Happy birthday to the brave men and women of the United States Air Force who defend our skies. Aim High!

Donald Trump’s promise of $5,000 checks sounds like a bribe to me. Instead of making promises he won’t keep, he should focus on actually making life more affordable for Americans by ending his stupid tariffs and illegal wars that drive up costs.

Our veterans deserve accessible, high-quality care. I joined veterans and local leaders to demand answers on the Trump administration's closure of the Schenectady VA clinic, which disrupted care for over 1,500 veterans.

American families are facing the highest health care premiums ever, and double-digit rate hikes. Yet here's RFK Jr. talking about chemtrails at an event hosted by a group whose purpose is to spread conspiracy theories about vaccines—theories that are getting kids killed.

Our Russia sanctions legislation will put pressure on Vladimir Putin to come to the table and end this awful war in Ukraine. To all of our adversaries: there are consequences for violating international law.

Nowhere is Trump's lie that he would focus only on the 'worst of the worst' clearer than his assault on TPS. TPS holders are here legally, they’re vetted, & they contribute to our communities. America is a nation of immigrants. Trump's attacks on them are cruel & un-American.

It was an honor to speak at the National Service Summit about my path to public service. Service should not be synonymous with sacrifice. We must continue to create fruitful opportunities for people to serve their communities. 1/2

We're in the midst of an illegal war that's costing Americans $1 billion a day. Gas is over $4/gallon. AI companies are warning of threats to humanity. And the President is trying to demolish the Kennedy Center because he can't put his name on it. Sums up the Trump era.

We need to take action on AI. I’ve been calling for guardrails for years and I’m working across the aisle in the Senate to put strong safeguards in place. We need to act NOW. https://ow.ly/q2Xe50ZOZsR

Karim Daoud was detained by ICE on the same day he went to pick up work authorization documents. He was then held in the Elizabeth Detention Facility for over 9 months. It is a testament to his community that he is home with his children today.

Today is Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. My great grandmother came from Poland with nothing but the hope of a better life. I still have her citizenship papers. That's the story of so many American families. We’ve always been a country of immigrants. No one can change that.

I want these rules in place because sports is about any given Saturday. It’s not about whether you have a billionaire in your backyard. It’s about whether you can coach, recruit, have academic performance, & have fairness. But that fairness does not exist today without this bill.

A sickening reminder that hateful rhetoric will never be just rhetoric. Words that attack or belittle people over the color of their skin can also incite the most brutal attacks, especially when they are given official sanction. What an absolute, unmitigated travesty.

At a time when Trump’s economy is already unaffordable, the dream of home ownership is only getting further out of reach. We have to end the administration’s harmful tariffs and unwanted war with Iran and start bringing down costs for working families. www.wsj.com/economy/hous...

We all know Trump's $5,000 checks aren't coming. But Democrats had a bill to END Trump's tariffs and actually save families money. Republicans blocked it.

For nearly 40 hours, residents in Frederick watched an ICE operation unfold in their neighborhood — one that turned violent and included attempts to intimidate those who spoke up. Marylanders care about their neighbors. There is no place for ICE's cruelty in our communities.

It's never been more clear to me how badly we need a solution to the healthcare crisis we're in. That's why I introduced MediKids – to put forward a solution that eases the burden. We can and should ensure healthcare doesn't leave families in crippling debt.

Folks in Georgia are lucky to have a fighter like @ossoff.bsky.social who is standing up to this Administration’s corruption and fighting to lower costs for families. And after talking to so many of them, I know they’ll do everything they can to re-elect him and help us take back the Senate.

If the President can't put his name on it, he is willing to close it or destroy it. He cares more about branding our institutions than preserving them. Congress allocated $257 million to repair the Kennedy Center. It should insist that work be done properly.

Do my Republican colleagues want future Democratic Presidents to refuse to send disaster aid to states that don't elect Democratic Senators? Trump has already weaponized disaster aid and refused help to blue states over politics. This is simply unforgivable.

On this day in 1787, our founders signed the U.S. Constitution—and its ideals have guided us closer to equality in the years since. But there's more work to do, particularly when it comes to enshrining equal rights protections for women in that pivotal, living document.

The EPA is literally testing your drinking water for medication abortion. It's not because the science says we should—it's to make anti-abortion extremists happy. I won't let these radicals hijack the EPA, and I'll be pushing for answers.

Whether it's the use of data to track patients traveling for reproductive care or its abuse by ICE officials to conduct searches without warrants, the improper use of Flock camera data is dangerous and creating an uproar.

No bombs for Saudi Arabia. No nukes for Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is a known violator of human rights and an instigator for the crisis in Yemen. I introduced a joint resolution of disapproval to stop Trump's sale of 10,000 bombs to the Saudis.

I have a different view. Fossil fuel funded Trump’s campaign. They’re on his team. Blocking low-cost clean energy drives grids to their expensive power plants, sending billions in ratepayer dollars to big Trump donors. It’s a massive scam pumping money from ratepayers to donors.

Americans shouldn't go broke to afford the insulin they need. We must take action to lower the cost of insulin so that no one has to make impossible choices just to pay for this life-saving medicine. I’m going to keep fighting for the bipartisan INSULIN Act to do just that.
