My thoughts go out to the loved ones of those lost and injured on Air Canada Express Flight 8646, and I am closely monitoring @ntsb-bot.bsky.social & FAA’s investigation into the cause of this deadly incident. Congress must ensure FAA has the resources and staffing to keep our skies safe.

Pete Hegseth called rules of engagement "stupid." But those rules can help prevent tragedies like bombing an elementary school in Iran. Commanders agree.

The SAVE America Act would make it harder for millions of Americans, including married women, seniors, and veterans to vote. That is an affront to our democracy, and I will be voting no.

In town to support my friend @chrispappasnh.bsky.social and I couldn’t miss the Manchester Dems St. Patrick’s Day breakfast. The roast is quite the tradition, and no one more deserving of the honor than Senator Donna Soucy. Thanks for taking it easy on me! ☘️

Shout out to Rebecca Mader, a student journalist at Howell High School, for breaking down what a federal government shutdown means and why it matters. Great to see young Michiganders paying attention to how government works and helping others understand it. www.howellmainfour.com/12246/news/f...

REMINDER: Yesterday, 49 Senate Republicans voted AGAINST funding TSA. They are REFUSING to pay TSA agents unless they get to shovel more money at ICE with no reforms.

A birth certificate AND your marriage license. If you changed your name after you got married, like the First Lady, the 'SAVE America Act' will demand you provide BOTH documents in order to prove your identity and vote in the next election if you don’t have a passport.

Our servicemembers and their families deserve access to affordable prescription drugs. My bipartisan Rx ACCESS Act would help make that happen, and I’m going to keep working with my colleagues to pass it.

Under guise of their so-called SAVE America Act, Trump & Republicans are trying to rig the midterm elections. If this was really about ensuring all Americans can vote, they would agree to guarantee that all citizens get a free ID. But that’s not their plan.

Americans are tired of knock-off products stealing business from our #MadeinUSA businesses. I’m glad the President agrees, but a simple executive order isn’t going to cut it. We need to pass my bill to protect American products, businesses, and workers. www.americanmanufacturing.org/blog/an-exec...

Trump appointees at the Dept. of Energy used their personal email accounts to evade transparency laws in their efforts to make it easier to pollute, and EPA was in on it. We are demanding answers and accountability for this blatant disregard for the law.

Senator Mullin failed to demonstrate even a basic understanding of constitutional rights and due process. It is clear he would continue the abuses at DHS and support Stephen Miller and JD Vance’s violent policies. I voted no.

I'll say it again: we could fully fund TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard & other agencies within DHS TODAY. But Republicans keep blocking those efforts because they want a blank check for ICE & CBP.

Even some Republican Senators are openly admitting they have no clue what the Administration is trying to accomplish in the Middle East. Enough is enough. End this war.

Instead of sending ICE agents to harass travelers at airports, why don’t Republicans get their act together and agree to pay TSA workers like we’ve asked them to SEVEN TIMES now?

DHS desperately needs a leader who is focused on accountability & transparency—and who will make the changes necessary to restore trust in the agency on everything from the distribution of disaster aid to immigration enforcement. That’s not Senator Mullin. I will vote NO to advance his nomination.

Robert Mueller devoted his life to the service of our country. He earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart in Vietnam & he led the FBI with professionalism rising above the fray of partisan politics. May his legacy of integrity be a guiding light for all those who enter public service.

President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security has made Americans less secure. DHS needs a foundational shift, and I am unsure if Senator Mullin—or any Trump-appointed nominee—is capable of carrying it out. I will oppose his nomination.

Donald Trump wants to spend $1 billion of your tax dollars to drive up your power bill, by killing new energy projects. Let that sink in.

Senate Democrats have come to the Senate floor to fund FEMA, TSA, and the Coast Guard nine separate times. Republicans blocked each attempt because they wanted more money for mass deportations.

The SAVE Act isn't about securing elections or stopping fraud. Trump has made it clear he wants it passed to protect Republican majorities in Congress in 2026 and beyond — making it harder for Americans to vote. That's not how things are supposed to work in America.

Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, so he is threatening to attack Iran’s civil power plants. This would be an attack on civilians. This is what Putin is doing in Ukraine. This would be a war crime. End this war in Iran.

Americans increasingly see a system rigged against them. And as Trump continues giving the well connected the inside track, everyone else gets screwed. Corruption is the name of the game.
