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-...

“Do you want to put federal employees in trauma?" should be an easy question for anyone overseeing our federal workforce. But today, this Trump nominee couldn't answer it. This admin's disdain for civil servants hurts all Americans by undermining their ability to serve us all.

I’m closely monitoring reports of a shooting at Wilmington Hospital. I’m praying for everyone’s safety, including patients, health care workers, first responders, and law enforcement officers. Please continue to follow updates from local officials.

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 only thing this pool reflects is how poorly this regime spends U.S. taxpayer dollars.

Instead of draining the swamp, Trump built a brand new one with $14 million of your tax dollars.

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.

It was a pleasure to welcome 130 students, faculty, and chaperones from Accokeek Academy to the U.S. Capitol. I was thrilled to meet with the group and share about my work in the Senate. Always inspiring to meet the next generation of leaders!

Republicans are pushing for a half-TRILLION-dollar increase for Trump’s war budget and not a single cent more for child care. Trump promised no new wars and lower costs—he broke that promise. Democrats are pushing real solutions to actually make child care affordable.

Trump promised American taxpayers wouldn't have to pay for his ballroom. He lied. At a time when costs are going up and up, your tax dollars are going to his vanity project.

Trump says the Strait of Hormuz will reopen. His own vice president says the terms are still being worked out. Which is it? We'd know the answer if they released the details of the deal.

Linda McMahon and Donald Trump continue to undermine our ability to educate our children and to fight against civil rights violations and hate on college campuses. From combatting antisemitism to supporting special education, this administration’s policies have been one failure after another.

In March, Trump said that no taxpayer would put up even 10 cents for his ballroom. Now, taxpayers are covering more than half of his $600 million project. Can the president stop lying to the American people?

Another broken promise from Trump. Apparently there is no money for your health care but there is about $300 million of YOUR tax dollars for his gold-plated ballroom.

Lucas Franco and the Laborers' Union get it: you can't solve a housing crisis without building. That means cutting red tape, working with the private sector, and lowering the cost of housing for Minnesotans. That's exactly what we're going to do.

A Lowell woman waited 5 months for a wheelchair repair and ended up in the ER on a ventilator. This isn't a fluke—too many Americans are paying the price when private equity puts profits over patients. I won't stop fighting to get corporate greed out of health care.

Binance has repeatedly routed millions to Iran-backed proxy groups while also being a key backer of Trump’s crypto profiteering. I am demanding answers into Binance’s role in violating sanctions laws — and its business entanglements with the Trump family.

Last April, Trump & Miller plotted to take away the habeas corpus rights of Kilmar Abrego Garcia & other immigrants, to aid their illegal mass deportation agenda. But our Constitution is clear: everyone gets due process. Threatening the rights of one, threatens the rights of all.

Trump says he "loves" inflation. We can tell. Since he took office, people in Hawaii are paying $872 MORE for housing, $310 MORE for groceries, and $263 MORE for gas. $4,100 MORE because Trump prioritizes anything but lowering costs for Americans.

Our system is rigged so that one man becomes a trillionaire while millions of Americans can't afford a trip to the doctor. Wealth is funneled to the wealthy while everyone else is hanging on by their fingernails. My wealth tax would level the playing field. Let's get it done.
