Dreamers are an essential part of this country. Deporting the people we've invested decades in is a detriment to the United States.

After cutting your health care, Republicans want to spend $1 BILLION on Trump's ballroom. Absolutely not. I'm voting NO.

13 million of your taxpayer dollars. To repaint the Reflecting Pool. To a handpicked contractor with no competitive bidding. This isn't a vanity project; it's a national scandal.

Democrats, Republicans, and Independents can all agree—Trump’s war of choice in Iran is hurting America. My colleagues and I are giving Senate Republicans yet another opportunity to do what’s right and end this war.

Yesterday, FBI Director Kash Patel told me he'd take Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test if I did. Well, here's mine. Given all the lies he told yesterday, I imagine he'll fudge the numbers here, but let's see yours, Director Patel.

President Trump’s reckless war with Iran is costing Americans at the gas pump. President Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, his policies are hurting people who can least afford it. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/b...

A few weeks ago, juries in NM & CA legally recognized that American families have known: social media companies are hurting children. Today, OpenAI’s endorsement adds to the overwhelming recognition even by Big Tech itself that it’s time to pass the Kids Online Safety Act. 1/

Scammers impersonating federal agents have been targeting Virginia families whose loved ones have been detained by ICE. Remember: No government agency will ever ask for money through gift cards or mobile payment apps. ICE does not contact members of the public through WhatsApp.

Donald Trump thinks the U.S. Treasury is his personal piggy bank. Let's be clear: the President is trying to steal $10 BILLION of taxpayer money - before a court rules. This is a massive, unprecedented scandal. Congress must stop him. I have a bill for that.

Ahead of Trump's summit with Xi, @SenJohnCurtis and I led a bipartisan group of senators in sending a clear message: the U.S. must uphold our commitments to Taiwan and adopt no new declaratory policy on the island.

While Trump is building a ballroom and unveiling golden statues, families are struggling to keep up with rising costs on everything from gas to food to health care. Americans deserve a leader who is actually focused on lowering costs.

Mifepristone is safe and effective. While health care is being stripped from women & families across the country, the stakes couldn't be higher. @SCOTUS needs to get this right.

Mifepristone is safe and effective. Access to abortion medication through telehealth & the mail is legal & must be protected. It's time for the Court to cut the short-term extensions and provide women with certainty that they can access basic reproductive health care. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...

When I was growing up in South Jersey, buying your own home was part of the American Dream. It was a dream we all thought was within reach. This isn’t the case in the America my sons are growing up in. Now, the average American is 40 years old when they purchase their first home. 1/2

Families are stretched thin — raising kids, caring for aging parents, and facing rising costs. It shouldn’t be this hard to care for loved ones. Looking forward to tomorrow’s Senate Aging Committee hearing and learning from those working on these challenges daily.

I am deeply disturbed to hear about the bomb threat against Secretary Raffensperger and I am relieved that he was not harmed. Political violence has no place in America. We must condemn it unequivocally.

Look, he's not even pretending at this point. He DOES NOT CARE if you can't afford anything or get by because of his war. And this war wasn't even about the threat of Iran having nuclear weapons because there was NO imminent threat.

Glad to visit the newly converted Hi-Way 40 Affordable Housing Complex in Reno last week, which was made possible by legislation I supported. This development is a great example of the creative ways communities can help tackle the affordable housing shortage in Nevada.

Did you get a raise in the past year? So did gas prices & just about everything else. Trump's war with Iran and tariffs have jacked inflation up to its highest levels in years.

A year ago, 20-year-old Dreamer Caroline Dias Goncalves was wrongfully detained by ICE after a traffic stop in Colorado. Today, she helped secure a major legal victory requiring ICE to retrain agents and curb unlawful arrests in Colorado. Caroline’s courage helped hold ICE accountable.

Around midnight, Senate Banking Committee Republicans unveiled new crypto legislation. Among other flaws, it will turbocharge the massive conflict of interests posed by Donald Trump and his family's crypto ventures. No bill should move through the Banking Committee without real ethics guardrails.

FDA’s work is life and death. From disease outbreaks to drug shortages. Families rely on the FDA every time they go to the pharmacy, and every time they sit down for a meal. But Trump wants to put politics over science. America deserves better than this dumpster fire.

24 sources told The Atlantic that Kash Patel’s heavy drinking impeded his ability to do his job. He denied it. He also told provable lies during this hearing. And at the end, he refused to acknowledge that is a crime to lie to Congress. It is.

Trump gutted the National Science Foundation’s workforce. Tried to cut its budget in half—twice. Now he's fired NSF’s board without any explanation. This is Trump's anti-science, anti-innovation agenda at work. We demand answers, now.
