We need to make sure we're investing in our greatest asset: the next generation. In New Mexico, we’ve done some incredible things over the last few years, but we’re just getting started. I joined NM Voices for Children and W.K. Kellogg Foundation to discuss what we can improve and how I can help.

We cannot wait for AI companies to self-regulate. They are raising every alarm. Congress must act this week to meet the rapidly developing threat landscape posed by AI. Let’s take bipartisan action NOW to meet this moment.

I met with health care leaders in Dawson about the telehealth technology they are using to support rural EMS teams. With support from federal funding, this innovation is helping providers in rural communities deliver better, timely care when patients need it most.

Trump is using crypto to cash in on the presidency—selling access to the highest bidder & raking in the money from foreign governments. We need strong legislation that ends this self-dealing & corruption—not half measures like the Clarity Act.

Deploying federal agents to local polling places won’t make our elections any safer. But what it will do is cause chaos and stop eligible voters from casting their ballots. We can’t let that happen.

Voting by mail is safe, simple, and secure. Folks in red and blue states alike have voted by mail for decades—it’s a system that works. I’ll fight like hell to protect it.

The Violence Against Women Act officially became law 32 years ago today, helping ensure survivors of domestic and sexual violence have the resources needed to protect themselves and recover from abuse. This fight isn't over. I remain committed to supporting all survivors.

MediKids would raise the bar for what raising healthy kids looks like in our society. Guaranteed mental health, dental, and vision coverage for all kids with automatic enrollment at birth. The ability to go to the doctor when you're sick. That's what MediKids is all about.

This administration says their tariffs on Canada will bring back American manufacturing. They won't. Smart industrial policy—like the CHIPS Act—and real cooperation with Canada are what actually build a stronger North American economy that can compete with China.

I wanted to hear very clearly from Secretary Hegseth and from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs that they would not respond to an illegal order and deploy the uniformed military at polling locations. Chairman Caine came back and said that very clearly.

Trump wants to kick kids experiencing homelessness out of Head Start while using more of your tax dollars for war. The public comment period on his cruel rule is NOW. Speak out and help SAVE Head Start.

Flight attendants have the right to organize a union without intimidation or interference. I've received reports that Delta threatened pay and benefits, and encouraged new workers to report colleagues for even mentioning a union. I'm pushing back against union-busting tactics.

This past month we went all around Colorado, from the Front Range, to the Eastern Plains, to the Western Slope, and everywhere in between. Hearing from Coloradans and taking their stories back to Washington is the most powerful form of representation.

Julie Paidar lost her husband, firefighter Mike Paidar, to a service-related cancer. After Mike’s passing, we worked together to pass the bipartisan Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act, which provides real support to the families of firefighters lost to service-related cancers.

More than a voluntary system of independent auditors is necessary for AI oversight. It must be a statutorily established regimen, with power to determine whether models & new products are safe & effective, just as independent scientists are authorized to do under the FDA. 1/

Should America spend YOUR taxpayer dollars on foreign wars no one supports or child care here at home? That's exactly what I asked folks in Port Townsend, and the answer was unanimous. Fund child care NOT war.

In August, we stopped the Clarity Act, but when the Senate returns this week the crypto industry & their Republican flunkies in Congress will try again. As is, this bill does nothing to stop Trump's crypto corruption or the use of crypto by bad actors. We can't let this pass.

I had a great time touring New Mexico Youth Challenge Academy and hearing from cadets about their experience in the program. I was proud to secure $87.5 million in increased funding that will allow the NMYCA and others like it to continue to make a difference for generations of students to come.

AI is unlike any technology we've seen before. Once it becomes fully dangerous, it won't care whether you're Chinese or American. We can't afford to wait three years to act, we have to move now to regulate it.

I spend a lot of time at Section 60 in Arlington, visiting friends I lost in Iraq. Now Trump wants an ugly arch within view of that sacred ground. This isn't about liking the guy. It's January 6th. It's the DOJ. It's putting his name on the Kennedy Center. None of it earns a monument.

Republicans passed the largest cuts to Medicaid in history—putting basically every hospital in America under tremendous pressure all to make room for billionaire tax cuts. I was at Harborview to talk with providers about how these cuts make it harder to care for patients.

Great to be at Grant Ascheman’s farm outside Holloway with his family and neighboring farmers. Grant has farmed with his dad his whole life, and their family has been farming this land since the 1960s.

As diesel breaks through $6 a gallon for farmers, Trump wings off in his Qatari “Grift Force One” 747 to Ireland, and: “The real point of Trump’s visit is to showcase his Irish resort.”

Trump is spewing his same old empty promises. He promised $2/gallon gas back in 2024. Instead, he delivered $4/gallon gas, record-high diesel prices, and another endless war. The American people can see through his desperate lies.

Glad to visit Camp Johnson for the groundbreaking of a new center that’ll provide financial, legal, and health services to Vermont National Guard families. I worked with @sanders.senate.gov to secure $2 million for this project that honors the sacrifices of service members and their families.

On a flight the other day, someone left me a note sharing how hard it is for young people right now. So many of them are frustrated because they can’t even imagine a future where they can afford a home or a family. This has to change.

If Democrats take the majority, it's not enough for us to go back to the status quo before Trump came into office. We need to have a bold agenda like Medicare for All that will dramatically reduce costs and improve the lives of Americans.

Judge Berner's decision is a sobering read. Trump's mass detention agenda "harkens back to some of the darkest moments in our country’s history," including the internment of Japanese people during WWII. 9 Appellate Courts have now shot down this lawless policy. SCOTUS should too.
