Pete Hegseth is weakening our military by prioritizing bigotry and sexism over merit, skills, and experience — it’s pathetic, dangerous, and a disgusting misuse of power. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/27/u...

I join Armenians in Massachusetts and around the world in observing the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and honoring the 1.5 million Armenians killed by the Ottoman Empire. I will always stand with Armenian Americans in their commitment to truth, justice, & resilience.

Thank you Thom Tillis for calling BS on this. (As did a federal judge, btw.)

77% of registered voters blame Trump for rising gas prices, and we’re going to hold him accountable this November.

This isn’t justice. It’s cruel, immoral, and discriminatory. Expanding the federal death penalty will be a stain on our history.

Many survivors rebuilt their lives and families in Michigan, now home to nearly 50,000 Armenian Americans. On this Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, let's honor the victims and survivors of this atrocity, and those who carried on to tell the stories of survival and history generations later.

Today, I join the Michigan Armenian community in remembering the victims of the Armenian Genocide. A tragedy, which took place from 1915 to 1923, when the Ottoman Empire systematically annihilated more than 1.5 million Armenians.

I introduced a bill to repeal the federal school voucher program. America's public schools helped build the middle class, but universal school vouchers drain school funding and hurt students. Arizona is living it right now. Our kids and our country deserve better.

Jared Kushner is already on the UAE payroll. How much of this taxpayer money will go directly into his pocket?

The Trump Justice Department just expanded the barbaric federal death penalty protocols, including reinstating firing squads and lethal injections. Shameful.

"Last year, Donald Trump told the American people that Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated.” Now he’s using that same program to justify a new war. So which is it? The American people are not stupid."

This is Trump’s message to Americans tired of endless wars. He wants to spend BILLIONS on his war while the American people struggle to buy gas and groceries.

Today marks 111 years since the Armenian Genocide, where more than 1.5 million Armenians were murdered. As we honor the memory of those killed, we recommit to never forgetting the horrors of this dark chapter in history.

Our ski economy generates millions for Granite State communities. As climate change threatens this vital industry, I’ve secured funding for snow pack research and monitoring—making our ski economy more resilient in the face of changing weather patterns.

The President has attacked Americans’ access to the ballot box and targeted mail-in voting. I joined @padilla.senate.gov to introduce the Absentee MVP Act to protect Americans’ right to vote from any presidential administration that tries to interfere with absentee and mail-in ballots.

We’re in a cost-of-living emergency, and it's time Washington treated it like one. I've introduced three bills to suspend the gas tax, cut taxes for working families, and lower costs on everyday expenses — because Arizona families need all the help they can get.

What a shameless grift. The President's son bragging about a $24 million Pentagon contract like it's a game show prize. Meanwhile, Trump is demanding a $1.5 TRILLION war budget so defense contractors get rich while you pay at the pump for his war with Iran. Obscene corruption.

Trump said that he wouldn't use nukes against Iran, saying a “nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody.” I agree, but I don’t trust him. We must pass my bill with @reptedlieu.bsky.social to require an act of Congress before Trump could use nukes first.

Congress should be making it easier for families to put food on the table. That's why I joined my colleagues to introduce this bill to let SNAP participants buy hot rotisserie chicken. There’s no good reason a family can buy a cold one but not a hot one.

I join the Armenian community today in mourning the 1.5 million innocent lives murdered in the Armenian genocide. I condemn the continued human rights violations impacting Armenians and proudly stand with Michigan's resilient Armenian community as they share their stories.

The Trump Administration is trying to dismantle our legal immigration system piece by piece. It indefinitely paused processing for LEGAL immigration applications—with little explanation and zero plan to restart. Time to investigate.

Children around the world have died because DOGE destroyed USAID, all in the name of cutting costs. And now we learn from the Trump Administration that the “close out” costs for shutting down USAID may be $19 BILLION? What an unconscionable waste.

Trump wants a Fed Chair that will do his bidding. He'll drop the bogus investigation into Powell but not Lisa Cook because it clears the path for Senate Republicans to confirm Kevin Warsh, Trump’s pick for Fed Chair. You deserve a Fed that works for you, not Donald Trump.

75 years ago yesterday, Barbara Johns led hundreds of students in a walkout protesting racial discrimination in Farmville. Her brave actions contributed to the outlawing of school segregation nationwide in Brown v. Board of Ed. I'm glad a statue in the Capitol now honors her legacy.

This 5 year old girl lost her father in the Key Bridge collapse & now ICE is deporting her mother. Trump’s ICE operation is going after the weakest, not the worst. This is the kind of inhumanity we must end.

Trump's war of choice in Iran could end tomorrow, and according to the White House, oil tankers still wouldn't be able to go through the Strait of Hormuz until November. Food and gas prices will stay high for months. Why is Trump trying to hide that truth from Americans?

Schoolyards should be so much more than concrete or blacktop. That’s why I’m reintroducing my Revitalizing America’s Schoolyards Act. I want to help schools in New Mexico and across the country turn their schoolyards into greener, more enriching outdoor spaces like this one.

Trump's promise to "end inflation" was total BS. New reporting shows Americans have spent over $2,300 MORE on groceries, housing and energy costs due to needless inflation under Trump. $2,300 MORE. Because of his illegal tariffs, unauthorized war and terrible economic policies.

Donald Trump and Republicans gifted Meta BILLIONS in tax breaks last year. Meta reported record profits — then turned around and laid off thousands of workers. Giant corporate tax handouts don't "trickle down."

Like millions of American families, I’ve seen firsthand how unaffordable lifesaving insulin can be. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would work to solve this crisis—capping insulin prices to ensure everyone can afford the medication they need.
