Disgusting. We need to pass my No Robot Bosses and Stop Spying Bosses Acts now to put an end to this weaponized surveillance and union-busting by machine.

Whether it's paying for gasoline, groceries, or rent, Hawaii's families have had to spend an EXTRA $6,000 just to get by under this regime.

When abortion bans sweep the country, it makes care more dangerous for everyone – including moms just trying to deliver healthy babies. Women deserve comprehensive care from doctors who can practice without fear. I’m fighting to restore Roe so all women get quality health care.

When we started Free Application Day in Colorado as Governor, we aimed to tear down barriers that prevented Colorado kids from pursuing a college education. The results have spoken for themselves. Millions in waived application fees each year, helping kids reach their full potential.

SpaceX got almost $6 BILLION in taxpayer-funded defense contracts last fiscal year. Meanwhile, SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk, has spent over $360 MILLION in our elections this cycle. This should be illegal — but it isn't. I'll be introducing a bill to close the loophole that allows it.

How do authoritarian tactics work? The goal is to create so many threats against you, your family, and your staff that you shut up. They wanna manufacture outrage. They all start repeating the same talking points. The goal is to crush your spirit. That fear becomes contagious. We can't let it.

People continue to die at the hands of ICE’s negligence. This agency is failing the people in its custody. We must hold this Administration accountable.

Nicole Smith-Holt’s son, Alec, died because he couldn’t afford his insulin. Lisa Demuth voted against capping the cost of insulin – twice – and is now trying to hide her record. Nicole spoke out to correct the record because Minnesotans deserve the truth.

NEW: I’m pressing directly on Big Tech to ensure their platforms don’t amplify our adversaries’ disinformation campaigns – or engage in any other meddling – in these critical final weeks before the election. Two weeks to go. We must stay vigilant against all forms of interference.

Trump is spending billions on an illegal war that nobody asked for. Imagine what that money could do if we funded childcare or healthcare instead. End the war in Iran. Invest in working families.

Virginia is for (research) lovers! 300+ Virginians at Haleon in Richmond are working on critical research for over-the-counter products, from Tums to Emergen-C. I’ll keep doing all I can on the Senate’s health committee to promote research and domestic drug manufacturing.

All of this makes it so Putin can kill more Ukrainian civilians, including children, and Trump can pretend he's getting closer to a deal. I’m glad to see some of my Republican colleagues calling out Trump's dangerous appeasement of Putin. We must do more.

Let's be really clear about what's happening: Trump is rolling over to give Putin what he wants, from easing sanctions to fund the Russian war machine to blocking Ukrainian access to critical technology for Ukraine’s defense.

Yesterday, I spoke w/ President Zelenskyy about Ukraine’s fight for freedom. His bravery and focus stand in sharp contrast to Trump's weakness.

Behind closed doors, the DoD has made a bad habit of classifying the minimal details they choose to tell Congress. Why? Because if it's classified, we can't talk about it and they can go on hiding the cost of this war from the public. No more. Americans deserve to know.

This is horrific. The cruelty of Trump's immigration agenda has led to at least 47 people dying in ICE custody under this administration. We urgently need increased oversight and accountability for Trump's immigration enforcement, including ICE.

Pleased to join @duckworth.senate.gov today in announcing that IDOT will receive more than $12 million to support the Southern Illinois Truck Parking Expansion Project. Truck drivers keep our economy moving, and they deserve safe, reliable places to rest while on the road.

An Egg McMuffin with OJ is now over 10 bucks. If you’re working a minimum wage job, that’s more than half an hour’s work in Arizona, and even more in many other states. Everything is more expensive in Trump’s economy.

Since learning about the Trump Administration's efforts to shutter the Bartlett Experimental Forest, I’ve done all I can to protect this critical facility from closure. While my meeting with USDA officials was productive, there is more work to be done to protect Bartlett.

Thank you to the child care leaders, parents, and providers who joined me at my town hall yesterday. Every story in that room came back to the same two problems: child care costs too much, and there aren’t enough spots for the families who need them. We have to do better for Arizona's families.

Without vital air defense interceptors, innocent Ukrainian civilians will suffer spiraling death & destruction from Putin’s bombing. Hegseth & Trump bear blame for their blood. Their complicity & cruelty stain America’s moral standing & national security. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

When ACA tax credits expire, families pay the price. Congress must restore these credits and make health care affordable again.

Tracy and her wife saw their health insurance premiums jump 268%, forcing them to choose between paying $3K a month or taking a chance on a plan with a $24K deductible. Days later, an ER visit left them with a massive bill.

Republicans made historic cuts to healthcare leaving 5 MILLION Americans without coverage while forcing over 300 hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes to either cut services or close altogether. That's not "MAHA." That's eliminating essential services no one should go without.

When you call out their corruption, President Trump and his allies don't like that. They attack you. They intimidate you. It's not going to work, because I believe this is simple. If you break the law, you should be held accountable.

Another day, another wildly corrupt plot that would shock the country under any other administration. Trump & his rich friends have turned the federal govt into a pay-to-play scheme — exchanging millions of dollars for favors & selling access to foreign tycoons. www.axios.com/2026/10/19/k...

It’s a clear conflict of interest for the Trump Administration to have their own lawyers represent immigrant children against their own deportation machine. We have two demands for Secretary Kennedy: (1) Drop this absurd plan (2) Restore independent legal counsel Now.

Why are Trump and his allies attacking me? I touched a nerve because I talked about corruption. The average person understands that the president is enriching himself and using taxpayer dollars to do it. It triggers them when you bring that up.

Trump is weaponizing our justice system to interfere in free and fair elections: targeting his political opponents, pressuring states to hand over voter rolls, and sending his Attorney General to campaign for Republicans.

Thank you to the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce for the chance to lay out our plans for leading Minnesota forward. From bringing down costs to expanding the economy, we’re ready to deliver results for the entire state. (As you can see from this video, even the birds liked it).
