This is voter intimidation, plain and simple. Don't let anyone tell you this is about election security. It's about scaring eligible Americans from exercising their right to vote, and it’s not going to work.

Senator @ChrisCoons makes it clear: Trump refuses to see clearly that Russia is the aggressor and that Ukraine is fighting for its freedom.

A military-grade weapon designed to inflict intense pain has no place in immigration enforcement, and the Pentagon has no business testing weapons for this purpose. Secretary Hegseth needs to explain why the military is using resources on American streets.

The Pentagon has given DHS permission to test a military-grade heat ray & develop tactics for potentially using it in operations at the southern US border, per a memo signed by SecDef Hegseth last month & obtained by CNN. New reporting w/ @priscialva cnn.com/2026/10/21/politics/…

Artificial intelligence has enormous potential to improve our lives, but Americans cannot simply trust that technology companies will police themselves. When companies ask us to trust them, my response is simple: Show us.

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Putin is a killer and a thug, murdering Ukrainian children, dropping bombs on neighborhoods, and tearing families apart. Calling him a humanitarian is like calling Witkoff qualified or capable of doing this job. What are we doing here?

Whether Elon Musk disrupted Starlink on his own or after talking with Trump, Ukrainian civilians, including children, are paying the price. I’m demanding answers.

Elon Musk shouldn’t have the power to influence the outcome of a war with the flip of a switch. Yet he and Trump seem determined to put their finger on the scale for Putin.

Starlink is a key lifeline for Ukraine. Now, its service has been slowed, making it harder for Ukrainians to defend themselves against Russian attacks. We need answers from the Trump administration. Putin’s aggression shouldn’t be rewarded while Ukrainians pay the price.

Yesterday, I spoke w/ President Zelenskyy about Ukraine’s fight for freedom. His bravery and focus stand in sharp contrast to Trump's weakness. Let's be really clear about what's happening: Trump is rolling over to give Putin what he wants, from easing sanctions to fund the Russian war machine to blocking Ukrainian access to critical technology for Ukraine’s defense.

All of this makes it so Putin can kill more Ukrainian civilians, including children, and Trump can pretend he's getting closer to a deal. I’m glad to see some of my Republican colleagues calling out Trump's dangerous appeasement of Putin. We must do more.

This is horrific. The cruelty of Trump's immigration agenda has led to at least 47 people dying in ICE custody under this administration. We urgently need increased oversight and accountability for Trump's immigration enforcement, including ICE.

Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's remarks were made the same day Russia conducted a drone strike killing six civilians including children in a Kharkiv region park, plus missile and energy infrastructure attacks leaving hundreds of thousands without power. kyivindependent.com/what-russias-d… kyivindependent.com/russian-drone-… kyivindependent.com/russia-strikes…

Trump is weaponizing our justice system to interfere in free and fair elections: targeting his political opponents, pressuring states to hand over voter rolls, and sending his Attorney General to campaign for Republicans. This is an abuse of power. The Department of Justice should enforce the law, not help Trump hold onto power.

As Trump continues to bend to Putin, he is putting Ukraine at greater risk in its fight for freedom by restricting access to the technology Ukraine uses to intercept Russian missile attacks, putting untold Ukrainian lives at risk and undermining Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. We are demanding answers from SpaceX about who ordered these restrictions and why.
