If Mark Zuckerberg actually meant what he said in his viral apology, he’d do better.

All blew the whistle against Meta for putting profits over people’s safety.
Profiles in courage.
President Trump is pushing a constitutional crisis if he deploys the military to Chicago.
We saw what happened in Los Angeles. He’s only escalating, and his scare tactics only threaten our safety if they continue.
I’m urging the courts to intervene.
Big day in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Two more whistleblowers have come forward and are calling out Meta putting profits over people.
Big Tech’s time to police itself is over.
The harms of nonconsensual, sexually-explicit deepfakes content online are real and happening at a rapid pace, and disproportionately impact women and girls.
I introduced my DEFIANCE Act as an amendment to the NDAA to give power to victims and crack down on this AI-generated content.
Republicans are confirming woefully unqualified judicial nominees without basic scrutiny.
This is disqualifying.
Republicans are confirming woefully unqualified judicial nominees without basic scrutiny.
This is disqualifying.
Chicago embraces you.
While the President exhibits disdain for immigrants, we embrace them as family who help make our economy thrive and our city strong.
I want to speak to hardworking immigrant families for a moment.
I understand if you’re scared to send kids to school, go to the doctor, or report crimes to police.
But we STAND with you.
Please know that a majority of Americans don't support the anti-immigrant actions by the Trump Administration.
Just as the Trump Administration is ramping up immigration raids in Chicago… the Supreme Court’s conservative majority greenlights racial profiling during ICE arrests.
Justice Sotomayor said it well in her dissent: “This is unconscionably irreconcilable with our Nation’s constitutional guarantees.”
The Trump Administration just announced its planned immigration raids in Chicago.
The President will say they're going after the “worst of the worst,” but the reality is that most of those who will be targeted have NO criminal convictions.
This wastes money, stokes fear, and doesn't make us safer.
Some GOOD news. The FTC just brought its first enforcement action using Senator Cassidy and I’s bipartisan law to protect shoppers.
Many online retail marketplaces are letting knock-off, stolen, dangerous products hit market WITHOUT telling you.
Temu is facing serious penalties. Win for shoppers.
Instead of asking ChatGPT to make him memes and threatening to turn our brave armed forces against American cities, the President should be focused on...
His weak jobs reports.
Record measles cases.
Tariffs hurting American farmers and businesses.
Hidden Epstein files.
The list goes on.
I led @judiciarydems.senate.gov in a letter to AG Pam Bondi on the politicization of antitrust enforcement at DOJ.
Ensuring competitive markets should not be subject to political interference.
Chicago is facing a grave constitutional threat.
The Trump Administration must provide actual details of their planned unlawful military deployment.
Americans don’t want wars, Mr. President.
Renaming the Department of Defense is a waste of time and resources – and an unnecessary vanity exercise.
More people are getting laid off and unemployment rose to 4.3%—the highest level since 2021.
These are the impacts of President Trump’s economic policies—and they aren’t “Making America Great Again.”
While the Trump White House puts the Baltics in a vulnerable position with this dangerous decision, we will continue to fight for and secure funding for an effort funded by Congress on a bipartisan basis that has protected our critical allies on NATO’s eastern flank.
By suspending the Baltic Security Initiative, President Trump is turning his back on our longstanding NATO allies, stripping them of the resources needed to counter increasing Russian aggression in the region as Putin continues to ruthlessly attack Ukraine.
