Last week, I met with leadership of the Valley National Bank and Urban League of Essex County, members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of NY, to tour one of their affordable housing units in Newark, NJ. Building affordable units is crucial to addressing the housing crisis in our country. 1/2

Binance has repeatedly routed millions to Iran-backed proxy groups while also being a key backer of Trump’s crypto profiteering. I am demanding answers into Binance’s role in violating sanctions laws — and its business entanglements with the Trump family.

Trump found one cost he’s willing to share with working families: the bill for his ballroom.

I just went to the Senate floor to force Republicans on the record. They sided with Trump’s insurrectionist army and his corrupt IRS tax exemption scheme instead of hardworking American families.

Last April, Trump & Miller plotted to take away the habeas corpus rights of Kilmar Abrego Garcia & other immigrants, to aid their illegal mass deportation agenda. But our Constitution is clear: everyone gets due process. Threatening the rights of one, threatens the rights of all.

There you have it: your tax dollars are paying for Trump's gold encrusted ballroom. Trump meant it when he said your financial situation is the last of his concerns.

Donald Trump said taxpayers wouldn’t pay a dime for his gold-plated ballroom. He lied. Working families shouldn't be stuck footing the bill for a vanity project while costs keep climbing. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

I’m introducing w/ Sen Markey the Asal Sayas National Strategy on Young Adult Cancers Act, named in memory of Asal, my incredible former staffer who we recently lost after a valiant battle with cancer. It builds on Asal's work to strengthen research, diagnoses, & treatments for young adult cancers.

Millions of Americans struggle to pay for the insulin they need daily to survive. By capping monthly insulin costs at just $35, my INSULIN Act would change that. With 26 bipartisan cosponsors, we have the votes needed to pass this bill through the Senate. Let's get it done.

While Americans are paying more for health care, gas, groceries, and energy, Trump is taking more than $300 million taxpayer dollars and forcing it toward his vanity ballroom project.

The President promised the American people that his fancy new ballroom wasn’t going to be built with taxpayer dollars. Another promise he didn't keep. We've just learned that half of it is paid for by your money.

Trump says he "loves" inflation. We can tell. Since he took office, people in Hawaii are paying $872 MORE for housing, $310 MORE for groceries, and $263 MORE for gas. $4,100 MORE because Trump prioritizes anything but lowering costs for Americans.

Our system is rigged so that one man becomes a trillionaire while millions of Americans can't afford a trip to the doctor. Wealth is funneled to the wealthy while everyone else is hanging on by their fingernails. My wealth tax would level the playing field. Let's get it done.

Taxpayers will be paying $300 MILLION for Trump’s party palace. So when he said it would be privately funded, that was a lie.

Heartbroken for the eight brave servicemembers who perished in today's crash at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Their service to our nation can never be repaid, but we owe it to them and their families to try.

Trump's demand to tie the SAVE Act to FISA proves, once again, that he has no problem undermining US national security if he thinks it will help him politically. The SAVE Act is a vicious piece of anti-voting rights legislation. It will not pass. www.axios.com/2026/06/14/t...

It’s been nearly 24 hours since Donald Trump announced an “understanding” with Iran, and we still don’t have any details. Trump must brief Congress and the American people and explain the details of this deal immediately, and put an end this war once and for all.

14 years ago, DACA opened the door to opportunity for hundreds of thousands of Dreamers. Dreamers are Americans by every measure that matters. They are our neighbors, coworkers, classmates—they grew up here and belong here. Congress must finally provide a pathway to citizenship.

Dreamers grew up in America. They study, work, and live in America. They make America better, and they belong in America. 🇺🇸 The Dream Act is bipartisan. We should pass it today. There is no need to force these young people to live in fear and uncertainty.

After spending about a billion tax dollars a day on his illegal war with Iran, Trump is now agreeing to a $300 BILLION Iran reconstruction fund? The more we learn about this “deal,” the worse it becomes.
