Last week, I was honored to meet with the Ute Mountain Ute's Tribal Council in Towaoc. My relationship with both Colorado Ute Tribes is one of my most important responsibilities as Senator.

Canceling the Gordie Howe Bridge will have serious repercussions. Higher costs for Michigan businesses, less secure supply chains, and ultimately, fewer jobs.

As health care costs continue to skyrocket across our country, Amador Health Center in Las Cruces is committed to delivering high-quality care to New Mexicans. I helped secure $516,000 for Amador Health Clinic to strengthen care for families in Doña Ana County and keep health services close to home.

This is flying under the radar: Donald Trump FIRED the DOJ official in charge of suing Live Nation-Ticketmaster for monopolizing ticketing and hiking prices. Then, their stock jumped. If Trump's DOJ takes it easy on Ticketmaster, it'll be a slap in the face to every American.

Down in Teller County today, we heard about how Trump’s economy is making life harder for Americans in rural communities. We should be supporting our local businesses and working families, not crushing them.

This morning I toured Sheet Metal Local 359 in Phoenix, a 5-year, college-accredited apprenticeship where workers earn while they learn. Arizona is growing fast and programs like this make sure we have the skilled workers to fill jobs, build faster, and keep the momentum going.

It sounds like a lot of people had to smack some sense into Prasad & RFK Jr. to stop them from upending vaccine approval with NO basis in science. But serious damage has been done. Who's going to invest in new vaccines if a conspiracy theorist can block even a review on a whim?

For over a century, Harley-Davidson has been woven into our state’s identity, supporting good-paying jobs and driving our Wisconsin economy forward. Now, the iconic company is being slammed by Trump’s trade war and is stuck paying costly tariffs. This is not America First.

Pam Bondi, Tom Homan, Sean Duffy, Susie Wiles. What do these people have in common? They’re former lobbyists-turned-government officials. As those close to Trump continue to make millions $$$ while you struggle to pay rent and utilities, I’m demanding answers.

I want to be unequivocal here: when—not if, but when—the next pandemic hits, America will be less prepared because of the decisions made by the Trump administration. Your family and our economy will be more vulnerable to the next pandemic. This is a choice Trump is making.

I applaud the Baltimore County Council & County Executive for quickly passing a ban on private ICE detention facilities in the county. Our state has seen the inhumanity of these facilities firsthand & Marylanders have made it clear: we don't want Trump’s ICE or their jails here.

Good. Mohsen is in this country legally and peacefully protested the war in Gaza. It’s outrageous that the Trump Administration is trying to deport him simply for exercising his freedom of speech.

Authoritarianism, plain and simple. Todd Lyons must immediately confirm or deny whether ICE is building a database of protesters. If true, this would be an appalling attack on Americans’ free speech and right to protest. Peaceful dissent is not a crime. It’s a constitutional right.

When President Trump threatens Canada with higher tariffs, it causes real economic harm for my constituents. His rhetoric has led to a sharp drop in Canadian tourism to our state, which takes money right out of the pockets of small business owners across NH. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/02/09/s...

This is Aliya Rahman, a disabled US citizen who was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when she was violently assaulted, arrested, and detained by ICE agents. This is why we’re not giving DHS a cent until ICE is reined in – including use of force standards to which they can be held accountable.
