Being a caregiver shouldn't be catastrophically damaging to your bank account or your mental health. This is what I hear from so many families across this country.

Mifepristone is safe and effective—and has been widely used for over 30 years. In fact, it’s safer than viagra. But Trump officials want to rip away access to medication abortion in ALL 50 states. It was never about states’ rights—it was ALWAYS about controlling women.

Childcare is a form of economic freedom for hardworking families across Colorado. The folks down at Durango’s Powerhouse understand that fully. Working hard to address the shortage of childcare spots requires consistent funding. That’s what we’re fighting for.

Last year, six huge companies got $83 BILLION in federal tax breaks. Meanwhile, Americans struggled to afford groceries and doctor's visits. Let that sink in.

Bars and restaurants operate on tight margins, and the last thing they need is to buy subscription after subscription to show our teams play. My bill will cut the streaming costs for these small businesses and make sure we can watch the teams we love.

Happy Woodbury Days! I came straight from the Fair, just in time for the parade. And we had a great crew out today: Olympic Curling Coach Phill Drobnick, Karla Bigham, my running mate Ben Schierer, and our amazing volunteers.

Colorado is in the middle of an extreme drought. The impacts are real but so is our grit. The outdoor rec industry in Colorado is a lifeline for so many and a global phenomenon. That’s not possible without Coloradans who pull up their sleeves when the going gets tough.

Farmers are struggling to get basic services from an administration that promised to help them. In NM, that includes two farmers who saw their low-interest USDA loan put on hold, forcing them to go with a private lender, or risk losing the land, and taking on over $200K in interest.

If you know someone under 30, they need to hear this: the future of Social Security is on the line. Democrats have ideas to save Social Security so future generations can retire with something to show for it. Meanwhile, top Republicans think Social Security is a “Ponzi Scheme.”

Millions of families are going hungry because Trump decided another tax cut for his billionaire buddies was more important. It is a moral catastrophe.

New Hampshire families need more affordable child care options. I visited the Gorham Community Learning Center, where federal funding is helping nearly double capacity and open more child care slots for families in the North Country.

This week the FDA approved a new pill for pancreatic cancer, which nearly doubled the survival rate for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. For one of the deadliest cancers, it’s the biggest step forward in decades and a reminder of the power of medical innovation.

Thinking of John McCain today on what would’ve been his 90th birthday. As a Senator, John never stopped fighting for what he believed was right for Arizona, even when it meant standing alone. He dedicated his life to our country, and his legacy of service will never be forgotten.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one, but his policies have done just the opposite. Parents shouldn’t have to break the bank to get their kids ready for the school year.

Did you know Trump wants to cut public health work at the CDC even MORE? His budget would make bigger cuts to programs that help stop global outbreaks at a time when we need them most.

When a handful of companies control the economy, a handful of CEOs dictate what you watch on TV, which doctor you’re allowed to see, what you eat, whether predators get online access to your kids, and what apartment you can rent. That's exactly why we need to block mega-mergers.

Trump can waste his time renaming Lake Ontario & other bodies of water all he wants, but here are the facts: Trump started this trade war with Canada, and his tariffs are raising prices for working families.

This is big! A federal court just upheld Oregon's law to make polluters pay for the damage they’ve done. Now we must pass my Polluters Pay Act & bring this model nation-wide. It's simple: When polluters trash our environment, they should be the ones cleaning it up.

This is the cost of RFK's conspiracy theories & this admin's attacks on evidence-based science. 26 years ago, the US eliminated measles. Now, in Maryland & across America, we're seeing outbreaks & we risk losing elimination status. The measles vaccine is safe & effective. Period.
