We're learning new details of Trump's corrupt bargain with Bukele to detain people in the US and ship them to El Salvador—without due process—at US taxpayer expense.
This is why @kaine.senate.gov & I forced a vote to hold them accountable for this illegal scheme. Rs blocked it—but we won’t give up.
Trump keeps trying to make the Epstein scandal go away, but it won't—and the release of his incredibly disturbing "letter" to Epstein just makes the release of the files more urgent.
It's been two months since we unanimously passed my amendment calling for FULL transparency. It needs to happen NOW.
Make no mistake: Trump’s war on clean energy will raise electricity prices even higher. It’s simple: higher demand from AI and data centers, and less supply from wind means we pay more.
Another gift to his Big Oil backers and betrayal of American families.
A dangerous moment for all who believe in civil liberties and the rights of individuals. SCOTUS, w/out explanation, just green lit the Trump Admin’s racial profiling.
Detaining people based on their ethnicity is unconstitutional & un-American. Another shameful decision by this Trump-stacked Court.
This Trump-packed Supreme Court is ramping up its reckless practice of providing ZERO rationale for striking down orders from appellate courts that rein in lawless acts by the Trump Admin.
Calling this ‘temporary’ doesn’t change the reality: they are enabling authoritarianism.
Surprise, surprise: Trump’s White House wants to get rid of the watchdog that holds the executive branch accountable to the American people on critical budget issues. They don’t like anything with “Accountability” in the job description.
We cannot stand for this. No Kings.
So Trump illegally withheld funds right up to the 9/30 deadline and now claims there’s no time to spend them? Like setting the house on fire and arguing there's no time to put it out.
This is such a pathetic argument that even *this* SCOTUS might flinch (not holding my breath).
For those who doubted where this was headed, this is what dictatorship looks like — declaring war against an American city. It is not a joke. We must all stand against this lawless regime.
Trump said he was the candidate for peace and promised to end the wars in Ukraine and Gaza on Day One. Now he wants to rename the Department of Defense the Department of War.
Sure doesn’t sound like a guy committed to keeping America out of wars. Another hoax from Don the Con.
Trump thought firing the people who crunched the numbers would change the truth, but it didn’t: his tariff chaos is slowing the economy and costing jobs.
Today's report is just the latest sign of Trump’s failing economy — and it's only getting worse.
RFK Jr has taken a chainsaw to American public health and undermined the mission of HHS. It's no surprise the patriots who still believe in that mission are calling on him to resign.
He is a danger to Americans' health. He should be fired immediately.
The only way to stop bullies is to stand up to them. Kudos to Harvard for holding firm. Those who cave to Trump only feed the beast and make everyone else more of a target.
In these perilous times, we must stand with those defending core principles—and call out those who won’t.
Remember Trump's military parade on his birthday? These are the people he wanted to impress.
He's not mad they're meeting — he's mad they're meeting without him.
Trump's illegal tariffs are nothing more than a backdoor, national sales tax on the American people — all to help pay for the giant tax cut he gave his billionaire buddies.
It's the ultimate betrayal, and SCOTUS should make clear it's unconstitutional.
Trump politicizing law enforcement in Baltimore does nothing to improve public safety. We've boosted the number of FBI, DEA and ATF agents in Baltimore and always welcome more support in coordination with local law enforcement.
Trump’s bloviating and theatrics are a distraction. Full statement:
On Labor Day, we celebrate the extraordinary progress unions have delivered for worker rights, fair pay and so much more.
As collective bargaining rights are under attack from the Trump Admin, I won’t stop fighting for the unions and workers that form the backbone of our economy.
In 2024 Sen. Merkley & I visited the Rafah gate on the Egypt-Gaza border. On the other side was Gaza’s thriving city of Rafah—home to 270K. Today we saw it reduced to rubble.
The Netanyahu govt has gone beyond targeting Hamas to waging a war of destruction against all Palestinians. It must end.
Netanyahu is restricting aid trucks into Gaza—the best way to get food to starving people there—so Jordan is delivering some with air drops.
The Jordanians said @merkley.senate.gov & I could join one of those flights to see the devastation, but Israel denied authorization for our scheduled flight.
Electricity bills are already too high. And when Marylanders’ costs go up even further, they will have Donald Trump to thank for it. This is part of his gift to Big Oil companies, who want to kill competition from clean energy.
We will fight back.
