It’s our duty to support caregivers for people with disabilities—no family should be punished for sharing their home and providing care to vulnerable loved ones. The Trump-Vance Administration should reverse this plan.

We can afford to end hunger in this country. We know how to do it. We could get it done now. Our leaders are choosing not to.

Gas prices are NOT coming down. They are going UP. And everyone in America knows that Donald Trump and Republicans are to blame. There's not a lot that's worse for the American economy than a Republican President and a Republican Congress.

Trump promised the war against Iran would be over “very quickly.” It’s clear that wasn’t true, and I have serious questions about the plan going forward. Pete Hegseth’s response? Making up ridiculous new claims on the spot. youtube.com/shorts/j0XZk...

Fuel costs are skyrocketing because of Trump's illegal war in Iran. This week, I sat down with Kaua'i Island Utility Cooperative to discuss how to counteract these rising fuel costs while continuing to increase the use of more affordable, reliable, renewable power in our state.

That makes two Republicans who have found the backbone to vote against Trump’s illegal, unnecessary and expensive war on Iran. After 60 days, Trump has managed to waste lives, billions of dollars, and send gas prices through the roof. To the other Republican Senators, this is now your war, too.

Amazing graphic of US drought crisis, reaching beyond “extreme” into “exceptional.” New levels of extreme weather from fossil fuel pollution.

When I woke up 🛌 today…was that only a Minnesota fan’s dream 😴? Did the Wild 🏒 Wolves 🏀 and Twins ⚾️ all win in one night? And are the Frost, Wild & Wolves all moving on in the playoffs? The ☀️ is shining and YES it is ACTUALLY happening.

Michigan has watched as thousands of manufacturing jobs moved offshore to China. That's because the Chinese Communist Party is subsidizing its products, flooding the market and creating a monopoly. We can never let that happen to Michigan's auto industry and our workers.

I've been saying it for months: Casey Means did not have the qualifications to be our nation’s Surgeon General. We need our nation’s public health leaders to believe in science — not work to subvert public health programs, sow vaccine distrust, or push a corrupt agenda.

Illinois holds a special place in union history. From the Haymarket Riot to the Pullman Strike, workers in our state have given their lives to protect employees’ basic dignities. On May Day, we recognize their contributions to a more equal, prosperous, and democratic America.

Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling was a somber step back for voting rights and fair representation in America. But by faith, I know we will keep marching forward until every American has an equal voice and equal access to the ballot box.

Today, after 75 days, Republicans finally passed the same DHS funding bill they could have passed back in February — a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, & the Coast Guard without giving a penny to Trump’s lawless ICE & CBP. 75 days of pure political theater. Total incompetence.

It’s a dedication that should be rewarded, and I encourage Secretary Mullin to continue to support them as they serve our communities. 2/2

Working families are under so much economic pressure, and we need to be offering solutions that hold down the prices of electricity. Instead, this administration is spending taxpayer dollars blocking new energy projects that would lower costs for Americans.

As Trump ramps up his threats of war against Cuba, we must understand what led us to this point: 65 years of a bankrupt Cuba policy. If we want to avoid war with Cuba, we must rein in this lawless President & learn from the failed, bipartisan policies that led us to this point.

I do not believe there's any reason why the active duty military should ever be deployed to the polls. Secretary Hegseth couldn’t even agree with that.

Colorado fought hard to get clean air. It lets us enjoy our beautiful landscapes without haze and pollution. This administration wants to take that away. We forced every Senator to go on record yesterday on whether they support this thoughtless decision.

I asked Secretary Hegseth if he would deploy the uniform military to our polls to collect voter rolls or machines. It wasn’t a hypothetical question, it was based on an executive order President Trump drafted but didn’t sign in 2020. He refused to answer. youtube.com/shorts/NhOsz...

Speaker Johnson had the Senate's bipartisan bill to fund critical parts of the Department of Homeland Security on his desk for over a month but chose to do nothing and continue inflicting pain on the department and its personnel. 🧵

Rebuilding America’s maritime industry will create thousands of great-paying jobs and strengthen our country’s economic and national security for generations. Read my op-ed with Rep. Garamendi on why this so important — and how our SHIPS For America Act will get it done.

After two months of Trump’s dangerous Iran war and attacks landing close to nuclear reactors, the world must stop building nuclear power plants in war zones. The Senate should pass my bill with @merkley.senate.gov to reduce the risk of nuclear catastrophes.

Americans are paying the price of a war they never wanted and have gained nothing from. After 60 days of war, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, gas prices are sky high, & our military has suffered significant costs. Pres. Trump owes the American people answers & a plan.

It's a good day when the Senate rejects at least one junk science charlatan. Good riddance to Casey Means, RFK Jr. is doing enough damage on his own. I'll keep pushing for his removal to protect science and common sense in our government.

Throughout our hearing, Secretary Hegseth expected the American people to just pretend like they don't know that there's a problem with the war in Iran. Meanwhile, gas is $4.99 a gallon. The American people aren’t stupid.

As a Pitt fan, I'm glad to see him use his platform as Dr. Langdon to speak out. Student debt is crushing people whose only sin was advancing their education. The system is broken—and the Trump admin has made it worse by jacking up loan payments by hundreds of dollars a month.

Casey Means was never qualified to be Surgeon General. She has made clear she wouldn't stand up for the science—on vaccines, on dangerous pesticides, or anything else—if Trump or RFK told her to put politics or corporate interests first. Americans deserve a Surgeon General they can trust.

Big update: I secured a commitment that the FISA court opinion revealing abuses of Americans' rights will be DECLASSIFIED before Congress votes on reauthorization. The more Americans know about these abuses, the more they’ll demand real reforms.

As the author of the program that has already delivered more than $68 billion to schools and libraries, I’m troubled the FCC’s new rule will make it harder for kids to get online and to close the digital divide. We need to strengthen E-Rate, not put up new barriers.

Like a lot of women’s health, menopause has been overlooked, underinvested in, & left behind. That's why Senator Murkowski & I are fighting to INCREASE funding for research into mid-life women's health. More than half this country goes through it, it's time we start acting like it.

Trump is killing U.S. auto competitiveness to pay back his big fossil fuel donors. Good thing he didn’t take big bucks from harness-makers. To compete internationally, we need to make competitive vehicles, not ones idiotically designed for maximum fuel consumption.
