Inflation is growing worse, and the president is fixated on all the wrong things - building a ballroom, making himself immune from audits, and waging a war he started without a plan to end it.
Where is the Republican plan to make life more affordable in America?
In this age of crisis, we need to focus on building a future that is responsive to Americans' needs and focused on regaining our credibility with global partners.
Resilience is what should drive the future of U.S. foreign policy. Watch my full CAP IDEAS panel here: https://t.co/fZ9nnwcR4Q
Remember, the constant efforts by Trump to disparage and undermine journalists are not separate from the purposeful dismantling of 60 Minutes and other independent media. This is all connected and coordinated.
Private prison companies like GeoGroup are raking in your taxpayer dollars. GeoGroup could improve conditions at Delaney but choose their profits instead.
Sen. Andy Kim: "It's a choice. Delaney Hall is run by GEO Group. GEO Group is getting a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall. They tell me there is one full-time doctor for 800 detainees. They could have more doctors if they wanted to, but that's cutting into their profits."
I took this photo today of a detainee at Delaney Hall being carried out on a stretcher and into an ambulance. This was after reports of guards beating and teargassing detainees on hunger strike.
The level of cruelty is unimaginable. We need to shut this place down.
Politics doesn’t have to feel like something punching you in the face every time you check the news. We can come together around big, common-sense ideas that most Americans agree on.
That’s the kind of campaign @JamieAgerNC is building - and why I was proud to join him on the trail in western North Carolina.
Standing in solidarity with the hardworking men and women of @steelworkers in Whiting, Indiana, who have been locked out for more than two months. It’s time for serious negotiations for a fair deal so this lockout can end and these Hoosiers can get back on the job and earn an income to support themselves and their families.

My office has received multiple calls today alleging use of pepper spray and physical force against detainees inside Delaney Hall. If true, these actions must stop immediately and demand accountability.
ICE and GEO Group have a responsibility to keep detainees safe; they’ve instead refused to let State health officials conduct full inspections and have repeatedly stood in the way of Congressional oversight.
The people inside Delaney Hall deserve their day in court and to be treated humanely, not violently. The time is now to shut this broken facility down. –AK
What the Trump Admin doesn’t seem to understand is I’m not worried about my safety, I'm worried about the safety of my constituents. I’m worried about people in my state both inside and outside of Delaney Hall. I’ll take on risk to try and keep them safe.
This afternoon, I conducted a congressional oversight visit of the privately-owned ICE facility, Delaney Hall, in Newark, NJ.
What I witnessed and learned from discussions with detainees and officials was deeply disturbing and warrants further oversight and investigations. The medical neglect—denying people access to potentially life-saving care and withholding necessary medicine—is abhorrent.
Delaney Hall must be immediately closed and the Trump administration must cease their cruel, chaotic, and deeply inhumane immigration policies.
Secretary Mullin said I shouldn't have been at Delaney Hall, but I disagree.
This isn't about me. This is about the detainees and their families, the lawlessness we're seeing from ICE.
I was willing to take a risk and I'd do it all over again to keep people safe.
Now there is video of Senator @AndyKimNJ being pepper-sprayed by DHS outside Delaney Hall detention facility on Monday. You can hear onlookers say, “they tear-gassed Andy Kim.”
This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.
He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud.
He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.
He was impeached by his own party for corruption.
Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas.
Together we will stop him.
After being pepper sprayed by ICE agents outside a NJ detention facility on Monday, @SenatorAndyKim said the agents absolutely knew they were firing on a U.S. senator. Totally outrageous.
