Today, I met with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago to discuss federal reimbursement for MWRD’s work on the Thornton Reservoir. I will continue to push for this reimbursement and to offer the resources MWRD needs to keep our state’s water infrastructure up and running.

While Trump is focused on Iran, Greenland and Venezuela, his tariffs and de facto moratorium on renewable energy permits are raising the cost of housing, groceries, and energy.

Women deserve the right to make their own reproductive health care decisions. Mifepristone is a safe, effective, and FDA-approved medication. We’ll always fight for mifepristone to remain legal and accessible so women can get the care they need.

Outrageous. The Trump administration terminated $2 billion in mental health and addiction prevention grants. Communities nationwide will lose critical services for people in crisis. The Administration must reverse course, immediately – lives are on the line. www.npr.org/2026/01/14/n...

We're all feeling the chaos of this administration, and it's time to bring in leaders who can stand up to Trump and bring down costs for working people. Let's get it done.

Trump & RFK Jr. just ripped away billions to help communities tackle the fentanyl crisis & get mental health care. So much for Make America Healthy Again & saving Americans from addiction. Republicans need to join me in demanding this gets reversed.

I’m always ready to engage in oversight. I could ask many questions of a Trump official responsible for vetting immigrants. Why won’t Republicans call one?

This is about scaring anyone who would report on things the Trump administration wants to keep secret. Intimidating a free press is a hallmark of authoritarians.

With the ACA tax credits gone, many Americans are seeing the soaring cost of health insurance and are choosing to opt out entirely. That harms our health care system. Democrats have been clear - Republicans in Congress and the White House must join us and act.

Trump said he'd bring down prices on day one. But now he's too busy passing tax breaks for billionaires, governing Venezuela, and plotting to invade Greenland. Working Americans are facing skyrocketing costs and Trump is making it worse — not better.

Erfan Soltani; remember that name. He is at risk of being executed by the Iranian regime. He didn’t engage in violence; he only sought the same freedoms any of our families would want. The Iranian regime has shown it will do anything to silence its people and keep power. 1/2

I just brought legislation to the Senate floor to restore ACA tax credits for 3 years. This legislation passed the House with bipartisan support. Senate Republicans said NO, ensuring health care costs continue to spike for millions of Americans. We are not going to stop fighting.

NEWS: @schumer.senate.gov just attempted to pass a bill that would extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits and prevent insurance prices from doubling for 22 million Americans. Even though this bill passed the House with 17 Republican votes, Senate Republicans still blocked it.

Delighted by the House’s bipartisan vote this week to renew and extend the African Growth and Opportunity Act. The Senate should quickly join them to strengthen the cornerstone of U.S.-Africa trade and reinvest in our partnerships on the continent.

We pledge an oath to a Constitution that says war can't be initiated without a vote of Congress. How can we allow this President—or any President—to single-handedly make decisions about deploying our military against other nations? It's reckless.

American companies like Nvidia should prioritize U.S. customers over Chinese tech giants - this policy was core to my GAIN AI Act with Senator Banks. If the Trump Admin implements this rule in good faith, it will not approve a single H200 license to China. I will be watching.

Don’t let them distract you. Trump promised lower costs – we just saw the highest grocery inflation in years. He doesn’t care about your costs.

There are allies on this list. Trump's obsession with playing the big, tough strongman is weakening our relationships abroad—and putting all Americans at risk.

Banning immigrants from 75 countries to the United States is unjustified, misguided, and just plain cruel. This reckless policy is not rooted in security—it is rooted in rejection and hate. @MarcoRubio must reverse course and resume visa processing.

I'm really tired of Republicans claiming they care about "protecting women" when all they mean is taking away women’s ability to make decisions about their own bodies.

The resignations of Joe Thompson and 5 other seasoned prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office in MN mark a significant setback for our state and public safety. They took on fraud, shooting investigations & so much more. Justice must remain free from political interference.

Our nation is in a housing crisis. Instead of working to bring down housing costs, the Trump Administration is dismantling civil rights protections and abandoning Americans facing housing discrimination. Democrats are fighting back.

Senate Republicans have once again moved to increase health care costs. Extending ACA tax credits will immediately help millions of Americans afford their coverage. Instead, Republicans would rather do nothing to lower your costs.

I’ve already heard from families across New Hampshire about how unaffordable health care has become since the expiration of the ACA tax credits. One of my constituents from New Boston, Darla, will see her family’s premiums spike by $15,000 a year. Watch below ⬇️

If you need any more proof of who this Admin serves, look no further. The EPA will no longer consider harm to HUMAN LIFE when setting air pollution limits. What will they consider? The bottom lines of the CEOs of the biggest polluters. A headline from The Onion come to life.

With just about one day left to enroll in health care coverage through the ACA, 1.4 million Americans have already lost health care coverage due to the surging cost of premiums. We must keep working to find a bipartisan solution that will lower health care costs for families.

Instead of working to lower costs, Senate Republicans are using one of the first committee hearings of 2026 to push for a nationwide medication abortion ban, despite mifepristone’s safety and efficacy. We should be delivering for Americans, not rolling back women’s rights.

Anti-abortion extremists are trying to weaponize the EPA against women by saying that medication abortion is POISONING THE WATER SUPPLY and that people are "drinking each other's abortions." Here's what Republicans' star witness had to say. This is just insane.

Regardless of whether she’s the target of an investigation, this morning’s raid on a WaPo reporter’s home sends a chilling message to journalists trying to do reporting in the national interest. Every American should stand up against this clear assault on the First Amendment & freedom of the press.

The Trump Administration is weaponizing government to intimidate people who disagree with Trump. Senator Slotkin's service to this country and Michiganders speaks for itself. I'm proud that she speaks truth to power.

President Trump’s war on drugs will take more than a new President in Venezuela. Last night’s termination of addiction treatment is a step backwards that will cost lives. His cuts show this Admin is more interested in building White House ballrooms than life-saving clinics.

The administration is sending 1,000 more ICE agents to Minnesota. That's over 3,000 federal agents flooding our streets, almost triple the combined police forces of Minneapolis and St. Paul. ICE is sowing chaos in our communities. They need to get off our streets immediately.

@schumer.senate.gov just attempted to again pass BIPARTISAN, House-passed legislation to extend ACA tax credits and lower costs for millions – Senate Republicans blocked it. They are purposefully spiking costs for MILLIONS of Americans. But we will stay in the fight.
