President Trump has threatened and intimidated law firms, universities and political opponents -- including calling for myself and others to be arrested and hanged. And now for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to be arrested. It's weaponization, and it is right out of the authoritarian playbook.

American families are spending more than ever just to get by, and this administration thinks that's a GOOD thing? Just when we thought they couldn't get more out of touch.

With energy prices spiking as a direct result of the President’s war in Iran, it was great to visit Brayton Energy in Hampton to see firsthand how their innovative clean technologies can fight climate change, expand our energy supply and lower costs.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the educators who go above and beyond for our kids. My mom was a teacher and I saw firsthand the dedication it takes. Let’s thank our teachers and make sure they have the support they need.

Delawareans shouldn’t have to wait hours in an ER to get care. That’s why I hosted a roundtable with health care leaders to discuss what’s driving these delays and how we can expand emergency rooms, strengthen our workforce, and invest in community care.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I'm proud to be a public school kid representing NJ. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the teachers and educators who shaped my path along the way. To all the teachers out there, thank you for all you do for NJ and this country!

What happened to radical transparency? What happened to going wherever the science leads us? Trump is putting our public health at risk by burying basic studies telling us that vaccines are safe and effective because it doesn't align with RFK Jr.’s junk science priorities.

The American people are tired of paying for Trump's chaos. We're ready to flip the Senate blue and elect leaders who will lower costs for families, not enrich Trump's billionaire buddies.

It’s simpler: by stalling clean energy, he forces the grid up the “generation stack” to expensive fossil fuel plants, which raises costs; the effect is to send billions of ratepayer dollars to his big fossil fuel donors. A) Corruption, and B) You paid for it.

Average gas prices are $4.50 per gallon. Gas prices are up 50% since the start of Trump’s war with Iran. And remember, Senate Republicans have voted 6 times to continue Trump’s war. End the war. Lower costs.

Diabetes often is the most expensive chronic condition—I’m hoping to change that. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would cap monthly out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35, ensuring families across the country can afford the lifesaving medication they need.

Trump’s delusional claim that Ukraine is “militarily defeated” spouts Putin’s propaganda. The Russian people see through it. So do Ukrainians. They’re standing strong & pushing back—& could actually prevail, with sufficient support from the U.S. & Europe.

A reckless trade war. Fertilizer prices are through the roof. Rising input costs. Our farmers are the backbone of so many communities across Wisconsin, and this administration is making their lives so much harder. www.wpr.org/news/steep-f...

No worker should be left fighting for the basic right to a safe job. That's why I co-sponsored @sanders.senate.gov's and @baldwin.senate.gov's Protecting America's Workers Act. We need to have the backs of all workers, in every corner of our country and across every industry.

Lutnick just can't get his story straight about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — from back in February, where I first got him to admit he had lied about their connection, to today. What is he hiding? Why does his story keep changing? The American people deserve the truth.

We spent yesterday listening to constituents facing a wave of rising costs—from health care and housing to gas and groceries. And yet Republicans are laser-focused on billions for a ballroom and ICE. They need to get serious.

There is no excuse to oppose the Major Richard Star Act—veterans support it, a majority of the Senate supports it, Sec. Hegseth supports it. I will move again for a vote on this critical legislation that removes the wounded veteran tax imposed on brave combat-injured veterans.

Happy #NationalNursesDay to all the hardworking nurses across the State of Washington. Thank you to WA members of the Association of Women's Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses who met with me last week. I am proud to support you for everything you do to help keep Washingtonians healthy.

On National Nurse Day, we thank our nurses who show up every day to care for our communities. Day in and day out, our nurses navigate a health care system in crisis: rural hospitals closing their doors, Medicaid under attack, families bankrupted by medical bills.

Trump's bank regulators are finally realizing that consumer fraud is a problem for the financial system. Huh, I wonder if there's a federal agency designed to stop consumers from getting scammed? Oh wait, there is, the CFPB — and the Trump Administration is trying to destroy it.

The President’s campaign of fear and intimidation continues. As if he has not done enough already to turn the lives of election workers in Fulton County upside down. What will it take to get Republican lawmakers in Congress to speak out before no one is willing to work at polling places?

"It's their fertilizer that's stranded, not our fertilizer." Try telling this to the majority of American farmers who can't afford the fertilizer they need because the Strait is closed. It’s a global commodity, of course it impacts us.

Gas prices are insane right now. Danielle, an Uber and Lyft driver in South Carolina, went from paying $25 per fill up to $40 or more. Money directly out of her wallet, her take home pay. We're drowning in this war tax.

I spoke with health care providers in Ellensburg, and here's what I know: Medicaid cuts mean more uninsured patients and tougher margins for rural hospitals already stretched thin. It's not an accident—it was a GOP policy decision. We need a Congress that will repeal the cuts.

Women’s access to this safe, effective drug should not be up for debate. Period. Judges and the government need to leave women and their health care alone.
