No amount of intimidation from Trump’s FBI will change the fact that he lost the 2020 election. This is an abuse of power and a waste of resources, and I fear Trump is doing this to set the stage to meddle in the next election. He needs to cut it out and respect Wisconsin voters.

I’m in touch with families and advocates of those detained at Delaney Hall, and what I’m hearing about conditions is simply unacceptable. Full statement below.

Trump’s war with Iran has cost Americans more than $42 billion in gas and diesel costs. That’s more than $300 per family. Not peanuts.

I’m really pleased that the Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport will receive $260,000 to build a children’s play area and install a new lactation pod, making it easier for families to fly. The funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law we worked hard to pass in 2021.

Donald Trump's settlement makes it official government policy that Trump, his family, and his political allies are above the law. It's outrageously corrupt, and it must be stopped. I'm pressing for answers NOW.

Today, a federal judge determined what we've known all along, the Trump admin was engaged in a vindictive prosecution against Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This is a win for all our rights & the Constitution.

Groceries and gas prices are soaring thanks to Trump’s illegal tariffs and painful war. None of these price increases were inevitable – they’re a direct result of policy choices by this President.

Mifepristone has been used safely and effectively for decades and restricting access to it puts women’s lives at risk. I joined all my Senate Democratic colleagues to keep fighting to ensure access to mifepristone and protect women’s reproductive rights.

I was in Toronto to reaffirm that point. And I appreciated the dialogue with the Foreign Minister Anita Anand, Minister of Industry Melanie Joy, and Minister of Infrastructure Grego Rrobertson.

The U.S.-Canada relationship is still critically important, especially to Michigan. Despite the recent tension in that relationship, I strongly believe our two nations must work together to address the big problems we face.

I voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for this exact reason: to get dangerous lead pipes out of Wisconsin communities and make sure Wisconsinites have clean water coming out of their faucets.

No one in government should be allowed to profit off of the information or influence they have access to while in office. That's why I've been pushing to ban stock trading across all three branches of government. It's just common sense.

Trump never has money for healthcare or VA staff or anything to actually make Americans’ lives better — but somehow found $1.8 billion to reward his allies with your tax dollars. That's corruption, plain and simple.

I joined Senator Grassley to demand Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth immediately release stalled funding for Ukraine and the Baltics. These nations are facing the brunt of Russian aggression, and our failure to stand by them will only embolden Putin and his war machine.

The NIH Director couldn't say whether we're better prepared for public health threats under Trump—because we aren't. Trump gutted NIH funding, delayed and canceled research projects, and pushed out thousands of scientists and staff. We’re less ready for the next pandemic.

Instead of voters picking their politicians, the politicians are picking their voters. It's turning our democracy upside down.

Howard Lutnick's FIRST political donation since becoming Commerce Secretary was a $5 MILLION donation to House Republicans 1 month before they interviewed him about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Let that sink in.

Lifted off food stamps? Trump and Republicans RIPPED food assistance away from millions of Americans to pay for giant tax giveaways for billionaires.

The next DNI must be committed to restoring trust in the office, protecting the integrity of our intelligence, and ensuring our nation’s intelligence professionals can speak truth to power, without fear or interference.

At a time when the boundaries between verified intelligence and politically convenient claims have too often been blurred, it is critical that the office remain grounded in facts, independence, and the rule of law.

The Director of National Intelligence is entrusted with one of the most serious responsibilities in government: providing objective, fact-based intelligence to policymakers and the American people, regardless of politics or pressure from the White House.

First and foremost, my thoughts are with Tulsi Gabbard and her family as her husband battles cancer. Anyone who has watched a loved one go through a serious illness understands the toll it takes, and I wish him strength and hope for a full recovery in the difficult days ahead.

The United States and Canada are in a tough moment right now. But our overlapping interests are bigger than any one president. As Michigan's Senator, I know that the bond between the American people and Canadian people is deep, and it will endure. Because we are stronger when we work together.

In addition to reaffirming my commitment to that relationship, we discussed the importance of the Gordie Howe Bridge to both nations, and I raised my concerns about the threat of Chinese cars coming into North America.

There are many Americans, and especially Michiganders, who care deeply about the U.S.-Canada relationship. Our lives, economies, and security are intertwined. That's why I thought it was so important to travel to Toronto to meet with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney.

No family should have to wonder whether the water they're drinking has been contaminated with toxic lead. Glad to see over $27 million that I secured in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law heading to New Hampshire to remove lead pipes and upgrade aging water systems.

I led all Illinois Congressional Democrats in a letter urging Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to approve Illinois’ Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment Program Final Proposal. Farmers, schools, and businesses in Illinois are depending on these funds, and they shouldn’t have to wait any longer.

This weekend, 45 million Americans are traveling. They’re paying more at the pump and at the airport. Gas is up 52%. Jet fuel is up 56%. Trump’s illegal war with Iran is the reason. Tina Peters doesn’t deserve more money in her pocket, you do. (2/2)

Kevin Warsh starts his tenure with his credibility in tatters. He's proven himself to be Donald Trump's sock puppet. And he refuses to answer who cut him a $100 million check for his secret investments – and what they may want from him as the new Fed Chair.

I am proud to have joined in unanimously passing a resolution to recognize the significance of Jewish American Heritage Month and call on elected officials and civil society leaders to counter antisemitism.

Hate must be intolerable and confronted. It is more important than ever that we renew our vow to forcefully confront antisemitism wherever it is found.
- CS
This year, Jewish American Heritage Month comes at a time when antisemitism continues to rise and we must grapple with deadly attacks against Jewish Americans, from DC to CO to MI.
