilhan.bsky.social showed up for her community in Minneapolis for a town hall and was met with an attack. Still, she continued the event and stood strong.    Rep. Omar is the image of strength and resilience. This epidemic of political violence must end.

Our fight against Trump’s reckless threat to dismantle NCAR continues, and we are building a bipartisan coalition to stop it. I urge all Coloradans to make their voices heard during the NSF's public comment period. See the Daily Camera’s reporting 👇🏽

The Department of Energy is taking a meaningful and long-overdue step forward on spent nuclear fuel by inviting states to weigh in on hosting Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campuses. For interested states, these campuses could deliver significant economic and job-creation benefits.

Trump and his masked agents are terrorizing, brutalizing, and shooting people in the streets. Last week, before the latest killing in Minneapolis, I joined @prettyfuriouspod.com to talk about the stakes of our fight against ICE.

Trump & Vance have repeatedly smeared Ilhan Omar. After their vile attacks, now a Member of Congress was assaulted at a town hall. Dangerous rhetoric normalizes political violence. It puts people in danger.
