The Marco Rubio who testified today is not the one I served with in the Senate. He has had a full MAGA lobotomy.
Today I directly told him about the many ways he has betrayed American values and interests:

I met with Ruth in El Salvador just over a month ago to discuss the abysmal human rights situation there.
This news of her likely disappearance is exactly the kind of abuse she warned about. The Bukele regime must release her NOW.
Thanks to Trump's disastrous USDA cuts, DMV food banks have lost 1.4 MILLION meals and food banks nationally are struggling to meet growing demand.
There's nothing "efficient" about taking food from people in need. It's just more cruelty from Trump and his cabinet of billionaires.
Understand this about Trump’s trip to the Gulf:
He sold out our national interest for his family's business interest — giving away key U.S. tech innovations to Gulf countries while they cut deals with his advance man, Eric Trump.
This isn't America First. It’s Trump Profits First.
If anyone can overcome a difficult challenge, it’s President Joe Biden. My thoughts are with him and his family, and I wish him a fast and full recovery.
Let food into Gaza NOW! Netanyahu and his government are starving 2 million civilians. This is day 76 of the blockade. Trucks with food are waiting to get in but are blocked. Children have already died from withholding food.
The U.S. is complicit in this gross violation of international law.
The Trump Admin’s attempt to shield itself from a 9-0 SCOTUS order to “facilitate” the return of and due process for Abrego Garcia by invoking the states secrets privilege is laughable.
They are trying to make a mockery of the rule of law. Glad the courts are not falling for it.
Heartbroken by the loss of two of Maryland’s finest heroes. Lt. Mark Dranbauer and Charles Mudra served their community for years — putting themselves on the line to keep Marylanders safe.
My prayers are with their loved ones and with the entire Baltimore City Fire Dept.
Today I was in Allegany County getting a first-hand look at the impact of the enormous flooding.
I’m inspired by the team spirit and can-do attitude of the local officials, first responders and community members responding to this crisis, and will fully support their recovery efforts.
Today Republicans blocked our bill to hold the Trump Admin and the government of El Salvador accountable for their conspiracy to violate due process rights of people living in the U.S.
This isn't just about Mr. Abrego Garcia — this is about defending the rights of ALL. Shameful.
Remember when Republicans pretended to care about deficits? I'm sure you do since it was literally six months ago and for four years before that.
Now they're perfectly fine adding $2.5 trillion to the deficit to pay for their billionaire tax giveaway — while gutting Medicaid. Sadly predictable.
🚨I'm speaking on the Senate floor ahead of our vote to hold the Trump Administration and the government of El Salvador accountable for their conspiracy to violate the due process rights of people living in the U.S. — including Mr. Abrego Garcia.
Tune in:
The VP of El Salvador repeatedly told me "the ball is in your court" when it comes to bringing Abrego Garcia home — making clear Trump is violating a 9-0 SCOTUS ruling to “facilitate” his return.
I said this in my recent letter to Trump, and here's the video to back it up:
Whoops! Another reminder that Musk's chainsaw massacre of federal agencies has nothing to do with efficiency and everything to do with gutting services that benefit all to rig the government for the few.
Remember: Project 2025 calls for selling off the NWS to the highest bidder…
A dangerous politicalization of intelligence — right out of the “Dear Leader” playbook.
Punishing nonpartisan analysts because they won't bend facts to fit the president's narrative will wreck our intelligence community and endanger our country.
It's insane that a judge once again had to make this clear, but I'm glad they did: college students and faculty exercising their First Amendment rights are NOT A NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT.
The Trump Administration needs to read the Constitution and stop these illegal abductions.
First Trump admitted white South African "refugees" under the gross lie that they're facing “genocide.” Now he's abdicating U.S. leadership at the G20 in South Africa.
Trump is continuing his sick global apartheid policy while China takes the wheel at the G20. America in retreat.
Today marks two months since the Senate unanimously passed my bill with Senator Collins to fix the D.C. budget time bomb set off by House Republicans.
If they don't pass this bill, D.C. won't be able to use its OWN money to fund its OWN schools, public safety and more. They must act.
I’m closely monitoring the dangerous floods in Western Maryland and have offered our support to local officials and first responders on the ground.
My thoughts are with all those affected and I salute all those working to protect our communities.
Thankful for the hundreds of firefighters who have worked to contain this horrific fire in West Baltimore. My prayers are also with the two firefighters who were injured battling a different fire in Baltimore yesterday.
Firefighters risk everything to keep our communities safe.
