At our visit to a supermercado in Aurora, we heard how skyrocketing grocery prices and MAGA’s cruel SNAP cuts are making life that much more difficult for Coloradans. We need to bring prices down and reverse those dangerous cuts.

As the USS Lincoln comes home today, we commend the brave servicemembers who endured a near-record deployment and served our country honorably. It’s also a reminder that sailors and their families pay the biggest costs for this war of choice. We owe them an immediate end to this conflict.

Anyone who works hard enough, saves enough, and plays by the rules should be able to build wealth for their family, buy a car, a house, or a big-ass truck. The American dream. But right now, hard work isn't cutting it. And as elected officials, it’s our job to change that.

All money from your pocket into fossil fuel’s. Trump’s big corrupt donors are looting the country, and you.

Trump used YOUR tax dollars to promote himself. That’s right. You paid for Trump’s political advertising. Now he’s reversing course – not because he cares it's illegal, but only because he got caught.

The state you live in shouldn’t determine whether you can afford the insulin you need to live. By capping monthly insulin costs at $35 a month, my INSULIN Act would ensure that's never the case. With broad bipartisan support, the time is now to get my legislation passed.

Folks in Brattleboro have the same concerns as the other Vermonters I’ve during my Common Grounds tour. They want Congress to lower the cost of health care, energy, and housing, rather than giving tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans. I’ll keep fighting to bring us out of this affordability crisis.

We are facing the worst measles outbreak in decades, yet the Trump administration has actively undermined childhood vaccines, delayed routine shots, and underreported measles deaths. That’s why I’m demanding immediate answers from the CDC Director to defend settled science.

Wall Street and corporations have schemed for decades to stack the bench with judges who rule against consumers and workers. Result? Federal courts have distorted the law to further rig the economy—and you're paying the price. Democrats must be clear-eyed about this challenge.

As the President and his family profit from Trump Mobile, customers face data breaches and serious security risks. Our review raised concerns about gaps in required FCC filings meant to protect consumers and stop scammers, so I'm pressing for answers from Trump Mobile and the FCC.

I've heard the same thing directly from fishermen in WA state. Fuel costs so much, it's sometimes cheaper not to even leave the dock. Trump's tariffs and war with Iran are HURTING our fishermen and our local economies.

Workers and middle-class families built this country. That's why in the Senate I'm fighting for tax cuts for families, paid for by making millionaires pay their fair share. It's about time hard working people stopped getting left behind.

The Trump Administration is slashing fuel efficiency standards for cars. It means you’ll pay thousands more at the pump over the lifetime of your car, especially as Trump’s illegal war with Iran drives gas prices even higher. https://bit.ly/47FRL4j

Jack Smith deserves an apology from my Republican colleagues who falsely accused him of perjury. This shameful episode demands an explanation. That starts by providing Senate Judiciary Democrats with documents that Republicans withheld before Smith’s hearing—in violation of Senate rules.

The President of the United States should not be allowed to auction off access to himself to the biggest buyers of his crypto coin. It’s corruption, plain and simple. Any crypto legislation Congress passes must prohibit Trump from lining his pockets off the industry.

Trump promised to drain the swamp, but instead he's using YOUR taxpayer dollars to decorate it. He cut Americans’ healthcare to cover DC statues in gold.

As a former prosecutor, I understand what we need to take on fraud. That’s why when the Feeding Our Future indictments came down, I went to the top of the Department of Justice and fought to get Minnesota’s U.S. Attorney Andy Luger’s office the prosecutors they needed.

Congress passed IDEA to ensure students with disabilities get a quality public education. But this regime is diverting BILLIONS to private schools that can reject students or ignore special needs. Public funds belong in public schools—where every child's rights are guaranteed.

For over 20 years, civilians in Afghanistan risked their lives to help us. The bipartisan Special Immigrant Visa program was a promise & a recognition of their service. By dismantling this program, Trump is breaking that promise & sending many of these allies back into harm's way.

NEW: What comes after Trump and RFK Jr.? Public health has been decimated but what was there before wasn’t enough either. I'm launching the Public Health for America Working Group to build a public health system that can't be broken.

Trump’s war spiked gas prices. His cuts to health care made premiums soar. His tariffs spiked the cost of groceries, building materials, and more. None of this ever had to happen. Every extra dollar you pay was pain he chose to inflict.

President Trump backed down from using taxpayer dollars for his political ads but doesn’t plan to pay back the money that was already spent. That money belongs to the American people. He should return it.

No. Don't pat yourself on the back for raising millions of Americans' health care costs by hundreds of dollars and then cutting some of them a check for a fraction of it.

So much for Trump’s “Golden Age” of economic opportunity. Inflation is up more than 5% since he returned to the White House. Whether it’s the President’s tariffs, war with Iran, or cuts to health care and food assistance, his Administration is making it harder for you to afford the basics.
