When sailors are talking about jumping off an aircraft carrier, it’s clear that conditions on board have deteriorated to an alarming level, and this administration simply won’t listen to what our service members are telling us.

Happy Birthday, Social Security! For 91 years, this safety net has supported over 70 million seniors and folks with disabilities. As we’ve seen attacks from Trump and Musk on this lifeline, it’s more important than ever to protect these hard-earned benefits.

The sailors serving aboard the USS Lincoln have been pushed to the brink after more than 260 days at sea. These servicemembers have fulfilled their duty and then some.

Remember when Trump promised not to touch Social Security? His Administration is working around the clock to make the largest Social Security disability cut in history. Absolutely vile and shameful.

I was glad to meet with rabbis in Southern Nevada ahead of the High Holidays next month to hear about how they’re working to keep their congregations safe and discuss my work to combat the rise in antisemitism and protect Jewish Americans.

The Trump administration could use this $464 MILLION to fund food, housing, or healthcare that would help millions of Americans. Instead, they bought planes they don’t need and aren’t using. What a waste.

THIS is the Social Security election. Republicans are calling the program a scam. Democrats are fighting to strengthen the program and make sure it's around for generations to come. Senators elected this fall WILL decide the future of Social Security.

On this day in 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act, establishing a crucial program to support Americans in their retirement. I’m going to keep doing everything I can to protect Social Security for those who have worked their entire lives for these benefits.

I'm pressing @homelandgov.bsky.social for answers on its investigation into allegations of corruption and abuse of taxpayer dollars by former DHS official Corey Lewandowski. Granite Staters deserve transparency and answers. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Social Security turns 91 today. For nearly a century, Americans have been able to age with dignity. This anniversary is a call to action: protect Social Security from ruthless attacks, ensure every senior can access benefits, & strengthen the program for future generations.

Congress said no to Trump’s billion-dollar ballroom. Now he’s asking SCOTUS to let him move forward with his vanity project anyway. He never works this hard for you. You’re paying more for health care, groceries, and gasoline and he’s never done a thing to help you.

The richest 0.1% of Americans hold nearly as much wealth as the bottom 90% of families combined. We need a wealth tax now.

We saw it with the USS Ford, and now we’re seeing it with the USS Lincoln. These carriers’ extended deployments put the health and well-being of our sailors at risk. President Trump needs to end his war of choice and stop straining our military and servicemembers.

Here’s an idea – listen to the people who know what they’re talking about. When I visited the Ford last month, they talked about how that ship was night-and-day different than the old class of carriers.

Trump has said over and over and over again that his war is "almost" over. Nearly 6 months later, the Strait of Hormuz is still not open, prices at home are sky-high, and Trump still has no clear strategy or endgame.

91 years ago, President FDR signed the Social Security Act, establishing safeguards for people with disabilities, retirees, and others. I'm committed to pushing for bipartisan solutions like the PROMISE Act to ensure Congress protects benefits for generations to come.

Today is the 91st Anniversary of Social Security! Social Security is a cornerstone of American retirement, supporting nearly 70 million Americans, providing critical retirement security, and helping lift millions of seniors, disabled people and children out of poverty.

At a time when millions of Americans fear that the life their parents had was better than what they have, and worry over the future for their kids, the president has an answer: Build a golden ballroom.

I spoke to a grandmother today worried about her 21-year-old grandson who's aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. He’s lost 20-25 pounds and is struggling with depression. And so-called leaders like Pete Hegseth aren’t doing a thing about it.

If he's really grateful, he'd grow a spine. But no, he will literally say anything to downplay the war and suck up to Trump's ego while our warriors pay the price. Hegseth is incompetent and must be fired.

Apple: ~$2.2 billion Nike: $986 million FedEx: ~$800 million Amazon: $640 million General Motors: $500 million Giant corporations are raking in millions in tariff refunds and getting even richer. But remember: corporations passed tariff costs on to you. Where's YOUR refund?

The heroes who served our country in WWII saved democracy by fighting to rid the world of tyranny. My own father was one of them. It is completely reprehensible that anyone would deface the WWII memorial in our nation's capital, and the perpetrators must be brought to justice.

Parents deserve vaccine guidance they can trust based on rigorous research, proven safety and efficacy, and the best available medical evidence. Not politics, nor conspiracy theories. And certainly not whatever RFK Jr. decides they want the science to say.

President Trump’s “public charge” rule is designed to stoke fear in immigrant communities by making the path to a green card more challenging.

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been at sea for 200+ straight days, and reports say conditions onboard are so bad that multiple sailors have tried to jump off. Our servicemembers deserve better than this. There needs to be an investigation.

By hook or by crook, Trump is hellbent on getting his name on the Kennedy Center & his hand-picked board is all too happy to try & make it happen. Can you imagine if Trump spent time & energy on things Americans actually care about, like lowering costs & ending his war in Iran?

These numbers are shameful. It's unacceptable that anyone in NJ is going hungry. That's why I'm fighting so every family can afford to put food on the table, and introducing legislation like the Summer Meals REACH Act which would ensure kids have access to food all year round.

Trump has raked in more than ONE BILLION DOLLARS from his crypto schemes during this term in office. No president should be able to use their office to line their own pockets. I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act to stop the crypto schemes in their tracks.

This is really creepy: giant companies could be charging you higher prices based on data they have on you (like your browsing history). It's called "surveillance pricing." Just so you know, Donald Trump shut down the investigation into this scam.

Don’t forget that Republicans designed their Big Ugly Bill to go into full effect after this election. They know their Medicaid cuts are devastating and indefensible – they want to wait until there’s no accountability.

This regime claims to care about legal immigration. But from making citizenship tests harder to increasing naturalization costs by up to 80%, this regime is literally ripping the floor out from under immigrants who have done everything right — with no reason why.

Trump thinks he can cut corners in the name of “saving money.” But in reality, these changes will jeopardize resources that serve more than 700,000 kids every year. His end goal is clear: gut Head Start until there’s nothing left.
