Latest on Reflecting Pool Debacle: The falsely-charged “vandal” has just filed an important motion in the case after the U.S. Attorney dismissed his felony charges “without prejudice” — meaning they could charge him again.

It is a sad day indeed when leaders use their authority in ways that cause harm, feed ego, or damage individuals who have spent their lives in service to others. Dr. Fauci deserves better.

Disabled entrepreneurs face a unique set of obstacles to building and growing their businesses, so it’s critical that they have support and equal access to federal resources. I introduced a bill to do just that, helping disabled business owners and our local economies flourish.

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 passed with bipartisan support. Now, the President is begging Republicans in Congress to pass a voter suppression bill that will disenfranchise millions. The biggest threat to our democracy is Donald Trump.

Everything the Trump admin does can be summed up in four words: CORRUPTION AT YOUR EXPENSE. Trump is again spending billions of taxpayer money to limit the U.S. energy supply in favor of exporting more energy to countries like China to make your bills more expensive. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

Nothing symbolizes Todd Blanche's time at DOJ better than the banner hanging over its entrances. The DOJ & the Attorney General do not work for the president, they work for the people. And it's for that very reason why Todd Blanche is unqualified to be our Attorney General.

These Republicans holding Dr. Fauci in contempt is so unserious. RFK Jr. has lied to me every single hearing I've been in with him. Cyclospora is spreading and measles is on the rise. What we should focus on is firing RFK Jr.

It was an embarrassment to watch my Republican colleagues berate and belittle Dr. Fauci for nearly three hours last week. If they had genuine concern for America’s public health, they would turn their attention instead to the destruction wrought by the Trump Administration’s anti-science agenda.

Trump is trying to destroy Head Start—and he's hoping you won't notice. He's gutting basic standards & protections for over 700,000 kids, after he already tried and failed to defund the program altogether. We need to speak up and SAVE Head Start.

Donald Trump is insisting Nevadans are living through “the greatest economy we’ve ever had by far.” Has he seen the prices of health care, gas, groceries, and rent? His speech yesterday once again made clear that he has no real plan to lower Nevadans’ costs. He’s only making life harder.

Pete Hegseth is a well-known misogynist. He's publicly said women are unfit for combat roles. He denies well-deserved promotions to women in the military. He uplifted a Christian Nationalist pastor who says that women shouldn't be able to vote. He should resign in disgrace.

61 years ago, the Voting Rights Act became law thanks to the hard work and perseverance of civil rights activists. This year, Trump’s Supreme Court gutted it. They are playing with the blood of our ancestors. Honor their legacy. Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

I will continue to lead Senate Democrats in blocking any and all of the GOP’s voter suppression bills.

61 years ago today , we passed the Voting Rights Act, a sacred law written from the sacrifice of Americans who fought and died for the right to vote and for racial justice. It’s under attack as Trump, Republicans, and a MAGA Court try to usher in Jim Crow 2.0.

It is both ridiculous and unsurprising that this administration continues to slow-walk New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes at Zorro Ranch, and @nmdoj.bsky.social is right for suing DOJ. Survivors deserve accountability. Not more delays, obstruction, or excuses.

Water authorities are facing unprecedented cyber threats, and we can’t hang them out to dry. My Water Intelligence, Security, and Cyber Threat Protection Act was included in the bipartisan WRDA bill. Congress must pass this bill to help utilities secure our water supply.

Today is the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which protected voting rights for marginalized communities, including racial, ethnic, and language minorities. We must continue to put measures in place to protect our rights and make it easier, not harder, to vote.

Our elections are safe and secure — that’s the top line. But as President Trump continues to cast doubt on our elections, we need to be prepared. I’ve been working through scenarios to ensure we have the tools to protect our democratic process.

When Todd Blanche says the DOJ slush fund for election criminals like Tina Peters isn't moving forward, we should not believe him. His word is worth about as much as the Trump Meme Coin. I will vote no on his nomination for Attorney General.

Today, I cast my vote against Trump’s nominee for CDC Director. As long as RFK Jr. is at the helm, any CDC Director will a rubber stamp on his dangerous, anti-science agenda. Enough of the Make America Sick Agenda—RFK must go.

As costs rise, essential home modifications shouldn't be out of reach. My bill with @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social would create a tax credit to help seniors afford upgrades like ramps, handrails, and wider doorways, so more older Americans can safely age in place.

To ensure wildlife can safely coexist with humans, Senator Steve Daines and I are introducing legislation that will be a win-win for both the environment and California’s ranchers.

That's why I'm working with Senator Husted to introduce the bipartisan First-Time Home Buyer Empowerment Act, helping first-time homebuyers overcome one of the biggest barriers to homeownership by allowing them to use savings they already have to cover a down payment.

Across Colorado, the rising cost of housing continues to push homeownership further out of reach for young people and working families.

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.

1% of the country owns more wealth than the middle class. Why? Because Washington spent decades fighting for the rich instead of working families, and Trump has taken it to a new level. November is our chance to elect leaders who actually give a shit about working people.

Donald Trump passed the largest cut to Medicaid in our country's history and let the health insurance premium tax credits expire. If Republicans won’t extend the tax credits, I’ll do it on the state level. Minnesotans need lower health care costs and they need them now.
