This administration just spent 1 BILLION dollars of your money to make sure wind farms don't get built. You''ll have them to thank for higher electric bills each month.

Americans across the country are struggling to afford a home—and the President is only making this crisis worse. His reckless war in Iran is sending costs higher and he is doing nothing to help pass our bipartisan ROAD to Housing legislation.

We could provide permanent housing for every American living in a shelter, repair and modernize every single public housing unit in New York City, AND build over 100,000 affordable housing units. But Trump would rather spend $200 billion on his war in Iran.

At DHS, Kristi Noem advanced an agenda rooted in political loyalty to this Administration — separating families, undermining fundamental rights, and making our communities less safe. Markwayne Mullin would repeat those same failures. I'm an absolute NO on his confirmation.

Incredible story about Elvera Neuman, also known as the Blanket Lady, who has spent a lifetime lifting up women’s basketball. At 81, she runs the sideline waving her maroon and gold blanket to get Gopher fans on their feet. www.nytimes.com/athletic/713...

A $60,000 signing bonus. $20,000 for horse rentals. $3,700 for hair and makeup. These are just some of the spending @blumenthal.senate.gov and I have uncovered from Kristi Noem's taxpayer-funded ad campaign. I’m releasing new details about this outrageous misuse of government funds.

Serving others is one powerful way to live out our faith during Lent. I was grateful to spend time volunteering with my friend Jenny Warren in Wilmington and to talk about what active faith looks like in practice.

Putting untrained ICE agents at airports makes travel LESS safe while doing nothing to address the actual TSA crisis Trump has created by holding DHS hostage. All because he refuses to rein in ICE's lawlessness. Despicable. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

Trump's war with Iran will cost the average family an extra $740 on gas. Between this reckless war, soaring health care costs, and rising grocery prices, Trump has made nearly everything more expensive for working families while shoveling tax breaks to his billionaire friends.

Folks now have to choose between gas to get to work or food for their families. Coloradans are tired of paying the cost for this illegal war with Iran.

The Trump Dept. of Ed has repealed protections for students, massively cut staff, and turned civil rights investigations into another weaponized arm of its partisan agenda. They have turned the work of that agency on its head and it has to stop.

The Affordable Care Act was passed 16 years ago today. For millions of Americans, it meant coverage, peace of mind, and access to care when they needed it most. It's one of the most important protections working families have. And this Administration is trying to get rid of it.

AI is impacting our lives in countless ways, and it will have an impact on our democracy. AI-generated campaign ads have hit the airwaves, faking voices and images to mislead voters. We must put rules of the road in place to protect the integrity of our elections.

One way to help would be to get assurances that DOJ and the marshals sworn to protect our federal judges will investigate behind the mere utterer of the threat whenever there is evidence of orchestration, coordination or conspiracy – something they have refused to say despite many requests.

Three weeks in and Trump STILL has no strategy for his dangerous war with Iran, no endgame, and no clear directive. Trump’s war of choice is costing YOU billions while prices skyrocket at the pump and at the store. NO war with Iran.

I am keeping the loved ones of the Air Canada crew who were killed and the passengers and New York Port Authority staff who were injured in my thoughts today. Tragedies like this are a reminder of why the NTSB must be allowed to do its job, free from partisan jockeying and stunts.

This is what desperation looks like. President Trump wants Republicans to BLOCK funding for TSA until Congress passes his voter suppression bill. He is terrified that the American people have turned against his failed agenda.

All those long, long lines you're seeing at the airport are thanks to one man: Donald Trump. He was presented with a deal to fund TSA along with the rest of DHS except ICE, and he said no. This is on him. punchbowl.news/article/sena...

Senate Republicans could fully fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard today. All they have to do is agree to our request to fund these agencies immediately while we negotiate a deal on ICE and Border Patrol.

This is absolutely unacceptable. When disaster strikes, it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican. All that matters is that you and your community get the help you deserve. This kind of partisan decision-making is not only irresponsible, it can cost lives.

A third of Americans with health insurance had to cut back on food and utilities last year to pay for it. They say we can't afford universal health care, but we can afford a billion dollars a day on war in the Middle East? America first, indeed.

Does this settle the question of which party is holding TSA funding hostage to get other stuff? Remember Democrats’ offer on TSA funding: “Yes. No conditions.” Could it be any clearer?

Donald Trump is tying himself in a triple knot. 1. Refusing to fund TSA and causing chaos at our airports 2. Starting a reckless war of choice in Iran 3. Pushing a voter suppression bill to disenfranchise over 20 million American citizens And each day he ties the knot tighter.

16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law—giving tens of thousands of Granite Staters health insurance access. I'm proud of all the ACA accomplished, but the work isn’t done. We must keep fighting to lower health care costs and expand access to American families.

It’s the Affordable Care Act’s 16th anniversary. Today, I’m frustrated that the GOP is hellbent on destroying it and allowed ACA enhanced premium tax credits to expire last year—raising health care costs for millions. We must restore those tax credits and strengthen the ACA.

Good week with Arizona's city and town leaders. They came to DC to make sure their voices are heard in Washington. Water. Infrastructure. Public safety. The stuff that actually affects people's lives. Glad they made the trip. Always good to hear directly from the people doing the work back home.

Democrats - and now members of the Republican leadership - have attempted to fund TSA and most of DHS only to continuously be blocked by President Trump. Let’s be clear: Trump is responsible for the DHS shutdown.

We now know why Republicans in DC have been blocking TSA funding. It’s because President Trump wants to use TSA as leverage to pass his voter suppression bill. Enough with the games. Fund TSA now.

While Trump’s tariff taxes continue to hammer American small businesses and working families, his illegal war in Iran is sending gas prices sky high. Enough. Trump must end his unconstitutional war and stop putting pain on Main Street.

In the past six months of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, fewer women and families are getting critical medical care, and many more are facing skyrocketing health costs. I’m partnering with @warren.senate.gov and @wyden.senate.gov to help expose how health care cuts endanger access to lifesaving care.

After blocking it 7 times, Senate Republicans agree that we should fund TSA, FEMA and Coast Guard, and set ICE aside while we negotiate reforms. President Trump is holding DHS funding hostage to protect ICE. We can pass this funding bill today. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

The only reason TSA agents are going without pay right now is because Republicans are holding their paychecks hostage so they can shovel more money at ICE and CBP. That's absurd. Republicans need to stop blocking our bill to pay TSA & start getting serious about basic ICE reforms.

Americans don’t want ICE in our airports or in our communities. We just want Republicans to agree to fund TSA so workers can be paid and these lines can go down. Trump is trying to intimidate us. It’s time Republicans agree to fund TSA instead of voting it down every time.

TSA workers have not been fully paid in 30+ days. Yet Republicans here in Washington have literally decided to suspend the business of the Senate to solely focus on ramming through their voter suppression bill.

Instead of sending untrained ICE officers to airports, Republicans could support my bill to pay TSA agents — but EVERY Senate Republican present voted against doing so over the weekend.
