The U.S. is not and was not founded as a Christian nation. As we approach the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, I’m reminded that to defend our nation and our Constitution is to defend religious freedom.

Tesla wants Americans to believe its so-called Full Self-Driving technology is safer than human drivers. Then it should prove it. @blumenthal.senate.gov and I are calling on NHTSA to demand the data, test Tesla’s claims, and strengthen AV safety data reporting.

What we're witnessing is an extraordinary display of dysfunction from a president who seems determined to turn America's national security into a political bargaining chip.

The Trump administration's newest corruption scheme just dropped. Kash Patel may be using the FBI's budget as his personal slush fund to pay agents tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for carrying out illegal orders, or as hush money to keep quiet about what they witnessed.

11 years ago, a violent act against the faith community took the lives of nine worshippers at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. May God bless their memory. We must continue our fight to end racism and hate in every form.

If spending alone guaranteed security, America would be the safest nation on earth. But the Trump administration has proven that the military industrial complex is not creating real security. Instead of giving out blank checks to defense contractors, we must fund programs that support all Americans.

The Trump administration is funding destabilizing nuclear weapon programs—and their demand every year keeps getting higher. Americans need diplomacy, not destruction. We cannot allow $100 billion for Trump to spend on nuclear Armageddon. www.youtube.com/shorts/mCFBt...

In order to address our country's housing crisis, we need to build more housing. That's why I authored several provisions in the Senate's housing package that would build more affordable housing units, like this one in Newark, across our entire state. 1/2

Happy Caribbean Heritage Month, New Jersey! I had a great time at A Mother's Touch Bistro, talking with Chef Melanie about the generations of home cooking that inspired her to bring Jamaican and Louisiana Creole flavors to Livingston, NJ. Thanks for a delicious meal!

Republicans just sent ICE and Border Patrol ANOTHER $70 billion, while leaving families out in the cold. I'm fighting for a vision of the future where families can thrive, and billionaires pay their fair share.

The housing shortage is raising costs for renters and homebuyers and is nothing less than an existential threat to the American dream. That's why the ROAD to Housing bill is an important first step toward lowering housing costs by putting in place critical new reforms to build more housing.

How much does President Trump’s war in Iran cost? We owe it to the American people to be honest about what the actual cost of this war will be, and what we will have to sacrifice.

Wow. Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund. The U.S. gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke. Hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation.

Even Pentagon officials are wondering how they would spend Trump’s $1.5 trillion blank check. It’s way past due that funding goes to programs that make a sound difference in American’s lives—from food assistance, to education, to healthcare needs. www.youtube.com/shorts/gNbRO...

It is time Republicans stop treating matters of life or death like they are a game. Stop funding Trump’s illegal wars abroad. End the funding of the military occupations of American cities. Slash the Pentagon budget and stop lying to Americans about what their money is actually funding.

Students with disabilities are students first. This illegal change will worsen outcomes & delay civil rights protections. The Dept of Education had decades of expertise helping kids learn according to their unique needs. Walking away from IDEA in its 50th year is plain cruel.

What can we do with $750 billion instead of funding unnecessary wars? Fund high speed rail, cancel out American’s medical debt, finance education programs, and fully fund SNAP. I’m introducing the Slash the Pentagon Act to cap Trump’s bloated Pentagon budget. www.youtube.com/shorts/aT6T0...

Schools are cutting Olympic sports programs & dropping scholarships. We can & should write better rules that put athletes first & keep our institutions strong. That is exactly what the Protect College Sports Act does. Thank you USOPC for voicing support!

Back in February, I asked a Trump nominee about this EXACT possibility & he dodged my questions. Just as I said back then, this whole process is corrupt to its core. Trump's admin is effectively trying to boost his own family's tainted crypto company. Unprecedented corruption.

Republicans jammed a repeal of the Roadless Rule into a bipartisan wildfire bill, putting millions of acres of public lands at risk without public input. I'm joining @heinrich.senate.gov in fighting back. We won't let Republicans sneak this through without a fight. Make your voice heard.

The rules of our economy are written by people who benefit from them. When CEOs make hundreds of times what their workers do and still get a tax cut, that's the result of decades of policy decisions that tilted the playing field. I'm here to fix it.

As one NH business owner put it, “[the cost of] everything is going up.” From implementing reckless tariffs to spiking fuel prices, President Trump’s policies are squeezing our state’s seafood industry—hurting fisherman and small business owners across the state. www.wmur.com/article/new-...

Americans have spent hundreds more to fill up their tank during Trump's war of choice. You paid more while Trump loosened sanctions on Iranian oil – lining their pockets at the same time that Americans struggled with skyrocketing prices at the pump.

If the U.S. & Iran have arrived at a ceasefire, then why did Senate Rs block a bill that would require the President to secure congressional approval for further military action against Iran? This war has cost us enough already, & Congress must ensure it asserts its constitutional responsibility.

The historic 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will address our nation’s housing crisis by boosting housing supply, bringing down costs, and — for the first time ever — stopping private equity from buying up homes. This bill will be the biggest housing bill in more than 30 years. Let’s get it done.

With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.
