Sec. Driscoll’s resignation leaves the Army without its top civilian or uniformed leadership and its officer ranks gutted by Sec. Hegseth. The Trump admin’s infighting and culture wars have strained our military and impeded its ability to win on the battlefield.

Back to school means new opportunities, clubs, and classmates! But, as a parent, it also means doctor's appointments, physical exams, and hearing and vision tests. Every kid deserves to show up to school healthy and ready to learn. That's what MediKids is all about.

Weaponizing government against news coverage you don’t like is right out of the authoritarian playbook. This is America. Freedom of the press and freedom of speech were the first bricks laid in our country’s foundation.

Under this administration, the thousands of Wisconsin families who rely on Head Start have been dealing with total chaos. It has to stop. Today, I was in Wausau to hear about how critical this childcare program is for our Wisconsin communities.

The White House, the Kennedy Center, Yosemite National Park — these symbols of America do not belong to any one person, they belong to the people. Trump's attempts to desecrate them only show what a small, narcissistic man he is.

As Trump doubles down on his trade war: inflation is raging, families are struggling, small businesses are closing. @democrats.senate.gov have fought Trump's tariffs at every turn, and we will fight to pass the End Trump Tariff Act to finally free Americans from his tariff tax.

U.S. tax dollars should not be misused by the Pentagon to boost Sec. Hegseth’s personal views or amplify his partisan political messaging. DOD exists to defend the nation, not to advance any partisan agenda. Congress must fully investigate this unlawful and unethical action.

Red card holders are Forest Service staff with training and experience to help fight wildfires outside of their full-time jobs. They are the backbone of any wildfire response. Trump pushed out and fired THOUSANDS of them. Save the Forest Service. Save our forests.

Using AI-generated images to depict fake military action and pretend our servicemembers are in harm's way is insulting and alarming to our troops stationed in the region and their families. Trump doesn't think about anyone but himself.

“Lower prices on day one” has to be one of the most blatant and audacious lies ever told by a Presidential candidate in the history of this country. Georgia is now paying over $4,000 per household in tariffs. Outrageous.

As our national debt sets new records, I’m cosponsoring the Billionaires Income Tax Act. It'll raise $50 billion every year to cut our deficit and fund critical priorities—while only impacting one out of every 400,000 Americans. We can't leave this crisis to our children.
