Federal workers shouldn’t be punished for government shutdowns they didn’t cause. I met TSA officers in Phoenix who worked without pay and now face damaged credit scores. My new bill protects their credit history so shutdowns don’t cause them more financial strain.

Cuts to the NIH hurt Colorado’s economy, health, and leadership in medical innovation. RFK Jr. and this administration must stop their attacks on science.

Each year, we lose nearly 50,000 Americans to suicide. I’ve made it my mission to fight this crisis by making it easier to get help with a simple 9-8-8 call or text. I couldn’t be happier to see that this investment is working and saving lives. www.wbay.com/2026/04/29/9...

In the richest country on Earth, no one should have to sell their blood to afford groceries and rent. No one should have to ration lifesaving medicines because they can’t afford them. Republicans have taken a broken system and made it a whole lot worse.

Republicans said it should be about states’ rights when it comes to abortion. Except when Louisiana’s extremist Attorney General wants to tell women in my state—and the entire country—how they can get medication abortion? NO. Protect abortion rights.

I told Secretary Hegseth this week, a majority of Americans disapprove of the war, but he quickly dismissed the evidence by continuing to cover for President Trump. Trump and Sec. Hegseth keep putting Americans under economic pressure and our troops in danger. Hegseth needs to be fired.

Trump and Republicans are driving up health costs and making it unaffordable to get care. This is just the latest chapter of their years-long effort to kill the Affordable Care Act. This denial of coverage makes our case for moving to Medicare for All more urgent. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...

. @warnock.senate.gov is right. This is not just a legal ruling. It is an assault on our highest ideals of fair elections and fair representation. This is a movement moment. We will fight back — in the courts, in Congress, and at the ballot box.

Washington Republicans made devastating cuts to health care, and now Nevadans are cutting back on doctor’s visits and rationing medications because prices are just too high.

The cost of Republican inaction in action. Frankly, it’s unacceptable. Dems voted for & continue pressing to responsibly lower health care costs & extend ACA tax credits. Republicans should listen to the American people & join us.

Arizonans have been voting by mail for over 30 years, including a majority of Republicans, Democrats, and independents. It’s simple and secure. But Washington Republicans are trying to change that because they want to make it harder to vote. It’s wrong, plain and simple.

Even during the darkest days of the Jim Crow era, efforts to disenfranchise Black voters have always claimed to be "race neutral." The Supreme Court's decision to weaken the Voting Rights Act is Jim Crow in new clothes.

There are no Republican deficit hawks anymore. Not when they have proven that every time they win power, they will blow up the debt on war and tax cuts for billionaires.
