These numbers reflect the lived experiences of so many families I hear from in New Jersey. Trump promised to lower costs, but we're seeing things like gas, flights, and technology get more expensive as a result of his reckless war in Iran. Americans have had enough.

It was wonderful to sit down with the interns in my Jersey City office to talk about their experiences supporting and engaging with New Jerseyans. Thank you for all of your hard work this summer and commitment to shaping the next generation of public service!

No child can learn on an empty stomach, and no parent should have to skip dinner so their children can eat. Food assistance programs help families put food on the table when times are hard. Protecting it is both the compassionate and responsible thing to do.

As inflation continues to spiral out of control and gas prices remain well above $4, this is how Donald Trump is spending your taxpayer dollars. $900 million for a gilded ballroom at the White House. $0 to lower your costs. The Trump White House in a nutshell.

It’s been nine years since white supremacist violence in Charlottesville tragically took the lives of Heather Heyer, Lt. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke Bates. We can and must honor Heather, Jay, and Berke’s legacies by continuing to stand against violence and hate.

One of the best jobs I ever had was working at a bookstore while I was a student at Georgetown. It helped put me through school & cemented my lifelong love of reading. Pleased to visit Bernie's Book Bank to discuss their incredible work providing books to the children who need them most.

Fun fact about the new Gordie Howe International Bridge: You can walk or bike across it. Definitely worth checking out. Just don't forget your passport.

No one should have to make impossible choices between putting gas in the tank, filling a prescription, or putting food on the table. But folks are stretched to the limit because of the Republican Big, Ugly Betrayal bill. I’m fighting for the foundations families need to thrive.

Trump is making it easier for cartels, criminals, and U.S. adversaries to abuse our financial system and harm Americans. Why? Because he’s in the pocket of billionaires like Elon Musk who’d potentially benefit from his shady and corrupt actions.

When we say ICE agents need to wear body cameras, it’s not so ICE can make itself look good – body cameras are a way to hold ICE accountable. ICE is saying the quiet part out loud by admitting they’ll only release body camera video when it’s in ICE’s “best interests.”

After Trump's handpicked US Attorney for DC, Jeanine Pirro, dropped charges against David Hearn, Trump is now asking the DOJ to continue this shameless prosecution of him. Americans should not be threatened with jail time to placate Trump's fragile ego. This is the stuff of dictators.

The White House decided there was a threat so great that Donald Trump was secretly moved to another plane but they never told the passengers on Air Force One. Cowards look out for themselves. Leaders look out for their people.

While Governor of Colorado, we implemented commonsense gun laws. We brought that momentum to Congress where we passed the first major federal gun safety law in nearly 30 years. Gabby Giffords and I refuse to let Trump bully our communities into reversing gun safety laws that keep our kids safe.

America lost 23,000 jobs in July. Trump promised a golden age. Instead, his reckless tariffs and illegal war in Iran are killing jobs, driving up costs and hammering middle-class families. The Trump economy is failing the American people. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/08...

The ballot box is the beating heart of democracy. The Republican SAVE Act is a voter suppression bill, pure and simple. I’m a HELL NO on this blatant attempt to keep eligible voters – including students, Tribal members, and the less affluent – from voting.

The American people aren’t asking for golden ballrooms. They want affordable health care, a good education for their kids, and a home they can afford. They deserve a President focused on their dreams, not his own.

Today, I met with Waukegan small business owners to discuss how the second Trump Administration has undermined their operations. Whether through “Operation Midway Blitz,” tariffs, or federal funding cuts, the Admin has made it harder for small businesses in Illinois, and America, to get by.

The Senate should be immediately briefed on the Iranian threats against the President, the extraordinary measures taken to get him out of Turkey, any risks posed to U.S. personnel, and any threat to the homeland.

We're facing real outbreaks. Cyclospora, Ebola, measles, screwworm, and more. HHS should be led by science and guided by the doctors and researchers who've spent their careers keeping Americans safe. Instead it's run by a man chasing conspiracy theories.

The Trump administration is doing everything it can to make our elections less safe and less secure: pushing large-scale voter roll purges, intimidating state election officials, and repeatedly trying to get their hands on Colorado's voter rolls.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Washington ripped away SNAP benefits from thousands of Nevada families, children, and seniors. In Las Vegas last week, he bragged about it. Just absolutely cruel.

June 28: Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump an 18-karat gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. July 24: European diamonds got their exemption from Trump’s tariffs. I'm investigating what looks like cartoonish corruption.

It’s not just in your head. The average family has spent $2,600 more on essentials since Trump took office. His costly war and disastrous tariffs have created an enormous tax on everything you buy.

Democrats are forcing vote after vote to END the war with Iran, a costly war Trump should have NEVER begun. Republicans are blocking us at every turn right now. But the American people can force a change with their voice and their vote.

A federal court ruled that Trump can’t build his $400 million White House ballroom without Congress’s approval. He’s vowing to appeal to the Supreme Court. Instead of lowering costs for American families, this is what he’s focused on. apnews.com/article/trum...

An inspector general is supposed to root out fraud, malfeasance, and corruption in executive branch agencies. So maybe an advisor who worked for an agency head and told an intelligence council to rewrite its conclusion to suit the president’s preferred narrative is not the best choice.

While our brave servicemembers are sacrificing to keep us safe, Donald Trump is deporting their families. More than 50 parents and spouses of active duty troops have been detained by Trump's ICE and Border Patrol. We're leading an investigation. This betrayal has to stop.
