No amount of intimidation from Trump’s FBI will change the fact that he lost the 2020 election. This is an abuse of power and a waste of resources, and I fear Trump is doing this to set the stage to meddle in the next election. He needs to cut it out and respect Wisconsin voters.

I’m in touch with families and advocates of those detained at Delaney Hall, and what I’m hearing about conditions is simply unacceptable. Full statement below.

Trump’s war with Iran has cost Americans more than $42 billion in gas and diesel costs. That’s more than $300 per family. Not peanuts.

I’m really pleased that the Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport will receive $260,000 to build a children’s play area and install a new lactation pod, making it easier for families to fly. The funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law we worked hard to pass in 2021.

Donald Trump's settlement makes it official government policy that Trump, his family, and his political allies are above the law. It's outrageously corrupt, and it must be stopped. I'm pressing for answers NOW.

Today, a federal judge determined what we've known all along, the Trump admin was engaged in a vindictive prosecution against Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This is a win for all our rights & the Constitution.

Groceries and gas prices are soaring thanks to Trump’s illegal tariffs and painful war. None of these price increases were inevitable – they’re a direct result of policy choices by this President.

Mifepristone has been used safely and effectively for decades and restricting access to it puts women’s lives at risk. I joined all my Senate Democratic colleagues to keep fighting to ensure access to mifepristone and protect women’s reproductive rights.

The U.S.-Canada relationship is still critically important, especially to Michigan. Despite the recent tension in that relationship, I strongly believe our two nations must work together to address the big problems we face.

I voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for this exact reason: to get dangerous lead pipes out of Wisconsin communities and make sure Wisconsinites have clean water coming out of their faucets.

No one in government should be allowed to profit off of the information or influence they have access to while in office. That's why I've been pushing to ban stock trading across all three branches of government. It's just common sense.

Trump never has money for healthcare or VA staff or anything to actually make Americans’ lives better — but somehow found $1.8 billion to reward his allies with your tax dollars. That's corruption, plain and simple.

I joined Senator Grassley to demand Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth immediately release stalled funding for Ukraine and the Baltics. These nations are facing the brunt of Russian aggression, and our failure to stand by them will only embolden Putin and his war machine.

The NIH Director couldn't say whether we're better prepared for public health threats under Trump—because we aren't. Trump gutted NIH funding, delayed and canceled research projects, and pushed out thousands of scientists and staff. We’re less ready for the next pandemic.

Instead of voters picking their politicians, the politicians are picking their voters. It's turning our democracy upside down.

Howard Lutnick's FIRST political donation since becoming Commerce Secretary was a $5 MILLION donation to House Republicans 1 month before they interviewed him about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Let that sink in.

Lifted off food stamps? Trump and Republicans RIPPED food assistance away from millions of Americans to pay for giant tax giveaways for billionaires.

First and foremost, my thoughts are with Tulsi Gabbard and her family as her husband battles cancer. Anyone who has watched a loved one go through a serious illness understands the toll it takes, and I wish him strength and hope for a full recovery in the difficult days ahead.

There are many Americans, and especially Michiganders, who care deeply about the U.S.-Canada relationship. Our lives, economies, and security are intertwined. That's why I thought it was so important to travel to Toronto to meet with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney.

No family should have to wonder whether the water they're drinking has been contaminated with toxic lead. Glad to see over $27 million that I secured in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law heading to New Hampshire to remove lead pipes and upgrade aging water systems.

I led all Illinois Congressional Democrats in a letter urging Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to approve Illinois’ Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program Final Proposal. Farmers, schools, and businesses in Illinois are depending on these funds, and they shouldn’t have to wait any longer.

Kevin Warsh starts his tenure with his credibility in tatters. He's proven himself to be Donald Trump's sock puppet. And he refuses to answer who cut him a $100 million check for his secret investments – and what they may want from him as the new Fed Chair.

They’re blocking a vote that would’ve reined in the President’s unauthorized war with Iran. Congress needs to do its job and assert its constitutional authority to end this war that has already cost Americans more than $42 billion in higher fuel costs.

Farmers work hard day and night on the thinnest of margins to feed their communities. Congress should do our part to help them out. Let's help them recover from natural disasters, lower their energy costs, and give them access to the credit and farmland they need to succeed.

For years, I’ve led the charge to protect Chaco Canyon because once these sacred landscapes are destroyed, they can never be replaced. Chaco is one of the world’s most sacred and culturally significant sites, and we have a responsibility to protect it for future generations. Period.

Our faith traditions teach us to welcome the stranger, love our neighbor, and uphold human dignity. Instead of spending billions more on unaccountable ICE agents, we should be focus on the least of these: Americans struggling to put food on the table or keep roofs over their heads.
