Donald Trump is insisting Nevadans are living through “the greatest economy we’ve ever had by far.” Has he seen the prices of health care, gas, groceries, and rent? His speech yesterday once again made clear that he has no real plan to lower Nevadans’ costs. He’s only making life harder.

Pete Hegseth is a well-known misogynist. He's publicly said women are unfit for combat roles. He denies well-deserved promotions to women in the military. He uplifted a Christian Nationalist pastor who says that women shouldn't be able to vote. He should resign in disgrace.

61 years ago, the Voting Rights Act became law thanks to the hard work and perseverance of civil rights activists. This year, Trump’s Supreme Court gutted it. They are playing with the blood of our ancestors. Honor their legacy. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

61 years ago today , we passed the Voting Rights Act, a sacred law written from the sacrifice of Americans who fought and died for the right to vote and for racial justice. It’s under attack as Trump, Republicans, and a MAGA Court try to usher in Jim Crow 2.0.

It is both ridiculous and unsurprising that this administration continues to slow-walk New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes at Zorro Ranch, and @nmdoj.bsky.social is right for suing DOJ. Survivors deserve accountability. Not more delays, obstruction, or excuses.

No parent should have to choose between irreplaceable time with their newborn & a paycheck. I'm fighting to establish a grant program for states to provide at least six weeks of paid leave for family, medical, or caregiving reasons.

Water authorities are facing unprecedented cyber threats, and we can’t hang them out to dry. My Water Intelligence, Security, and Cyber Threat Protection Act was included in the bipartisan WRDA bill. Congress must pass this bill to help utilities secure our water supply.

Today is the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which protected voting rights for marginalized communities, including racial, ethnic, and language minorities. We must continue to put measures in place to protect our rights and make it easier, not harder, to vote.

Our elections are safe and secure — that’s the top line. But as President Trump continues to cast doubt on our elections, we need to be prepared. I’ve been working through scenarios to ensure we have the tools to protect our democratic process.

When Todd Blanche says the DOJ slush fund for election criminals like Tina Peters isn't moving forward, we should not believe him. His word is worth about as much as the Trump Meme Coin. I will vote no on his nomination for Attorney General.

Always good to spend time with Minnesota Farmers Union President Gary Wertish and Vice President Anne Schwagerl. I'm grateful for their partnership and commitment to strengthening agriculture and rural communities across our state.

Today, the Senate received a briefing on the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Sudan. Here's the bottom line: We can & must do more to stop this. This war has already killed over 150,000 people & displaced over 14 MILLION. We must act NOW.

Today, I cast my vote against Trump’s nominee for CDC Director. As long as RFK Jr. is at the helm, any CDC Director will a rubber stamp on his dangerous, anti-science agenda. Enough of the Make America Sick Agenda—RFK must go.

This is the FULL story of the Trump-Blanche MAGA slush fund. (Hint: The final “agreement” couldn’t pass law school Contracts 101.)

It’s not Farmfest without a pork chop on-a-stick. Great to spend some time with Minnesota Farm Bureau President Dan Glessing! The weather was great but the pork chops were even better.

As costs rise, essential home modifications shouldn't be out of reach. My bill with @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social would create a tax credit to help seniors afford upgrades like ramps, handrails, and wider doorways, so more older Americans can safely age in place.

When even Trump thinks Big Oil is “making too much money” off American consumers, you know it’s reached barf-worthy levels of excess profit.

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.

1% of the country owns more wealth than the middle class. Why? Because Washington spent decades fighting for the rich instead of working families, and Trump has taken it to a new level. November is our chance to elect leaders who actually give a shit about working people.

With child care costs sky-high, Head Start is a lifeline for families who otherwise couldn't find quality, affordable care. It's outrageous that the Administration continues to attack this successful program that fills an enormous need in our communities. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/u...

Donald Trump passed the largest cut to Medicaid in our country's history and let the health insurance premium tax credits expire. If Republicans won’t extend the tax credits, I’ll do it on the state level. Minnesotans need lower health care costs and they need them now.

Colleagues on both sides of the aisle came together to discuss how we can make our communities more resilient to extreme weather and improve the disaster recovery process. Regardless of our politics, I believe we can find common ground on protecting all Americans.

Todd Blanche is not qualified to be AG. He’s shown time and time again that his loyalty is to Trump alone – not promoting justice for all Americans. I will be voting NO.

It’s no surprise that a President who peddled ‘Trump University’ would side with predatory for-profit colleges. Finally—after years of Trump Administration stonewalling—this court ruling is delivering justice to the hundreds of thousands of students who were left in the lurch.

Spent the weekend in Ohio, and it was packed house after packed house for @sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social. Veterans, union members, and folks across Ohio are all fired up to vote for him in November. These folks know they can count on Sherrod because he’s always had their back.

Americans can’t fuel their cars on wishful thinking and Trump’s empty promises @democrats.senate.gov have forced 13 votes on Iran War Powers Resolutions to end Trump’s war And we’ll keep fighting for as long as it takes to bring our troops home, lower costs, and end this illegal, unnecessary war

It’s been 166 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & big corporations are getting their refunds. $2.2 BILLION for Apple, $600 MILLION for Amazon, $300 million for Nike. When are American families going to see the $1,700 they're owed? Return the money, NOW.

Todd Blanche’s Department of Justice continues to let criminals off the hook so long as they’re loyal to Donald Trump. Trump already gave insurrectionists clemency, now he’s wiping their records clean. It doesn’t get more un-American than this.
