Senate Republicans have handed Trump an excuse on a silver platter to keep up his pervasive, breathtaking corruption. If you want to wipe out corruption, you can’t have the president’s personal attorney as the Attorney General. You don’t need a PhD in political science to know that.

It was a grave mistake for the Senate to approve Todd Blanche as the next Attorney General. If there is ever a moment in history when we need an Attorney General above reproach, who is dedicated to ending corruption, it is right now.

It is 330 am and good news for hemp farmers, brewers, small businesses & customers! On a 61-32 vote the Senate just defeated an effort to strip my provision that would delay the hemp ban. This gives Congress more time to find a solution, like the sensible safety rules in MN.

The Trump Admin's proposed changes to Head Start is just the latest in their attempt to effectively end this critical program as we know it.

President Trump and RFK are continuing to threaten our children’s health by spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories. Vaccines do not cause autism. Efforts to undermine childhood vaccine policies are dangerous. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

It’s important to note that DOJ under Todd Blanche is still NOT complying with the Epstein Files Law. And DOJ continues to avoid releasing key facts about Trump Admin’s preferential treatment toward convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell. I will continue pressing to make these docs public.

Earlier this year, Trump told the country he wants to “drive housing prices up." Now, thanks to his illegal Iran war everything from raw materials to mortgages are more expensive. He is pricing generations of Americans out of the American Dream, and he doesn't give a damn.

January 2026: SoftBank donates $50 MILLION to Trump's library. March 2026: Trump announces a huge land deal for SoftBank's data center in Ohio. SoftBank is building what could be the LARGEST data center in America. More Trump corruption as costs increase for you.

In February, RI was buried until a historic pile of snow. Damage far exceeded the limit for federal disaster aid. But Pres. Trump denied RI’s request out of pettiness & partisanship. I’m fighting to make it right.

Invest in kids, not war. Trump wants to shred Head Start health & safety standards. He says fewer standards mean we MIGHT be able to enroll more kids. Actually, we can maintain standards AND open more slots by simply funding Head Start instead of a war with Iran.

We just introduced a resolution to put a stop to President Trump’s illegal war with Iran. American lives have been lost. Gas and fertilizer prices have skyrocketed. Our military stockpiles drained. End this war. NOW.

Blanket sanctions on North Korea hurt civilians who lack access to essential services and lifesaving care. U.S. sanctions on North Korea should target the oppressive Kim regime and we must make it easier for non-governmental organizations to provide basic needs to North Koreans.

Parents already have enough to worry about. Paying more for backpacks and notebooks because of Trump's tariffs shouldn't be one of them. My Back-to-School Supplies Affordability Act would exempt essential school supplies from Trump's tariffs and help lower costs for families.

Equipping ICE officers with body cameras is supposed to provide transparency and accountability. If footage is only released when it’s “in the best interests of the agency,” it’s not doing either.

Trump thinks the White House is his to do with as he pleases, but as the courts have said, it belongs to the American people & they must get a say in any changes. If Trump is so confident in the need for his gold-plated ballroom, why won't he put it up for a vote in the Congress?

The Supreme Court turned back Trump’s racist attack on birthright citizenship, but now he’s trying to sidestep that ruling with two hateful executive orders. It won’t work. We must stand with immigrant communities to protect equality and justice for all.

Right now, Republicans are debating whether we will vote on another budget bill that would allow for BILLIONS more in war spending and even more health care cuts. Trump wants endless money for war, but not a cent for health care or housing.

Steward Health Care was an example—not the exception. When private equity is unchecked and greedy CEOs like Ralph de la Torre evade consequences, people die. We must pass my Health Over Wealth Act to get private equity out of healthcare. People across our country deserve better.

Our Russia sanctions bill sends a clear message to Moscow that America stands firmly with Ukraine, and that Putin is fighting a losing battle. Putin’s ambitions beyond Ukraine are obvious—and we will keep fighting for as long as it takes to defeat him.
