Further mischief on offshore wind means further pause on permitting reform. Let’s hope we can go forward without further mischief.

In 24 hours, Republicans have blocked FIVE attempts from Democrats to fund TSA, FEMA, our cyber defenses, & Coast Guard while talks continue to rein in ICE & Border Patrol. Republicans are holding TSA agents' paychecks hostage so they can give more $ to ICE, with no reforms.

Please stop these attacks on our fellow Americans and communities in our nation. Islamophobia fuels hate and violence. Equating Muslims to terrorists and accusing an elected official of being a threat are unacceptable and against the oath we swore to become Senators.

Trump’s missile strike in Iran hit a girls’ school and killed innocent children. The American people deserve answers.

Our disaster recovery efforts should not be held up by Republican's demands to give more money to ICE without any reforms. I'm headed to the floor with @padilla.senate.gov to reject that false choice and call up legislation to open FEMA today.

26 million+ Americans don't have health care. Thousands of veterans are homeless. Children go to bed hungry in this country every single night. We do not suffer a poverty of resources. We suffer a lack of moral imagination.

My new bill to ensure basic wage and overtime protections for home care workers is just the start. I'll keep fighting to pass major pro-worker policies like: ✅raising the minimum wage ✅national paid leave ✅affordable child care ✅the PRO Act.

ICYMI: Republicans blocked a bill that would have FULLY funded TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA. TWICE. They are choosing to continue ICE's lawless violence over paying federal workers at those agencies and keeping airport security lines moving quickly.

The suspension of the Global Entry program was one of many misguided and terrible decisions made during Kristi Noem’s disastrous tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security. It increased the burden on CBP officers and made lines longer for passengers. 🧵

Some good news: We just passed bipartisan legislation in the Senate to build more homes, drive down costs, and to limit the number of homes private corporations can buy up over people just trying to afford the American dream.

Last year, Trump and Republicans made huge cuts to health care in the Big Beautiful Bill and gave 25 billion of those dollars to the Pentagon. Now, they’re about to come to Congress to ask for more money for Trump’s war of choice with Iran. What did they do with last year’s money?

GOOD NEWS: We just passed one of the biggest housing reform packages in years and it could actually bring down the cost of buying a home. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, including several of my bills, just passed the Senate. Now let’s get it through the House and signed into law!

Instead of building on the most basic wage rights for home care workers, Trump wants to tear them down. I'm fighting back with a new bill to make sure the people who do the important work of home and domestic care get AT LEAST the same basic protections as other workers.

Trump’s DOJ waved through the Redfin-Rocket and Compass-Anywhere real estate mergers. Now Redfin and Compass are squeezing the housing market. That’s how big mergers hurt consumers: gatekeeping listings, driving out smaller brokers, and increasing housing costs.

I joined @duckworth.senate.gov & our Dem colleagues in a letter to Secretary Hegseth to demand answers on U.S. airstrikes that reportedly killed at least 168 people—mostly children—in a school in Iran. There those responsible for this horrific school attack must be held accountable.

Trump and Secretary Hegseth cannot blame anyone else for the bombing of an Iranian elementary school. They need to take responsibility and make sure it never happens again. This is a horrific tragedy and a deep moral stain on our history. There must be accountability.
