How many more kids do we have to lose? How many more teachers, parents, brothers, and sisters before the people standing in the way finally work with us? I'm sending love to these families. But love isn't enough. We have to act.

Our hearts are with the families of the children and educators killed yesterday at an Oregon elementary school. No parent should fear for their kid's life at school. No kid should fear they'll die at school. Colorado knows this grief too well, and we know it doesn't have to be this way.

Too many Americans are struggling to afford the insulin they need to survive. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would cap monthly insulin costs at $35 for Americans with private insurance. It’s time for Congress to take action to lower these costs.

This is a big deal. No paths to climate safety remain, unless we end pollute-for-free. The only global price is EU CBAM carbon tariff — our last lifeboat. Australia, Canada, Mexico and others should negotiate admission. (California should get a waiver.) www.politico.eu/article/uk-e...

Donald Trump's proudest accomplishment is taking food away from working families to give his donors another tax cut.

Everyone’s talking about AI. In Pullman, we mean Apple Innovation. 🍎 I got to celebrate WSU’s new ag research center, a project I’ve fought for in every funding bill for 20+ years. They’re tackling crop disease, using artificial intelligence for farmers, and yes, the next great apple. Go Cougs! 🐾

No American should ever have to fear for their life because of their faith or identity. I’m thankful to all those who took action to prevent this potential tragedy.

The reported plot to carry out a mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois is deeply disturbing. This display of white supremacy and anti-Indian hatred is vile and dangerous, and it has no place in our country.

As always in Trumpland: no conflict, no interest. The reek of corruption is gagging the American public, but elected Republicans don’t dare utter a squeak. www.reuters.com/business/med...

Nevadans are sick of paying more for health care, gas, groceries, and rent because of Trump’s tariffs and war in Iran. While Trump continues to insist the economy is great, Nevadans know the truth: his leadership has cost them $4,400 extra since he took office. Here’s how it breaks down:

Wall Street executives helped finance Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes for years. The Trump Administration has failed to hold them accountable. If it won’t, Congress will.

The disruption of Starshield systems will only prolong Putin’s brutal war in Ukraine and puts American personnel at risk. I joined a bipartisan group of colleagues to demand the DOD Inspector General immediately investigate this restriction on Ukraine’s ability to defend itself.

Trump and Republicans’ cuts to SNAP are making it harder for families, including here in Delaware, to put food on the table. I’ll always fight to protect SNAP and the families who depend on it.

Today is World Food Day, but across the country, millions of people are losing access to food assistance. SNAP participation has fallen to its lowest level in nearly two decades, even as food prices remain high.

Public health is as important as our national defense. It needs to be trusted and grounded in science and facts. We can’t just put back what Trump and RFK Jr. broke. I'm working to build something that can’t be broken again.

Because of record high heating oil costs, Granite Staters will now pay around $1,500 to fill their home heating oil tank – $610 more than last year. Families across the Northeast rely on heating oil to stay warm in winter, but Trump's Iran War has caused prices to skyrocket.

Trump said he would end the Ukraine war in a day and the Iran war in a few weeks. He was dead wrong. Now, by buying diesel fuel from Russia, Trump is fueling both wars to last longer. Whose side is he on? Trump is risking lives for an empty campaign talking point.

A teenager used a gun to murder innocent children. An educator died in a job that should not be life threatening. And yet the GOP majority will again resist any meaningful effort to stop the next school shooting. This is the reality of the current Congress. And it’s heartbreaking.

I’m deeply disturbed by the plot targeting a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois. White supremacist violence threatens the values that define our democracy and has no place in our society. I stand with the Hindu-American community and all those targeted for their faith.

Erdogan has now taken over 5 major news outlets in Turkey. Meanwhile, what is the supposed leader of the free world doing? Going after political opponents & banning media outlets from covering him. Trump's crackdowns only embolden authoritarians the world over.

I am heartbroken by the news of another devastating school shooting, this time in Oregon. We can't keep living like this and children can't keep dying like this. Congress must take action to end gun violence now.

And a reminder to our local leaders: before you come to the federal government, what have you done to really look inward at where your local regulations are holding back more housing, more development?

I’m very big into this idea that local zoning and local rules and regulations actually really are holding some of our communities back on housing.

@congressmanraja.bsky.social, whose family was at the temple that day, is right: we can’t wait until people are killed to take these threats seriously.

I’m grateful to the people who spoke up and to the Palatine and Mount Prospect police for acting fast. Our hearts are with the temple community, who should have been able to worship in peace, especially during Navaratri.

No one should have to fear for their safety in their house of worship. This weekend, police thwarted an attempt to carry out a mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois. The would-be attacker was driven by hatred of Indian Americans and a belief in white supremacy.

This is heartbreaking. From this senseless act in Bend to the daily toll of violence on our communities, we must do better for our children. We need to pass gun safety laws now. Anyone who stands in the way is complicit.

This is heartbreaking. Kids are being killed in class. And it's been 13 years since the Sandy Hook shooting. It's way past time for Congress to pass gun safety reforms. My heart goes out to every family suffering with a loss tonight. Our kids deserve better.

Trump wants to create an entirely new federal agency to do the exact same work the Department of Education already does—and call it "efficiency." It's illegal without Congress. And more than 40 million student loan borrowers will pay the price.

The amount of insider trading and corruption in this administration is breathtaking. And when they are not engaged in it themselves, they turn a blind eye to others who are. All of this raises the price that ordinary families have to pay for food, gas and medicine. It is the cost of corruption.
