There was much to discuss: strengthening our intertwined economy, keeping our border secure, and making sure one of North America’s most important international crossings continues to support jobs on both sides of the border.

Parents should trust their child’s pediatrician on vaccines – not an administration overriding medical expertise.

In just the past two years, the U.S. has seen more measles cases than it did from 2000-2024 combined. Central Virginia now ranks second in the nation for measles cases in 2026.

President Trump’s executive order upending the administration of childhood vaccines puts children and families at risk.

NEW: 90% of Donald Trump's ambassador nominations have gone to his political donors and allies. Trump would rather promote his buddies than have experienced career diplomats represent us abroad.

Trump’s Education Department is gutting the very resources that help schools fight segregation and uphold students’ civil rights. I'm leading the demand with my colleagues that the Department withdraw this proposed rule and ensure every student can attend a school where they are safe and supported.

All kids, regardless of whether their parents are rich or poor, deserve healthcare. And no one should stay in a bad job simply because they can't afford their kids' care if they don't. That's why we need MediKids - guaranteed healthcare for every child in America.

I visited the Illinois Quantum Microelectronics Park today to hear how progress is coming along on the campus’ development. Illinois already leads the nation in quantum technology, & the completion of the IQMP will only further our innovative edge while supporting the Southside of Chicago.

Devastated to learn of the passing of California’s pride, Jackie, earlier today. Any visitor to my office in the past year knows we proudly showed the livestream of Jackie’s nest showing alongside C-SPAN and national news. We join all of CA of mourning the passing of one of our most famous icons.

Donald Trump lifted sanctions against Israeli settlers who are seizing homes in the West Bank. Now, the violence is worse, and even more Palestinians—and four Americans—have been killed by settlers and security forces. This is deeply wrong. These families deserve justice.

NextEra’s proposed takeover of Dominion Energy would create the world’s largest regulated energy utility, concentrating unprecedented market power and pushing even higher electricity bills. I am urging FERC to put the public interest over corporate profits and reject this merger.

This is what happens when you put someone who has spent years undermining vaccines in charge of America’s health. RFK Jr.’s dangerous views are no longer just rhetoric. They are becoming government policy, and American families will pay the price.

Health care costs way too much. Millions of Americans get priced out of their coverage annually. We need to fight back against Republicans’ draconian cuts… and work towards a permanent universal coverage model, too.

The Spotted Lanternfly is a hitchhiking pest that puts at risk ½ the trees in CT, plus orchards, vineyards, & hops fields. States like CT need strong federal funding to counter this menace & develop systemic, strategic ways to stop this invasive species.

Instead of undermining public trust and throwing back-to-school preparations into turmoil, we must focus on keeping our children safe and our schools open.

Overturning settled vaccine guidance and encouraging the erosion of school immunization standards puts our children directly in harm’s way.

Parents deserve far better than the chaos, confusion, and scarcity this administration is actively creating. We have already seen the real-world consequences of declining vaccination rates, including the largest measles outbreaks our country has faced in decades.

Just as Colorado kids are heading back to school, President Donald Trump and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are doubling down on an anti-science agenda that rejects decades of proven medical consensus.

After disaster strikes, communities should be able to access support from the federal government without delay or bureaucratic red tape. But our current laws are not working as they should.

PARENTS: listen to your doctor NOT Trump or RFK Jr. IGNORE Trump’s Executive Order. There is NO link between vaccines and autism. In the middle of actual public health crises America deserves leaders informed by actual science. FIRE RFK Jr.
