“The U.S. added 50,000 jobs last month, slowest annual growth in a non-recession year since 2003, and significantly lower than the final year of Joe Biden’s presidency when two million jobs were added.”

NEWS: Since the passage of the INFORM Consumers Act, which I introduced, tens of millions of product listings have been removed from online marketplaces. I am pleased to see that this legislation has helped make it safer for people to purchase goods online.

Trump isn't just driving your prices up, he's also making it harder for you to find a job. Meanwhile, he's more focused on running foreign countries than helping the middle-class families he's neglecting here at home.

The House passed a bipartisan three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that Republicans voted to cut just last summer. It’s the critical next step in making sure all Americans have access to affordable, accessible, and universal health care. The Senate needs to vote on this ASAP.

One of the most corrupt presidents in history says his use of military force is only constrained by his “morality.” That should alarm every American.

Let me repeat: 2025 was the worst year for job growth outside of a recession since 2003. Trump's economic policy has been nothing short of a disaster since the start. How about instead of starting wars with foreign countries, we fix our problems here at home?

Today, President Trump is meeting with Big Oil CEOs. Trump must not give these companies billions in handouts and stick American taxpayers with the bill. And oil execs should commit now: no taxpayer subsidies, no special favors from the White House.

Early in my career, I learned that Americans need 3 things to feel secure: A roof over their head, a good-paying job and support in case they get sick. That's why I'm not giving up on the fight to address the cost of living and ensure Americans can afford their health insurance.

That's why I'm pushing Congress to uphold our duty to check Trump's recklessness and hold hearings on Trump's plan to work with Venezuela's authoritarian regime and exploit its oil. [2/2]

The American people deserve clarity as to why President Trump, after capturing Maduro, has kept our military off the coast of Venezuela and what his plan is moving forward. [1/2]

Last year, Trump gave $20 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Argentina. Now, he wants to pay Greenlanders tens of thousands of dollars each to take their land. But when it comes to lowering Americans’ health care, child care, and grocery costs, there’s no money in the bank.

This is a critical moment for the people of Iran. We’ve seen people bravely speak out about their future and the Iranian regime respond through violence, disinformation, and cutting Iranians off from the internet. 1/2

It’s important that state & local officials are involved in investigating this shooting. Under the Trump administration, DHS is nothing more than a miserable propaganda machine. We need answers & accountability. Our cities are not training grounds for trigger-happy DHS agents.

17 House Republicans joined with all House Democrats to pass a simple extension of the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits, which reduce health costs for 22 million Americans. Now we just need 13 Senate Republicans to do the same.

This pattern of "shoot first, then lie, lie, deny" has to stop. It's authoritarianism in action. The videos don't lie.

We know they can't be trusted. In Chicago, they shot a woman multiple times and charged her with assault with a deadly weapon, accusing her of being a domestic terrorist too—only to drop the charges when evidence including body camera footage contradicted their story.

One day after ICE killed a mom in Minneapolis, Trump's agents shot two more people in Portland. How does Trump and his team respond? Not remorse. Not empathy. Just declaring the cases closed before the facts come to light, then covering them up by blocking local investigators.

It was an incredible honor to meet Rabbi Ulman of Bondi and Ahmed al-Ahmed, the hero who saved countless lives during the antisemitic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach. Ahmed is a role model for us all. We must continue to fight antisemitism, hatred and bigotry wherever it rears its ugly head.

Another day, another billionaire oil magnate and Trump mega-donor who stands to profit big-time from the Venezuela operation. The corruption is bad enough, but when you remember they put American troops in harm's way to do it, it's sickening. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Trump’s economy is leaving workers behind. As families grapple with the surging cost of health care and the cost of everyday life keeps going up, it’s harder than ever to find a job.

ICE has done nothing to keep our communities safer. ICE agents are terrorizing folks in Oregon and across the country. I’m demanding full accountability—an investigation that involves Oregon officials—and ICE to immediately end these dangerous operations in Oregon.

There seems to be some confusion over at the White House about the difference between supporting the Venezuelan people’s fight for democracy & invading Venezuela to grab their oil for Trump’s billionaire buddies. Here’s a hint: one of them is an act of war. Hope this helps 👍!

Today's vote to advance our resolution to block further military action in Venezuela was significant. We'll now have a full debate on the Senate floor over the President's use of U.S. military forces, and a mission that seems to be far more about oil revenues than drugs.
