All you've done for the last 15 years is try to repeal, defund, deauthorize, and dismantle the Affordable Care Act with no alternative. No alternative. Give me a damn break.

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend on its own. On MLK Day, amid renewed fights for justice and accountability in America, we honor Dr. King by showing up, speaking out, and doing the work.

This is sick. This is cruel. This is what abuse of power looks like. But Americans are seeing this evil conduct, they are rejecting it, and the truth will out. https://t.co/aqF9wVrMy6

The federal investigation into the shooting by an ICE officer has focused in on Good’s wife, including whether she may have impeded a federal officer moments before he shot, sources say.

There has been so much misinformation about what we as Americans can do - so I got us a refresher. I encourage everyone to continue courageously exercising your First Amendment rights.

Minnesota is the center of our nation's heartbreak — but they are also the center of our nation's courage. Every one of us needs to dig deeper and match their energy.

Renee Nicole Good’s life mattered just as much as anyone else’s in this country. No matter how hard Trump’s government attacks us for resisting injustice, we will NEVER stand down.

Right now, I’m hearing firsthand accounts of the violence being unleashed in Minneapolis. It’s horrifying. Minnesotans are on the front lines. This is a call for unity, not division.

I am heavy-hearted to learn that a federal appeals court ruled against Mahmoud Khalil. The Trump administration’s persecution of him is unconscionable. I stand with Mahmoud and the Constitution. Khalil has not been rearrested. This legal battle is not over.

On Secretary Noem's watch, ICE agents have terrorized our communities and murdered American citizens. She needs to go.

Trump’s rhetoric and threats toward Greenland are extremely dangerous. Republicans must stand with us to block this insanity.

Statement from Greenland's leader today: "There is one thing everybody must understand: • Greenland does not want to be owned by the USA. • Greenland does not want to be governed by the USA. • Greenland does not want to be part of the USA." ---- Is that clear enough now?

ICE misused deadly force on Nicole Renee Good, and Noem defended it with lies. I just signed legislation to impeach her. My full statement:

I applaud the moral clarity of the prosecutors in Minnesota who have resigned in rejection of DOJ’s request to investigate the wife of Renee Nicole Good. Witch hunts are not justice.

ICE’s excessive brutality should terrify all of us. It is our right and our duty as members of Congress to speak out for what is right and stand up for our constituents. There is no other way.

I applaud the brave protesters in Iran who are demanding freedom and dignity in the face of violent repression. We must listen and stand with them as they fight for their future.

I am horrified by the arson attack at Beth Israel synagogue in Mississippi, the same synagogue that was firebombed by the KKK in 1967 for its civil rights advocacy. This attack is a painful reminder that hatred and antisemitism are not relics of the past. We must be unequivocal

The Fed is meant to be independent and data-driven, so our nation's monetary policy isn't subject to the whim of a party. I am grateful to Jerome Powell for taking that charge seriously and standing up for what's right in the face of this senseless partisan investigation.
