What a day! Detroit’s future will be shaped by strong local leadership, and today that leadership was on full display at the historic swearing-in of Mayor Sheffield.

Middle school is one of the most important times in our lives – a time to truly discover who you are. I loved stopping by Woodlawn Middle School today. These students are preparing for lifetimes of success. I thank them for welcoming me!

This tragedy deserves a thorough and fair investigation, but sadly with this administration at the helm, I have little faith that Kash Patel will get to the bottom of this. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

ICE is increasingly acting outside the realm of accountability and undermining what’s left of public trust.

Under RFK Jr.'s leadership, the CDC is looking less like an institution that keeps Americans healthy and more like a politically-motivated anti-vax machine. The consequences will be devastating for our kids. youtu.be/H4QhSS2GSkc

Would Republicans in Congress still nod their head and go along with it if Russia did what Trump did in Venezuela? Or China? Can North Korea send the military to arrest South Korean leaders? Can Iran make arrests in Israel? Of course not—so let's stop playing dumb.

Under Donald Trump, the median age of a first-time homebuyer hit a record 40 years old. There’s a housing crisis in every state across the country. We’ve got the numbers:

For over 50 years, Feeding Champlain Valley has been tackling the hunger and housing needs of thousands of Vermonters. I visited their facility in Burlington to thank the staff and volunteers for their work, and learn how they plan to make an even greater impact.

Let's get this straight: the Trump Admin is talking about giving up to $100,000 a PERSON to Greenlanders, but he's refusing to help millions of Americans afford their health insurance?? This is a waste of taxpayer dollars & a slap in the face to working Americans.

By starting his day with oil executives rather than the Venezuelan opposition, Trump is making clear that his operation against Maduro was only about oil access.

The President's misguided actions are keeping energy and home heating costs high instead of lowering them. I appreciated hearing directly from folks in Rochester about the challenges they're facing as a result, especially during New Hampshire’s cold winters.

President Trump’s foreign entanglements are a distraction. He doesn’t want to talk about things like health care, housing and child care. He is distracting us because he doesn’t want to talk about any of that.

Maduro was a dictator. But let's not pretend Trump cares about democracy. He cozies up to dictators all over the world when it suits him. Trump has been clear: he wants Venezuela’s oil. That’s not democracy. That’s imperialism.

Having a safe, affordable place to live should not feel out of reach for hardworking families. When rent hikes and mortgage payments outpace paychecks year after year, it is a sign that our housing market works better for corporations than for American families.

The Trump administration’s plans to seize and sell Venezuelan oil are an invitation to corruption and cronyism. There is no legal or moral authority for Trump’s oil imperialism. Secretary Wright owes Congress and the American people answers. Who will foot the bill for Trump’s slippery scheme?
- PM
Trump isn't even trying to hide why he attacked Venezuela: OIL. Americans don't want a war with Venezuela—especially not one to enrich oil executives. Oil profits are not worth putting American lives at risk. No war. No occupation. No "boots on the ground."

So Trump can find the money to pay every citizen of Greenland $100K, but won’t do anything to keep Americans’ health care premiums from doubling?

Nevada faces unique challenges when it comes to affordable housing, and we need to find unique solutions. I want to thank @warren.senate.gov for convening a housing roundtable in the Senate where I highlighted how I’m working to make sure every Nevada family can afford a place to call home.

Trump isn't just driving your prices up, he's also making it harder for you to find a job. Meanwhile, he's more focused on running foreign countries than helping the middle-class families he's neglecting here at home.

The House passed a bipartisan three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that Republicans voted to cut just last summer. It’s the critical next step in making sure all Americans have access to affordable, accessible, and universal health care. The Senate needs to vote on this ASAP.

Let me repeat: 2025 was the worst year for job growth outside of a recession since 2003. Trump's economic policy has been nothing short of a disaster since the start. How about instead of starting wars with foreign countries, we fix our problems here at home?

Early in my career, I learned that Americans need 3 things to feel secure: A roof over their head, a good-paying job and support in case they get sick. That's why I'm not giving up on the fight to address the cost of living and ensure Americans can afford their health insurance.

Last year, Trump gave $20 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Argentina. Now, he wants to pay Greenlanders tens of thousands of dollars each to take their land. But when it comes to lowering Americans’ health care, child care, and grocery costs, there’s no money in the bank.
