This isn't a one-off dispute, it's a stated program — and it's already been tried and lost. Check the AP case, Trump cannot ban outlets based on coverage he doesn’t like. Freedom of press is core to our democracy, and our democracy must survive this self absorbed President.

On POW/MIA Day, we honor those who were captured or went missing while fighting for our freedoms. On this day, let’s resolve that those who went missing in action can never go missing from our memories. Their sacrifice — as well as their families — should never be forgotten.

The Trump Administration owes the American public answers on the true cost of the war in Iran.

BREAKING: Trump's consumer watchdog let a subprime auto lender off the hook for trapping customers with built-to-fail loans. But a coalition of bipartisan state AGs took up the case — and they just WON $700 million in relief for Americans.

Diesel prices are at historic highs, shattering previous records nearly every day and forcing my constituents to pay more to heat their homes. The reason: An incompetent President who single-handedly raised energy prices with his reckless war in Iran. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/18/b...

Republicans control the House and the Senate – if they wanted, we could be taking action to respond to these alarming escalations right now. Instead, House Republicans are headed home. In this moment that requires real leadership, they're abandoning ship.

Climate change is getting worse and energy costs are skyrocketing. Yet Trump spent $4 billion in taxpayer dollars to kill offshore wind projects that deliver affordable clean energy and well-paying jobs. We need clean energy now—let's say Yes to Wind.

Presidents with nothing to hide don’t ban reporters. But this President is historically corrupt—so he has a LOT to hide. Stand up for the Free Press. Every leader should condemn this.

Travelers shouldn't pay fortunes in fees for carry-on bags or choosing their seat, which cost airlines less than the inflated fees they charge. My FAIR Fees Act would slash excessive fees, enact cost-saving protections & put consumers first instead of airline billionaires.

Today, we honor those brave Americans service members who have been held as prisoners of war or remain missing in action. On POW/MIA Day, let us all take a moment to remember their service and sacrifice as we continue to stand with those families still waiting for answers.

Our nation’s veterans know the true cost of war better than anyone. We’ve already lost 18 U.S. servicemembers to Trump’s war of choice in Iran. Today, I joined Wisconsin veterans to call for an end to this war.

Trump doesn't care about rising gas prices, because it doesn’t affect him or his rich friends. But for families trying to afford rent and groceries, it's everything.

To kick off Hispanic Heritage Month, I visited Centro Romero to observe their great work helping refugees and immigrants make a better life in America. Illinois is home to some of America’s most vibrant Hispanic communities, and it was my pleasure to celebrate their contributions today.

Trump is once again trying to use the power of the presidency to punish a free press, now banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. That is the behavior of an authoritarian, and we must defend the press’ right to hold those in power accountable.

For too many Minnesota families, child care is just not affordable or not available. In some cases, it can cost as much as a mortgage. Child care can be the difference between being able to take a job or not, and it is essential for our economy, for children, and for parents.

The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure and a key economic engine for Virginia. Trump’s decision to roll back policy that has helped clean up and protect the Bay is a terrible step back for Virginia’s gorgeous landscapes and our economy.

We all know the anxiety of spending a small fortune on a plane ticket knowing plans change. It doesn’t have to be that way. My Cash Refunds for Cancellations Act would protect the right to a refund up to 2 days before a flight & stop airlines from taking off with people's cash.

A good energy job doesn’t just power our homes and our economy — it powers the American dream. My Good Energy Jobs Act would make sure federal energy investments benefit the workers and communities that build energy projects, not just the companies developing them.

Trump is withholding the $257 million Congress allocated to renovate the Kennedy Center. Instead, he’s shutting it down because he can’t put his name on the building. Why is the president more focused on naming monuments after his own ego than he is on governing?

New reporting now shows that this support from China may have directly contributed to the deaths of American servicemembers. The provision of targeting information by China to help Iran kill American servicemembers should be something even President Trump cannot tolerate.

Is it $38 BILLION? $40 BILLION? More? What is the true cost of Trump's illegal war? It's a simple question, but this regime won't give us a straight answer. The lack of transparency is unacceptable. Senate Democrats are demanding the truth. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

We shouldn’t be footing the bill for Big Tech when 75% of Americans oppose data center buildout. The Senate must put meaningful protections in place. My Protecting Communities from Data Center Impacts Act will rein in Big Tech’s expensive pollution bombs.
