The DOJ withdrew its subpoenas to @nytimes.com reporters. At his confirmation hearing, I challenged Jay Clayton about whether these subpoenas respected the First Amendment and followed DOJ policy.

Ten years later, sweaty and slurring, he's still promising a health care plan he's never delivered on. Instead, Americans got the highest health care costs ever and hospitals laying off staff or shutting down entirely. All thanks to Trump's health care sabotage & Medicaid cuts.

Chinese cars are driving surveillance collectors for the Chinese Communist Party—full-motion video, 3D mapping and geolocation. As a former CIA officer, I can't in good faith say they should be sold in the United States.
- ES
Democrats and Republicans disagree on a lot of serious things. But on banning Chinese cars, we're aligned. The Connected Vehicle Security Act is about protecting our national security and our economic security.

Walking into the hospital shouldn’t be like walking into a casino–a complete gamble. Patients and employers should know how much they’re paying upfront with no trickery or games. Let’s pass our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act into law!

Fair housing laws only work when local organizations can investigate violations and enforce laws. I’m proud of the Mass. Fair Housing Center for standing against Trump’s cruel attacks on fair housing groups. Housing is a human right. Everyone deserves to find a home without fear of discrimination.

Trump wants Congress to bankroll his illegal war with Iran with a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget. I voted no. Not a dime more for endless war. It's time to put people before the Pentagon. youtube.com/shorts/eec81...

I love connecting with New Jerseyans at the Capitol and yesterday's Rutgers summer reception for students, internship supervisors, and alumni was no exception! It's always a joy to hear how NJ students are spending their summers and what they're setting out to achieve.

For 146 days, Trump & Republicans have told us, against all evidence, that the next strike, the next week, the next month will bring victory in Iran. That kind of logic is how forever wars begin. When you're digging yourself into a hole, the best way out is to stop digging.

Almost 150 days have passed since the Iran War began. We haven’t achieved a single one of this administration’s goals, and costs go up by the day.

Spending billions more on a war that the American people don't want and Congress didn’t approve is a terrible mistake. This war of choice must end, and our troops must be brought home.

While House Republicans provided enough support to pass another resolution to end the Iran war, Senate Republicans did not. Tragically, this war has led to economic instability, driven up prices for millions of Americans, and resulted in the deaths of 18 of our servicemembers.

President Trump asked Americans to accept another war. Now he owes them the truth about what it costs. The bill isn’t just $37.5 billion—it could be closer to $200 billion. Show your math. You got us into this war. Explain to the American people what the cost is and don't fudge the figures.

We’ve now voted a DOZEN TIMES to end Trump’s illegal war that’s costing American lives. The American people are sick and tired of it. We need to bring our troops home safely and start bringing down costs for Americans. END THE WAR NOW!

Congress voted in a bipartisan, bicameral way to end this war. The President won’t end it. Prices continue to rise, and more American servicemembers have died. I’ve heard colleagues across the aisle say they’re praying for an end to this war. I urge them to vote for that too.

The call is coming from inside the (White) House. Trump knows who is actually guilty of trying to influence our elections… but he’d rather sling accusations elsewhere to justify his interference in the midterms.

As health care prices soar, millions of Americans are forced to choose between affording life-saving insulin or paying for rent or groceries. No one should have to make that choice. By capping insulin at $35 per month, my INSULIN Act ensures that’s the case.

I was in Troy on Monday calling on Republicans to keep hungry families fed and work with Democrats to delay the upcoming SNAP cost shift. Food banks alone can’t fill the gap left by Republicans’ SNAP cuts. We must listen to our local food bank leaders: www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Trump broke his promise of free IVF. He doesn't care if veterans can build a family. The Texas GOP just made BANNING IVF a part of their official party platform. These extremists are gaining traction, and we can't be silent. Democrats are fighting back to protect IVF.

We are in the fifth month of Trump’s war of choice with Iran, yet Senate Republicans are continuing to give him a blank check to put American service members’ lives at risk. Their refusal to exercise their constitutional duty only emboldens the President’s worst impulses.

I've long fought to ban congressional stock trading, but the House Republican-passed bill has MAJOR LOOPHOLES. Lawmakers can continue owning and selling stocks - so it won't solve the problem. Not gonna fly in the Senate. Members of Congress should not own, buy, or sell stocks.
