Thank you to everyone who joined us, a perfect way to start the trip.

We also talked about the bipartisan land claim bill that we have passed unanimously in the Senate (twice) that has stalled in the House. It’s common sense, fixes a historic injustice, and I intend to keep working to get it over the finish line.

We’re back in the UP! First stop of this trip was in Baraga for a conversation with the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community. Our land and water were top of mind, as were their efforts to build more housing.

Donald Trump’s across-the-board tariffs on Canada are raising costs for U.S. and Canadian consumers alike, decreasing Canadian tourism to Nevada, and jeopardizing supply chains across the border. We discussed ways to repair Nevada and Canada’s strong trading and tourism partnership.

Last week, I sat down with Consul General of Canada Sylvie Bédard to discuss our shared commitment to strengthening the U.S.-Canada relationship amidst chaos coming out of Washington.

Politics should never determine who rebuilds after a natural disaster. We won’t stop fighting for Colorado communities and making sure politics stays out of disaster recovery. www.denverpost.com/2026/09/01/c...

Grateful for all who have served and for the men and women who continue to serve our country. What unites is still bigger than what divides us.

Today at Military Appreciation Day at the State Fair, we honored the service members who served our country including 103 1/2-year-old WWII veteran Don Halverson who was there with us.

This weekend, I visited the Norwich Farmers Market with NOFA-VT to learn how nutrition programs are helping bring fresh fruits and vegetables from Vermont’s farms into more people’s homes. We have to keep working so more people have access to nutritious food grown by Vermont farms.

Utility bills are skyrocketing for folks in Oregon and across the country—all while the Trump Administration blocks cleaner, cheaper renewable energy solutions. I’m fighting for the clean energy that will lower your bills and power our future!

Haitian TPS holders are our neighbors, caregivers, and community leaders. Now Trump’s cruel decision is forcing them out of Massachusetts. @BluntRochester.senate.gov and I introduced legislation to extend Haiti TPS through 2029. The House has acted. The Senate must vote now.

Chairman Caine has made clear that deploying the military to do so would be an illegal order. We’ve heard nothing from Pete Hegseth. In theory, this should be a very easy thing for a Secretary of Defense to say.

The uniformed military should never be deployed to interfere in our elections, police our polling locations, touch ballots, or voting machines.

Trump’s senseless trade war is nothing short of economic arson—no business can plan around Trump’s unpredictable tariffs, American credibility is shot, and costs are up. Republicans are afraid to stand up to Trump, but Democrats aren't. Stop Trump's tariffs NOW!

For the Trump administration, the cruelty has always been the point, and that has horrifying consequences for real people like Pierre, a brave young man and a proud member of JROTC with dreams of studying medicine and building a better life.

Congressional Republicans’ decision to cut trillions in health care funding is having a dire impact on health care access. I appreciated meeting with the folks at Cottage Hospital to hear firsthand how I can keep fighting in Washington to support our rural health care system.

This $1 billion in dark money could've been stopped. In 2010 I wrote the DISCLOSE Act to end secret money in our elections. It passed the House, but Senate Republicans blocked it & continue to do so. We must keep fighting. You have a right to know who's trying to buy your vote.

Canada fought beside the U.S. in both World Wars, the Korean War, and Afghanistan. Their National War Memorial stands as a reminder of what that cost. You don't walk away from an alliance like this. I'll keep fighting to protect it.

We won’t let this admin’s attempts to undermine our free and fair elections stand. Mail-in voting is safe, secure, and accessible for millions of Americans. That’s why Trump uses it himself.

The USS Lincoln is finally heading home, but our sailors and Marines still deserve answers. Reports have raised concerns about food, clean water, hygiene, AC, sewage, morale, and mental health. @murray.senate.gov and I are demanding an independent review and accountability from the Pentagon.

American families deserve to know that their food is safe. Under RFK Jr.'s leadership and after this Administration fired safety experts at the FDA, CDC, and USDA, Cyclospora is surging and food recalls are now commonplace.

Trump’s tariffs are costing the average family $2,000. The fastest thing we can do to lower your costs is get rid of them. I’m proud to introduce legislation today that would revoke and refund Trump’s latest tariffs, letting you keep more of your hard-earned money.

This Administration has even tried to hide the numbers of American service members killed and wounded in this war. From silencing reporters to withholding basic information from the American people, they are doing everything they can to keep the public in the dark.

These firings threaten the independence of a news source that has served our troops and their families for more than a century. I commend these reporters for having the courage to tell the truth and hold Pentagon leadership accountable.

Pete Hegseth is trying to silence anyone who exposes his failures as Secretary of Defense. The Pentagon fired three @starsandstripes.bsky.social journalists just a few days after the outlet published a story about mental health and food and water shortages aboard the USS Lincoln.

Sec. Driscoll’s resignation leaves the Army without its top civilian or uniformed leadership and its officer ranks gutted by Sec. Hegseth. The Trump admin’s infighting and culture wars have strained our military and impeded its ability to win on the battlefield.

Back to school means new opportunities, clubs, and classmates! But, as a parent, it also means doctor's appointments, physical exams, and hearing and vision tests. Every kid deserves to show up to school healthy and ready to learn. That's what MediKids is all about.

Weaponizing government against news coverage you don’t like is right out of the authoritarian playbook. This is America. Freedom of the press and freedom of speech were the first bricks laid in our country’s foundation.

The White House, the Kennedy Center, Yosemite National Park — these symbols of America do not belong to any one person, they belong to the people. Trump's attempts to desecrate them only show what a small, narcissistic man he is.

As Trump doubles down on his trade war: inflation is raging, families are struggling, small businesses are closing. @democrats.senate.gov have fought Trump's tariffs at every turn, and we will fight to pass the End Trump Tariff Act to finally free Americans from his tariff tax.

U.S. tax dollars should not be misused by the Pentagon to boost Sec. Hegseth’s personal views or amplify his partisan political messaging. DOD exists to defend the nation, not to advance any partisan agenda. Congress must fully investigate this unlawful and unethical action.

Red card holders are Forest Service staff with training and experience to help fight wildfires outside of their full-time jobs. They are the backbone of any wildfire response. Trump pushed out and fired THOUSANDS of them. Save the Forest Service. Save our forests.

Using AI-generated images to depict fake military action and pretend our servicemembers are in harm's way is insulting and alarming to our troops stationed in the region and their families. Trump doesn't think about anyone but himself.
