The Trump administration doesn't care if you die—as long as their rich friends stay rich. Also, this sounds illegal.

The Senate has already voted four times on a bipartisan basis to reject Trump's illegal trade war. No blank checks for Donald Trump’s endless trade wars. No blank checks for senseless tariffs.

The Roadless Rule has been an amazing success story—protecting 45 million acres of national lands nationwide, including 400,000 acres in Virginia. I will keep pushing for legislation to codify the rule and safeguard other wilderness areas in the Commonwealth.

I joined @heathercoxrichardson on Friday to talk about the path forward for my party, and how we need a commonsense immigration policy that embodies this truth: immigrants make all of us – including Americans – stronger and more prosperous.

Trump’s tariffs are an illegal theft of Congress’ authority over trade and tax—the Supreme Court should strike these harmful and senseless tariffs down.

This investigation is a sham — and yet another example of Trump's dangerous weaponization of our justice system. He pardons his friends, convicted drug kingpins, & Jan 6th rioters who attacked police, but goes after Chair Powell for refusing to act as a rubber stamp.

THIS WEEK: The Senate will vote to pass our war powers resolution and affirm Congress' constitutional authority on matters of war and peace. Will Republicans stand with the majority of Americans who don’t want another endless war?

To this administration, your life and the health of our communities is just the cost of doing business.

Anyone with two eyes and half a brain knows exactly what the DOJ’s criminal probe into Jerome Powell represents: a brazen attempt by Donald Trump to weaponize the DOJ and bully America's central bank into submission.

The Fed sets interest rates based on economic data & what’s best for Americans. For Trump, the best interests of the American people matter less than his political goals. That’s why the Trump DOJ is attacking the Fed.

Crooked Trumpsters’ bogus effort to stop offshore wind blew up in federal court today. Stopping clean energy raises customers’ costs, but the money goes to fossil fuel power plants (aka Trump’s big donors). The corrupt scam took a beating today in court.

Last week, 17 House Republicans finally stood up against Trump & voted to extend ACA tax credits and lower health care costs. Now, Senate Republicans must do the same & join Dems to protect affordable health care for millions of Americans.

Groceries shouldn’t be a luxury – but Trump’s reckless trade war has cost Nevada families almost $1,000 extra already. Senate Republicans shamefully blocked my bill to exempt your weekly trip to the grocery store from Trump’s tariffs, but I won’t stop fighting to lower costs any way I can.

Americans are looking to Congress to take tangible actions to help ease the affordability crisis. Restoring the ACA tax credits remains one of the best ways that we can do that. I'm going to keep working in the Senate to find a bipartisan solution.

Fed Chair Powell is doing his job—making decisions based on facts and data, not Trump’s reckless demands. Once again, this regime is using DOJ to attack Trump's perceived political enemies, further undermining our democracy, our economy, and the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Donald Trump doesn't even have concepts of a plan for Venezuela, but he's already briefed big oil executives on how they make money from his invasion. Once again, he's prioritizing himself and his billionaire buddies over our democracy and the American people. apnews.com/article/trum...

A judge restored funding for the American Academy of Pediatrics that helps prevent unexpected infant death, increases pediatric care in rural areas, improves care for newborns, and more. Retaliating against Americans’ pediatricians is not how we protect our kids.

If they can do it to Venezuela, they can do it to Russia. Closing off Russia’s shadow fleet oil revenue, and starting to seize Russia’s frozen assets for Ukraine, would bring Putin to the table pronto.

Noem is once again trying to obstruct oversight at ICE facilities. This comes just days after we found out DHS LIED about a shooting in Maryland & we all saw the horrible killing of Renee Good. We cannot just hope for better. No more money for DHS without accountability.

Repost if you agree: The Senate should vote TODAY to extend the ACA tax credits. The House already passed a bill with a three-year extension that would bring down premiums for MILLIONS of Americans. Now it’s up to the Senate. Leader Thune: Let the Senate vote ASAP.

The Roadless Rule -- which limits clear-cutting and roadbuilding in America’s last remaining pristine forests -- turns 25 today! I've fought for the Rule since 2001 because Washingtonians depend on our 2 million acres to safeguard clean drinking water sources and our $25+billion outdoor rec economy.

Let’s be clear: Targeting Jerome Powell is just the latest escalation of Trump's corrupt weaponization of the government in his pursuit of unfettered power. These actions will only weaken the economy, even as they threaten to chill and silence the president’s critics. Powell is right to speak out.

The President is playing with fire. By attacking the independence of the Federal Reserve, he is risking even higher inflation and economic chaos. I will do everything in my power to block Trump's nominees to the Fed until he stops playing political games with our economy.

There are a lot of business leaders who have groveled and capitulated to this White House who could learn a thing or two from Fed Chair Powell. Trump is not inevitable. The more of us that speak out against his corruption, the less power he has. Speak up. Don't cave.

This is what happens when you give crooks free run of the place. This is a nakedly political and corrupt farce of an investigation. This Republican Congress needs to STAND UP and defend the independence of the Fed. Block ANY Fed nominee until this sham investigation ends.
