Today, we remember and honor our nation’s heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. We are forever indebted. We must continue to honor them every day by supporting all who serve and protecting the freedoms they fought to defend.

This week, we stopped Senate Republicans from funding a lawless ICE operation, a $1.8B slush fund, and a $1B ballroom. They thought they could sneak it all through, but the second they had to vote on it, they ran scared. They’ll be back in June, and we’ll be ready to keep up the fight.

Senate Republicans said they will not be voting on a reconciliation bill in the face of opposition to the DOJ's new "anti-weaponization" fund and security funding tied to the White House ballroom. cbsn.ws/3RUKyss

Last night was Stephen Colbert’s final show. The Trump admin weaponized their regulatory power to silence Colbert — it was censorship in plain sight. Freedom of speech isn’t an à la carte menu; you don’t get to pick and choose. Our Constitutional rights must come before Trump’s fragile ego.

A federal judge just dismissed charges against Kilmar Abego Garcia as an "abuse of prosecuting power.” As I’ve said from day 1: When one person’s rights are under attack, we are all at risk. Today is a win for all our constitutional rights.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Breaking news: A federal judge dismissed the Justice Department’s human-smuggling case against Kilmar Abrego García, ruling that the Trump administration improperly brought it to punish him for successfully challenging his illegal deportation. wapo.st/4wRQN0v

Todd Blanche was tripping over his words when I said he was acting far more like Trump’s personal attorney than the people’s lawyer. But behind the scenes, he’s selling out the American people and giving Trump & his family a get-out-of-jail-free card for cheating on their taxes.

I asked acting AG Blanche if Jan 6 rioters who assaulted police would be eligible for their taxpayer-funded slush fund. He wouldn't rule it out. The American people don't want their tax dollars going to people who assaulted police.
Anderson Cooper 360°@AC360

Sen. Chris Van Hollen grilled acting Attorney General Blanche over the Trump administration's $1.776 billion "anti-weaponization" fund. "You have to be in complete a bubble," Van Hollen told Anderson about Blanche seemingly not considering January 6 rioters would seek payment from the fund.

I have always supported nationwide non-partisan redistricting, but I do not support unilateral disarmament. We can’t sit idly by while Republicans gerrymander away our democracy. We must fight back in every way possible.

The anniversary of Brown v. Board reminds us that separate never meant equal. Trump and Republicans continue to wage their morally bankrupt assaults on the progress of the Civil Rights movement. We won’t go back. We will fight them every step of the way.

Trump wants to spend $1 billion of your tax dollars on a gold-plated ballroom. And Republicans are falling in line to vote for it. That should tell you everything you need to know about their priorities.

Patel’s testimony was predictable because he followed the Trump Admin's playbook: lie to Congress, defy oversight, break the law. They can run away from their records, but they can’t hide. When we retake power, we must hold them accountable for lying to Congress. cnn.com/2026/05/13/pol…

When I asked Kash Patel basic questions about public reports on his conduct & weaponization of the FBI, he lashed out, & spewed provable lies. He even refused to say if he knows that it’s a crime to lie to Congress. He’s completely unfit to lead the FBI.

The FBI Director REFUSED to say whether he understands that it’s a crime to lie to Congress. He is a disgrace, and the lies have to stop. The American people deserve the truth.
FactPost@factpostnews

Sen. Van Hollen to Kash Patel: Let the record show the Director of the FBI does not want to answer the question about whether or not it's a crime to lie to Congress. I find that extremely troubling. I find it troubling that you lie to the American people every day. You are a disgrace.

Trump doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself. He’s enriching himself, his family, and his billionaire buddies while working people can barely make ends meet.
 We must take back the House and Senate to root out his corruption. notus.org/congress/democ…

3 million voters in Virginia made it clear what they wanted. We better use every tool we have to fight this.

Every day, I am grateful for who my mother was. She will always be the North Star, guiding my sisters and me through life. I wish a happy Mother's Day to all the moms across our country — especially to my wonderful partner in life, Katherine. Happy Mother’s Day, America.

It’s not enough to just fight against something; we need to fight FOR something. I sat down with NPR to talk about the Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act and how we can unrig our tax system. npr.org/2026/05/04/nx-…

8 years ago today, Trump tore up Obama’s agreement that prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. The “better deal” he promised never came & now 14 US service members & thousands of civilians are dead, the region is on fire, and prices are up. And now Trump is back where this all started: trying to make a deal with Iran.
