Reckless & dangerous. Sec. Kennedy is now requiring parents who want to vaccinate their kids against the flu to go to the doctor before they can get a shot. Children are dying from the flu. Making vaccines harder to get will cost lives.
- PM
RFK Jr. is a dangerous man whose conspiracy theories are putting children’s lives at risk. There is NO evidence behind this decision, and it will only cause more preventable diseases to spread. RFK Jr. should never have been confirmed. He should be FIRED or RESIGN.

Kennedy's conspiracy-fueled leadership of the CDC endangers every American — especially our children. This move fails to meet the scientific criteria for CDC guidance & will cause more confusion around vaccines that save lives. This man is a threat to our nation’s health.

Trump says he’s not afraid of boots on the ground in Venezuela. What is the plan here? Are we really going to deploy American sons and daughters and put them on the ground in Latin America with no clear objectives, vision, or leadership?

Vaccines keep kids out of ICUs. Vaccines keep schools safe. Vaccines. Save. Lives.

Take a step back and think about Hegseth’s decision to censure Mark Kelly: Former Major Hegseth is trying to demote and cut the pension of a 25-year military pilot for saying the *very same things* Hegseth himself said in 2016.

Trump promised lower costs and America first. But as healthcare and grocery bills skyrocket, he is focused on building ballrooms, renaming the Kennedy Center and literally running another country. This is not what America asked for. This is not what America deserves.

President Trump’s rampage against Colorado will not go unanswered.

A question for President Trump: what’s the goal in Venezuela? And what are you asking American servicemembers to sacrifice to make it happen?

Trump's reckless attack on Venezuela has left Massachusetts families trapped after their holiday travels. I am keeping a close eye on the Department of Transportation and the airlines to ensure they are working to safely get families home without delay or financial hardship.

I will vote for the bipartisan war powers resolution to block President Trump from continuing his illegal military action in Venezuela. We can’t let President Trump drag us into another forever war.

As if Measles coming back wasn't bad enough, Sec. Kennedy now wants to put our children at risk of contracting Meningitis by removing it from the childhood vaccine schedule. He needs to be fired immediately.

Mark Kelly is a patriot who has served his country in combat, space missions, and the U.S. Senate. The Trump administration’s threats and intimidation won’t stop Senator Kelly from standing up for the country he’s always served.

These people hardly believe in anything. They lied to the American people to win an election, and now we're all paying the price. I opposed the war in Iraq from the outset, and I will oppose any war in Venezuela as well. No occupation. No "boots on the ground."

RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine crusade makes "America First" in reversing decades of progress to keep kids healthy. Today's announcement means more children and families will suffer under Trump and RFK's Make America Sick Agenda.

On Ekpar Asat’s 41st birthday, I’m calling for his immediate and unconditional release after years of unjust imprisonment by the Chinese Communist Party. He has spent nearly a decade in prison, including years in solitary confinement, for a fabricated crime.

Socialism for the rich. Handouts for billionaires, health care cuts for you.

Today, I joined Celltrion for the opening of their facility in Branchburg, NJ. This is what the Einstein Corridor is all about: global innovation in medicine and technology that starts right here in our state. It’s an exciting time to be a New Jerseyan!

The Trump Administration’s changes to the childhood vaccine schedule will endanger children’s health and wellbeing. Decisions surrounding vaccines should be made based on sound science, not Secretary Kennedy’s conspiracy theories.

No one should bemoan the end of Maduro's reign. But Trump's illegal operation is about more than just Venezuela. It's about a President believing he has no limit to his power as Commander in Chief. Congress must say no to this abuse of force.

Thank you to the brave firefighters, first responders, and local community members who battled Friday's massive apartment construction fire in Denver. Your dedication to public safety reflects the very best of Colorado.

It's one of the WORST flu seasons on record, and what is our HHS Secretary doing? GUTTING access to the flu vaccine. How many children will have to die before RFK Jr. is fired? He is a danger to our children, our schools, and our nation. He must go.

Who wins from Trump’s illegal war for oil on Venezuela? Big Oil Billionaires. Who loses? The rest of us. The Venezuelan people deserve better, and the American people deserve transparency. I’m demanding answers.

Outrageous—oil executives notified of a military strike before Congress. And Trump's putting the lives of U.S. servicemembers at risk to help his donors get rich off Venezuela's oil. It's not about democracy or drugs. It's Iraq all over again, just more openly corrupt.

Heartbroken to learn that a powerful advocate for improving Black maternal health, herself, passed away during childbirth. Harrowing stories like hers remind us of the urgent work we have to do to address the maternal mortality crisis we currently face.

I’ve been sounding the alarm on ICE’s dangerous facial recognition technology—and now we’re seeing the consequences. The Trump administration is weaponizing this technology to target Black and Brown communities and expand its authoritarian surveillance network. This must end now.

Lowering costs or reckless conflict in Venezuela? I’ll bet 90% of Americans prefer the former. Trump and Republicans are completely out of touch.

I’m honored to count Senator Mark Kelly as my colleague and friend. He risked his life in service to our country and is now being attacked by the current administration. It is wrong and it is hateful.

The commonsense energy circuit riders pilot is an effective way to help communities take on clean energy and energy efficiency projects that lower costs. I'm proud that we were able to bring the successful model run by Concord’s Clean Energy NH to the national level.

Union employees at SBA were reinstated with back pay after facing back-and-forth firings, chaos, and cruelty last year. I’m proud to have worked with AFGE and my Senate colleagues to bring stability to our civil servants and SBA. This illegal mistreatment must never happen again.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

While millions of Americans lose health care and prices are surging here at home, Trump doesn't care and has no solutions. Instead, he is threatening to bomb half the Western Hemisphere, occupy Venezuela, and annex Greenland. Is this America First?
- TD
It is wildly inappropriate for the Trump Admin to go after its political critics like this—let alone heroes like Sen. Kelly. Kelly is a patriot who has always put our American democracy first and always supported our servicemembers and the rule of law. Something neither Trump or Hegseth can say.

Mark Kelly is an American hero who bravely served his country for decades. The US military exists to protect Americans' free speech—not suppress it. Hegseth and Trump clearly don't understand this, and the use of military resources and funding for a sham censure is a disgrace.

Trump's baseless attacks on America and New York’s offshore wind projects are killing good-paying union jobs and driving up electricity costs. He must reverse this order and allow these projects to deliver low-cost energy to American families.

Residue of the Trumpsters’ plan to screw up Social Security’s operations so badly that Musk-rats and tech bros could take it over. Looks like we beat that back, like we beat back the surreptitious Republican half-trillion dollar cut to Medicare. Gotta watch them like hawks.

Governor Walz’s decision to not seek re-election is what it looks like when leaders put the interests of the people before politics. Tim’s career has been defined by getting results for Minnesotans, doing the right thing, and always putting people first.

Trump risked American lives to kidnap Maduro just to have him replaced by one of Maduro's authoritarian cronies. This has nothing to do with drugs or ousting an authoritarian leader. It's a clown car of incompetence in an effort to enrich oil companies.

Following my bipartisan push, major lab testing companies are taking steps to help reduce children’s exposure to toxic lead. Clearly stating on blood test results that there is no safe lead exposure for children will help ensure that parents can take action against lead exposure.
