Every time I think that this administration can’t get any more hostile to public lands, they outdo themselves. Now they want to shut down regional offices for the U.S. Forest Service and reorganize how we fight fires – just as we’re heading into fire season.

I recently secured $664,000 in federal funding to help Vermonters in Lamoille County prepare for floods in the future. I visited with local leaders to learn more about the tools being funded to better protect Vermonters from the next flood.

Mail delays are making it harder for Wisconsinites to stay in touch with loved ones, pay their bills, receive medications, and cast their votes. USPS needs to find a solution, and fast.

Bombs are still flying. The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. Americans are still being crushed by the cost of this war. What exactly are the details of Trump’s truce?

Yesterday, Israeli strikes across Lebanon killed 250+ people even as Pakistan said the ceasefire it brokered includes Lebanon. Netanyahu urged Trump to start this war, now Trump must demand he help end it. Who's calling the shots here?

Trump’s actions have already cost us tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, left our international credibility in shreds, and left thirteen servicemembers dead with hundreds more wounded. America is poorer, weaker, and less respected thanks to Trump’s war of choice.

Yesterday, I joined local partners to celebrate a new project in Floyd to extend public utilities to an undeveloped area, which will be used for affordable workforce housing. I’m glad to have helped secure $1.5 million in funding to help make this project possible.

Saddened to hear of the passing of MLB legend & RI native Davey Lopes. From his days as a 4-time MVP stealing bases w/ the Dodgers to coaching a host of teams, Davey was a great guy on & off the field. Check out this heartfelt tribute by ProJo’s Joe McDonald:

When it comes to housing, we can't just focus on one piece of the puzzle. We need housing at every level. For the person trying to buy their first home, for someone looking for an apartment, for families using a Section 8 voucher. All of it.

There’s no such thing as “birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.” The U.S. Constitution is abundantly clear that if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. Trying to take away citizenship from Americans is not only extreme, but also unconstitutional.

A strong workforce pipeline in the maritime trades is critical to both America’s national security and Michigan’s economy. I’m proud that my CADETS Act is helping students, like those serving at our Great Lakes Maritime Academy in Northern Michigan, afford their education and land in-demand jobs.

Last year, we passed my major bipartisan legislation with Sen. Ted Cruz to take on the brutal sharing of nonconsensual sexual images, real or deepfake. Tragically, a number of kids committed suicide over the sharing of these.

It’s been over a year since Trump’s illegal tariffs stole money from small businesses and your wallet. And now, his actions abroad are only making life more expensive for Coloradans. You deserve a full refund. www.denverpost.com/2026/04/07/c...

This Administration is requesting $1.5 trillion for the Department of Defense while cutting health care, education, and other services Americans rely on. Working families are being told there’s no money for what they need, but there’s always money for what Trump wants.

Democrats know that Medicaid is one of the clearest ways we live out the belief that health care should not depend on how much money you have. So why did Republicans gut Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy?

Can’t trust a word they say. They’re lying about what they’re doing in Minnesota and across the country. This is exactly why I’m not voting for a single penny for ICE or CBP without massive, agency-wide changes.

Trump wants to give the Pentagon more money than it can spend while cutting programs that help American families here at home. Well Trump doesn't get to decide—Congress does. And I'm throwing his budget in the trash.

The United States is $39 trillion in debt. Yet President Trump plans the largest increase in defense spending since the Korean War, adding another $6.9 trillion over the next 10 years, including funding for his dubious war with Iran.

No family should pay over $150 a week for the insulin they need to survive. No patient should have to move across the country to be able to afford their medication. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would cap insulin prices at no more than $35 a month. Let's get this done!

For a ceasefire deal to be viable, it must cover the full scope of this regional conflict, including Lebanon. The U.S. negotiators should help prevent further loss of civilian life by sitting down with all parties, be transparent about the deal and how to bring the war to a reasonable end.
