Gas prices are now the highest they’ve been in 4 years. We need to end Trump’s reckless war in Iran and lower costs for families, now.

New Yorkers want lower costs for their families, not their taxpayer dollars spent on a new ballroom for Trump.

President Trump has threatened and intimidated law firms, universities and political opponents -- including calling for myself and others to be arrested and hanged. And now for @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social to be arrested. It's weaponization, and it is right out of the authoritarian playbook.

American families are spending more than ever just to get by, and this administration thinks that's a GOOD thing? Just when we thought they couldn't get more out of touch.

With energy prices spiking as a direct result of the President’s war in Iran, it was great to visit Brayton Energy in Hampton to see firsthand how their innovative clean technologies can fight climate change, expand our energy supply and lower costs.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the educators who go above and beyond for our kids. My mom was a teacher and I saw firsthand the dedication it takes. Let’s thank our teachers and make sure they have the support they need.

Delawareans shouldn’t have to wait hours in an ER to get care. That’s why I hosted a roundtable with health care leaders to discuss what’s driving these delays and how we can expand emergency rooms, strengthen our workforce, and invest in community care.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I'm proud to be a public school kid representing NJ. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the teachers and educators who shaped my path along the way. To all the teachers out there, thank you for all you do for NJ and this country!

What happened to radical transparency? What happened to going wherever the science leads us? Trump is putting our public health at risk by burying basic studies telling us that vaccines are safe and effective because it doesn't align with RFK Jr.’s junk science priorities.

The American people are tired of paying for Trump's chaos. We're ready to flip the Senate blue and elect leaders who will lower costs for families, not enrich Trump's billionaire buddies.

It’s simpler: by stalling clean energy, he forces the grid up the “generation stack” to expensive fossil fuel plants, which raises costs; the effect is to send billions of ratepayer dollars to his big fossil fuel donors. A) Corruption, and B) You paid for it.

Average gas prices are $4.50 per gallon. Gas prices are up 50% since the start of Trump’s war with Iran. And remember, Senate Republicans have voted 6 times to continue Trump’s war. End the war. Lower costs.

Diabetes often is the most expensive chronic condition—I’m hoping to change that. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would cap monthly out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35, ensuring families across the country can afford the lifesaving medication they need.

Trump’s delusional claim that Ukraine is “militarily defeated” spouts Putin’s propaganda. The Russian people see through it. So do Ukrainians. They’re standing strong & pushing back—& could actually prevail, with sufficient support from the U.S. & Europe.

While you are struggling to put food on the table, health care and housing become more unattainable, and gas prices are soaring, Washington Republicans are focused on pleasing Trump by funding his vanity project. That is unfair to you. They need to focus on the REAL problems Americans are facing.

We must ensure that critical materials are made in America, by American workers. That includes our chemical industry -- like the yellow road paint we make right here in Michigan. Buy America, buy Michigan! www.mlive.com/news/muskego...

A reckless trade war. Fertilizer prices are through the roof. Rising input costs. Our farmers are the backbone of so many communities across Wisconsin, and this administration is making their lives so much harder. www.wpr.org/news/steep-f...

No worker should be left fighting for the basic right to a safe job. That's why I co-sponsored @sanders.senate.gov's and @baldwin.senate.gov's Protecting America's Workers Act. We need to have the backs of all workers, in every corner of our country and across every industry.

Lutnick just can't get his story straight about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — from back in February, where I first got him to admit he had lied about their connection, to today. What is he hiding? Why does his story keep changing? The American people deserve the truth.

The Abilities Expo was inspiring. I'm glad that people with disabilities and their families, caregivers, and advocates are able to come together in this way, get the resources they need, see the latest innovations and technologies, and connect with communities across the state.

The transition to clean energy is going to happen. The only question is if the United States will lead the transition or follow behind China. Projects like this show that clean energy just makes good sense — even in cold states like ours.

Winona Area Public Schools secured $5.5 million in federal tax credits through the Inflation Reduction Act for installing the energy-efficient system. Even better, the geo system will pay for itself with its energy savings.

The system regulates the school temperature by harnessing the earth’s natural heat as energy to keep the building warm in the winter + cool in the summer. It’s a cheaper way to heat/cool the school, doesn’t tie them to the ups and downs of a global oil/gas market and is clean, American-made energy.
