Visited LAWS Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Services in Leesburg to learn about its work and how it’s using $1 million in funding I helped secure for a new shelter for survivors of domestic violence. I’ll keep working to ensure every survivor has the support they need to heal.

I ask my Senate colleagues to stand up for your vote and for our rights – because if we don’t stop this assault on vote-by-mail, I guarantee you millions of Americans will be disenfranchised.

After years of progress and generations of healthier kids, 2025 and 2026 have seen skyrocketing numbers of measles cases – and there’s no sign they’re letting up soon. Trump and RFK Jr. have turned the clocks back and needlessly endangered countless kids.

AI-generated deepfakes don't just target celebrities; they target students and teachers, workers and families—anyone whose image or voice can be stolen and weaponized. Congress needs to pass my bipartisan NO FAKES Act so we can put people back in control of their own identity.

I will NOT support a Farm Bill that doesn’t protect SNAP funding. A Farm Bill that abandons hungry families is wholly unacceptable.

Pete Hegseth is unhinged and unqualified. He should be fired.

NATO was founded as an alliance of both security & democratic values. Hosting this summit in Turkey while ignoring Erdogan's daily attacks on freedom and the rule of law isn't diplomacy, it's complicity. We must not be silent. We should call out Erdogan's abuses.

America's friendship with Taiwan is bigger than any one President. Congress needs a steady vision to support Taiwan long-term, for both their security and our own. I'm in Taiwan working to ensure our friendship stays strong, no matter who's in the White House.

Seniors shouldn't have to choose between lifesaving healthcare and basic essentials. I'm fighting to lower out-of-pocket costs for seniors with Medicare. No one should be pushed into financial ruin by a single health emergency.

Tech executives have warned AI could funnel enormous wealth to a handful of people and create a “permanent underclass.” Why should Big Tech get all the profits while we pay the costs? It’s time to tax AI.

Met Seyo & his two sons at his restaurant with Rep. Larson. A great family & successful business owner. While Seyo is grateful for our help in getting him home, ICE should never have disrupted this family’s lives just to meet some arbitrary quota. It is cruel & heartless.

We are a country of laws and people need to be held accountable for their actions. The pay-for-play schemes we see coming from this Administration are egregious and need to be investigated.

I am saddened by the passing of Tibetan activist Lobga Ranzen, and my deepest condolences go out to the Tibetan community. China’s ethnic unity law is a tool for targeting the identity of Tibetans and other minorities. I will continue to fight for the freedom of Tibetans and all minority groups.

A government that detains a nun in her habit as she walks to Sunday Mass has lost sight of its values. Houses of worship should be places of refuge, not places people are afraid to enter.

Trump’s rolling back gun violence protections will cause needless bloodshed & cost lives. I’ll fight his retreat on regulations. Republicans failing to join us are complicit.

I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act to make sure NO President can use their office to profit from corrupt crypto schemes. Each passing day makes it clearer and clearer why we need to get this bill passed.

Our democracy works best when more people vote—not less. I refuse to sit idly by and let President Trump try to intimidate voters. We must pass my bill to stop him from sending armed federal agents to our polling places.

The thing I hear the most about from Arizonans right now is how expensive everything is. They’re spending more and getting less. Bringing costs down is my top priority.

$3,600. That's how much EXTRA the average family in Washington state had to pay since Trump took office because of his reckless and stupid policies.

Donald Trump promised to lower your costs on day one. Instead, he’s busy using the presidency to boost his family's crypto business.

California is on the front line of America’s housing crisis. And while new housing is coming online to provide much-needed affordable options – like Harrington Heights in Downtown San Diego – we can and must do more to increase the supply of housing.

The FIFA World Cup is bringing visitors from around the world to the U.S. – and as they stay in our hotels, dine in our restaurants, and experience all that America has to offer, they’re supporting our small businesses that are at the heart of our communities and contributing to our economy.

Elon Musk, the literal richest man on the planet–the world’s first TRILLIONAIRE–is paying the SAME amount in Social Security taxes as an electrician who makes $185,000 a year. That's outrageous. We need to scrap the cap so the richest people in the world pay their fair share.
