Students across the country are at risk of losing access to the school meals they count on to stay healthy. The reason? Republicans cut billions in SNAP funding so America's wealthiest could pay less taxes. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/09/02/r...

AI's rapid advancement could deliver immense opportunities. But this is a real warning and we need to take it seriously. We need clear guardrails to ensure AI is developed and used safely, ethically, and in the public interest.

According to the UN, global temperature rise will exceed the 1.5°C (2.7°F) “tipping point” threshold that will only lead to worse floods, wildfires, and storms. Our challenge is clear: we need to rapidly reduce fossil fuel emissions to ensure a livable future for our planet.

Henderson is proof that small towns can grow and rebuild. We helped to flood-proof their highway and the work just got done. Great place to visit in the fall to see their hummingbird center and garden, bike trail, nature center, and much more! https://ow.ly/M9E850ZLAJh

Yesterday, I cut the ribbon on a brand new VA outpatient clinic in Hampton Roads. It’s great news for Virginia’s vibrant veteran population, but we need to make sure this administration stops shrinking the VA workforce.

Trump promised American workers a 'golden age' but he delivered another Gilded Age for billionaires & big corporations. In the post-WWII era, working people have never gotten a smaller share than today. Meanwhile, Trump & his buddies have never had it so good.

A USPS whistleblower has confirmed what we all know to be true: President Trump's move to restrict mail-in ballots will make it harder for U.S. citizens to vote. I know that Granite Staters and all Americans are not going to let these kinds of tricks stand in the way of making their voices heard.

Trump is using the power of the U.S. government to give a private company 100-year rights to Venezuelan oil, while the Pentagon gets a stake in the company. Secretary Hegseth is failing in Iran, so we're going to put him in charge of an oil company too? www.cnbc.com/2026/09/05/t...

President Trump’s tariffs have already cost American families as much as $5,000 in some states, and his senseless trade war with Canada will only grow that number. @slotkin.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov

Trump wants to raid an underfunded child care program with HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of families already on waiting lists to give money EXCLUSIVELY to married parents. Sorry, did single parents stop paying taxes? It’s NOT 1950—I'll be fighting to stop this grift.

Anyone still denying the risks posed by unregulated AI should read this thread. It’s time to pump the brakes & take action NOW. We need: - Mandatory safeguards - A comprehensive testing regime - Urgent dialogue with China, before & during President Xi's visit to DC this month

Mail-in voting is safe and secure. The Constitution gives Congress and the states authority over federal elections. Not the President. It’s why I joined my colleagues in filing a brief challenging President Trump’s executive order and the USPS rule seeking to control how mail-in ballots are handled.

Even if there was a 1% chance AI could wipe out human life, we should be pumping the brakes to make sure we have the proper safeguards in place, not racing blindly into disaster. It's time for Congress to step in and find the balance between safety and innovation, before it's too late.

Oil just went back up to $100 per barrel as the fighting in Trump’s illegal Iran war intensifies. That means even higher gas and diesel prices are back for Americans. All for Trump’s endless, unwinnable war. The only way out of this is to end the war, now. Not another nickel.

If we are smart enough to create such powerful AI, then we are smart enough to regulate it. America can meet the moment, but the clock is ticking. Congress needs to step up and move NOW to protect American lives and safeguard our future.

I know there’s a lot of news every week, but this one deserves some real pause: In Germany, Chinese owned car companies only entered the market in 2021. Today, they own around 8% of the market. As a result, Volkswagen, is cutting 50,000 jobs. 50,000.

“GEO Group and the Trump administration right now are making a choice: to gain by making others suffer. But it is not their choice to make.” I’ve been back to Delaney Hall many times to check on the people inside. I wrote about what we must do to shut this detention center down for good.

If Waltz & Trump are serious about ending the war in Sudan, they should stop US arms sales to countries sending weapons that fuel it. When I offered legislation to do so, Republicans blocked it, saying the admin was opposed. Talk is cheap, use your power to stop the killing.

NEW: Bloomberg's editorial board said the Trump White House is "courting a banking crisis." They describe how Trump's regulators are “reducing supervision and encouraging the kind of leverage that can make failures, contagion and bailouts more likely."
