We need to break down employment barriers for people in recovery. My legislation with @jayapal.house.gov and @repricklarsen.bsky.social will strengthen community partnerships and connect people with jobs, support, and mentorship—supporting lasting recovery and helping communities heal.

A Vermont cheesemaker lost nearly $1 million in Canadian sales last year because of President Trump’s tariffs. This is happening all over the country, it’s choking our small businesses.

Trump dismissed concerns about our service members’ well-being on the USS Lincoln, calling it “fake news.” 8 attempted suicide. Our service members and their families deserve accountability from this administration.

Delawareans are worried about what AI and massive data centers mean for their communities. Their fears are real. We should lead the world in AI and compete with China, but we can’t let a couple billionaires decide what happens to the rest of us.

No child in our country should go hungry, but red tape is preventing many military children from getting nutritious meals at school. That's why I introduced the Military Dependents School Meal Eligibility Act to ensure military children are no longer excluded from school meal assistance programs.

Thank you to Brent and Jane for welcoming me to your farm, and to all the farmers who took the time to share what’s happening in Minnesota. I am grateful for this chance to listen and promise to bring your stories back with me to Washington.

Visiting with farmers in Lamberton today and their message was clear. Producers need stability and consistency so they can plan for the next season, not more chaotic trade wars and price hikes due to the war in Iran.

Artificial intelligence is at a tipping point. Experts are telling us the dire consequences of inaction. That’s why I’ve reintroduced legislation with @bennet.senate.gov to establish an independent agency to protect Americans from the harms of AI.

ICE has way more money than it needs and it's wasting even that funding. This agency is way overdue for oversight and accountability and only a Democratic majority will deliver on that.

The U.S. strike on the Iranian elementary school was the deadliest American military targeting error of the 21st century in terms of child casualties. Horrific. This war needs to end – now.

Donald Trump’s agenda has failed. His attempts to cheat will fail. And the voters will hold him accountable for all of it in November.

The MAGA SCOTUS strikes again, putting its thumb on the scale for Trump’s election-rigging agenda Elon Musk’s DOGE-overhauled SAVE database is ridden with errors. With this decision, thousands of American voters could be wrongly stripped from voter rolls & prevented from voting this election season

The human toll of this war is more than any of us could've imagined. Eight servicemembers across the USS Lincoln Strike Force attempted to take their own lives—and we wouldn't have known unless we pushed for answers. It's long past time for a public hearing on Trump's war.

We need a cop on the beat to protect the safety of the American people from the risks of AI. That’s why I’m introducing an independent agency to oversee AI innovation and ensure Big Tech companies play by the rules.

Jack Smith investigated Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, yet for months, Senate Republicans refused to allow him to testify about what he found. I look forward to hearing what Mr. Smith has to say on Tuesday.

Our electric co-ops keep the lights on for communities across Minnesota and the country. We need to make it easier for them to do their job – including cutting red tape so they can deploy new energy sources and modernize the grid. That’s one way we lower energy costs.

Your tax dollars should pay for health care and schools. Not political ads for Trump. Pull it down.

Instead of lowering healthcare costs or gas prices, Trump is spending YOUR tax dollars on an illegal, blatantly political ad. He knows how unpopular he is — and now he is using your money to try to change your mind. Corrupt & illegal.

President Xi has been providing weapons and intelligence support to Iran against the U.S. In return, Trump rolls out the red carpet for him and meets him plane-side. Absolutely ridiculous.

ICE remains out of control. In Evanston, Trump’s maskless agents slammed an innocent man to the ground before realizing they had the wrong guy. Republicans silence speaks volumes.

Chinese cars are driving spy machines, and the video, lidar and geolocation data they collect all goes back to Beijing. Our bill stops these cars from entering the United States and protects our national security.
