Pausing immigrant visa applications worldwide will create significant delays and uncertainty for people who did everything right. This is cruel, unnecessary, and designed to stoke fear and punish immigrants trying to build a better life for themselves and their families.

Under Trump, New York families have had to spend $5,000 MORE for basic essentials — including gas, housing, groceries, and healthcare. $5,000 gone because of Trump's reckless cuts and endless war.

The National Park Service turned 110 this week, protecting America's most incredible places for over a century. If you've never seen the Grand Canyon or walked among the saguaros at sunset, go. Arizona's parks are some of the best our country has to offer.

IVF helps millions of women start and grow their families – but it’s out of reach for far too many. I joined all of my Democratic Senate colleagues in introducing a bill to protect access to these fertility treatments, including by expanding services for women who have served our country in uniform.

Will Trump ever drop his unsupported claims of election fraud?

Ready for Trump’s latest effort to sow doubt in our elections? He’s pulling ICE officers responsible for screening immigration applications for security threats and tasking them with screening voter data for noncitizens — despite no evidence of widespread noncitizen voting.

So Trump is so obsessed with dissing our friends, neighbors, and trading partners in Canada that he just signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario. On behalf of the GREAT Lake Superior, I call that SUPERIORLY stupid. We’ve had enough of Trump’s tariff taxes. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

After securing $50 million for this project and breaking ground on the site two years ago, I was extraordinarily proud to see our new cutting-edge DEA lab open its doors to help law enforcement across New England improve public safety and keep drugs off our streets.

Renaming Lake Ontario is nothing more than the President throwing a temper tantrum that his trade wars are tanking the economy and pissing off Americans

Again, not a betting woman. But I’d bet if you handed Trump a map of all Great Lakes and asked him point and name them he couldn’t.

Today, I’m announcing a new bill to repeal and refund President Trump’s reckless tariffs on Canada. These tariffs will raise prices for working families and small businesses trying to make ends meet. We must save our economy from Trump.

Don't let Trump convince you that he has “lifted people off of food stamps.” He cut the program and took food AWAY from people. He didn’t lift anyone off of anything.

GREAT LAKES ALERT: Decades of battling against the invasion of the invasive Carp into our Great Lakes hangs in the balance. Our highest priority must be the completion of the Brandon Road Project as soon as possible.

Sad and pathetic. Unable to solve a single problem facing Americans, this is what Trump resorts to. Voters will respond accordingly in November.

Nothing about this trade war has been good for our Main Streets. Small business owners in La Crosse told me firsthand how the president’s tariffs are driving up their costs and squeezing their bottom lines. They shouldn’t be shouldering this unnecessary burden.

As China steps up its military pressure, we cannot risk being unprepared to defend ourselves and our allies. It’s past time for the president to end this war and focus on the long-term strength and security of our military.

Trump is trying to change the rules for how Americans vote just weeks before ballots go out. Thanks to the Supreme Court, he now has a path to do it. Our democracy is built on fair elections and clear, consistent rules. Why do Republicans want to put that in danger?
