I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Pete is 100% correct: "Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty."

I mean, if you had a serious, important job and you made a mistake like this, you'd probably get fired...

Pride isn’t just a party, it’s a protest. This June, we celebrate who we are and stand up to those trying to erase us. Be loud. Be bold. Be unshakable. Queer joy is resistance. #HappyPride

𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝗹𝘂𝘅𝘂𝗿𝘆. It’s the engine of American innovation. This President wants to kill it. ❌ NIH: ⬇️$18B ❌ NASA: ⬇️$6.8B ❌ NSF: ⬇️$5B This isn’t fiscal discipline. It’s surrender—to disease, to ignorance, to rivals like China. We don’t build prosperity by firing scientists & killing missions.🧪

For generations, when people were in danger—fleeing war, persecution, political chaos—they looked to America. Not just for safety, but because we stood for something better. We told them that if you did the right thing—follow the rules, find a sponsor, come with hope—you’d be met with dignity.

Trump gutted @NOAA’s National Weather Service right before hurricane season. Last year, hurricanes cost America $500 billion. Imagine how much more it could be with Trump’s short-sighted cuts that undermine communities’ safety and resilience. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

Good afternoon #Bluesky! Hope today’s battles are ones you fight well and can handle. Here are some shots from this mornings walk. I like to take my time and meander as I hike and this is why. #Photography #Landscape #Flowers #Art #Resist

We have arrived in El Salvador. Trump is illegally arresting, jailing, & deporting people with no due process. We must hold the Administration accountable for these illegal acts and demand Kilmar’s release. Today it’s him, tomorrow it could be anyone else. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

they want us poor, sick and desperate

We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov

If you love your library, listen up…

There’s been no doubt where this was headed. Trump repeatedly said he intended to send Americans to foreign prisons. Justice Sotomayor got that. The conservatives on the Court have no excuse, but they acted like they expected Trump to fall in line & obey, when all evidence was to the contrary.

This is EXACTLY how an opposition party fights back! THANK YOU, @vanhollen.senate.gov! Thank you for keeping this gross violation of due process and civil rights in the news! I can't tell you how much it means to see you fight like this. I'm so grateful for my Senators.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

This is wild…

Yes it’s nonexistent. Here are the stats from the Heritage Foundation

The Supreme Court's confusing order explained: "If the government were acting in good faith here, this order would probably be fine. But the government has made clear that it is not." open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

When I get to the Senate, I'll support a bill to ban Congressional stock trading on day one. No elected official should be cashing in while the American people see their retirements go down the drain.

The U.S. is the only major country on Earth that does not guarantee workers a paid vacation. When a husband, wife & kids are unable to spend any time together on vacation, that is not a family value. It's an attack on everything a family is supposed to stand for. Unacceptable.

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

This was three months ago.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

I've been a Black child, teenager, woman, and now in my Auntie era, in America. We were born "out there". We show up. Every time. We showed up last time at 92%. Y'all get out there and don't come back until you vote for the good of all of us.

Sotomayor is right. According to this Supreme Court, the US can now kidnap, detain, and fly legal immigrants and citizens to a foreign country's prison, even if it's a whoopsie. America, people. Freedom and stuff.

So proud of American Resisters today! #Handsoff

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.
