Another brutal killing by Trump’s ICE agents. Trump, Vance, Noem, Miller, & the whole morally depraved crew have blood on their hands. These killings are happening at their direction. They must be held accountable. Congress must cut-off funding for these heinous acts NOW!

We must never normalize these ongoing attacks by DHS agents on the people they supposedly protect. Trump, Vance, Miller, & Noem have created a culture of impunity that has led to rampant abuse and killings. Not one more dime for this lawlessness.

Violent settlers in the West Bank are burning Palestinian villages & beating residents with impunity. These attacks have been met w/ silence from the Trump Admin & Netanyahu govt. US taxpayers shouldn't be giving the Netanyahu govt an annual $3 billion blank check for weapons.

Trump's illegal war in Iran is spiking inflation & prices nationwide. Trump’s & Senate Republicans’ solution: ignore rising costs & push for $1 BILLION for Trump's gold-plated ballroom — on the American taxpayers’ dime. All while taking no action on higher costs for the American people.

In August, we stopped the Clarity Act, but when the Senate returns this week the crypto industry & their Republican flunkies in Congress will try again. As is, this bill does nothing to stop Trump's crypto corruption or the use of crypto by bad actors. We can't let this pass.

The ongoing AI threat has been enabled by political corruption. The Trump admin isn't asleep at the wheel; their refusal to address these risks is part of an implicit deal. We should pump the brakes on frontier AI development & confront a corrupt system that's endangering us all.

In just over 4 years, 9 Americans have been killed in the West Bank with 0 accountability. It’s past time we get answers about their deaths & the constant injustices Palestinians face from the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. I'm introducing a resolution requiring the State Dept to begin to answer these questions & I'll be bringing it to a vote when Congress returns.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi. The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges. America must secure her release NOW.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

We were just denied entry into CECOT — the notorious prison in El Salvador where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held. We were there for one simple reason: to check on his well-being, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won’t stop fighting.

A US ambassador's job is to protect & defend the citizens & interests of the United States. Ambassador Mike Huckabee Mike Huckabee has failed to do so. As violence consumes the West Bank & extremists call for a Greater Israel, he's become a mouthpiece for the Israeli govt. He should resign.

I met with President Zelenskyy before his meeting with Trump and Vance. As always, he expressed his gratitude for America's support for the people of Ukraine. He has something Trump will never have or understand: courage and principle. Every American should be outraged⬇️

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Admin can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should've never been abducted. I won't rest until then.

Israel has held 16-year-old American, Mohammed Ibrahim, without trial, for 9 months. He has been denied contact with family & his health is deteriorating. He says he falsely confessed to throwing a rock after being beaten. America needs to secure his release NOW.

Like many of you, I have seen this video, and I'm demanding answers. My team has reached out to ICE repeatedly and have yet to get clear answers. Such mistreatment would be further evidence of the inhumane conditions at the Baltimore Holding Facility — something I have repeatedly called them out on. We will continue investigating & update when we know more.

Today, Congress was finally briefed on Trump's war of choice in Iran. Even behind closed doors, they couldn't get their story straight. But one thing is clear: they don't have a clue what the end game is, and it sure as hell isn't making America safer.

On Friday I spoke with relatives of Americans on the Gaza aid flotilla who were being detained by Netanyahu’s government. Ambassador Huckabee says his highest duty is to protect Americans abroad but has done virtually nothing to return them. He needs to do his job.

Let’s be clear: the Trump Admin is lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs from coming to the US — it’s about grabbing Venezuela’s oil for his billionaire buddies. Trump has put American troops in harm’s way to boost oil company profits. Outrageous.

Netanyahu is simply lying here when he says there has been transparency about these killings. We have been seeking justice for 9 Americans, including Saif Musallet, killed by settlers or Israeli security forces on the West Bank in the last 4 years. In none of these deaths has justice been served.
