Last night we saw an energized and victorious Democratic Party. We can win when we lead with giving people a voice and tackling the tough issues they face everyday. Join us at https://t.co/Zztmg5WGnL!

I’m Sandy Spidel Neumann. I was born and raised in Kansas by working-class parents who taught me grit, fairness, and hard work. When Senator Marshall walked out on Kansans, I knew I had to step up.
I’m running for U.S. Senate to fight for Kansas families, and I won’t walk away. 🌻
I’m not voting for the ICE funding bill. ICE is invading my state and communities across the country, has cut training from 5 months to just 47 days because Trump is the 47th president, and is ramming into people’s houses without a judicial warrant. They are making Minnesota less safe.
Another senseless killing by ICE in Minneapolis this morning. The Senate must vote against funding for ICE until the Administration:
1) Removes ICE from MN
2) Implements ICE operating procedures that adhere to the Constitution, federal, state and local laws, and trains leaders and agents on them (including de-escalation strategies and tactics)
3) Investigates violations and cooperates with state and local investigations
4) Holds ICE agents and leaders accountable
5) Stops lying about ICE actions when video shows otherwise
And Congress must impeach Kristie Noem for gross mismanagement of DHS.
We must demand ICE reform now. It’s in Minneapolis today, but could be in Kansas tomorrow.

There has been another shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis and I am working to get more information. I will update as soon as possible. To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW.
Today we marched together in below zero weather. Thanks to the thousands and thousands of Minnesotans who turned out to stand up and speak out. ICE OUT.
No child in Kansas should ever have to worry about having enough to eat. That's why I am, again, including funding in my budget to allow students currently on reduced price meals to move entirely to free meals. https://t.co/QLfcKqEYbU
ACA tax credits must be extended. We already know that @RogerMarshallMD will vote yet again against keeping healthcare affordable for Kansans.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
Minnesota is meeting fear and division with decency and generosity.
Across the state, we’re seeing neighbors helping neighbors. Grateful to First Congregational Church in Anoka for inviting me to see that work in action today.
$1.4B due to the grift of this Administration. We deserve ethical leaders who serve the people. Congress must step up and assert their authority as a co-equal branch and put an end to the grift.
In @nytopinion
One year ago, President Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he used the presidency to enrich himself, the @nytimes editorial board writes. This is how Trump has pocketed at least $1.4 billion. https://t.co/U35Bm4UaDy
OMG ROGUE DOGE (I mean it’s just stealing your social security info to overturn elections..all in good fun):
“DOGE employee signed agreement to share Social Security data w/the aim of overturning election results in certain states” per DOJ court filing. https://t.co/JRR7bMIRzl
BREAKING: A French media report says Ukrainian intelligence stopped sharing high-value intelligence with the U.S. after concluding American leaks were reaching Moscow, citing a severe breakdown of trust during the Trump administration. The claim is attributed to senior Ukrainian intelligence leaders.
Between this and the Greenland mess, can we just impeach Trump already?
We need term limits and a binding code of conduct and ethics for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Justice Thomas has been on the bench almost as long as I’ve been alive — that’s not good government.
There is no binding code of conduct or ethics for Justices of the Supreme Court — that’s dead wrong.
Congress can and must do something about this, and I’m working to get it done.
Donald Trump’s chaotic trade wars are actually handing advantages to China — hurting our farmers and workers in the process. And his constant threats to NATO are weakening our alliances and emboldening Russia.
Statement from the Nobel Foundation
One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.

After illegally and unconstitutionally striking Venezuela, Trump is now selling Venezuelan oil through a campaign donor, and funneling the proceeds to an offshore account in Qatar – creating a potential slush fund with no accountability, oversight, or guardrails for Trump and his allies.
His continued abuse of power doesn’t serve the Venezuelan people or the American people – and it certainly doesn’t lower costs for Americans.
This outrage is yet another example of his unchecked corruption as he again ignores laws and enriches his friends, donors, and himself.
💯the Senate needs to pass this to lower healthcare costs for Kansans and all Americans. How will you vote, @RogerMarshallMD? Will it be another vote against Kansans?
#SandyforKansas
Millions of Americans saw premiums double & triple because Republicans for months blocked the extension of the health care credits. We offered negotiations—they said no.
17 House Republicans joined Democrats to pass a 3-year extension. The Senate needs to pass this now.
