In the first year of his presidency, Trump made more money than in the rest of his life combined. A total of $2.2 billion from the presidency. Meanwhile, most Americans worked hard to just break even. This is the cost of corruption. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/u...

I'm working with state and local officials to address the wastewater overflow in the Merrimack River. Our communities can't shoulder this alone—that’s why Congress must pass my request for a robust water bill with billions of additional dollars for water and sewer infrastructure.

You know, it’s too rare that Democrats and Republicans come together to get things done, but we did to pass a bill to lower housing costs for Americans. And this is what President Trump has to say about it…

I’m so sad to hear that today, on the last day of Pride Month, we have lost a long time Minnesota state legislator and a fierce fighter for justice and freedom for all people: Karen Clark.

President Trump’s thoughts on affordable housing: “It’s a yawn” … “So unimportant” … “I don’t want to drive housing prices down” …

10 years ago, Congress put Puerto Rico's finances under an unelected fiscal board that put Wall Street first. Now Trump is firing its members and opening the door for even more of his Wall Street buddies. It’s time for Puerto Rico to have the right to determine its own future.

Minnesota has 11,600 registered apprentices. I want to add 10,000 more — working with businesses and trade unions to expand apprenticeships into biotech, health care, manufacturing, and agriculture. It’s already happening in Rochester. Let’s expand it across the state.

New details raise serious questions about Trump’s $500M no-bid ballroom contract. From sweetheart contracts to special interest donors, Trump’s ballroom boondoggle is fraught with corruption. I’ll keep demanding answers through PSI.

Since Trump started his war of choice, American families have paid an extra $1,000 on fuel, food, and more. What will it take for the president to focus on lowering costs?

In light of this decision, the federal government should rethink if it can continue to buy Americans' location data without a warrant. I'll keep pushing for black-letter law that would stop the sale of your data to anyone, including the government.

Housing costs are hurting Granite Staters. Yesterday, @repchrispappas.bsky.social and I discussed how the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act can help. President Trump is standing in the way of lower costs by refusing to sign this bill.

Granite Staters are beyond exhausted by the flood of scam calls, texts, and emails. Scams have a bigger impact on the global economy than the illicit drug trade — it’s essential to create a ReportScams.Gov portal to help victims report scams and get help.

This is a promise we can't afford to let Trump break. After a lifetime of hard work, our seniors must receive the Social Security benefits they've earned. We can't let Trump destroy the system that helps seniors age with dignity.

At least 3 MILLION people have lost health insurance thanks to Trump & Republicans' refusal to extend ACA tax credits & that's before factoring in their $1 TRILLION Medicaid cut. We need a system that is not vulnerable to this kind of ongoing sabotage. We need Medicare for All.

I visited Chestnut Health Systems in Bloomington to discuss their work to expand access to oral health care. Across rural and urban Illinois, more than 2 million people live in dental shortage areas. Medicaid cuts will make it worse. I salute Chestnut for their quality services.

Trump’s all for using the presidency to enrich his family and allies. But landmark legislation that will help Americans out of this housing crisis – he calls a “big yawn.”

Across the country, hardworking Americans have to pay thousands of dollars a year to afford their life-saving insulin medication. With health care costs rising across the board, we must keep fighting to cap insulin at $35 a month and deliver real relief to millions of families.

The EPA proposed a rule that would convert clean air safeguards into a fast-track for data centers and fossil fuel plants. EPA’s duty is to protect Americans from pollution, not to shield corporations from accountability. The agency must withdraw this rule.

Americans are already feeling crushed by rising utility costs—we need to protect them from unfair rate increases. The No Bonuses for Utility Executives Act ensures that the c-suite is not lining their pockets while burdening consumers with increased costs.

The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal attempt to end birthright citizenship. While it’s unlikely that this fight is over, today’s decision affirms our Constitution and celebrates our nation’s enduring ideal: “out of many, one.”

The promise and privilege of citizenship extends to every child born in our jurisdiction, and those children deserve just as much of a shot at the American dream as those whose families have been here for generations. No xenophobic Executive Order can undo that.

The Fourteenth Amendment is clear: If you're born in the United States, you're an American citizen. It’s that simple, no matter what Trump says. It has been the law of the land for over a century, and it’s outrageous that Trump ever tried to take it away in the first place.

A dark day: the Supreme Court flung the doors wide open to quid pro quo corruption in our electoral process. The decision to obliterate caps on spending by political parties is a gift from the MAGA majority on the Court to their extremist benefactors.

Big money in politics is a threat to our democracy. The more the Supreme Court strikes down limits to big money, the more the rich and powerful will be able to buy influence over our elections.

Amazing that the Trumpiest extreme of the extremist wing went with Trump even on something clear as this. It should have been 9-0, but then so should the presidential immunity decision, and it was 6-3 for the extremists’ anti-constitutional invention.

The vast sums of dark, unaccountable money in our political system have shifted the balance of power toward corporate special interests and away from the American people. This ruling is a boon to the GOP and its billionaire donors and their ability to drown out the voices of the American people.

President Trump’s illegal birthright citizenship order was not just an attack on our Constitution—it was an attack on millions of Americans who have immigrant heritage.

Birthright citizenship has never been up for debate. The Constitution is clear that anyone born in the United States is an American citizen. Striking that down was a bridge too far for even this partisan Supreme Court.

Trump thinks building more housing, lowering costs, and stopping private equity from buying up homes is a "yawn." He is completely disinterested in helping the American people. He's not even bothering to hide it, he’s proud of it.
