Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

Democrats sought common sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because of Republicans’ refusal to stand up to President Trump, the DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses of ICE. I will vote no.

What’s happening in Minnesota is appalling—and unacceptable in any American city.

This morning, ICE shot and killed yet another person in my home state of Minnesota. The violence committed by Donald Trump’s armed, untrained federal agents must end. Get ICE out of Minnesota NOW.

The Trump Administration needs to stop lying about what ICE is doing. ICE is radicalized, emboldened, and acting with impunity. The American people are seeing it in real time.

Kristi Noem must testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee immediately.

Federal officials must cooperate with state and local law enforcement in Minnesota for a thorough investigation.

ICE agents are eroding law and order and public safety and undermining local law enforcement. They have killed Americans on American streets, masking their faces and eroding American liberties—all as directed by the Trump Administration. End this chaos now.

As Pennsylvania Department of Transportation plow trucks clear roads during this weekend’s impending snowstorm, you can follow along from the comfort of your home. Here’s how to keep track of PennDOT plow trucks in real-time.

ICE, directed by Donald Trump and his Administration, is violating people’s constitutional rights. It’s past time for them to stop wreaking havoc on our communities.

Law enforcement’s goal should always be to keep people safe and build trust with the community. That’s what the Pennsylvania State Police and our local partners do every day.

ICE’s clear abuses of power are only creating danger in our communities. We saw it with the killing of Renee Good, and we see it with more horrific videos of another killing today.

I am outraged by what’s playing out on the streets of Minneapolis by ICE under the direction of the Trump administration. What we are witnessing is not public safety — it is fear, trauma, and violence inflicted on communities.

Was an honor to speak at @jenforpa.bsky.social’s official campaign launch at a packed Moonlit Burgers tonight in Dormont! Thanks to all local officials and members of the County House Delegation for appearing tonight as we gear up for the Feb. 24 special election! Let’s get to work 💪🏻 💙

With over 260 Dutch companies already operating in our Commonwealth — supporting thousands of good-paying jobs — Pennsylvania is open for business, ready to welcome more Dutch investment with open arms.

Today, I was honored to welcome Ambassador Tazelaar to Philadelphia — to discuss how the Netherlands can expand their economic footprint here.

Pennsylvania and the Netherlands have maintained a strong economic partnership for decades — particularly in the life sciences industry, where we’re both poised for transformative growth.

Winter roads can be unpredictable. From sudden snowstorms to icy breakdowns, having emergency supplies in your car could save your life. A blanket, flashlight, snacks, and jumper cables aren’t just “nice to have” — they’re essential. Stay prepared!

Repeal Citizens United. Get money out of politics. Stop the corruption.

People can see clearly that corporate power is corrupting and starving the American Dream.  www.axios.com/2026/01/15/t...

Sen. KELLY: It’s been sixteen years since the Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United decision. Families are paying more for groceries, rent, gas, and health care. They’re wondering why the people they elect seem to always have time for billionaires and big corporations, but not for them?

Sen. KLOBUCHAR: Unlimited, anonymous federal election spending doesn’t encourage free speech. It drowns it out. I’ve long supported the constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

No we don't. If you ‘need a dictator’ to get things done… what you actually need is therapy and a copy of the Constitution.

Exactly what is this "understanding"?

Trump never delivered on his promise to lower costs on Day One. But you know who is? Democratic Governors Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill.

Donald Trump is overseas embarrassing America on the world stage. Again.

Return the power to the people. Overturn Citizens United.

This rural healthcare funding coming to PA is way below our fair share and not close to enough to cover the damage they have caused. [2/2]

The Washington Republican healthcare attacks will kick tens of thousands of Western Pennsylvanians off of their healthcare, jack up healthcare costs, and close hospitals—especially in rural areas. [1/2]

Gov. Josh Shapiro signed an executive order in 2025 to safeguard vaccine access for Pennsylvanians and protect families’ freedom to make their own health care decisions. Learn more about these important steps 🔽 buff.ly/jDye7ua

Backed by decades of science and peer-reviewed research, vaccines save lives. Getting vaccinated isn’t just a personal choice — it’s a commitment to protecting your family, your neighbors and the most vulnerable among us.

Since the start of last year, RFK Jr. has fired public health officials, cut critical scientific research, and made it significantly harder for Pennsylvanians to access vaccines.

Let’s recap the damage RFK Jr. has done to public health in just one year:

Kaja Kallas says Europe is ready to advance a new agenda with India, confirming EU has agreed to move forward with a Security and Defence Partnership. Deal will expand cooperation on maritime security, counterterrorism, cyber defense, and is set to be signed next week at EU–India Summit in New Delhi

Trump: "NATO has treated the United States very badly. We've never asked for anything. We've never got anything." Tell that to the families of 850 soldiers from 19 non-US NATO countries who died fighting to defend the United States in Afghanistan - the only occasion Article 5 was ever triggered.

This year, the income limit for PTRR applicants increased by more than $1,500 from last year, so even more seniors can get relief. I don’t want you to miss out on the money you’re due. Apply at pa.gov/PTRR before June 30th.

I promised that we would put more money back in our seniors’ pockets to help them make ends meet. And that’s exactly what we’ve done.

Got down to the nuts and bolts of public service at @templeuniv.bsky.social with Global Citizen yesterday… (get it?)

Job Alert: My office is looking for a dedicated Communications Assistant to add to our team. For a full description and how to apply, visit: www.governmentjobs.com/careers/pabu...

Last week, we designated 11 family farms for being family-owned for 100 years or more – including one dating back to the Revolutionary War.   Farming is a strong tradition here in PA & with nearly 49,000 farms we’re making sure farmers have the resources to be successful for the next century.

Children’s safety online shouldn’t be partisan. Social media platforms are deliberately using AI to hook kids—capturing attention, collecting data, and prioritizing profit over well-being. Listen to @cantwell.senate.gov's statement here: www.commerce.senate.gov/2026/1/exper...

Trump said that when he became President, he would "end inflation." He didn't and it’s not a priority of his. A new report from the Joint Economic Committee Democratic Office finds that American families’ costs went up by an average of $1,625 due to inflation during year one of Trump’s presidency.

We aren’t a “papers, please” country. Citizen checks are unconstitutional—and Kristi Noem must cease them.

Thankful for the incredible life, leadership and legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The struggle continues.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day reminds us that we can’t ever give up on his dream. His resilience and commitment to civil rights continues to be a message to our country today: We must never give up in the fight for justice and equality for all.

In just one year, Donald Trump has tanked the economy, sent prices soaring, decimated the job market, and left families everywhere struggling to make ends meet.

Couldn’t be prouder to see my friends @abigailspanberger.com and @mikiesherrill.bsky.social sworn in as our newest Democratic governors. As I always say, elections are the starting line. Next comes the business of improving lives. And both of them are getting to work immediately to do just that.

"They're going to be held accountable one way or another." IL Governor JB Pritzker vows accountability for current administration officials when Trump's term comes to an end.

Remember - EACH of us can get in the fight for justice for all! Play your role not only on this holiday but everyday!
