I met with NJEA to discuss the needs of educators in New Jersey and learn about the challenges they’re facing, including ICE presence around schools and bus stops. Every kid deserves to feel safe going to school and we must do everything we can to support teachers and students.

I just voted NO on confirming Todd Blanche to be the next Attorney General. The President's personal lawyer should not be America's lawyer.
- CS
Senate Democrats will continue fighting against the Trump administration’s assault on the rule of law and undermining of democratic values. The American people deserve a government that serves the public interest and the law instead of one person's greed, corruption, and ambition.
- CS
Todd Blanche has no intention of stopping Trump’s corruption. He advanced his career enabling it. Every senator who voted to confirm him has now branded themselves as an enabler, too.
- CS
Senate Republicans have handed Trump an excuse on a silver platter to keep up his pervasive, breathtaking corruption. If you want to wipe out corruption, you can’t have the president’s personal attorney as the Attorney General. You don’t need a PhD in political science to know that.

This nation deserves an Attorney General who loves the Constitution more than he loves the President. Sadly, for our nation, Todd Blanche is not that person.
- RD
It was a grave mistake for the Senate to approve Todd Blanche as the next Attorney General. If there is ever a moment in history when we need an Attorney General above reproach, who is dedicated to ending corruption, it is right now.

It is 330 am and good news for hemp farmers, brewers, small businesses & customers! On a 61-32 vote the Senate just defeated an effort to strip my provision that would delay the hemp ban. This gives Congress more time to find a solution, like the sensible safety rules in MN.

This bill is named for Doug LaMalfa, who championed this relief for Californians impacted by devastating fires – and I know he would be proud to see this bill on its way to the President's desk to become law.

BREAKING: the Senate just UNANIMOUSLY passed the bill Sen. Rick Scott and I introduced, along with Rep. Greg Steube, Rep. Mike Thompson, and @usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social, to provide tax relief for victims of wildfires, hurricanes, and other disasters.

This proposal will harm children's development, and I'm calling on Secretary Kennedy to revoke it immediately.

Research continues to show that investment in early childhood education makes a huge difference later on, but the Trump Administration is trying to REMOVE the requirement that Head Start teaches young children about math and literacy, and even about brushing their teeth.
- JR
The Trump Admin's proposed changes to Head Start is just the latest in their attempt to effectively end this critical program as we know it.

President Trump and RFK are continuing to threaten our children’s health by spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories. Vaccines do not cause autism. Efforts to undermine childhood vaccine policies are dangerous. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2026/...

It’s important to note that DOJ under Todd Blanche is still NOT complying with the Epstein Files Law. And DOJ continues to avoid releasing key facts about Trump Admin’s preferential treatment toward convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell. I will continue pressing to make these docs public.

No one fighting a life-threatening illness should also be fighting for health insurance, but Republicans are using every trick in the book to kick folks off Medicaid, and it’s just cruel.

ICE is trying to cover up an outbreak of tuberculosis in their Aurora detention facility by refusing to work with public health officials. We’ll continue showing up at the detention facility to demand answers and hold ICE accountable.

Earlier this year, Trump told the country he wants to “drive housing prices up." Now, thanks to his illegal Iran war everything from raw materials to mortgages are more expensive. He is pricing generations of Americans out of the American Dream, and he doesn't give a damn.

The American people deserve an Attorney General who serves the Constitution and the public – not one whose first loyalty is to Donald Trump. Todd Blanche should never be confirmed.

As Americans face rising measles cases and serious food safety concerns, Congress should be focused on protecting public health and holding RFK Jr. accountable. RFK Jr. must resign or be fired immediately.

January 2026: SoftBank donates $50 MILLION to Trump's library. March 2026: Trump announces a huge land deal for SoftBank's data center in Ohio. SoftBank is building what could be the LARGEST data center in America. More Trump corruption as costs increase for you.

In February, RI was buried until a historic pile of snow. Damage far exceeded the limit for federal disaster aid. But Pres. Trump denied RI’s request out of pettiness & partisanship. I’m fighting to make it right.

Invest in kids, not war. Trump wants to shred Head Start health & safety standards. He says fewer standards mean we MIGHT be able to enroll more kids. Actually, we can maintain standards AND open more slots by simply funding Head Start instead of a war with Iran.

We just introduced a resolution to put a stop to President Trump’s illegal war with Iran. American lives have been lost. Gas and fertilizer prices have skyrocketed. Our military stockpiles drained. End this war. NOW.

Blanket sanctions on North Korea hurt civilians who lack access to essential services and lifesaving care. U.S. sanctions on North Korea should target the oppressive Kim regime and we must make it easier for non-governmental organizations to provide basic needs to North Koreans.

Minnesota's Hmong and Lao communities have strengthened our state in countless ways. This week marks an overdue milestone as Secret War veterans receive the recognition they earned through their service and sacrifice. Thank you to the veterans, families, and advocates who made this possible.

Parents already have enough to worry about. Paying more for backpacks and notebooks because of Trump's tariffs shouldn't be one of them. My Back-to-School Supplies Affordability Act would exempt essential school supplies from Trump's tariffs and help lower costs for families.

Equipping ICE officers with body cameras is supposed to provide transparency and accountability. If footage is only released when it’s “in the best interests of the agency,” it’s not doing either.

Trump thinks the White House is his to do with as he pleases, but as the courts have said, it belongs to the American people & they must get a say in any changes. If Trump is so confident in the need for his gold-plated ballroom, why won't he put it up for a vote in the Congress?

The Supreme Court turned back Trump’s racist attack on birthright citizenship, but now he’s trying to sidestep that ruling with two hateful executive orders. It won’t work. We must stand with immigrant communities to protect equality and justice for all.

This bill ends an unfair double standard and ensures that early childhood educators are provided the same tax benefits available to K-12 teachers.
