FBI Director nominee Kash Patel promised no retribution. The next day, we have this grotesque purge at the FBI. Bondi said she would examine pardons on a case by case basis. Then Trump gave 1550 pardons overnight. Their confirmation commitments mean nothing.

Tonight Donald Trump fired dozens of prosecutors at the DC U.S. Attorney's office and agents at the FBI. Another Friday Night Massacre, as the President removes those loyal to the constitution. And installs those loyal to him.

The White House says:.- 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada. What Americans feel:.- Fewer options at the store.- Higher prices for all of us, especially on food . He promised to cut costs. Now he's implementing a Trump Tax on our families. The chaos continues.

At a time when Californians desperately need help, any delay on federal assistance – especially an intentional one by the Administration – adds injury to injury.

History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening. Let’s not become one of them.

Kash Patel can say he doesn’t support violence against law enforcement. He can say that “we” doesn’t mean “we”. He can say any false thing that he wants to deflect responsibility. But it’s what he did that matters. And what he did was disgraceful.

"We" - pronoun - used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself and one or more other people considered together. Does that help @Kash_Patel?

Kash Patel raised money for January 6 insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement. I asked him to look those officers in the eye and tell them he was proud of what he did. He couldn't.

Closely monitoring reports of a mid-air collision tonight at Reagan Airport. Praying for all on board. And grateful for the first responders assisting with search and rescue.

You've probably heard about an executive order freezing government funding. Let me tell you about the most important government agency you've never heard of:

I have no idea what this means, and I don’t think the Trump Administration does either. What I do know is that this is only the beginning. The chaos isn’t a design flaw — it’s the goal — to sow confusion, and never mind the impact on fire victims, small businesses or seniors.

Wishing a joyous Lunar New Year to those celebrating in California and across the country today. May you have a happy and healthy Year of the Snake.

Pam Bondi has demonstrated none of the independence necessary to be the nation's top law enforcement officer. None.

Kash Patel wants to run the FBI – but the Senate still doesn’t have key info from the Special Counsel’s report on his testimony. We need the truth. We need transparency. The DOJ must release these materials. Now. Read my letter with @SenatorDurbin:

This guy for FBI Director? Really?.

Donald Trump's pardons of insurrectionists were a promise:

History is littered with the wreckage of nations whose leaders decided that violence for them was more important than justice. More important than the law, more important than the people.

Donald Trump and JD Vance claim that the pardons of these violent criminals were about due process and "liberty.". They were not.

Donald Trump’s order to halt federal assistance will have deeply destructive consequences for recovery efforts, law enforcement funding, health care access, and much more. This will hurt every community across the country – red, blue, rural, urban, and everything in between.

I'm headed to the Senate floor to discuss Donald Trump's reckless decision to pardon violent criminals who beat up police on January 6th. Tune in:
