From Worcester to the Merrimack Valley, Massachusetts knows what’s possible with fare-free transit. My new report with @pressley.house.gov shows that going fare free saves money, grows ridership & simplifies transit. We must pass the Freedom to Move Act so communities can go fare free.

We must continue taking every measure possible to protect our communities.

Air sensors provide a relatively easy, low-cost solution that can help protect Nevadans from harmful pollutants and support wildfire response almost immediately, which is why I’m introducing my bill to help make them more available and accessible.
- JR
As wildfires continue to ravage the country and the impacts of wildfire smoke are felt across communities, it’s important that Nevadans have the federal resources they need to stay safe.

The Spokane community is really stepping up to look after our friends and neighbors during these devastating fires. Here are just some of the resources available to help. Please share this information with anyone who might need it.

Glad to see this issue getting more attention. Since 2019, I’ve been pushing legislation to ensure consumer AI agents entrusted with our most sensitive data and payment decisions have a fiduciary duty to put users first.

Insulin is life or death, and capping insulin costs at $35 a month would help millions of American families. I have bipartisan legislation to do just that, and we need to get it done.

We are moving in the WRONG direction when it comes to kids' healthcare coverage. MediKids would remove the cost burden on states and ensure that every kid has healthcare, no exceptions.

Smoke from the Superior National Forest fires made air hazy and unhealthy across Minnesota. That’s why I’m backing the Wildfire Air Quality Sensor Expansion Act to help state agencies monitor air pollution and keep Minnesotans safe.

NEWS: I am introducing the No Payoffs for Pardons Act. Donald Trump’s corruption knows no bounds and has infiltrated the presidential pardon process for years. This legislation would strengthen transparency and accountability in the pardon system. www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

After the deadly tornadoes in Southwest Michigan, I heard the same question over and over: Are we seeing more severe weather? I met with the National Weather Service and FEMA, and the answer is yes.

No such assistance has been forthcoming. The Judiciary Committee and its members should not settle for less than the Acting Attorney General following through on his promise of helping to write this into statute.

Todd Blanche says he stands by his testimony from before our committee last month. Under oath, he pledged to provide Congress with assistance on a bill to make the death of Donald Trump's slush fund enforceable by law.
- AS
It leaves in place a tax-immunity deal that could help Trump skip taxes on the $2.3 billion he made last year, and still leaves it vague who and what is covered.
- AS
This supposed 'deal' doesn't prevent payouts to violent insurrectionists in the future. It doesn't prevent the admin from bringing the slush fund back from the dead next week or using DOJ’s Judgment Fund for the same illicit purpose.

Trump promised a Golden Age for America. But with every tax break his donors receive and every day Trump gets richer while the middle class gets left behind, it's clear what he meant: A Golden Age for Billionaires and Billionaires Only.

Following record turnout at the 2026 Farnborough Air Show, it was great to convene NH aerospace leaders last Friday for an insightful conversation about the air show and the bright future ahead for one of our state's most valuable sectors. Thank you to all who attended!

The recently passed bipartisan housing bill cuts unnecessary red tape that can add thousands of dollars to the cost of building a home. If we want more affordable housing, we need to make it easier and less expensive to build.

Happy National Farmers Market Week! Farmers markets provide spaces for communities to gather while enjoying delicious food and fresh produce. There’s no better place to celebrate than the Garden State. Thank you to all the farmers back home who fuel our farmers markets!

Huge for MN farmers, brewers, producers & customers! Now we need to pass it this week and get to House!

Just released budget extension in Senate includes provision based on my bipartisan bill to delay onerous hemp restrictions so we can put more sensible safety rules in place like we have in Minnesota. It goes through mid-December but that should allow more work on this issue.

UPDATE: Partial FEMA funding was approved for the western portion of the Rowe Creek Fire Complex—but the eastern portions of the fire in Wheeler County still need help. I'll keep fighting for the federal funding needed for the rest of Oregon’s major fires.

The next couple of days will be challenging, but we are going to do everything we can to make sure the resources are here and that this issue gets our nation's attention. (2/2)

The Spokane fire is the top fire in our nation. The federal government is going to give us the resources we need here on the ground. (1/2)

It was an honor to sit down with ROK Trade Minister Yeo Han-Koo and convey Congress' bipartisan support for the U.S.-ROK partnership. We discussed Korea's investment in U.S. shipbuilding and strategic industries, and I look forward to deepening this investment in New Jersey.

Amid a rise in scams using AI, Trump is destroying the programs that help protect older Americans from fraud. I'm fighting back.

A good life starts with a good home. Housing shouldn’t be out of reach for working Americans. We’re in Loveland to talk about how our housing bill prevents Wall Street from dominating the housing market AND cuts red tape so we can build more homes NOW.

Visited the Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB. Got to see the shuttle simulator that I spent thousands of hours in. One of the best aviation museums in the world. No surprise since Ohio is the birthplace of the Wright Brothers, John Glenn, Neil Armstrong, and Jim Lovell.

Democrats remain committed to funding negotiations that help hardworking Americans get ahead and stymie Trump’s wasteful, corrupt agenda that has failed families.

The CR released today is a responsible path forward that allows continued bipartisan negotiations on a budget that delivers for American families. I thank Sen. Murray for her tireless work on this deal and her success blocking Trump’s disgraceful efforts to further politicize all federal grants.

MY STATEMENT ON THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION: For months, Democrats have been clear: we want to fund the government, avoid a shutdown and pass strong, bipartisan appropriations bills that improve people’s lives.

I had a great visit to USS Gerald R. Ford today with @markwarner.bsky.social er to thank its sailors for their service during a historic deployment, and the shipbuilders working to maintain the ship. The professionalism and dedication I saw today are why the U.S. Navy is the best in the world.

This short-term funding bill blocks a corrupt policy that would allow Trump to hold even more federal grants hostage—and it closes House Republicans' loophole to pull funding for other agencies to give to Border Patrol. My full statement.⬇️

That's why I'm glad to join my colleagues to introduce the Wildfire Air Quality Sensor Expansion Act, which will help state, local, and Tribal agencies monitor worsening air pollution from wildfires and make better public health decisions.

As Colorado faces one of the most severe wildfire seasons on record, Coloradans are worried not just about fire growth and destruction, but about the health risks that come with poor air quality.

This is what makes Trump’s attacks on EVs so stupid. To salvage a failing industry that happens to include his big crooked donors, he’s sabotaging America’s auto industry in international competition. Everything else aside, EVs are just better vehicles. www.eenews.net/articles/dri...
