Energy bills are rising in New Jersey and across the country thanks to President Trump's petty political culture war against clean, reliable, affordable energy that creates good-paying jobs.

With just about one day left to enroll in health care coverage through the ACA, 1.4 million Americans have already lost health care coverage due to the surging cost of premiums. We must keep working to find a bipartisan solution that will lower health care costs for families.

Instead of working to lower costs, Senate Republicans are using one of the first committee hearings of 2026 to push for a nationwide medication abortion ban, despite mifepristone’s safety and efficacy. We should be delivering for Americans, not rolling back women’s rights.

Anti-abortion extremists are trying to weaponize the EPA against women by saying that medication abortion is POISONING THE WATER SUPPLY and that people are "drinking each other's abortions." Here's what Republicans' star witness had to say. This is just insane.

Arlit Maria Martinez wanted to see her son, Kevin, who was dying of cancer. ICE chose to ignore her requests. Kevin passed away two days after Arlit was detained. This Administration keeps choosing cruelty over compassion. It's disgraceful.

Regardless of whether she’s the target of an investigation, this morning’s raid on a WaPo reporter’s home sends a chilling message to journalists trying to do reporting in the national interest. Every American should stand up against this clear assault on the First Amendment & freedom of the press.

NEWS: Overnight, the Trump Administration cut off $2 billion from our fight against the fentanyl epidemic and to get people mental health care. Americans are struggling and need help – but the Trump administration is turning their back on them. This is reckless and dangerous.

The Trump Administration is weaponizing government to intimidate people who disagree with Trump. Senator Slotkin's service to this country and Michiganders speaks for itself. I'm proud that she speaks truth to power.

President Trump’s war on drugs will take more than a new President in Venezuela. Last night’s termination of addiction treatment is a step backwards that will cost lives. His cuts show this Admin is more interested in building White House ballrooms than life-saving clinics.

Soaring health care costs are squeezing millions of families. Affordable health care should be a top priority for Congress. Yet, Republicans just blocked a clean, three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that already passed the House in a bipartisan vote.

President Trump is right. My bill with Senator Marshall and Senator Durbin would increase competition in the credit card market to bring down swipe fees for small businesses and consumers. Let’s get this done.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked the clean ACA tax credit extension that the House passed to save millions of people thousands of dollars each. If you’re paying double or even triple for health insurance, blame Trump and the Senate GOP.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked an extension of the ACA tax credits. AGAIN. This legislation passed the House with BIPARTISAN support. Republicans are playing games while your health care premiums more than double.

The administration is sending 1,000 more ICE agents to Minnesota. That's over 3,000 federal agents flooding our streets, almost triple the combined police forces of Minneapolis and St. Paul. ICE is sowing chaos in our communities. They need to get off our streets immediately.

Donald Trump once again tried to gaslight the American people about the affordability crisis. In a rambling speech attempting to show he cares about the struggles of ordinary Americans, he called it a FAKE. Tell that to anyone who actually has to work for a living.

@schumer.senate.gov just attempted to again pass BIPARTISAN, House-passed legislation to extend ACA tax credits and lower costs for millions – Senate Republicans blocked it. They are purposefully spiking costs for MILLIONS of Americans. But we will stay in the fight.

A Senator makes a truthful statement, protected by First Amendment and Speech/Debate Clause, and gets investigated by DOJ. An ICE agent shoots and kills an unarmed mom, and they won’t even cooperate with local law enforcement.

Trump continues to go after those who disagree with him because he wants to maintain power. I’ll continue to stand with my colleagues like @slotkin.senate.gov who stand up to Trump’s mob boss politics, and call out the President’s clear intimidation attacks.

Trump’s naked political attack against Jerome Powell and the Fed is so dangerous that even Republicans are whispering in the hallways about their concerns—but actions speak louder than words. Republicans should step up and use their oversight powers to bring the DOJ to heel.

BREAKING: I'm headed to the Senate floor to move to pass legislation passed by the House last week to extend the ACA premium tax credits for three years. The American people need relief, and today we have a chance to deliver it.

The House passed a health care plan to extend the ACA tax credits for 3 years. Now it's up to Senate Republicans to decide. Do they want their constituents to be able to afford health care, or do they want to suck up to Donald Trump?

COST: Home insurance costs are up 8.2% in one year as climate risk roils markets. That cascades into mortgage/real estate markets, so buckle up. CORRUPTION: The fossil fuel industry’s climate denial fraud has real costs to Americans, and Republicans going along with the fraud are accountable.

Watch this. @slotkin.senate.gov lays out exactly what it looks like when a president uses the FBI and DOJ as political weapons to punish free speech. The goal is clear: intimidate critics and chill dissent.

History shows what happens when politicians try to influence interest rates: more inflation, higher prices, and more economic uncertainty. The Trump Administration should focus on policies that will actually lower costs, not risking the independence of the Federal Reserve.

We must ban members of Congress from buying, owning and selling stocks. But House Republicans' new bill fails to do that — lawmakers can continue to own and sell stocks. It’s absurd and an insult to people’s intelligence. Stop playing games. Ban congressional stock trading.

Joe Thompson and the 5 other Minnesota prosecutors who resigned are incredible public servants who led major investigations into fraud, sex trafficking, and missing people. The DOJ’s politicization of our justice system has resulted in a real loss for Minnesota and for public safety.

Politicians in both parties have told Michigan workers for 30 years that cooperation with the Chinese Communist Party will mean more jobs and higher paychecks. But we know what happens in reality because we've lived it: millions of our manufacturing jobs shipped overseas. Ban Chinese cars.
