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.

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.

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.

This President is a shameful disgrace. But I'm glad Rep. Omar is okay. While Trump incites this kind of behavior, it's important that the rest of us state clearly—over and over again—that political violence is NEVER acceptable. In a democracy, we use our voice & our votes.

I support cleaning house at DHS. Greg Bovino should be fired. Kristi Noem should be fired. Stephen Miller should be fired. But none of those things alone will fix ICE – a new figure will take their place, and nothing will change unless Congress exerts some muscle here.

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)

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.

Sen. Ossoff Statement on FBI Raid of Fulton County Elections Office

The central failure of US immigration policy over my entire adult life is that it has always put xenophobia over facts. This is the result. And if we were talking about facts, this one would be setting off all our alarms. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

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.

I'm relieved @repilhan.bsky.social is okay after she was attacked at her town hall last night. But Trump’s response was shameful — & Republicans should say so. His baseless & racist attacks against her have no doubt endangered her. His inability to condemn the attack is appalling.

Yesterday’s attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar, following last week’s attack on Rep. Maxwell Frost, is deeply disturbing. Grateful that both Members are safe, but violence like this is unacceptable. (1/2)

Any oil company that invests in the production, refining or distribution of Venezuelan oil is exposing their shareholders to significant long term credit liability. We raised that point in a letter to the oil majors today, but want to dive into why: casten.house.gov/media/press-...

I’m taking the Senate floor to share the story of what’s happening in Minnesota at the hands of ICE and CBP – but more importantly, I’ll be imploring my colleagues (regardless of party) to use our power to rein in ICE’s lawlessness. Tune in at 3:10pm CT/4:10pm ET

I traveled to Minnesota to listen to people in their own words after an ICE agent killed Alex Pretti.

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.

On my way to Dilley to meet with five-year-old Liam and check on the safety and well-being of detainees. Here’s the latest on the visit. youtu.be/0VSh7mKn_C8?...

This is exactly why @repilhan.bsky.social was attacked. Trump well knows the effect that his language has on his supporters. This is intentional and it’s revolting and unacceptable. Every Republican should be asked about Trump continuing to incite political violence.

President Trump has repeatedly made unfounded claims about Rep. Ilhan Omar, and his dangerous rhetoric could encourage people to act violently, just as this individual did tonight at Rep. Omar’s town hall.

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.

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.

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.

I've known Ilhan Omar for 8 years. She is a fierce advocate for her constituents and for working people everywhere. No one should endure the constant threats she receives for her advocacy and for what she represents and she is one of the toughest women I know. Cowards won't make her cower.

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.

Bovino is responsible for much of the cruelty and suffering DHS has inflicted upon our communities, including here in LA. We want him out of our cities—not moved back to California with no accountability. Don't let him be the fall guy. We must end DHS' reign of terror.

Political violence is dangerous and wrong. And trying to intimidate Ilhan Omar is a fool’s errand. Just like the people standing up to Trump and ICE, Ilhan’s tough as nails and never backs down from standing up for the people she represents.

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.

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.

These are NM’s all-stars! We are so proud of this years' Service Academy nominees, Congressional Art Competition winner, and Congressional App Challenge winners. These young people are leading with talent and distinction and are making our community proud. Congratulations to you and your families! ❤️

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.

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.

@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.

ICE is trying to build a mass-detention facility in my district. So I called them out. This was their (outrageous!) response ↓ The reason there’s “unprecedented opposition” is because they’re murdering people in the streets. We will not relent. We’re only gonna get louder.

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.

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.

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.

Corruption is rampant in Washington – and that has to change. Today, I’m unveiling an Anti-Corruption Agenda, demanding action in Congress to end Citizens United, ban insider trading and hold SCOTUS accountable. Here’s the plan.

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 👇🏽

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.

Huh, you don't say? 🤔

Castro, Crockett, Community Leaders: Bring Liam Home youtube.com/live/zf0YdXO...

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.

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.

We don’t want Greg Bovino anywhere near California.

I’m relieved to hear that Rep. Ilhan Omar is safe. Incredibly powerful that she continued the town hall with her constituents after being attacked.

Republican policies are forcing families to pay more for food every day.

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.

🔔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.

This Valentine’s Day, join me in sharing some love with veterans in our community: make a video, drawing, card, or just share a short message of thanks. Submit your valentines here! forms.gle/fdatpSxRyriM...

Calling "give money to your kids" a "new kind of philanthropy" and naming it after Trump is weirdly appropriate. Because the first known Trump Account was when Fred Trump bought $3M of chips in his failson's casino.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

I’m grateful that @repilhan.bsky.social is safe. Political violence is never acceptable. Donald Trump has repeatedly incited this kind of hate through his nonstop attacks on her. Ilhan’s strength and resilience are inspiring, and I’m honored to serve with her.

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.

President Trump's VA has imposed a near-total abortion ban – denying care to rape and incest survivors, even in states where abortion is legal.

If MAGA wasn’t a cult, this would be a breaking point for Republicans.

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.

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.

Trump LIED when he said he had nothing to do with Project 2025.   He LIED when he said he wouldn't execute its agenda.    Now, ICE/DHS- at his direction- is carrying out Project 2025's anti-immigrant, anti-rights agenda line by line.   Surprising? I think not.

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.

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.

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.

I’ve been blessed to see another birthday, and I’m grateful for the many years of life and the memories along the way. I woke up this morning to so many birthday messages, and I truly thank you all for thinking of me. I am forever grateful.

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.”

I’m thankful my friend Ilhan Omar is safe after being attacked at her town hall. The person responsible must be fully prosecuted. Political tensions are at an all time high, yet Trump continues his hateful comments toward her. Enough. This must be condemned by everyone.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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)

Budgets are a statement of priorities and values. In his Big Ugly Budget, Donald Trump slashed funding from Medicaid and SNAP food aid. That same law created a $75 BILLION slush fund for an agency operating without guardrails and terrorizing our communities.

I plan to sign this discharge petition as soon as I return to Washington. Haiti is unstable and unsafe. We cannot subject law-abiding immigrants to such cruel conditions. TPS exists for this exact purpose.

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.

Love and faith call us to fight for justice. Join us for an interfaith vigil tomorrow evening in Santa Fe. RSVP here: fernandez.house.gov

Colorado has lost a beloved trailblazer. Jim “Dr. Daddy-O” Walker made history as the first Black person to own a radio station west of Kansas City.

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...

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...

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.

Noem has to go and this chaos must end. She should step down or be fired. If not, Congress should begin impeachment proceedings. 🧵👇🏻

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Gov. Beshear to provide update on winter weather response today at 3 p.m. ET. Watch live via Facebook.com/GovAndyBeshear or YouTube.com/GovAndyBeshear.

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.

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

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)
