Happy Korean American Day! New York is home to one of the largest and most vibrant Korean American communities in the nation. For 123 years, Korean Americans have shaped our culture, businesses, and neighborhoods, enriching the fabric of our state and country.

Let's be clear: this is a direct result of Republicans REFUSING to extend the ACA tax credits. The Senate could vote ANY DAY to extend them and help bring down your health care costs, but Leader Thune is refusing.

We do not have kings or dictators in America. These monuments belong to the people. Our bill would prevent Trump, or any other president, from using our public monuments to glorify & worship themselves.

Grocery prices are still going up for American families. And there is nothing in Venezuela or Greenland that is going to change that. How about focusing closer to home?

In case you missed it: Senate Democrats tried to stop a Trump Administration rule from raising health care costs, and Republicans blocked us. The folks stuck paying the price will be working families.

We’re days away from the final day to enroll for 2026 health care coverage on healthcare.gov, and instead of stopping Americans’ premiums from skyrocketing, my Senate Republican colleagues are choosing to jack up costs for families already struggling to get by.

I met with Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng to discuss many shared interests and areas of disagreement between the U.S. and China. I commend Ambassador Xie for his willingness to discuss these issues with me, and I hope China can help bring an end to the war in Ukraine and ease tensions in the SCS.

Lower costs and affordable health care. Why can’t President Trump get it in his head that’s what Americans want?

At a time when so many big law firms, corporations and universities are caving to Trump’s bullying, we need to celebrate the individual acts of conscience by those who refuse to be complicit in Trump’s lawlessness. We salute you for standing up!

It is genuinely insane to see Republicans give credence to Trump's DELUSION that America should take over Greenland. We're talking about a NATO ally! Every member of Congress should have no problem SHUTTING THIS DOWN!

Giant corporations are donating millions to Donald Trump's ballroom vanity project while they have business in front of his administration. Does that sound right to you? I pressed for more information — and we just got some answers.

Health care is a fundamentally broken system. It’s about time we do something about it. We need a public insurance option.

America could restore its leadership on human rights and right past wrongs. Instead, the Trump Administration is expanding Guantánamo Bay to unjustly and inhumanely detain migrants. We have to close it once and for all.

The first numbers are in. Over 1 million fewer people have signed up for insurance on the ACA than at this time last year. This is Trump's premium hikes at work. In the wealthiest nation on earth, millions are being forced to go without health care. It's a moral tragedy.

Americans are struggling with the high cost of groceries, housing, child care, and everything in between. Meanwhile, instead of focusing on fulfilling his promises to bolster the economy and bring prices down, Trump is more interested in waging illegal wars around the world.

Students with disabilities often face unnecessary barriers and costly tests to reestablish documented disabilities when they head off to college. I helped introduce a bill so colleges accept high school documentation – saving both students and schools time and money.

This Republican Congress needs to decide if they support DHS agents brutalizing an innocent American teenager. This kind of behavior is heinous—and it sure doesn't seem like it's uncommon. There MUST be serious accountability for ICE and CBP. This is NOT immigration enforcement.

This regime is lying to you about what happened on January 6th, 2021. I was there. I saw the violent insurrection with my very eyes. Their lies will never erase the pain, terror, and damage inflicted on our democracy, our country, and those who lost loved ones.

If this reporting is true, there is a SERIOUS problem at DHS that might explain the lack of discipline we're seeing play out across the country. Law enforcement officers should be held to the highest standard of the law, and we should be vetting them thoroughly.

This isn’t just about Senator Kelly’s rights. It’s about your first amendment rights & the rights of all veterans. In America, you’re allowed to disagree with the government without the government unfairly punishing you. I hope the court moves to curb Trump Admin’s authoritarian impulses.

At last month’s Cabinet meeting, Trump publicly called Somali immigrants “garbage.” Now, his Administration is terminating Somalia’s designation for Temporary Protected Status. Does the President really think Somalia is a safe or stable place for these individuals to return? I think not.

Persistent and often dangerous staffing shortages at federal prisons nationwide cause safety concerns for BOP personnel and incarcerated individuals alike. My new, bipartisan bill will help ensure staff within our federal prisons are paid adequately for the critical work they do.

Trump and Republicans raised taxes on clean energy last year, destroying our best opportunity to hold down people's energy bills as data centers gobble up electricity. Anything he says he's doing on energy costs now is a fraud.

The Iranian govt's attacks on protestors are unacceptable, & as I've said before, we must support the Iranian people's fight for a better future. But bombs do not create democracies and they are not the answer. Is Trump's plan to just bomb every dictatorship in the world?

Food prices are up. Health care is more expensive. President Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Instead, his harmful policies caused prices to soar, and he isn’t doing a damn thing to fix it.

@duckworth.senate.gov and I introduced an amendment to the government funding bill to reverse the President’s proposed budget cut to the Chicago Harbor Lock, one of America’s busiest locks. A lock this large must have the critical resources it needs to run its operations.

This was already struck down by a federal court last month. Directly after, we visited the Aurora ICE facility to ensure they were following the order. Now, Sec. Noem has found a loophole. We’ve fought this before, we’ll fight this again. Congressional oversight is constitutionally required.

Trump claims he is an economic populist then governs as a plutocrat. He isn’t interested in cutting costs for Americans. Trump only cares about cutting taxes for CEO billionaires and slashing benefits for the vulnerable. He has no credibility on affordability.
