Today we celebrated the Merriam Junction Regional Trail which will connect Carver and Scott counties and bring visitors right into downtown Carver. The outdoors are a way of life in our state and this trail shares the legacy with the next generation.

Trump's reckless trade war with Canada is ANOTHER hit to your wallet. It's time for Trump to end the chaos, get back to the negotiation table, and put working families first.

From President Trump’s tariff taxes to his war with Iran, he has made it harder for small businesses to get by. Today, I spoke with local business leaders in East Peoria to discuss what Congress can do to protect them from this Administration’s chaos.

Our Made in Wisconsin economy would be nothing without the grit and hard work of our union workers. It was good to stand with workers in Madison and Milwaukee to celebrate Labor Fest and honor their fight for fair wages, good benefits, and the right to be heard in the workplace.

This from the man who betrayed his country by conspiring to overturn a presidential election. Giuliani is a traitor to our democracy. Mayor Mamdani champions it. Giuliani’s diatribe was full of blatant anti-Muslim rhetoric & it should be called out & condemned. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/06/n...

Trump picked a tit-for-tat trade war with Canada. Now American families, farmers, and businesses are stuck paying the price.

Our nation’s historical institutions are better because of Lonnie Bunch, whom I’m proud to call a friend. A list of his many accomplishments deserves its own plaque in the Smithsonian. While Lonnie will step down at the end of the year, no Administration will ever be able to erase his legacy.

They can lie and call it whatever they want but the American people know the truth: Donald Trump got us into an endless WAR that has caused skyrocketing prices at home while putting our servicemembers in danger abroad. We must end this war immediately.

Right now, a middle-class nurse pays a higher payroll tax rate than a highly-paid CEO. That's wrong. It's time to protect Social Security by scrapping the cap so higher-income earners and wealthy investors pay their fair share—preventing benefits cuts for everyone.

Every day, I hear from Virginians struggling with rising costs. How does renaming New Mexico “New America” bring down prices? We need lower costs, not more distractions.

Libraries are at the heart of our communities. It was wonderful to visit the new Daland Memorial Library and see how Mont Vernon’s years of hard work have created a space that will serve Granite Staters for generations.

Trump's corruption has infected nearly every aspect of American life. From our economy to our national security, we are worse off & less safe because of it. Thank you to my friend @merkley.senate.gov for helping us shine a light on the most corrupt presidency in American history.

In the last few summers, Southern Nevada has seen long stretches of days over 100°F, record-breaking temperatures, and, sadly, hundreds of deaths from heat-related causes. As a result of these extreme heat waves, Nevadans are paying sky-high prices just to keep their homes cool.

A pretty incredible view of a project we fought for over a decade to make a reality. SunZia is delivering clean energy from New Mexico across the West — helping power homes, businesses, & communities. After 18 years of work to get here, seeing it from a Black Hawk today was pretty special.

When I’m on the road across Virginia, I’m always on the hunt for a great peanut noodle, so I had to stop at Vang Go Bistro in Norfolk today — the noodles & dumplings were delicious! Virginia has the BEST small businesses with the kindest teams. Stop by if you’re in HRVA!

Labor Day isn’t just one day, it’s every day. I wouldn’t be here without unions. Unions made the Zenith underground iron ore mine on the Range where my grandpa worked safe. Unions gave my mom good wages as a teacher. Unions gave my dad his career with benefits through the newspaper guild.

The consequences of Trump’s reckless trade war are going to be very real for Wisconsin manufacturers and family farmers – folks being laid off, wages frozen, and our economy taking a toll. The president needs to stop gambling with people’s livelihoods.

Finally some European countries are going beyond the ritual denouncing of expanding illegal Israeli settlements & are taking action to uphold international law. It is a modest but important step. While the Trump admin attacks the move, Congress can & must act.

Protecting the Department of Education has to be a priority. So does slashing federal funding for vouchers, increasing teacher pay, tackling student absenteeism, and building out workforce training programs. How do we afford it? Let's start by eliminating Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires.

Trump is moving ahead with plans for his Triumphal Arch. But what triumph are we celebrating? America is trapped in a war with no end in sight, while families are paying more for everything from gas to groceries to health care.

Last week, it wasn't even a "war" according to Trump. Before that, he's said dozens of times that Iran was totally defeated already. Trump is making it all up as he goes because he has no idea what he's doing — and it's raising your costs and making our country less safe.

Every 2 minutes, American consumers pay $1 MILLION more in fuel costs, thanks to Trump's illegal war in Iran. Meanwhile, our billionaire president calls higher gas prices "peanuts" & says they're a "very small price to pay" for his failed war. This war needs to end NOW.

I heard from fishermen and port officials in Bellingham who said their gear costs more: nets, lines, parts, and DIESEL. And relationships with Canada—their buyers and ports—are a LOT more difficult in the middle of Trump's trade war. END Trump's tariffs. END Trump's war with Iran.

I grew up poor, but I was lucky enough to get a good education, make it to Harvard, and become a U.S. Senator. Every kid deserves that same fair shot. That’s what I'm fighting for: a public school system that works no matter who you are or where you’re born. Let's get to work.

Thousands of Salvadoran TPS recipients call NV home and keep our workforce and economy strong. If the Admin doesn't extend their protected status tomorrow, thousands of Nevadans will be at risk for deportation — tearing apart families, destroying communities, and hurting our whole economy.

I joined @duckworth.senate.gov in demanding that FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford immediately give air traffic controllers the Congressionally authorized pay raise they deserve. This money has been held up for 4 months & continuing to do so will only weaken retention & undermine aviation safety.
