Losing hope is exactly what they want us to do. While the vote against the Boundary Waters is fresh on our minds, the work continues. Headed to Greater Minnesota now to keep up the fight. We have so much to do to tackle corporate greed in areas like housing and health care.

Corruption at the highest levels of government is destabilizing. We must make major reforms to address corruption at all levels of government. It won’t be easy but it is necessary.

One year ago today, I met Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. As I said from day one, this case was never about one man, it was about all of us. If they can deprive him of his rights, they can deprive you of yours. One year on, they’re still trying but we’re still fighting.

Let’s be crystal clear about what is happening: Donald Trump is literally paying for bullets and bombs for war abroad by cutting health care for Americans here at home.

NH food pantries are essential—serving as a reliable source of nutrition for Granite Staters struggling with high costs. President Trump's decision to cut SNAP benefits is having a real impact on these organizations and on hardworking families already struggling to afford groceries.

First, he tweeted "RIP CFPB," the agency responsible for policing consumer financial products. Then he announced X Money, which is part of his plan to turn X into "the biggest financial institution in the world.”

Americans shouldn’t have to choose between their medicine and their groceries. Trump promised to lower drug costs. He took away people’s health care instead.

The best part of my job is meeting with Vermonters from all walks of life. They come from different backgrounds. They have different hopes and dreams. But like me—they love this state and want to see it thrive.

As energy bills soar, Trump is forcing families to pay for overpriced, dirty fossil fuel power. My No Bailouts on Your Power Bill Act will stop Trump’s abuse of energy emergency authority for his pet pollution projects that add millions to household bills and sicken communities.

Thousands of Haitians have been living & working in America legally for years, after fleeing violence in Haiti. Stripping away their Temporary Protected Status would send them back into harm’s way. The House has acted — now the Senate must follow suit. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

Trump's Budget Director admitted it: Trump & Republicans CHOSE to give big PERMANENT tax cuts to the rich, while the much smaller cuts for working Americans EXPIRE in 2 years. Their priorities are clear. We need a tax code that works for working people, not the super-rich.

Today, I joined Senator Wicker, Senator Shaheen, and a bipartisan group of Senators to host Ukrainian Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko in the Capitol. In our meeting, I told her I stand with Ukraine and that Congress and President Trump must also play their parts to end Putin’s bloody war.

Yes, your grocery prices are up—by about $310 since 2024. Trump’s war with Iran is raising costs, AND food prices are still out of control. But Trump has done nothing to stop them. That’s why I’m calling on his admin to crack down on price fixing now.

$205. That’s the added cost New Hampshire families paid to heat their homes in March thanks to the President's war in Iran. I’m fighting to lower costs for my constituents, but our President’s actions are doing just the opposite.

If you were outraged when Trump tried to silence Jimmy Kimmel, you should be outraged by what they're doing to students who spoke out against the war in Gaza. Now they're firing immigration "judges" who refuse to go along with their illegal scheme. Defend free speech! ⬇️

The Pope criticized Trump’s war in Iran and now Trump is cutting funding from Catholic charities helping homeless kids. Not a coincidence. Just retaliation. He doesn’t care who gets hurt.

Between tariffs and the administration’s war with Iran, costs are rising across the board. It’s rippling through our economy and hurting families, small businesses, and farmers.

I don't believe that Donald Trump believes in much of anything. I don’t believe he has a moral core. In fact, I believe he holds people of faith in contempt. Religion for him is just one more tool in his toolbox to divide us in order to dominate us.

Seattle is literally breaking records for the price of diesel thanks to Trump's war of choice. This is hitting our supply chains—and you're going to see the difference at the grocery store. I'll keep voting to end this senseless war again and again.

Today, I met with Illinois members of the Joint Action Committee to discuss the dangerous rise of antisemitism, US-Israel relations, and gun violence. Hate in all its forms has no place in America, and I will continue to fight for the rule of law and democratic norms that shield us from such evils.

Trump's illegal war with Iran is costing U.S. taxpayers BILLIONS, has left 13 U.S. servicemembers dead, killed thousands, weakened U.S. credibility, and is forcing prices here at home to skyrocket — and Senate Republicans are doing nothing to stop it. Spineless.

January 6 was a violent assault on our democracy, and those responsible must be held accountable. Erasing these convictions undermines the rule of law and disrespects the law enforcement officers who put their lives on the line defending the Capitol.

Thank you to the many states—including Vermont—who carried on with this trial despite the Trump Administration settling and dropping out. Live Nation has been ripping off concertgoers for too long. This verdict is a victory for music fans and a blow against corporate greed.

Trump says, “when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money,” but fails to mention that “we” are the oil CEOs who donated to his campaign – not you.
