Health care prices are rising across the board. Yesterday, I spoke with Elise, a Granite State student with Type 1 diabetes about my INSULIN Act and what it would mean to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs to $35 a month.

@markruffalo.bsky.social and @matthewstoller.bsky.social are exactly right. This fight isn't over. We need to block this merger and break up monopolies everywhere.

Stop two on my western MN rural economy tour: Lake Benton. I was at Bolt’s Grocery, owned by Kelly & Bill Bolt. With groceries and a cafe, it is a gathering place for all. With the fishing opener Saturday we had to check out the minnow tank! Like I said, they’ve got it all.

Trump started this war and Arizona families are paying for it every day. Gas is up 52%. $1.56 more a gallon since the start of the war in February and nobody in this administration can tell you when it ends.

President Trump has decimated Colorado's public lands workforce. Our forests drive our outdoor rec economy and provide clean drinking water for millions of people. Gutting the workforce that manages these critical resources puts all of us at risk, especially as we head into peak fire season.

Everywhere I travel across Wisconsin, I hear from families who are being crushed by the high cost of housing. I had a great discussion with leaders in Eau Claire about how our bipartisan bill will help bring down housing costs and rein in corporate landlords from buying up single-family homes.

Under Pete Hegseth, military plans aren't the only thing leaking. They knew about a jet fuel leak contaminating Chesapeake Bay for MONTHS and covered it up. It's not enough to put our service members at risk, they're putting people and crops in harms way here at home as well.

Hantavirus is the latest virus outbreak in the news right now. I promise you it won't be the last. It's not a question of IF there will be another pandemic, it's a question of WHEN. Americans need to realize Trump is razing our public health infrastructure to the ground.

The cost of housing has skyrocketed in the Granite State, making it harder for families to find a home they can afford. I visited the Villages at Craft Hill, which is a great example of the type of solutions we need to increase access to affordable housing in rural New Hampshire.

In 1988, my buddies and I opened up Colorado’s first brewpub in what was then an undeveloped LoDo in Denver. It took a lot of grit, determination, and long hours, but we had a vision for what we could be. Starting a small biz takes guts – lucky for us we had plenty of liquid courage! (2/3)

Had a great visit with Boilermakers Local 627. These apprentices are learning the trades that keep this country running. Trump’s infrastructure cuts hit workers like these hard. Arizona’s growth is picking up the slack, but the federal government should have their back too.

The Trump family crypto project quietly cashed in while regular investors got stuck holding the bag. Any crypto legislation that doesn’t shut down this presidential corruption and protect investors isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

This shortsighted decision by FDA will turbocharge nicotine addiction & rollback progress made in reducing youth tobacco use. We know flavored products draw in young people, there is no excuse for enacting contradictory measures—exacerbating disease & death in a new generation.

Big tech companies are building massive, energy-guzzling data centers to power their AI models. And rather than paying for the cost of new infrastructure to accommodate those data centers, some of the richest companies are passing those costs onto you. You shouldn't be subsidizing AI data centers.

Gas is almost $5. Trump’s Big Oil donors are making $30 MILLION PER HOUR. And they’re laughing in our faces all the way to the bank. Just another reason we must immediately end this war.
