As the former Superintendent of Denver Public Schools, I know firsthand how often educators dip into their own pockets to provide school supplies for their students.

Right now, Republicans are debating whether we will vote on another budget bill that would allow for BILLIONS more in war spending and even more health care cuts. Trump wants endless money for war, but not a cent for health care or housing.

Americans can’t afford the basics: gas, groceries, healthcare. The last thing taxpayers should be funding are bloated warships with Trump’s name painted on them. www.cnn.com/2026/08/06/u...

Steward Health Care was an example—not the exception. When private equity is unchecked and greedy CEOs like Ralph de la Torre evade consequences, people die. We must pass my Health Over Wealth Act to get private equity out of healthcare. People across our country deserve better.

The 2026 Love Island winner is putting her share of the $100,000 prize straight toward her student loans. You shouldn’t have to win a reality show to get out of student debt.

The Senate just passed our bipartisan bill to put more pressure on Putin and stand firmly with the Ukrainian people. The House must pass it in September — and the Senate must do everything we can to continue supporting Ukraine. Read my full statement ⬇️

Back at the house I grew up in in New Jersey. It’s changed a lot, but the people that live in communities like these are still the same – hardworking, determined, and proud. They deserve a government that works as hard as they do.

Minnesota school districts are already rethinking their screen-time policies – and parents are leading the way. As Governor, I’ll partner with school districts to build screen-time limits that actually work for kids, because keeping students on task starts with less time on a screen.

Absolutely gut-wrenching. No school in the world should be marred by such senseless gun violence. My heart is with the victims, their loved ones and the people of Thailand as they grieve this tremendous loss and grapple with this shocking tragedy.

It may also be the single most important thing the U.S. government can do to bring an end to Russia's war of aggression.

Standing with the Ukrainian people has never been more important than now, as the war reaches a critical turning point. This bill reaffirms our commitment to Ukraine by enacting the sanctions needed to curtail Russia’s primary source of income and cripple its war effort. 🧵

Another weak attempt by the Trump administration to restrict birthright citizenship. It didn’t work before, and it won’t work now.

I’m thrilled to see the Senate pass legislation to further sanction Russia & its oil purchasers. Momentum in the war has shifted toward Ukraine and tightening sanctions should pressure the Kremlin to finally negotiate. I am pleased to help co-lead this law and encourage the House to pass it ASAP.

Our Russia sanctions bill sends a clear message to Moscow that America stands firmly with Ukraine, and that Putin is fighting a losing battle. Putin’s ambitions beyond Ukraine are obvious—and we will keep fighting for as long as it takes to defeat him.

Trump is CRUSHING working families and our economy. Jobs lost. Wages plummeting. Costs soaring. Focus on the American people, not bombs, ballrooms, and billionaires.

It is our responsibility to recognize their service, including by passing the Purple Heart Veterans Education Act, which would ensure that every Purple Heart recipient can transfer their earned benefits to support their family’s education and success.

On Purple Heart Day, we honor and remember the nearly two million servicemembers who have earned the Purple Heart for their sacrifices in defense of our nation.

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson says they have a "plan" for Social Security. After they made the biggest cuts to Medicaid and food assistance in history, Americans have every reason to worry. You earned your benefits with every paycheck. I won’t let Republicans take them away.

Every Purple Heart Day, I think about the sacrifices my brothers and sisters in arms made when they were wounded serving our nation. I'll spend today—and every day—working to repay that sacrifice by fighting for those who wore the uniform and the families who stood beside them. 💜

America lost 23,000 jobs in July because of Trump’s disastrous agenda and his reckless war in Iran. How are Americans supposed to afford Trump’s skyrocketing costs if they lose their jobs too?

Stupid tariffs bang the economy. Great Climate Insurance Collapse bangs the economy. Botched Iran War bangs the economy. Clean energy ban bangs the economy. Behind it all is incompetence, corruption, and a mad fixation on gilding things.

The second Trump admin is again employing "under the radar" tactics to dismantle our immigration system. My new report shines a light on Trump’s administrative attack on due process, lawful status, and our immigration courts to further his racist agenda. This cruelty must end.

Todd Blanche said it himself – he serves one person: Donald Trump. I have absolutely no confidence that he will respect the rule of law, remain impartial, or honorably serve the American people. I opposed his nomination as Deputy AG over a year ago, and I will do the same now.

Senate Democrats have stood up for Americans at every step of these budget negotiations. Americans expect their government to deliver for them, and we won’t stop until we get the job done.

Republicans held an entire hearing about Medicaid fraud, but they don't want to talk about the FRAUD in the WH. Crypto schemes, foreign bribes, the President ACTUALLY pardoning convicted Medicaid fraudsters. Sounds like we've got some good leads—starting at the White House.

Trump said he'd lower costs. Instead, he gave us a Big, Bad Bill, higher tariffs, and an illegal, reckless war with Iran. The result? You are paying more for just about everything.

Trump, Leavitt, and Hegseth claim this story is "fake news," but the American people can do the math. We are running out of high-end munitions. There is no exit strategy to get us out of this illegal war. And this regime is clearly lying about all of it. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump's judicial nominees are still afraid to say who won the 2020 election. If they can't rely on the truth to answer a simple question, they can't be trusted to rely on the facts as a judge.

Donald Trump’s economy is a failure. Job losses, skyrocketing costs, all while he’s fully consumed with interior design for the White House and golf. The only person who should be losing their job is Donald Trump. Accountability and a new way forward are coming in November.
