OMB’s proposed rule to politicize federal funding would be destructive and illegal. We need to keep fighting until this rule is scrapped entirely and we’ll settle for nothing less.

It's official: DOGE LIED about how much money it saved our government. A government watchdog just uncovered that DOGE overstated savings by BILLIONS. Trump and Elon's mission to root out "waste, fraud, and abuse" was just another failure.

We’re in the middle of an extremely active wildfire season. I’m grateful to all of the firefighters who are putting themselves in harm’s way to keep communities across Oregon safe. We’re in your debt.

Over 8 million Americans rely on insulin every day to manage their diabetes. No one should ever have to choose between paying rent or affording life-saving insulin. By capping insulin at $35 a month, my INSULIN Act would ensure this medication is available to those who need it.

Trump is raiding wildfire prevention funding to pay for his vanity projects while over 2.3 million acres burn in Oregon

Donald Trump keeps saying he’s “lifted people off of food stamps.” He didn’t lift anyone off of anything. He cut the program and took food away from people.

Americans are going into debt just to afford groceries and school supplies. And Trump is spending taxpayer dollars building, then destroying, and then reconstructing a vanity helipad... Talk about misplaced priorities. groundworkcollaborative.org/work/as-stud...

Senator Young and I are introducing legislation to improve federal cybersecurity resources to help small businesses mitigate their cybersecurity vulnerabilities.

As small businesses face a growing threat of cyberattacks and phishing schemes, we must give them the tools they need to stop hacks and lower their risk.

Wisconsin families aren’t asking for a luxury ballroom or a slush fund for criminals who beat up cops. They’re asking for lower grocery and gas prices.

Had the honor to chat with Lorena Cantarovici, the Founder and CEO of Denver’s Maria Empanada before she testified at our Small Business Committee hearing to highlight American-made small businesses. Her story is the American Dream.

DOGE's recklessness disrupted and delayed services that Americans rely on — like Social Security, VA care, FEMA, the World Trade Center Health Program, and so many more. Just as we predicted, the fraud was Elon Musk all along.

As Governor, I’ll launch a free one-year “Passport to Minnesota” pass for 6th graders and their families to visit state parks & museums & historic sites — connecting what students learn in 6th grade Minnesota history to the places where that history happened.

Buying a home is one of the most enduring images of the American dream, yet an entire generation has been priced out of this milestone. While the housing crisis won't be solved overnight, our ROAD to Housing Act is a key step by Congress to lower costs. www.nhpr.org/2026-07-30/t...

Democrats fought to fix this & not only require body cameras to be worn, but to make footage accessible. Republicans refused & instead sent ICE another $70 billion, no strings attached.

4 years ago, our CHIPS & Science Act was signed into law, creating good paying jobs, boosting research and innovation, and bringing manufacturing back home. We must continue building on our work to prioritize our Made in America manufacturers.

Two people have died in connection to the cyclosporiasis outbreak — the first U.S. deaths linked to this parasitic infection. The Trump Administration cut food surveillance programs and staff that helped catch outbreaks like this before they spread. Reverse those cuts.

Microchip manufacturing is coming back to America thanks to our CHIPS and Science Act. It became law four years ago today, and Arizona has seen tens of thousands of new jobs and a growing economy. I’m proud we got it done.

A reporter asked me if Trump's new proposed rule to get rid of Head Start regulations will cause confusion. My answer? Of course! And that's his whole goal. Cause chaos and confusion, say the program isn't working the way it should, and dismantle it altogether.

The State Department must report on the full extent of Venezuela’s human rights violations to make clear the toll that millions of civilians continue to face, notwithstanding the U.S. role in that government’s decisions.

Venezuela’s government has a long record of widespread human rights abuses, including arbitrary detention and political repression, that have continued under Delcy Rodríguez.

Tackling Nevada’s housing crisis starts with building and maintaining more housing that people can afford. I’m glad to have pushed the Trump Admin to release more than $3.3 million in federal funding to grow the supply of housing for low-income households.

I fought and won a major vote in the Senate this weekend to stop the hemp ban that would’ve devastated Minnesota’s farmers, brewers, and small businesses. Minnesota already has sensible safety rules in place, and now this moves to the House and must pass. www.startribune.com/klobuchar-se...

In America, one health care company can own: Your doctor Your pharmacy Your insurance AND the middleman between your pharmacy and insurance. That means more profits for giant companies and higher costs for you. That's not right — and I have a bill to stop it.

The Trump Administration’s proposed cuts and overhauls threaten the core of this vital safety net. I will keep fighting in Congress to defend Head Start and protect the children and families who rely on it most.

Every year, over 11,000 vulnerable children in Colorado - including those experiencing homelessness, in foster care, or living with disabilities - rely on this critical program.

Head Start provides comprehensive, high-quality early childhood education that leads to higher graduation rates, better health outcomes, and increased lifetime earnings. apnews.com/article/head...

At 4:30 AM, Republicans confirmed Trump’s Attorney General: - Trump’s personal lawyer - Refused to release the Epstein Files - Pushed for a $1.8 billion slush fund for Trump allies - Gave Trump tax audit immunity - Pledged to block abortion access nationwide

Blanche is unfit to be our Attorney General for many reasons, but the most important is that he refuses to ever break ranks from his boss, President Trump, even if it flies in the face of the law.
- ES
He also tried to jam through the President’s $1.7 billion weaponization fund, which would be an unprecedented misuse of taxpayer money.
- ES
He has gone after others, from the Olympic Medalist who stuck his hand in the reflecting pool, to the New York Attorney General, to his own former FBI Director, James Comey.
