75 years ago yesterday, Barbara Johns led hundreds of students in a walkout protesting racial discrimination in Farmville. Her brave actions contributed to the outlawing of school segregation nationwide in Brown v. Board of Ed. I'm glad a statue in the Capitol now honors her legacy.

Anyone who believes Donald Trump’s corrupt scheme to take over the Fed is over is fooling themselves.

This 5 year old girl lost her father in the Key Bridge collapse & now ICE is deporting her mother. Trump’s ICE operation is going after the weakest, not the worst. This is the kind of inhumanity we must end.

Guess who’s missing that market surge as Trump hobbles American EV progress? Trump is sending China an engraved invitation to stomp our domestic companies, all for his corrupt fossil fuel donors.

Trump's war of choice in Iran could end tomorrow, and according to the White House, oil tankers still wouldn't be able to go through the Strait of Hormuz until November. Food and gas prices will stay high for months. Why is Trump trying to hide that truth from Americans?

Schoolyards should be so much more than concrete or blacktop. That’s why I’m reintroducing my Revitalizing America’s Schoolyards Act. I want to help schools in New Mexico and across the country turn their schoolyards into greener, more enriching outdoor spaces like this one.

Community colleges deliver affordable education for students across the Bay State and around the country. I’m proud that my resolution designating April as Community College Month cleared the Senate, recognizing the contributions of community college students, educators & staff.

Trump's promise to "end inflation" was total BS. New reporting shows Americans have spent over $2,300 MORE on groceries, housing and energy costs due to needless inflation under Trump. $2,300 MORE. Because of his illegal tariffs, unauthorized war and terrible economic policies.

Donald Trump and Republicans gifted Meta BILLIONS in tax breaks last year. Meta reported record profits — then turned around and laid off thousands of workers. Giant corporate tax handouts don't "trickle down."

This is the real Trump Effect. Higher prices, energy uncertainty, and another endless war.

Like millions of American families, I’ve seen firsthand how unaffordable lifesaving insulin can be. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would work to solve this crisis—capping insulin prices to ensure everyone can afford the medication they need.

Donald Trump’s attacks on Social Security have made it harder for Americans to get their benefits. We launched our Social Security War Room a year ago to fight back and stop Trump's damage — and that’s exactly what we’ve done. I'll keep fighting to protect Social Security.

President Trump is using the federal government to go after his enemies. And if they can do that to a Senator imagine what they can do to a local clerk or a mom who goes viral on TikTok. The intimidation is the point, and it's right out of an authoritarian playbook.

Congress needs to make it clear that no public official or other person with insider information can use it to profit off bets in prediction markets. My bill would ban contracts tied to war, assassination, terrorism, and death. 🧵

Trump wants to eliminate an anti-poverty program helping 600,000 people in Massachusetts with career development, early childhood education, and housing every year. Nationwide, it costs just 0.0005% of what Trump wants to spend on his bloated “Department of War.”

Democrats had very simple asks for ICE reforms: No more masks, enforced code of conduct, end mass targeting. Republicans refused. Instead of negotiating, they started the process of jamming through $70 billion in ICE funding without a single Democratic vote. I voted no.

It's Day 55 of Trump's reckless war with Iran. People in this country can't afford health care. They can't afford housing. They can't afford gas. Every day that Trump refuses to end this war costs billions of dollars that working families in the U.S. need.

Yesterday, journalist Amal Khalil was struck by an IDF airstrike while she was reporting in southern Lebanon. As rescuers tried to save her life, they were fired upon. Khalil is the 9th journalist killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon this year. [1/2]

Public defenders uphold our nation’s promise that everyone, no matter their income, can access legal services. That’s why I’m urging my colleagues to fully fund the federal public defenders program in the next budget. https://bit.ly/42oAnOT

Childcare costs are crushing families around the country. The average family spends more on childcare than rent, but Trump just walked away from his promise to fix it and told states to raise taxes instead. There’s always money for what Trump wants, but not for helping you.

Last year, Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid & the ACA by $1 TRILLION under the guise of "fighting fraud." Yet Trump has issued 15 pardons to healthcare execs & others who defrauded $2 BILLION from taxpayers. Kicking millions off their care while actual fraudsters get off free.

The president calls affordability a hoax. Over 90% of Americans call it a crisis. Trump’s tariffs, health care cuts, and unwanted war have created a cost-of-living emergency. Across this country, working families are struggling to make ends meet. We won't stop fighting for you.

Buying a home is out of reach for far too many Nevadans, and it doesn’t have to be this way. I’m working to address the housing crisis by making it easier to build more housing that families can afford and cracking down on bad actor corporate investors who buy up housing and jack up costs.

Yesterday I got RFK Jr. to publicly admit that vaccines are safe and vital to protecting children’s health. This new-found position comes after years of anti-vaccine rhetoric.

Iranians residing in the U.S. who can't return home safely must be protected—not forcibly removed. Trump’s war and Iran's already dire human rights crisis make it unsafe for Iranians abroad to go home. The admin must shield Iranians in our communities and pause deportations while the war continues.

There are plenty of nations impacted by Trump's war in Iran who we're closer to than the UAE, and plenty of countries who've been hit harder. So why—other than massive financial ties to Trump's family businesses—are we considering using your tax dollars to bail out the Emiratis?

Early this morning, Republicans used their Senate majority to force through a budget bill that gives $70 billion to ICE. Instead of focusing on lowering costs, they’re pouring taxpayer dollars into an agency that has brutalized, dehumanized, and killed Americans in our streets.

Gas prices in New Mexico are up 35% since the start of Trump’s illegal war with Iran. That’s nearly $4 a gallon. Hardworking families did not ask for this war, and they certainly did not vote for fuel prices to skyrocket.
