Owning a home is out of reach, the average age of a first time homebuyer is 40. I'm proud the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is now law – to help lower costs and put the American Dream of homeownership back within reach.

I was in Troy on Monday calling on Republicans to keep hungry families fed and work with Democrats to delay the upcoming SNAP cost shift. Food banks alone can’t fill the gap left by Republicans’ SNAP cuts. We must listen to our local food bank leaders: www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Today, I met with Pastor Jin Mingri, who was imprisoned for 266 days in China for his tireless advocacy for freedom of religion and democracy. It is also long overdue that the remaining eight jailed members of his church as well as Gulshan Abbas, Jimmy Lai, Gao Quanfu, & Pang Yu also be released.

Donald Trump has spent 5 months lying to you about how long his Iran war will take. His presidency is officially defined by more endless foreign war:

Trump broke his promise of free IVF. He doesn't care if veterans can build a family. The Texas GOP just made BANNING IVF a part of their official party platform. These extremists are gaining traction, and we can't be silent. Democrats are fighting back to protect IVF.

At a time when 41% of Americans carry a staggering $220 billion in medical debt, patients deserve price transparency. Our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act brings much-needed sunlight to our health care system—the first step toward lowering costs and making universal health care a reality. (1/2)

The murderer of Melissa and Mark Hortman was sentenced to prison for the rest of his life. Grateful that John and Yvette Hoffman—who courageously survived multiple gunshot wounds—are with us. Our hearts are with Colin and Sophie Hortman and everyone whose lives were forever changed by this tragedy.

"We left feeling demoralized" "Mr. Blanche talked around our questions" "We were gaslit" Todd Blanche only met with Epstein survivors after a Republican required him to, and this is how he treated them. Are Republicans really going to confirm this callousness to lead our DOJ?

We are in the fifth month of Trump’s war of choice with Iran, yet Senate Republicans are continuing to give him a blank check to put American service members’ lives at risk. Their refusal to exercise their constitutional duty only emboldens the President’s worst impulses.

I've long fought to ban congressional stock trading, but the House Republican-passed bill has MAJOR LOOPHOLES. Lawmakers can continue owning and selling stocks - so it won't solve the problem. Not gonna fly in the Senate. Members of Congress should not own, buy, or sell stocks.

Senator Banks, Rep. Latta, Rep. Whitesides, and I have partnered on a new effort to protect against AI distillation attacks and other security risks by allowing increased information-sharing among U.S. AI labs to counter the threat of foreign theft.

As Trump continues his illegal war with Iran, Minnesotans are paying the price at the pump. Higher gas prices mean higher costs for families, small businesses, and farmers. We need leaders focused on lowering costs.

I just voted to END the war with Iran. Senate Republicans, however, continue to block Democratic efforts to put a stop to this war. American soldiers are dying, billions of our taxpayer dollars are being set on fire, and prices at home are skyrocketing. This war must END.

I’ve asked my Republican colleagues to support my bill, the Protect Our Polls Act, because “None of us want our military at our polls, right?" Their response was, “I don’t want to insult the President.” Don't worry about the President. Worry about your democracy and protecting the country.

This is a jarring visual every American should see. Trump has made $2.24 BILLION as President. Trump gets richer while you pay more for everything. Corruption like we've never seen.

A few giant corporations dominate the American seed industry. They abuse the patent system and drive up prices for farmers and for families buying dinner. I've got a bill to crack down on big agriculture and lower food costs across the country. Let's get it done.

Secretary Hegseth testified that President Trump's war with Iran has already cost $37.5 billion. We could've extended ACA health care discounts to more than 21 million people for an entire year for less money than we've spent in five months of war.

From Ebola and hantavirus to measles & cyclospora, Trump & DOGE’s destruction of USAID has deeply undermined our ability to respond to disease outbreaks. Their short-sighted cuts are putting lives at risk, & Congress must fight back against the Trump Administration’s assault on our public health.

Mifepristone is safe & effective. But the absurd legal challenge to restrict access to the most common form of medication abortion is back in court, so I'm leading Senate Dems on an amicus brief with one message: Put science before politics. Don’t restrict access to mifepristone.

The top 1% owns as much wealth as our entire middle class, while too many Americans who've done everything right still can't afford a home. This isn't a coincidence — it was planned. We fix it by knocking more doors, making more calls, and winning back our power this November.

Haitian TPS holders contribute to our nation every day. Republicans’ decision to jeopardize their protections in the United States is cruel, unnecessary, and will only subject these families to fear and the threat of violence upon their return to Haiti.

This bill is a joke. It’s full of loopholes that let politicians continue to get rich off their positions. Want to clean up corruption? My bill bans stock trading across all three branches and goes even further. We don’t have to settle for performance. We can see through it and we can do better.

The President’s 50% tariff on 500 Canadian goods, including hockey sticks and milk, does nothing to help American families. It just substitutes serious trade policy for pettiness.
