We must ensure that people who serve as the acting Director of National Intelligence actually have some national security experience needed to do this job, and treat it responsibly. Not on behalf of one party, not on behalf of one man, but on behalf of Americans to keep us safe.

Today, I’m introducing the MERIT Act — the Minimum Experience Requirements for Intelligence Transition Act. This comes as Bill Pulte serves as Acting DNI, and ahead of President Trump’s address on elections this evening. youtube.com/shorts/WsDH0...

Weatherization upgrades save families hundreds of dollars on utilities each year by dramatically improving the energy efficiency of their homes.

After joining my colleagues to demand Trump's Department of Energy release Weatherization Assistance funding, Colorado is finally getting the $5.8 million it's owed to help lower utilities costs for the people who need it most.

These guys should have to look these kids in the eye before they cancel their hope for a new cancer treatment solely because it predominantly helps kids who don’t look like them.

Cancer doesn’t give a shit about DEI policies. The disease will continue impacting some populations more than others and refusing to research why is asinine and hurts us all.

Trump is giving a primetime national address tonight to talk about election fraud that doesn't exist. This is unprecedented & unhinged, so we've got to respond seriously. And remember that We The People decide the future of this democracy with our VOICE and our VOTE!

Reliable mail service matters for families, seniors, veterans, and small businesses. I'll keep fighting to make sure every Minnesota community gets the service it deserves.

Minnesotans shouldn't have to wait longer for their mail simply because of where they live. That's why I'm calling on the USPS to reverse changes that would slow mail delivery across Minnesota.

Trump knows it—and he is trying to make sure Americans can’t hold him accountable at the ballot box. That’s what his speech is about tonight.

The American people are fed up with the chaos in their streets, the corruption in their government, and the sky-high costs in every part of their lives because of this administration’s policies.

Americans are paying skyrocketing prices at the pump thanks to Trump's war in Iran. Meanwhile, who's winning? The world’s six biggest oil companies are projected to make $94 BILLION combined in profits this year. I'm seeking a federal investigation into potential price gouging by these companies.

New reports show that instead of bringing down the cost of health care, Secretary RFK Jr. pushed to spend $5 billion in taxpayer dollars to “investigate” the already widely debunked link between vaccines and autism. RFK Jr. needs to resign. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

This new Russia sanctions bill is an effort to narrow the focus and to really get at those countries that are helping to fund this war in Ukraine and fund Russia's war machine. China is number one on the list.

I introduced the Child Marriage Prevention Act to take steps to reduce child marriage across the United States. We must enact this legislation at a federal level to protect the future of hundreds of thousands of young girls who have been stripped of their independence.

Trump campaigned against forever wars. But by returning to full-scale war in Iran, he's dragging us into another endless conflict, breaking his promise yet again. Trump's war has been a disaster for the American people, he must end it now.

BREAKING: Democrats tried to stop AI prior authorization in Medicare. Republicans blocked it—apparently they agree with Trump that AI knows better when it comes to health care decisions for our seniors. This isn't the end. We'll keep fighting back.

This week I questioned Dr. Schwartz, Trump’s nominee to lead the CDC, and I’m concerned. Not because she’s not qualified— she is. But because this administration has shown a pattern of undermining the independence of qualified leaders and our public health demands better.

Sen. Ossoff: Tonight, Donald Trump, the world's most famous sore loser, will deliver a prime time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election.

Trump’s election speech tonight is not about the 2020 election—it is a threat against the election he's afraid to lose in November. Trump knows he can’t defend Republicans' disastrous record, so he’s trying to discredit voters who will judge it in November.

Just now on the Senate floor, I called for an END to the AI program that is delaying and denying seniors the health care they deserve. We're voting right now: my colleagues should join me and END AI prior authorization in Medicare.

I asked Todd Blanche to clarify if he truly thinks it is Trump's "right" and "duty" to order investigations and prosecutions against his enemies. The only thing he clarified is his intention to continue helping Trump misuse the DOJ as his personal law firm.

When we invest in civic education for kids starting at a young age, we raise responsible and engaged adults. It was important to meet with iCivics, especially as we celebrate America's 250th birthday, to talk about what we need to do to make an impact in NJ classrooms.

We’ve known for years that foreign governments have attempted to influence our elections – many supporting President Trump. But the fact is, the IC resoundingly found that no foreign governments successfully interfered in the 2020 election.

Tonight is a critical moment for our democracy. Trump is going to use his address to lay the groundwork to interfere in our elections. Follow the facts. Don’t let him mislead you. Our elections are secure and freely administered.

For the past 4 years, the 988 Lifeline has been a lifesaving resource. Last year, the Administration ended specialized 988 services for LGBTQ+ youth, leaving many without critical specialized mental health support. We must fight to ensure every young person has access to the care they need.

Navy Federal Credit Union already agreed to pay back $80 million in illegal overdraft fees to veterans and service members. Then Russell Vought tore up the order and killed the deal. He says the order was unlawful. What's actually unlawful is stiffing our troops out of the $80 million they're owed.

It's never been more expensive to buy a home. This is one of the biggest crises of our lifetime but Trump, a billionaire who owns multiple homes, thinks it's more important to try and rig the next election than deliver relief to the middle class. Pathetic. apnews.com/article/inte...

The Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in MD develops the food safety practices that prevent food-borne illnesses like Cyclospora. Yet, this admin is trying to close BARC with a half-baked plan that threatens critical research, wastes taxpayer money, & risks more outbreaks.

Workers depend on timely processing to continue providing for their families and contributing to our economy. I’m demanding USCIS explain how they’re planning to work through this backlog.

There’s currently a backlog of nearly 12 million visa applications, some of which require processing before individuals can file for work permits to be able to work legally in our country. This threatens workers’ jobs, employers’ ability to keep staff, and our ability to prevent costs from going up.

Donald Trump has given up on winning over hearts and minds. Now he’s focused on undermining the upcoming midterm election. That’s what his speech tonight will be about. But in America, voters choose our leaders – not the other way around. And we will fight like hell to preserve that principle.
