I returned to Delaney Hall today with Rep. Menendez and Rep. Pallone after disturbing reports that detainees were being beaten. We confirmed that four people were taken to the hospital. The inhumane conditions inside Delaney Hall must end. It is time to shut this facility down.

Man there are a lot of people out protesting at Delaney tonight. Thank you all. Special thanks to the teams manning the tents. You know who you are.

Peter Thiel is heading to his spiritual homeland of Argentina, following in the historical footsteps of thousands of other deeply problematic men with the exact same haircut.

What was all that fuss about Hunter Biden about?

It’s already too easy for our adversaries to exploit crypto to move billions. We should be strengthening standards, not creating new gaps our adversaries can exploit. The Clarity Act should not pass as written.

Let's prioritize installing solar panels on structures like car parks and building rooftops instead of agricultural land, as this approach embodies sustainable development.

SCOTUS today struck down the conviction of a Black man in Mississippi over the fact that the DA's office in his case threw out Black people from the jury pool: www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup... This is the SAME prosecutor behind the Curtis Flowers case that SCOTUS threw out years ago—this guy:

In the 70’s as a kid everyone was well aware of inflation but we had no fear of Nazis taking over America. Boy, that has changed.

When Democrats regain power: Use it for justice. Fight back. Hold hearings. Launch investigations. Push impeachments. And stop acting like Donald Trump is the only one involved in this mess. 5.

We need to have an honest conversation about the Callais decision, the state of voting rights, and where we go from here. One thing I know for sure — I'm done with this court. Their corruption. The lifetime appointments that protect them. Their abuse of power has to end.

Ken Paxton just gave an Epstein-style deal to a pedophile. Paxton released Adam Hoffman — an admitted child rapist — back on our streets after Paxton’s rich lawyer friend got involved. The Epstein Class has no place in Texas. Ken Paxton has no place in the US Senate.

I wonder what crazy flag the Alitos are flying because South Carolina didn't redistrict like they wanted it to?

I’m proud of the work I did as an AUSA, and I say this with complete sincerity: if you’re an AUSA, and a decent person, who cares about your oath, get out. Get out now without destroying your reputation. A DoJ run to Trumpist specifications is corrupt and incompetent. The stink will stick on you.

AI is everywhere, and most Americans feel like it's moving way too fast. Washington fumbled on Big Tech and social media. We can't make the same mistake with AI. This week, I'll announce two major policy proposals: one on AI and jobs, one on AI safety. What worries you most about AI?

Tillis was quite literally the pivotal vote for Hegseth

In the end, the two Trump administrations will end up killing what, 100s of 1000s? millions of people? bluevirginia.us/2026/05/tues...

Absolutely nothing is stopping John Cornyn, Tillis, Murkowski, & Paul from caucusing immediately with Democrats & giving them control of the Senate. The same is true of Thomas Massie & any 2 retiring GOP Reps in the House. It is a choice to continue caucusing with the authoritarian personality cult.

Cornyn had an opportunity to wash his hands of Trump. He chose to give him a colonoscopy instead
