The very basics: gas, groceries, housing, utilities — they’re all going up while you’re working harder than ever just to get by. It’s not right. I’ll keep fighting to get costs down for the people who help build and keep this country going.

For too long, we came up short on our promise to care for veterans who were exposed to toxins while in uniform. Four years ago, we made sure to right that wrong with our PACT Act and deliver health care to the millions of veterans who were denied their hard-earned benefits.

6 MONTHS. That’s how long Trump’s illegal, costly war with Iran has dragged on with no end in sight. August marks six months since American families have been shouldering the cost for it at the gas pump, and anywhere they decide to spend their hard earned dollars. Trump needs to end this war.

Trump is selling prioritized access to his Truth Social posts… rigging the markets for anyone willing to pay him $100,000 a month. We cannot sit back and let this rampant corruption continue – we must pass my NO PROFIT Act.

With midterm elections just weeks away, it’s critical that we ensure all American citizens can have their voices heard this fall. I was proud to join my Senate colleagues in efforts to do just that.

Congrats to #MiriamHospital on receiving an $11.1M NIH grant to fund research on stress, trauma, and resilience through Phase 2 of their STAR Cobre program! I’m proud to have secured $22M for this program, which helps improve the well-being of children across Rhode Island.

Big Oil shouldn’t get a tax break for going overseas to produce energy, but that’s what our current tax policy does. My American Energy Independence & Tax Fairness Act puts American energy development first, making sure big oil pays their fair share here at home.

The ramblings of an insane person. No parent should listen to him or RFK Jr. when it comes to vaccinating their child. Stupidity like this is the reason measles cases are reaching their highest levels in decades.

Democrats are fighting to lower costs and build an economy that works for working people. Trump is prioritizing reckless tariffs, endless war, healthcare cuts, and massive tax breaks for billionaires. It's time for change.

Trump has no idea what he’s talking about. I’ve hiked these lands—they are accessible to everyone and belong to us all. Trump is trying to sell them off to the highest bidder.

This regime has no problem sending women service members into harm's way. Five have already made the ultimate sacrifice in Trump's illegal war with Iran. So women are good enough to serve. Good enough to sacrifice. But not good enough to be promoted? www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

Four years ago, the PACT Act became law to help deliver critical care and benefits to veterans exposed to toxic substances. Virginia is home to one of the nation's largest veteran communities, and I'll always fight for them. Learn more at VA.gov/PACT.

Trump’s leadership is a complete and total failure. We must end this war and begin to repair the damage he has wrought.

Donald Trump got us into an illegal war, is losing his illegal war, and has no way out of his illegal war. His lack of strategy, discipline, and any ability to seriously negotiate is endangering our troops and raising prices for everyday Americans.

These threats are not hypothetical—they are happening right now. The federal government needs to step up and help protect our drinking water from cyberattacks by foreign states and criminals. Cyberattacks threaten both your health and your water bill.

Today I'm unveiling a bill with @klobuchar.senate.gov to have the EPA develop those cybersecurity standards and provide resources to help water and wastewater utilities protect their systems from hacks.
- AS
In 2023, a few states sued to stop the last administration from implementing a cybersecurity guideline for state utilities.
- AS
I’m introducing a comprehensive bill today to change that.
- AS
Recent cyberattacks by hostile foreign powers have exposed unacceptable risks to America’s water systems. But federal law doesn’t allow the EPA to set minimum standards for cyber protections at our water utilities, or even get reports on cybersecurity practices or incidents.

Olivia Rodrigo is right—medication abortion is under attack. It’s wrong that young women like her have fewer rights today than their mothers did. We need to restore Roe and access to abortion NATIONWIDE.

This is Big Brother stuff. ICE has collected the DNA of lots of US citizens, including children & those who’ve never been convicted of a crime. This is a blatant violation of people's privacy. We cannot give another dime to fund ICE's continued abuses. www.wired.com/story/ice-dn...

It’s well past time we go all-in. Our communities need resources to combat the effects of climate change. But we can’t just treat the symptoms. We have to tackle the crisis at its source by cutting emissions and accelerating the transition to clean energy. (2/2)

In Michigan, we've seen the CCP undercut U.S. steel and aluminum manufacturers. And we've watched our manufacturing jobs disappear offshore for decades. We cannot let the CCP use this economic strategy to destroy Michigan's auto industry and put @uaw.org autoworkers out of their jobs.

The Chinese Communist Party has a playbook: steal the intellectual property of U.S. companies, manufacture those stolen products using cheap labor, and then break international trade laws by illegally dumping those products into American markets.

Stopped by Dion’s Chicago Dream today to hear about how this remarkable organization is helping hungry Chicagoans access fresh, delicious produce. Dion’s has already completed more than 780,000 food deliveries in its six years of operation, and I hope it will continue to make many, many more.

First, it was cyclosporiasis; now it’s Salmonella. One constant? Donald Trump and RFK Jr. defunded many of the FDA’s food safety programs and fired large swaths of food safety inspectors. They are doing everything in their power to Make America Sick Again.

Head Start is a lifeline for families. It ensures that high quality child care and early education is not just a privilege reserved for the rich. Now Trump wants to strip away Head Start's health and safety standards. All of our kids deserve better.

4️⃣ Trump asking for more funding for Iran with no clear strategy. 5️⃣ Pres. Trump’s fight to stop the IRS from ever auditing him or his family, as well his absurd lies about the reflecting pool.

Here, it’s a double burn. Your taxpayer dollars — $4 billion so far — go to pay corporations to walk away from low-cost clean energy, so that you pay more electricity consumer dollars. You lose at both ends; corrupt fossil fuel donors win. It’s a racket.
- SW
YOUR excess costs to run those expensive fossil fuel units (which set the price for the whole grid btw, so it’s big bucks) go into THEIR fossil fuel pockets — yep, the pockets of Trump’s big fossil fuel donors. YOU pay off HIS donors.
- SW
Why do Trumpsters hurt consumers? Follow the money. YOUR rates go up because your electrons cost more, because without the low-cost clean energy, the grid had to dial up expensive fossil fuel plants. There’s the trick.
- SW
When clean power comes in at a lower cost, the grid doesn’t need higher cost plants, so they’re idled and don’t sell electrons. So they don’t get paid for electrons. They lose money. But you save money. Consumers win.
- SW
How do we know this? Ask any grid. They run the lower-cost stuff first, and the lower-cost stuff is clean energy. An example? New England offshore wind comes in at around 9 cents/kwh on an 18-cent/kwh grid. Literally half-price.
- SW
Let me explain further. However Trump blocks clean energy — with corporate payoffs, clean energy bans, regulatory blockades — the effect is the same: costs go up for consumers.

I joined the Colorado Democratic Delegation to demand answers from DHS after a protester was shot and injured outside of the Aurora ICE detention facility last month by a GEO employee. We cannot allow this violence to become the new normal.

Trump is finally admitting there’s “no video or proof” of the alleged vandalism at the Reflecting Pool. The real culprit? Shoddy contract work that cost taxpayers more than $16 million. Americans shouldn’t have to foot the bill for this administration’s waste and mismanagement.
- CH
A US ambassador's job is to protect & defend the citizens & interests of the United States. US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, has failed to do so. As violence consumes the West Bank & extremists call for a Greater Israel, he's become a mouthpiece for the Israeli govt. He should resign.

23,000 - 34,000. That is how many of our neighbors aren’t getting the help they need to put food on the table because of Republicans’ historic cuts to SNAP. It’s simply wrong – families need some relief right now, not being kicked while they are down.
