Please remember to secure your pets during the fireworks tonight. Pets and vets are not fans of firework sounds. Hope everyone has a relaxing holiday.

SCOTUS thankfully struck down Trump's attempt to end birthright citizenship in a 6-3 vote. This should have been an easy 9-0 decision for anyone who has ever read the Constitution. It requires less than a high school reading level to comprehend. Those 3 justices failed an open book test today.

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers and father figures dedicated to the well-being of future generations.

Juneteenth is a celebration of how far we have come in our country's long history of slavery and oppression. It is impossible to deny these historic scars, for history can never be rewritten. Progress and resilience are vital to America's past, and its future. Vote as if your life depends on it.

The Knicks lost last night because a selfish orange sycophant visited the game and destroyed the vibe. More proof that everything he touches will fail. NY made it very clear he wasn't welcome. Maybe he should take the hint.

Pride Month is very important, especially now. Same-sex marriage is threatened. The very humanity of the trans community is under attack. The fight for equal rights and dignity is far from over.

Our fallen service members sacrificed their lives to defend freedom, democracy, and progress. Today is about remembering how far America has come, and how to uphold those ideals. The current political climate is disrespectful to the soldiers who gave their lives to serve this nation. #MemorialDay

Trump spent billions in taxpayer money on his illegal war, and he has caved to everything Iran wanted. President Obama's nuclear deal was far better. Trump has made another impulsive, disastrous, and incompetent move with far-reaching impacts for everyday people. Another stain on American history.

Trump is now forcing non-immigrant visa holders to apply for green cards from their home countries. If you marry your foreign-born spouse, you can no longer keep them in the U.S. while the application is pending, which can take years. Trump's goal is always to separate families. It's heartbreaking.

This aged well.

Trump had money to pay taxes in China but not in the U.S. So, who’s the real Chinese puppet?

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and mother figures out there, in every kind of family, who make lives better today and every day.

Court process is important in the SPLC case. The DOJ claims it has enough evidence to justify a trial, but that does not prove guilt. A grand jury indictment only establishes probable cause, not the truth. And this DOJ has already shown its corrupt slant in justice.

On April 7, a gunman in an OK school was stopped when the school's principal tackled the man as he entered the lobby. No hesitation, no 'waiting for backup'. He saw his students in danger, and put himself in the way to stop it. In a world constantly on fire, we need more people like Principal Moore.

Happy Easter to those who celebrate! We had a peaceful Easter Sunday; I hope you all did, too.

The use of conversion therapy is nothing short of torture. It is not therapy and has never worked. No amount of organized abuse will make someone change their sexual orientation. It will only make them hate the people who put them through it, and leave lasting shame and scars.

If you're born in the U.S., you're an American. That's what the 14th Amendment says. This was even debated when originally established, and it was intended to apply to immigrants, too. The Constitution matters. Trump, who has committed multiple felonies, is trying to rewrite the law. Despicable.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Wishing you all the luck of the Irish.

Trump has spent around $12 billion so far on his illegal war with Iran. His war-mongering fascist regime is wasting taxpayers' money to distract from Trump's child abuse history in the Epstein files. Committing mass murder for personal gain is just reprehensible.

March 3 is the Texas Democratic primary. It's hard because both Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico are great, but Crockett is a proven voice of integrity in the Senate against this regime in ways that can't be replaced. Talarico could serve Texas well in other ways, but Crockett deserves the vote.

The passing of Neil Sedaka is a huge loss. As we cherish his many hit songs, it's important to recognize how his songwriting from the 50s to the 70s had a significant influence on American pop songwriting even today. He will be missed.

It becomes more embarrassing everyday the lack of action from the DOJ to prosecute those associated with the numerous heinous crimes in the Epstein files. There is no excuse for this inaction except complicity. They're aware, they just benefit from the cover-up.

Anyone shocked by the newest reveal that there was redacted evidence of Trump abusing a minor in the Epstein files would also be shocked to find water in the ocean. The guy is an actual demon. These victims need real justice.

Happy Valentine's day! Given that the world is on fire, joy is an act of radical resistance. My wife and I ordered our favorite local pizza and spent the evening enjoying each other's company with our cats. Go hug the person you love.

Trump's voter suppression bill needs 60 votes in the Senate to advance. There's no path forward for it. Trump threatened an executive order establishing the same requirements, but EOs do not decide how people vote. The Constitution and Congress do. The US isn't run like a glorified corporation.

The average Democratic constituent wants ICE dissolved and off the streets. No amount of negotiation can fix a system that despicable.

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov · 6mo ago

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE: End the roving patrols and racial profiling. Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police. Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

To say there are horrors beyond what could have been imagined in the Epstein files release goes without saying. They will try to point to the uncorroborated parts to hide the overwhelming truths. Don't let them ignore this atrocity.

In the wake of continued tragedies in our country, we must take a moment to acknowledge Black History Month. It is more important than ever to elevate Black voices, as it is clear that without them, the darkest parts of history are doomed to repeat. #BlackHistoryMonth

America came of age with the civil rights movement. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday because of that. While Trump's fascist regime and its corrupt DOJ are dismantling civil rights and promoting white supremacy, it's important to remember who we are as a nation. #MLK

ICE has gained numerous surveillance systems. Historically, once technology is granted to federal agencies, it's almost impossible to take away. Anyone who tries to avoid the debate over abolishing ICE needs to understand that it's the only option to stop its rampant illegal operations.

On Fox News, Bondi ranted about prosecutors who told her they wanted to resign, saying she "fired" them all. Her lack of impulse control likely made them eligible for unemployment benefits. Such idiocy. At least there is some hope that the stupidity of Trump's regime could collapse from the inside.
