In 1991, the average age of a first-time homebuyer was 29. Now, it's 40. Today, the Senate passed the biggest legislative housing package in 30 years to tackle this crisis. It's past time we bring the American dream of buying a home back within reach of the middle class.

Senate Republicans just BLOCKED the bill @padilla.senate.gov and I called up to reopen FEMA today. Then they demanded we vote to give billions more ICE and CBP, without any reforms. None. 🧵

It’s unacceptable that while so many struggle to afford everyday expenses, those at the top still aren’t paying their fair share. That’s why I helped introduce the Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act to deliver real relief to working families.

You shouldn't have to pay the bill for Trump's illegal tariffs. I'm working to get you a refund to make life more affordable.

We need to build more housing & create strong, family-friendly neighborhoods where people can afford to live & put down roots. Today, U.S. Senate voted 89-10 to pass a new housing affordability bill that cuts red tape & increases housing opportunities. A good step forward! 1/2

The attack on the Temple Israel synagogue in Michigan is a terrifying reminder of rising antisemitism across the U.S. People should not have to look over their shoulder in fear anywhere — especially their place of worship.

Republicans have once again blocked funding for cybersecurity personnel, TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard—demanding a blank check for ICE and DHS with no reforms or accountability.

My heart is with the Temple Israel community in Michigan. Every person deserves to pray in peace and safety. I’m relieved the children, staff, and congregants are safe. We must stand with our Jewish neighbors and speak out clearly and forcefully against antisemitism and hate.

Monitoring reports of deadly shooting at Old Dominion University, which is reportedly being investigated as a terrorist attack. As law enforcement investigates, I’m thankful for those who sprung into action & courageously stopped the shooter & assisted others.

Democrats are ready to fund TSA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund CISA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund FEMA. And Coast Guard. Republicans are blocking it.

Trump launched this reckless war “hoping” to change the regime in Iran, “hoping” Iran would not close the Strait of Hormuz, and “hoping” gas prices would not go up. There was no plan. Hope is not a military strategy. This war is a tragic failure.

Grateful for heroism of Temple Israel security & Michigan law enforcement who kept community members safe from an appalling antisemitic attack today. Good citizens across our nation must stand resolute against rising antisemitism, bigotry, & violence.

Horrified by the attack on Temple Israel in Michigan. It is unacceptable that another Jewish community is left traumatized by such blatant antisemitism in America. Everyone should be able to pray in their house of worship without fear.

I am horrified by the violent attack on Temple Israel in Michigan. My heart is with these kids, teachers, and their families — I’m grateful they’re safe. There is no place for antisemitism in America. Everyone has a right to worship in safety. We must stand united against hate.

The American people deserve answers from Trump on his deadly missile strike that hit an Iranian elementary school and killed children. Hegseth has proven time and time again that he is not fit to lead. Trump must put our country first and fire Hegseth.

The Senate just passed the largest federal housing package in over a decade with overwhelming bipartisan support. This bill will build more homes, cut red tape, and modernize housing programs across the country.

In January, I joined 100s of Marylanders in Hagerstown who made clear they did not want an ICE detention facility near their community. While Trump’s lawless ICE operation continues to ignore public sentiment, this is an important ruling. The fight continues.

My heart goes out to Temple Israel in Michigan. I’m relieved the congregants and staff and all the kids at the daycare center are safe and unharmed. It’s tragic how many houses of worship have security guards today and that incidents like this show they’re needed.

My statement with Senator Sanders and Congresswoman Balint on the ICE raids in South Burlington: President Trump’s domestic army, ICE, came into Vermont yesterday from out of state and, as is virtually always the case, acted in an irresponsible, reckless and unprofessional manner. (1/5)

Deeply disturbed by the attack at Temple Israel in Michigan today. No one in this country should have to fear for their safety while practicing their faith. We must stand with our Jewish neighbors and speak out forcefully against antisemitism and hate.

Republicans are willing to let you wait for hours at the airport so immigration agents can continue to terrorize American citizens. It is clear what their priorities are.

I'm heartbroken to see yet another antisemitic attack today at a Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan. I'm grateful for the local law enforcement officers who quickly responded to the scene and I'm praying for the congregation, Jewish community, and all those affected.

The Senate just passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. I worked with colleagues on several of the bills in this bipartisan package to help boost housing supply and make it easier for families to find an affordable place to live. https://youtu.be/Es1IWoMprbA?si=Owf3Xgxvc8pVj1Mt

My heart is with the Temple Israel congregation as we witness another horrifying attack on the Jewish community. Antisemitic hate must have no place in our country. We must condemn it in the strongest terms.

The USPS has quietly been making changes that will have a big impact for people who mail their tax returns and ballots in this consequential election year. I've got questions about how these changes will hurt vote-by-mail states like Oregon this November.

Today’s constituent coffee was extra special because it is also @duckworth.senate.gov's birthday! Tammy is a dear friend and a fierce advocate for Illinoisans. I am grateful to serve alongside her, and I am happy that I could join our constituents to celebrate her birthday today.

We are now a nation at war and Republicans refuse to fund our country's cybersecurity agency. We can fund these separate sections of DHS and continue to hold this administration accountable. Republicans just refuse to do so.

My heart is with the families of the victims of the shooting at Old Dominion University and with the entire ODU community. No student should have to fear for their safety on campus. This violence is unacceptable, and these tragedies must end.

It is both pathetic & dangerous to see Republicans actively stoking a religious war in a country that was founded on the value of religious freedom. Fortunately, the good people of NYC did not fall for this grotesque, bigoted fear mongering against @mayor.nyc.gov.

My thoughts are with the children, families, congregants, staff, & first responders at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield, Michigan. Violence against Jewish communities must be met with zero tolerance. I am grateful to the local officers who responded quickly as we continue to monitor the situation.

Restaurants are the lifeblood of our communities, but they face serious challenges with the steep cost of credit card swipe fees. Today, I spoke with the National Restaurant Association about how my bipartisan Credit Card Competition Act would lower costs for businesses and consumers.

Every American deserves to feel safe in their place of worship. I’m appalled by this attack on a synagogue in Michigan, especially as Jewish communities across our country face increasing threats from antisemitism. There can be no place for violence or hate in our nation.

We’re once again seeing AI-generated content spreading misinformation about elections, this time in Hungary. It’s increasingly clear that AI-generated misinformation is influencing elections here in America and around the world and needs to be reined in. www.reuters.com/world/hungar...
