Trump gave this economy an A+++++, while Michiganders are seeing prices go up and up. We need sound policies that lower costs.

I welcome the release of four Armenian civilians who were unlawfully detained by Azerbaijan—but it is not enough. At least 19 Armenians remain wrongfully held. The State Department must intensify pressure on Azerbaijan. I will continue pushing until every last Armenian detainee is free.

You’ve heard me on zettajoules before; now it’s up to 23 — about 45 times more excess heat into oceans than mankind’s entire energy production.

In the meantime, read more about my new inquiry with BNY here. When it comes to Epstein, what did they know and when did they know it?

I have a bill that would force Bessent and the Treasury to turn over its Epstein file for investigation. I’m continuing to build support, and I’m going to keep fighting for Congress to pass it. We’ve got to follow the money.
- RW
It’s not just Bondi and the Justice Department that’s stonewalling. Secretary Bessent and the Treasury Department is sitting on a massive file made up of Epstein bank records. My investigators have seen a portion of it. We need the whole thing to follow the money.
- RW
If the Trump administration wasn’t running a full-on pedophile protection program, they’d have these investigations up and running already. Instead, they’re hiding the vast majority of the Epstein files and letting Epstein’s enablers and co-conspirators off the hook.
- RW
Every bank and bank employee that enabled Epstein’s trafficking by failing to blow the whistle on his suspicious transactions should be under federal investigation.
- RW
With all the banks Epstein used, it’s the same pattern again and again. They could have blown the whistle, but they didn’t. His trafficking continued. The number of victims grew right up until the end.
- RW
But like we’ve seen with other banks, it appears BNY turned a blind eye to what Epstein was doing. They were legally required to flag these suspicious transactions in real time, but they waited more than a decade to do so, until Epstein was already behind bars.
- RW
These transactions had some of the key hallmarks of money laundering, including a series of 20 transactions spread over 9 months in which Epstein moved exactly $1 million out of BNY into his accounts at another bank, JPMorgan.

Epstein used a lot of banks to move money around. My investigators found that Epstein moved $378 million in and out of accounts at BNY over the course of 270 suspicious transactions.

EPSTEIN UPDATE: today I’m expanding my follow-the-money investigation of Epstein’s financing by examining his transactions at another Wall Street Bank, BNY Mellon.

BREAKING: My bipartisan legislation with Senator Fischer to help protect kids with food allergies was just signed into law. This bill will give parents the peace of mind knowing more staff will be trained to PREVENT and PROTECT their children from an allergic reaction at school.

Citizens United was one of the first things I talked about on the campaign trail. It was the reason I ran for office. Almost a decade later, I’m still fighting for a democracy that fairly represents all Americans.

This resolution had bipartisan support last week. Then the President did what he always does — make threats and bully. Republicans ran scared. And now the bill is dead. Shameful. That is what happened here. All so this President can go to war whenever he feels like it.

Could that “one other thing” be wondering why costs have gone up so much under Trump that Americans are supposed to follow a chicken/broccoli/tortilla diet? (Is that on the menu at Mar-a-Lago?)

Senate Republicans voted against a resolution that would require Congressional approval before Trump engages us in further hostilities with Venezuela. We cannot allow this conflict to escalate at the expense of American lives. Sadly, the majority of my Senate Republican colleagues don’t agree.

Today, first responders tackling the fentanyl crisis spent the day planning layoffs instead of helping people. More absurd, pointless chaos from RFK Jr. and this administration.

The Trump administration is completely out of touch with the challenges families are facing. They have no idea how much dinner costs, no interest in actually making groceries affordable, and no clue how to make ends meet.

Open and reliable access to information is essential to safeguarding the integrity and legitimacy of the electoral process, and Ugandans should be able to vote free of fear or intimidation.

As Ugandans head to the polls tomorrow, it is deeply concerning that the Museveni government has imposed an internet blackout, restricted mobile access, and detained opposition supporters and journalists in the lead up to the election.

Senate Republicans just narrowly blocked consideration of the resolution to put a check on the President's military actions in Venezuela. We will not give up. Congress must prevent our troops from being put in harm’s way to secure access to another country’s oil.

DHS’s use of facial recognition, social media monitoring, automated license plate readers, and predictive policing heralds a chilling new era of mass government surveillance. Trump is trying to make the government Big Brother again. It’s unacceptable and it must end now.

We hear a lot of talk about “freedom” from my Republican colleagues. And yet these same Republicans are working overtime to deny tens of millions of women the basic freedom to control their own bodies. That is wrong, and it represents a fundamental betrayal of what freedom is about.

Electric prices are soaring. Why? Because Trump and his fossil fuel cronies are putting Big Oil profits over people. Americans are paying more while polluters get richer. I’m standing with @repstansbury.bsky.social to fight back for our planet, for working families, and for the truth.

Personal lawsuits against media companies whose coverage offends the president, abuse of the regulatory process to censor the press, and now execution of warrants against journalists. There has never been a more blatant attack on freedom of the press in our history.

I’m pleased that my bill, the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, was signed into law today. It will bring more healthy milk into schools, helping students get access to the nutrients it provides and helping our farmers get the milk they work so hard to produce into the communities they serve.

Congress has the constitutional responsibility to decide when America goes to war. Americans are struggling to afford groceries and health care here at home under President Trump. They don’t want him throwing us into another forever war to enrich oil executives.

Funding from SAMHSA is not a budget line—it's a lifeline to people struggling with substance use and mental health challenges and the providers who support them. Canceling this funding will cost lives. The Trump administration must restore it immediately.
