This National Nurses Week and every week, let’s recognize the exceptional nurses in our communities that keep us safe and healthy. From supporting their mental health to addressing health care staffing shortages, I’m going to keep doing all I can to stand with our healers.

Remember: Trump promised to bring DOWN prices 'on day 1.' He's now sending his top economic advisor out to try and convince the American people that it's a GOOD thing that they are paying more for "everything." They haven’t got a clue.

The stories we heard yesterday from patients and healthcare workers at Denver Health were harrowing. People are choosing between healthcare and housing. In the richest country in the world, that’s unacceptable. We have to fix it.

It was great to join leadership and staff from the Northern Neck-Middlesex Free Health Clinic today to tour their facility, discuss challenges they’re facing after Medicaid cuts, and learn more about how they will use $1 million in funding I secured to expand access to dental services.

Glad to join community leaders in Aurora to celebrate construction of the East Colfax Avenue Bus Rapid Transit line. By investing in affordable and reliable transit, we're making it easier for Coloradans to live, work, and raise their families here. www.denvergazette.com/2026/05/01/a...

Last year, Republicans passed the single largest cut to health care in our nation’s history—& rural hospitals are taking the biggest hit. I was at Kittitas Valley Healthcare to talk about the status of health care here in Central WA. Instead of funding Trump's war, we should fund Medicaid.

Trump is using taxpayer dollars to bribe huge corporations to abandon wind farms that would lower consumer prices by displacing expensive polluting fossil units — a political pay-off to his big fossil fuel donors. youtu.be/O73_qd8YQus?...

Minnesotans are right to have high expectations. They meet deadlines, solve problems, and plan for their families every day—our government should too.

Michiganders continue to pay the price at the gas pump for President Trump’s war with Iran. It’s been over 60 days, and Congress and the American people have yet to hear a strategy for peace and how we will stop these rising costs. michiganindependent.com/economy/grea...

This is hypocrisy at its finest. Trump's gold-encrusted ballroom has gone from costing $200 million funded by shady donors to $1 BILLION from TAXPAYERS—snuck into the ICE bill by Senate Republicans. But Trump wants to prosecute Powell for cost overruns of the Fed's renovation.

Ted Turner was a media visionary and a dedicated conservationist. From fighting to “save everything” to bringing bison back to the West, he was the real-life Captain Planet. I will miss his leadership, and my thoughts are with his family and friends.

The rise in antisemitism is beyond troubling. It should be a call to action for us all. I’ve heard from Jewish communities in NJ about these anxieties. No one should fear being the target of this kind of hate. We must do everything we can to combat it in all its forms.

Trump says higher gas prices are a “small price to pay” for his reckless, illegal war. Tell that to Americans paying $20+ more per fill-up—which will cost drivers over $730 more per year on average. That’s not small.

Still, I’m glad Lagarde reiterated what we’ve been saying: “Alternative sources of energy offer the clearest path to minimizing the trade-offs between Europe’s energy-policy goals of security, sustainability and affordability.”

Passive voice? Climate change has “become a partisan issue”? Say it straight: fossil fuel industry’s corruption has made it a partisan issue; Republicans are hip-deep in fossil fuel money and lies.

Republicans kicked millions of kids and families off SNAP, then drove up the cost of basically everything with Trump's reckless tariffs and war of choice with Iran. They do not care about helping working families—not one bit—and I will keep fighting back.

When it’s you vs. the rich, Trump picks the rich. Every. Single. Time. The Senate passed this housing bill 89–10. The White House supported it. Now Trump’s siding with corporate landlords over families who just want to own a home.

The Fifth Circuit's ruling to limit access to medication abortion was a political decision by a few extremist judges. SCOTUS paused that ruling—now Congressional Democrats are arguing what the science always made clear: mifepristone is safe & effective.

When nothing can get through the Strait of Hormuz, it drives up costs across the global economy. I don't think there's a single person or company in Michigan that's not watching the price of gas right now and just sort of gasping when they pass by the gas station.

Last year, Senate Republicans tried to sell off 3 million acres of public lands in a massive land grab that would’ve devastated Colorado and the West. I introduced the Public Lands Integrity Act to stop future sell-offs through fast-tracked, backroom budget deals. We must protect our public lands.

Republicans' next big legislative push includes: ✅ $70+ billion for ICE & Border Patrol ✅$1 billion for Trump’s ballroom ❌ $0 for health care ❌$0 to help you afford the basics Budgets show your priorities—and this makes clear Republicans won't lift a finger to help working families.

Every military officer knows ‘hope’ is not a plan. But Pres. Trump took our nation to war with Iran without a plan, hoping for the best. 2 months later: Strait of Hormuz is still closed, costs are skyrocketing, & Trump can’t explain how this war ends. Americans deserve an answer.

The Big Beef monopoly is crushing Americans. The DOJ heeding my call to investigate the meatpacking industry is a good first step, but results are urgently needed to lower costs. We must go further and pass my bill that would break up the beef monopoly once and for all.
