It has been 63 years since the landmark Equal Pay Act was signed into law, prohibiting sex-based wage discrimination. Today we celebrate the law’s legacy, while still fighting to advance true fairness for all workers.

Great to see the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative at work cleaning up the Detroit River. I am working to extend the GLRI so that projects like this have the resources they need to ensure our Great Lakes and Michigan’s waterways stay healthy for future generations. www.freep.com/story/news/e...

The resources to pay for these wounds of war could come from the Department of Defense, not other disabled veterans. I will continue to fight for the Major Richard Star Act. 3

If Republicans insist on an offset in funding, which actually is unnecessary, then it should come from the Department of Defense, which has trillions of dollars available. In fact, the relevant programs are part of the Department of Defense, not VA. 2/

Correcting this injustice for combat-injured veterans should be done without depriving other veterans of benefits they need & deserve which this Republican package would do. 1/

A new Joint Economic Committee Minority report finds that under President Trump, inflation has already cost families an additional $3,100. Working families can’t afford to “love inflation” like Trump and his billionaire buddies -- they’re too busy paying for it.

President Trump loves that you can’t afford your groceries, to fill up your car with gas, or to buy a house.

Regardless of how hard our communities work we can’t get ahead. We need a leader committed to solving the problems we face, not one who just keeps creating more.

Donald Trump cannot handle the fact that he lost the 2020 election fair and square. So, he’s sending in FBI agents to Wisconsin not only to relitigate it, but also to show what he will do if he doesn’t get the results he wants. We will not be intimidated.

AI has no business denying doctor-recommended procedures. I am leading the Democratic effort to shut down WISeR—Trump's backdoor scheme to privatize Medicare. We need to end AI prior authorization NOW.

As former Mayor of Fergus Falls, my running mate Ben Schierer knows that housing and economic growth go hand in hand. If workers can't find a place to live, businesses can't grow. Our plan will build more homes, lower costs, and create more opportunities across Minnesota.

I warned the Trump admin of this exact eventuality. Their actions combined with FIFA's ridiculous pricing schemes have discouraged fans from coming to games & now, one day before kickoff, ~180K tickets remain unsold. Our local businesses are being shortchanged. www.ft.com/content/ac26...

Today, I was recognized during the 41st Annual Cyprus and Hellenic Leadership Conference for my efforts in support of our Greek and Cypriot allies. I have long pushed for peaceful reunification in Cyprus, and it is my sincere hope that the island will one day be able to find lasting peace in unity.

AI is already changing our economy. So we can’t let a handful of Big Tech billionaires make all the decisions and get all the benefits. We can start to level the playing field by taxing AI data centers and investing in people.

Because of Trump's reckless war with Iran, inflation has hit a three-year high of 4.2%. Gas prices are up. Grocery bills are up. Families are struggling to put food on the table. And the President says he's "loving it."

Working Americans are paying more at the gas pump and the grocery store because of Trump's inflation. Inflation climbs, wages can't keep up, and the American people lose.

Todd Blanche, the President's former personal lawyer, is a corrupt grifter who has proven he will always put Trump above the law. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that. I'm voting NO. We should not let these crooks run the DOJ like a mob family.

Trump warned Iran that it would “pay the price” for the war that he started, but who is really paying the price? American families. 100 days of war, $100 billion bill for taxpayers, 100% failure in Iran. End it now.

There is nothing to love about Americans having to pay more for groceries, utilities, and health care. Today’s inflation report saw inflation hit a three-year high—marking the second straight month inflation outpaced wage growth. Does this President need a reality check?

Inflation just reached a three-year high. Gas prices are up by 41% since last year. The cost of groceries is soaring. Americans are paying the price for Trump’s illegal war in Iran—and it’s clearly time for Congress to come together to put a stop to it.

Trump doesn't care about how painful and expensive he is making your life. He promised no new wars and lower costs. He BROKE that promise—and he doesn't care. We need to make sure absolutely everyone knows it.

Republicans in Congress just wrote ICE a $70 billion blank check. This is the same agency that has violated the constitutional rights of American citizens, defied court orders, and made Minnesota less safe. I voted no.

Senate Democrats said HELL NO to that plan, and successfully forced them to strip all taxpayer funding for Trump’s ballroom out of their budget that they passed last week. Nevadans work hard for their money, and I’m proud to stand up against a terrible misuse of tax dollars.

Senate Republicans tried to use $1 billion of taxpayer dollars for Trump’s ballroom in their partisan budget – while they’ve still done nothing to help American families afford the rising cost of living.

Trump doubled down on his reckless decision to appoint Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence. At a time when the US is at war and prepping for massive security events like the World Cup & America250, we need a DNI with extensive experience in national security. Pulte has none.

Bill Pulte is a political hack and lapdog for the President. He will do or say anything Trump wants, making him nothing short of a threat to American national security. The stakes are real. Republicans should join us in insisting a serious intelligence official replace Pulte.
