Last week, I met with Korean American Grassroots Conference (KAGC) U Leadership Students and shared my experience working in government and politics. It was wonderful to speak with these young leaders and encourage them to get involved in the political process!

Their city was poisoned. People died. After all they’ve endured over the past decade, the Flint community is being denied what little they were promised. That should make every American furious.

Earlier today, I spoke on the floor of the U.S. Senate on behalf of the people of Flint who endured an apocalyptic poisoning of their city. After all the people of Flint have endured over the past decade, my responsibility now as their U.S. Senator is to pick up the torch and continue the fight.

I see the President released a one-page health care framework today. Mr. President, today is the end of open enrollment. 80,000 people in Washington state are at risk of losing their health insurance. We need more than a one-page plan.

I am traveling to Denmark as part of a bipartisan, bicameral congressional delegation. Denmark is a strong partner of the U.S., and this bipartisan CODEL reiterates that the U.S. Congress stands firm in our partnership, despite the President’s unnecessary and dangerous advances towards Greenland.

This is exactly what I have been sounding the alarm about. Millions of families have been left with no choice but to drop health care coverage and hope that a health care disaster doesn’t happen to them. www.jsonline.com/story/news/2...

Not enough money to lower your health care, food, or housing costs, but enough money for this?

As data centers pop up around the country, Americans are subsidizing their costs in their energy bills. That's not right. Today, I introduced the Power for the People Act to ensure that the huge corporations building & running these data centers pay the tab, not you.

A bipartisan group of colleagues and I met with Nobel Peace Prize winner, María Corina Machado, to ask her about how she sees her homeland now that Maduro has been removed. Machado is as determined as ever to see a better future for the Venezuelan people. She has my continued admiration and support.

In the 16 years since the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision, a flood of unlimited special interest money has been spent to influence our elections. We must fight for a more transparent democracy where every voter’s voice is heard.

This is yet another wake up call to the American people of Donald Trump’s disdain for the Constitution. Time and again, he has made it clear how little he cares for American democracy. people.com/donald-trump...

I joined @duckworth.senate.gov, @peters.senate.gov, and @slotkin.senate.gov to send a letter to OMB Director Russ Vought demanding OMB end its administrative review of the Brandon Road Interbasin Project.

I said I would tear up Trump's budget and write a new one—and that's what I made sure we did. The Senate passed 3 bills to fund everything from flood control projects to clean energy research, & more. I'm going to make sure CONGRESS decides how taxpayer funds get spent—not Trump.

First, the Pentagon kicks out reporters who reject gag rules. Now, Stars and Stripes applicants are asked how they’d advance Trump’s agenda. Access bans. Loyalty tests. This is not “merit hiring." It’s systematic censorship of military journalism.

No one should ignore these kinds of statements just because the President is delusional. We need to take it at face value. This is undemocratic and un-American. Oh, and by the way, we WILL have elections whether Trump thinks we should or not.

It took over a DECADE for Donald Trump to release a health care "plan", one entire page! And it will do absolutely NOTHING to stop your premiums from more than doubling.

With too many families struggling to afford everyday essentials like energy and health care, the President should be focused on lowering costs, not buying Greenland with $700 billion of taxpayer money.

Thousands of brave American women have made countless sacrifices to keep us safe and defend our democracy. A review of women’s military “effectiveness” undertaken by Anthony Tata and Pete Hegseth can’t be credible given their own troubled personal histories. youtube.com/shorts/8jsH-...

The resignations of dedicated career prosecutors from the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office are a serious loss. The DOJ’s politicization of the investigation into Renee Good’s killing is doing lasting damage to our justice system.

Again and again, courts have ruled that Trump lies about ICE's actions on the ground. ICE shot and killed a mom in broad daylight—they are instigating these disturbances. There is no excuse to escalate these lies and abuse the military to defend ICE's lawlessness.

It’s easy to watch the news and feel overwhelmed or even helpless at everything going on. I need you to fight that feeling. I’m an optimist. You have to be when you strap yourself to a rocket for a living. But there’s real reason to be hopeful this year and l’ll tell you why.

Just met w/ senior officials from Denmark & Greenland. When Trump says we need Greenland for security, remember: they already allow US & NATO bases there & don’t oppose additional measures. This is a land grab by Trump. Don't be shocked if he tries to rename it Trump-land.

The President has repeatedly called the affordability crisis a ‘hoax,’ but the truth is in the numbers. Costs have gone UP. This President lied when he promised to ‘bring down prices on day one.' Instead, he is wrecking our economy.
