Community banks are the backbone of many rural and small towns left behind in bank deserts like we have in South Jersey. I introduced the TRUST Act to make it easier for these small town banks to provide small businesses and working families pathways to the economic stability they deserve.

A grand jury made up of ordinary Americans REJECTED Trump’s abuse of power targeting Sens. Slotkin and Kelly. I’m so proud of their courage, their poise, their loyalty to our democracy and our constitution. Senate Dems will not let this witch hunt go unanswered.

HUGE news in my fight to take on the Trump Tariffs that have been raising prices and wrecking small businesses and farmers. The House voted last night to finally allow votes on legislation to repeal these tariffs. Now let’s get this done and stop these price hikes.

On National White Shirt Day, we honor the legacy of the historic Flint Sit-Down Strike. When UAW autoworkers banded together in Flint during the winter of 1936, they took a stand that would shape the modern labor movement in America.

What I can say definitively about the El Paso airport closure is that there was not a threat to the El Paso airport or its airspace and there was no legitimate reason to shut it down. Now we need answers about why airspace in New Mexico still remains closed.

President Trump's reported CDC cuts will gut programs that prevent disease and address health disparities across Colorado's rural towns and most vulnerable communities. This isn't about budgets. This is the latest stop on Trump’s Colorado revenge tour.

Conflicting accounts on El Paso from different parts of the federal gov’t only deepen public concern & raise serious questions about coordination & decision-making. I’m pushing for a full account of what happened to ensure security decisions are being made responsibly.

Yesterday in Judiciary, Senate Republicans performed paroxysms about a supposed “Speech or Debate” intrusion, from standard toll records search, which happened because their phones were called by January 6 conspirators. SOP.

The Trump Administration's attempt to indict lawmakers who were simply articulating the law of the land was an attack on our democracy. The American people know that, and it's why a grand jury rejected these outrageous charges designed to intimidate my colleagues.

U.S. companies reap the rewards of government programs but use foreign tax havens to scheme their way out of paying their fair share of taxes. I introduced the Stop Corporate Inversions Act to close this loophole to ensure American families and small businesses aren’t left behind.

Last week I asked sports betting companies about Americans getting scammed by credit card companies when placing bets - adding $10 fees just to fund a $20 bet. Glad to see Fanduel take action to protect consumers, joining DraftKings. The rest of the industry should follow suit.

Glenn Medical Center, the only hospital in Glenn County, closed last year due to bureaucratic red tape — forcing families to travel miles to get care. Now, a new bipartisan law that I wrote with the late-Rep. LaMalfa is fixing Glenn's federal status and creating a pathway to reopening its doors.

It would be bad enough if Trump was damaging our economy and threatening our Canadian neighbors because of his fragile ego. But it’s worse: he’s doing it to boost the profits of a billionaire buddy of his administration.

Trump’s DOJ tried to charge me with a crime simply for saying something they didn’t like. Think about that. This is after DOD already censured and threatened to demote me. He wants to make an example out of me and scare Americans from speaking out against him. Don’t let it work.

The Trump admistration is trying to imprison their political opponents… for informing servicemembers of their rights. Americans stood up and said no. But we have to ask – how much further will this administration go to silence free speech?

Honored to stand with the brothers and sisters of UAW this morning. Working people are too often crushed by the machinery of power unless we stand together. That's why the labor movement is so important. And that's why you will always have an ally in me.

We now know that in President Trump's first year, job growth stalled, adding the fewest jobs since 2020—a recession year. Americans are anxious about the job market and high costs. It's time President Trump focuses on such concerns, not brush them off as a "hoax." www.nbcnews.com/business/eco...
