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

Too many hardworking Americans come face to face with barriers preventing them from creating and building generational wealth. I joined Tiffany Haddish at the Milken Institute Global Conference to talk about how we can create pathways for true upward economic mobility.

I’m standing with parents and advocates to push for the Kids Online Safety Act to hold platforms accountable, strengthen parental tools, and bring transparency to the algorithms shaping what our kids see.

I have real concerns about the President’s summit with China, including the issue of Taiwan. The White House can’t be so desperate for a deal that they give away the farm.

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.

Trump wants hardworking Wisconsinites to help pay $1 billion for his glamorous ballroom. Here’s a list of the things we could be investing in instead.

Trump really just said “I don't think about Americans’ financial situation.” That’s what he should be doing every day.

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.

It was an incredible honor to meet with the crew of Artemis II today. This team is the best of America and an inspiration to billions around the globe. And for once, Senator Mark Kelly wasn’t the only astronaut in the room!

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.

Seven Michigan cities and towns across three days. Nothing I like more in this job than being in Michigan and taking what I learn back to the Senate.

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.

The cruelty is the point. Dreamers and DACA recipients have lived here, married here, had kids here, and contributed here for years. I’ve spent 20+ years fighting for Dreamers. I will spend the rest of my time in the Senate continuing that fight.

The Trump Administration is destroying livelihoods of humans who have known no other country besides America as their own. Shameful.

This temporary pause proves what we already knew — DHS rushed this process without undertaking the proper legal reviews. The people of Roxbury don’t want this massive detention center in their backyard. I will continue pressing Sec. Mullin to abandon this project.

Honored to meet the crew of Artemis II and hear about their mission to the moon. It was especially exciting to speak with Reid Wiseman. Proud to see a Maryland native leading this era of space exploration.

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.

If FBI Director Patel wants to pass out branded bourbon or pop bottles in a locker room, he should stick to podcasting. This is a serious job & I don't believe the American people can count on him. Patel should never have been confirmed. He should resign or be fired.

Between rising gas prices, skyrocketing healthcare costs, and the Trump Tariff Tax, working Americans can't catch a break. Our communities are paying the price for Trump's war in Iran.

Budgets say a lot about priorities. Here is what Republicans are focused on: giving ICE and Border Patrol nearly $70 billion dollars and setting aside $1 billion for Trump's ballroom. And Oregon families? They're left out in the cold.

Wisconsin farmers were already feeling squeezed by Trump's trade war, now they are facing skyrocketing costs from Trump's war of choice in Iran. Farmers just want a fair shot to succeed. This war must end now.

The State of Washington is already seeing real-world impacts from sea-level rise, but Sen. Johnson of Wisconsin blocked a Senate resolution to simply recognize the problem. We cannot bury our heads in the sand with so much at risk.

Trump and RFK Jr.'s drastic cuts at the CDC have left us exposed. It took an entire month for the Administration to stand up a CDC-led team to respond to Hantavirus. That is unacceptable. And I intend to demand answers.

The Iran War. Tariff wars. Trump's policies and actions have pushed costs far higher than when he took office.

A federal judge in Colorado has confirmed what we’ve been warning about: under President Trump, ICE agents are not properly trained and are carrying out warrantless arrests in violation of the law — disregarding people's rights.

Trump has spent almost $30 billion on his war in Iran — the same amount that Senate Republicans said was too much to spend on lowering healthcare premiums for working Americans. They literally chose war in Iran over the American people.
