IUDs are NOT abortion. A vote for Overton is a vote to install an anti-abortion extremist to be in charge of keeping our food and medicine safe. I'm voting NO.

Since the beginning of Trump’s war with Iran, Michiganders have watched their gas prices go up and up. Instead of working towards ending this war and bringing costs down, the President is now considering a further escalation of the conflict.

Trump promised his war would last “4-5 weeks.” We’re now on MONTH 7 Senate Democrats are forcing another vote to end Trump’s war in Iran—one of the biggest foreign policy catastrophes in our history

Glad to meet with President Zelenskyy during his visit to New York. The U.S. must continue to stand with the Ukrainian people who have been bravely defending their homeland against Putin’s invasion.

NEWS: I’m going to the Senate Floor now to vote to end the President’s war with Iran. Congress — and only Congress — has the power to declare war, and it's time to rein in this reckless war.

"Paid for by the US Government" just means paid for at the expense of American taxpayers. Trump is setting your tax dollars on fire for ILLEGAL political propaganda.

Trump’s policies and tariffs have increased the cost of housing and pushed homeownership out of reach for more Americans. Congress must help lower costs, halt tariffs, alleviate housing crunch, and ensure wise implementation of The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.

Remember when Donald Trump promised to get rid of ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in Washington? Well, GAO continues to uncover incompetence and waste at the highest levels of ICE. Americans are outraged at ill-conceived immigration detention projects, and it’s time to hold DHS and ICE responsible.

Outdated tax codes are scaring off developers from building affordable housing. I’m introducing a bill to lower fees so we can build more housing and lower the cost of mortgages and rent.

Corruption must never be tolerated under any Administration. I’m joining Senator Curtis in calling for the Senate Judiciary Committee to bring Hunter Biden and Donald Trump Jr. in for questioning so we can finally get answers about any potential dealings with foreign governments.

We know the Iranians are using targeting information from China and Russia to help them hit American assets. It is unconscionable that we are not doing everything possible to go after Vladimir Putin, to go after China, to stop their attacks against American men and women.

Black women in the U.S. are three times more likely to die due to pregnancy-related causes—deaths that could have been prevented with the right interventions. I’m introducing the CARE for Moms Act to provide mothers with more comprehensive & culturally competent maternal & postpartum health care.

You can tell Trump’s desperate, repressive media ban is flagrantly unconstitutional when it gets blocked by a judge he appointed. No president should use censorship to escape accountability, deprive Americans of the truth, and take our country down the path to authoritarianism.

One of California’s largest Medi-Cal insurers is taking away critical care for thousands of Californians receiving assisted living benefits. I’m doing all I can to stop it. This decision will be devastating for far too many Golden State communities and needs to be reversed immediately.

Donald Trump promised gas below $2. It's above $4. He promised no new wars. Then started a new war with Iran. He promised a $2,000 tariff dividend. Nothing ever came. This President is a serial liar and a fraud.

While hardworking Nevadans are paying the highest gas, health care, and grocery prices in years, Trump is hosting a lavish reception for the president of China. He would rather roll out the red carpet for the Chinese Communist Party than do ANYTHING to help families afford their groceries.

Last week, in a blatant attack on the freedom of the press, Trump banned three media organizations from the White House. After 10 years of attacking our First Amendment, how did we get to this moment? youtu.be/5_n01EaMtz0?...

Trump and far-right extremists are coming after birth control. And I'm not just fighting back—I'm pushing FORWARD with legislation that would require insurance to cover ALL FDA-approved forms of contraception. No fees. No hurdles. No out-of-pocket costs.

President Trump's ban of Politico, CNN, & MSNOW is the stuff of authoritarians. But Trump's authoritarian envy doesn't change the fact that we have a constitution that expressly protects our free press. The White House must allow these outlets back in NOW.

Families should not have to wonder whether the products they rely on are safe. These recalls are yet another reminder of what happens when we lack leadership and oversight. RFK Jr. is steering our nation’s public health systems into the ground and Americans deserve better.

This is a real thing: Trump falsely labeled contraception as “abortion.” And then he wanted to light it on fire. A Senate Democratic majority will protect your birth control, not burn it.

It’s peak harvesting season, and record-high diesel prices and record-low moisture are having drastic impacts on our farmers. Over $6/gal for diesel makes the business of running a farm unsustainable and drives up the costs for everything else.

Yesterday, I met with DHS Secretary Mullin on the Trump Administration’s refugee policy to admit white-only Afrikaners. I urged him to process more refugees from around the world, including our Afghan allies stranded abroad. Our nation must do more to protect those fleeing violence and persecution.

President Trump calls higher prices “a very inexpensive price to pay” for his war in Iran. Tell that to the Minnesotans paying $4.38 for gas, and over $6.30 for diesel — while this administration asks for nearly $70 billion more to keep the war going.

EPA is bending over backwards to the very industry they’re supposed to regulate by outsourcing its decisions for how to address chemical pollution to the polluters themselves. EPA’s approach to governance shouldn’t let industry grade themselves.

On Sunday, ICE agents outside Chicago tackled a U.S. citizen and left him injured on the ground after they realized he wasn’t their target. This despicable display has become all too common under Trump’s mass deportation campaign—no one is safe from this Administration’s cruelty.

Months in and this war of choice rages on – sending diesel prices to new record highs. Just like Trump’s tariffs, all of those extra costs are going to be passed along directly to us in the form of higher prices at the grocery store & on everything we buy.
