President Trump is trying to hijack the Library of Congress. It’s not just inappropriate—it’s illegal.
We can’t stand by while the executive branch invades the authority of Congress.

As global threats evolve, it's vital that our Navy and Marine Corps personnel are fully equipped to respond and protect our nation. Watch the House Committee on Appropriations hearing where we discussed how we're investing in their safety and readiness ⬇️
House Democrats demand the plaque honoring the officers who responded on January 6th & protected our U.S. Capitol be properly displayed—as the law states.
I saw it in the Capitol basement. It’s a shame the Speaker & House Republicans won’t honor those who protected all of us on that dark day.
In honor of Police Week here on Capitol Hill, I introduced a Resolution to direct the @uscapitol.bsky.social to install the plaque.
Unfortunately, my Republican colleagues continue to disrespect the officers who risked and gave their lives protecting the Capitol on January 6th.
President Trump fired the head of the Copyright Office—a direct attack on Congressional authority and a clear-cut abuse of power.
This isn’t about left or right. It’s about protecting the separation of powers.
During #PoliceWeek, we honor the law enforcement officers who work tirelessly to keep us safe.
Trump’s budget proposal would cut law enforcement funding by billions of dollars.
I'm fighting to support police departments and secure resources to help them protect our communities.
President's Trump's unprecedented power grab against the Library of Congress is a disgrace.
I'll be on @msnbc.com's Deadline: White House this afternoon to talk about it.
Tune in.
It was a pleasure to visit Lollypop Farm for a tour of their facility and to hear about the important work they do for our community.
Their efforts help thousands of animals every year.
Cuts to Medicaid will leave seniors and children without care and gut hospitals and long-term care facilities.
We cannot allow the largest Medicaid cuts in American history, especially not in the name of billionaire donors getting trillions in tax cuts.
Join me live on @waytooearly.bsky.social with @alivitali.bsky.social in just a few minutes!
Tomorrow morning around 5:40am I'll be on @waytooearly.bsky.social with @alivitali.bsky.social to discuss Trump's baseless firings of the Librarian of Congress and the Register of Copyrights.
Tune in.
The Trump administration’s decision to end deportation protections for Afghans is unconscionable. Many of these refuges fled their homes after aiding the U.S. military against the Taliban.
To turn our back on American allies seeking safety from violence and terror is unacceptable.
The baseless firing of the Librarian of Congress and illegitimate removal of the Copyright Office Director is an assault on Congressional authority and independence.
I've asked the Library of Congress Inspector General to investigate potential improper access to confidential congressional data.
There's still time to get out to the 127th annual Lilac Festival!
It's great to see our community coming together to enjoy the flowers, nature, food, crafts, live music and more at one of Rochester's most iconic events.
May is #OlderAmericansMonth, a time to honor our seniors and reaffirm our commitment to supporting them as they age.
Protecting the benefits they rely on like Social Security is a promise we must uphold. I'm fighting to ensure every older American has the resources they need to age with dignity.
Register Perlmutter is a patriot, and her tenure has propelled the Copyright Office into the 21st century.
Donald Trump’s termination of Register of Copyrights, Shira Perlmutter, is a brazen, unprecedented power grab with no legal basis.
It's surely no coincidence he acted less than a day after she refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.
Sustained peace in the region—and across the world—is vital for global security, and I am hopeful a long-term agreement can be reached to bring about lasting peace.
I am pleased to see India and Pakistan have reached agreement on a ceasefire. I am optimistic this agreement will hold and allow for diplomatic engagement between the two countries.
Today we mark the anniversary of the National Science Foundation—75 years of advancing science, innovation, and discovery.
Yet, despite its critical role and success, Trump's reckless funding cuts threaten our nation’s progress. It’s time to recommit to supporting science and the future it powers.
