I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted and is being held in a notorious prison in El Salvador — barred from contacting his family or lawyers. I’m speaking to the press now after we were denied access to the prison to check on his condition. Tune in:

We were just denied entry into CECOT — the notorious prison in El Salvador where Mr. Abrego Garcia is being illegally held. We were there for one simple reason: to check on his well-being, which his family and lawyers have not been allowed to do. We won’t stop fighting.

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

I just met with the Vice President of El Salvador as we fight for the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I’m speaking to the press now with the latest on our efforts. Tune in here:

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump think they can punish people for expressing views they disagree with. Well guess what: that's not how the First Amendment works. I salute Harvard and all those who are resisting Trump's political blackmail and bullying. And shame on those who are not.

To Elon Musk and the other billionaires in Trump’s cabinet, no — Social Security is not a Ponzi scheme. It’s a PROMISE to the American people. On this Social Security Day of Action and every day, we are fighting like hell to keep that promise.

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

Today I visited Maryland's NASA Goddard — the heart of our entire space science enterprise — which Trump and Musk want to gut to fund tax cuts for billionaires. As @hoyer.house.gov, @ivey.house.gov and I made clear, we will fight like hell to stop this assault on American innovation and leadership.

Marco Rubio isn't doing a lot of foreign policy these days, but what he IS doing is disappearing people for voicing their First Amendment rights. Secretary Rubio, why don't you stop lying and picking on college students and come testify before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee?

Yesterday Trump announced the latest law firms that have capitulated to his lawlessness and political blackmail. Shame on them.   Firms that are buckling to Trump’s bullying are paving a short road to tyranny.

🚨Today we learned Trump plans to absolutely GUT the science mission at NASA—the foundation of our entire space program—including its engine: Maryland’s NASA Goddard. Make no mistake: this will destroy America's leadership in scientific research & innovation. It CANNOT happen.

If the Trump Admin was able to illegally abduct Kilmar Abrego Garcia and send him to El Salvador in 72 hours, then they can sure as hell bring him home in less than that. Their foot-dragging on complying with court orders is unacceptable. They need to bring Kilmar home NOW.

The Republican “SAVE Act” isn’t just unnecessary (citizenship is already a voting requirement) — it would also disenfranchise millions of U.S. citizens who don’t have passports or access to their birth certificate, or who recently changed their name. It’s dead on arrival in the Senate.

"Did Putin start the war in Ukraine" should be an easy, slam-dunk question. And yet, every time I ask a Trump nominee that basic question, they bend over backwards to avoid answering — parroting talking points that might as well have come from the Kremlin. Watch this from today:

Today the Supreme Court made the only right choice: standing up for this Maryland father, the rule of law, and due process in our nation. The Trump Administration should NEVER HAVE ABDUCTED Kilmar. It was SHAMEFUL. Now they must bring him home IMMEDIATELY.

What the Trump administration is doing to Kilmar Abrego Garcia is despicable — whisking him off to a torturous prison in El Salvador, without due process, while lying through their teeth. As I told his wife Jennifer, his mother Cecilia, and his brother Cesar, we won’t rest until he’s home.

Yesterday we met with the family of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland dad wrongly deported by Trump. The pain they're feeling is unimaginable. I reiterated what I've been saying from the beginning: this should never have happened — and we won't stop fighting until Kilmar is home.

Elon Musk has been very clear: he wants to privatize the Postal Service — turning it into a for-profit operation that Trump's billionaire pals can cash in on at the expense of the American people. Our message to them: HELL NO.

We're facing a crisis for our judicial system: Trump's cronies are asking federal employees to sign off on positions, including legal assessments, that they believe are wrong or illegal—under threat of being fired. This coercion corrupts the system. Judges should pay attention:

Let me be VERY clear: if Americans can't access their Social Security Benefit, it isn't worth anything. First they went after phone services — now the website keeps crashing. This is NOT acceptable.

Today Trump and Netanyahu talked about their plan to have Palestinians "voluntarily" leave Gaza.   Let's be clear: nothing about this is voluntary — it would mean the coerced deportation of 2 million people from Gaza and U.S. taxpayers should have NOTHING to do with it.

Trump is trying to rewrite the history of the Underground Railroad — even diminishing its conductor, MD's own Harriet Tubman. The Underground Railroad is an important part of the American story. We cannot let him whitewash it as part of his larger effort to erase our history.

Republicans just rammed their terrible budget plan through the Senate. It's never been more clear: they are hell bent on passing a giant tax giveaway for billionaires like Elon Musk at the expense of everybody else. We won't stop fighting.

We'll be in the Senate late into the night fighting this Republican plan to deliver tax cuts for billionaires at everyone else's expense. We've offered amendments to protect Medicare, Medicaid and so much more. Republicans have blocked them all. The Great Betrayal in action.

Unbelievable: FEMA is planning to cut one of its most important programs to protect communities against natural disasters. This will put lives in danger. Again — stupidity, not efficiency.

Trump has thrown our economy into chaos. And what’s he doing about it? He’s at the golf course in Florida. And what are Senate Republicans doing? They’re setting in motion their plan for a giant tax giveaway for billionaires at everyone else’s expense. The Great Betrayal in action.

Remember when Musk boasted he was taking a "chainsaw” to federal programs? After blowback from Americans all over the country, watch how his DOGE boys are trying to rebrand. They’re not fooling anyone:

🚨UPDATE: The judge has ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to be returned to the United States by Monday. This is great news for his family and our country. In America, we have due process. This should never have happened and he must be returned NOW.

