Trump just embarrassed our country in front of the entire world at the UN. We heard America in Retreat.
For all our partners who still believe in the rule of law, freedom, human rights, and democracy, we need you to step up and lead. It will demand all our collective action.

The Trump-packed Supreme Court has once again allowed Trump to grab more power without deciding the case on the merits or providing any rationale.
This insane practice of giving Trump free rein while the court takes its own sweet time is a recipe for authoritarianism.
I didn't know MAHA stood for "Make America Hungry Again," but that's what Trump and his cronies are doing with this cruel, senseless move.
With food insecurity already on the rise, this will only make it harder to help those in desperate need. It cannot stand.
Public pressure works. Bowing to bullies doesn’t.
Jimmy Kimmel’s return is a win — now Disney and ABC must stand firm in defending his First Amendment rights and those of every American.
When political power can silence speech, our democracy itself is at risk.
A president weaponizing government power to silence speech he doesn't like is a crisis for our democracy.
We must stand with those who refuse to bow to political blackmail — and call out those, like ABC, who cave to a wannabe king and put our rights at risk.
America is already complicit in Netanyahu’s campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza, and now Trump wants to send him $6.4B more in offensive weapons.
Our priority should be ending the war and returning the hostages — not funneling MORE taxpayer dollars to Netanyahu to bomb starving Gaza.
This is the Trump thug who wants to deny due process rights to everyone else. Turns out he was being investigated for taking $50k cash in an illegal scheme, but Trump’s DOJ dropped it.
This double standard and corruption is infecting our justice system.
The King is ordering the prosecution of particular individuals, and threatening to fire AG Bondi if DOJ doesn't go after them. We fought a revolution to prevent this. We don’t bow down to Kings. Patriots must stop this.
Once again the Trump Admin doesn’t want the public to know the facts.
Flying blind is dangerous, but the American people can see what’s happening: Trump is trying to con them and bury the truth.
Today Republicans blocked our commonsense plan to keep the government open and protect Americans’ health care.
They’re following Trump over a cliff — and dragging the country toward a shutdown. Let me explain:
Giving any president a blank check to put our soldiers in harm’s war—as Congress did for the Iraq War—is a gross abdication of Congress’s constitutional duty.
Trump already failed to end the wars he promised to end. We can’t let him drag us into others.
Senate Republicans just voted to give a lawless president a blank check and push the country toward a shutdown — rejecting our commonsense plan to fund the government and protect health care.
We serve the American people, not a king. Republicans should too.
Trump coerced ABC into silencing Jimmy Kimmel — a brazen violation of the First Amendment.
We’re introducing legislation to hold Trump accountable, help Americans protect themselves from this abuse of power, and stand with those who refuse to bow to political blackmail.
Let’s be clear: Trump is weaponizing the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk to attack his critics, silence dissent, and escalate his assault on the First Amendment.
We fought a revolution to guarantee free speech in America. We’re not going back.
We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple.
It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.
Trump and his cronies are using blatant government coercion to suppress speech they don’t like — a gross violation of the 1st Amendment. Shame on ABC for caving to political blackmail.
We must stand with those who resist the bullies and call out those who appease them. NO KINGS.
No surprise RFK Jr. wants to silence transparency and dissent at the CDC. His anti-vaccine extremism has already cost lives — and his policies are putting millions more at risk.
He’s a danger to public health and must be fired.
We must condemn all political violence, regardless of its source.
Sadly, Trump has decided to weaponize the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk for his own political purposes and to go after his critics — while deleting the facts from the DOJ website. Shameful.

On our trip to the Middle East, @merkley.senate.gov and I saw and heard firsthand how the Netanyahu government is engaged in a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza and America is complicit.
Here are just a few takeaways:
