While Trump plays games with tariffs and trade wars, millions of hardworking Americans are worried about their retirement savings, their job security, and what the price of groceries and clothes might be this month. These actions are reckless and causing real stress & harm.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

This is a moral moment. It is not left or right, it is right or wrong.

USE THESE WORDS AS MUCH AS YOU CAN !!!

This is what happens when people speak up.

Well well well, I guess Wisconsin agreed on the message for old Elon: “F’ off!”

He JUST BROKE THE RECORD!!! I’ve been listening to him for this last part, and it has been AMAZING what he has said—brought tears to my eyes!

23 hrs. and 49 mins., and Cory Booker is STILL GOING!!!

The Trump administration called it an “administrative error.” But that error led to a nightmare for Maryland Resident Abrego Garcia.

Today is Election Day in FL’s CD 1 & 6! Republicans are scared because their plan to cut Social Security & Medicaid is unpopular! We deserve leaders who fight for people, not billionaires. Vote Josh Weil & Gay Valimont for Congress! Find your polling location: iwillvote.com

What Senator Booker is doing is historic. And important. Oher Democrats have joined in. www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

Florida & Wisconsin, I hope you understand the assignment today! The entire Country, no World, is watching you. Please show up in record numbers and support candidates who will support the constitution & not the con!

Let us pledge today to recommit ourselves to ensuring that every person feels safe, respected, and free to be their authentic self. In a world that too often tests our compassion, choose to be an ally. It is the measure of our humanity and our decency. 🏳️‍⚧️

MAGA: Million dollar give aways in elections… that sounds good! ALSO MAGA: don’t give water to people standing in long lines in the heat… that’s election fraud. 🤯 Maybe if the water is worth millions, that will be acceptable. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Go vote WISCONSIN!!!!

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate Minnesota’s transgender community and recommit to standing up for our neighbors in the face of hatred. As your Governor, I’m proud to stand in this fight with you.

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter. People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government. And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!

Why aren’t you wearing a suit? Have you said “Thank you” to Greenland and Denmark for allowing you to have a base on Greenland?

Whoopi Goldberg likens White House’s handling of Signalgate to cat trying to cover up its own poop

"But unlike Waltz and Hegseth, who both remain in their jobs, the career DHS employee was put on administrative leave and told late last week that the agency intends to revoke her security clearance..." www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

if ever there was a time to throw your (much vaunted!) weight around, this is it... www.aarp.org/politics-soc...

The most common sentence in all news stories over the past two months: “(Media outlet) has reached out to the spokesperson for (government agency), who did not respond to our questions and refused to comment.”

“It’s so unbelievable,” a former White House official, granted anonymity to discuss The Atlantic’s report candidly, said Monday. “These guys all have traveling security details to set up secure comms for them, wherever they are.” www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

The lives of American troops - and every American life - depends on the people in charge of our government taking their responsibilities seriously. But again and again, including with the incompetence that came to light today, they are demonstrating the opposite. My full interview here:

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

I continue to be horrified that President Trump has cancelled a program that tracks thousands of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. Without this crucial database, Ukrainian children torn from their families face even greater obstacles in finding their way home.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Wait. What??

Earlier today the media released a list that names the people from Venezuela that were forcibly removed by the United States to an El Salvador mega-prison. Our client, Andry, was one of them. @L_Toczylowski joined @maddow 👇 youtu.be/_iNQwfptvyA