Today a federal judge in MD is hearing the case of Mr. Garcia — the Maryland dad whom the Trump admin refuses to bring back to the US after they admitted to deporting him due to an "administrative error." What they're doing is unacceptable. Mr. Garcia has a right to due process.

Donald Trump talks about his tariff plan like it's a miracle cure — like it's something that'll fix all of our problems and make us all rich. Problem is, that's just not true. It's a massive sales tax on working people and it will hurt our economy.

Today Republicans are taking a big step toward passing their billionaire tax giveaway — the centerpiece of Trump and Musk’s plan to rig our government for billionaires while cutting vital services for everyone else. I’m sounding the alarm on this Great Betrayal:

TUNE IN — I’m on the Senate floor now explaining why we must not send $8B in bombs and other offensive weapons to the Netanyahu government as it continues to block all humanitarian aid to Gaza and works with Trump on his despicable plan to push 2 million Palestinians out of Gaza:

Erdoğan arrested his political rival and locked up thousands of protestors — and the Trump Administration just shrugged it off. Meanwhile, Trump is disappearing a Turkish Fulbright student and others for exercising free speech rights. Birds of a feather flock together.

Remember when Elon Musk "accidentally" canceled Ebola prevention programs? That was pretty bad, but then he said those programs had been restored. Good news, right?   Wrong.   Turns out that was a bold-faced lie — Ebola prevention was never restored. Watch⬇️

Let's be clear: Donald Trump's plan for big, across-the-board tariffs will raise prices for working people. This isn't "Liberation Day" — it's National Sales Tax Day. I'm on the Senate floor now to fight this sham. Tune in:

There's a reason Trump didn't announce his disastrous tariffs yesterday: people would've thought it was an April Fool's joke. Unfortunately, this is no joke. Trump's plan will raise prices and hurt working people.

Today is National Sales Tax Day — the day Trump plans to implement big, across-the-board tariffs. It’s not a happy holiday for working people. As just one example, watch my exchange with a housing expert on how these types of tariffs would cause a big jump in housing prices⬇️

Yesterday the Trump administration admitted they deported a Maryland dad to El Salvador due to an "administrative error". That doesn't just speak to their raging incompetence — it shows their total disregard for due process and basic rights:

My friend @booker.senate.gov just made history — but that’s not why he’s doing this. He’s doing it because he knows there can be no business as usual when our democracy and our country are under attack by the lawless Musk-Trump administration. Proud to be with him in this fight.

Today, Trump, Musk and RFK Jr. started their mass layoffs at HHS. One FDA employee called it a 'bloodbath'. Whatever you want to call it, here's what it means: more people will die. We're fighting this assault on public health with everything we've got.

There can be no business as usual. I'm joining @booker.senate.gov and our colleagues in holding the floor to protest the Musk-Trump administration's lawlessness and their attacks on our democracy. Tune in:

We're seeing in real time the terrible consequences of Musk & Trump's dismantling of USAID. A devastating earthquake has killed thousands — and many more will die without vital U.S. aid. The AID officials in charge had just gotten their termination letters. America in retreat.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme." Another billionaire in the cabinet said only "fraudsters" would complain about missing Social Security checks. Tell that to the 73 million Americans who rely on the Social Security they earned from a lifetime of hard work.

🚨Last night Donald Trump signed another illegal executive order, this time taking a chainsaw to unions and collective bargaining — the backbone of our workforce. We will fight this illegal and outrageous assault on unions.

The real lunatic here is Marco Rubio trampling over people’s First Amendment rights. It is shameful that an individual who says his family was the victim of an authoritarian regime would send hooded agents to disappear people because of controversial speech.

The Trump-Musk Administration's reckless, politically motivated attempts to relocate federal agencies will waste taxpayer dollars and hurt those agencies' ability to deliver vital services for the American people. @repsuhas.bsky.social and I are introducing a bill to fight this sham:

Trump said his 2017 billionaire tax cuts would pay for themselves and benefit working people. It was a lie. Today we're releasing a report that shows just how much that scam benefited Big Pharma and corporations at the expense of everyone else. Tune in:

Today we learned that RFK Jr. is cutting thousands of jobs at HHS — the department responsible for keeping Americans healthy and safe. They say this is about making America healthy again, but they know damn well this does the exact opposite. They are putting lives in danger.

Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz are responsible for an egregious mishandling of classified information that put our troops in danger — and they've refused to acknowledge the gravity of this breach.   They need to be fired or do the right thing and resign. Now.

The Musk-Trump administration has been attacking the NIH from Day 1 — disrupting operations while slashing lifesaving medical research. We've even heard DOGE was there TODAY, sowing more fear and chaos. They are compromising our public health and putting American lives in danger.

A massive, jaw-dropping screwup with major national security implications — and they lied about it repeatedly. These people cannot be trusted with critical matters of national security and defense.

Senate Republicans are trying to overturn a rule that stops big banks from charging outrageous overdraft fees that boost their profits while hurting working Americans. I'm live on the Senate floor to oppose this and their assault on the CFPB:

Ghost guns are untraceable weapons that people order online and assemble at home. They are often the guns of choice for criminals. Glad the Supreme Court upheld this common-sense rule that will help keep our communities safe.

The Speaker is already complicit in trying to shred Article I of the Constitution. We will not allow him to shred Article III. That is a short road to tyranny.

Let's be clear: Republicans may not have cut Social Security yet, but Elon Musk is already gutting the agency — tearing it apart and making it harder to access benefits.    Forget their fake promises: one way or another they're coming for Social Security.

From the Eastern Shore to Mountain Maryland and everywhere in between, there's no place like our great state. Happy Maryland Day!
