Honored to earn the endorsement of Education Minnesota. My mom taught 2nd grade until she was 70, and education made my family’s story possible. I will work to strengthen our schools and focus on success for our students, parents, educators and state.

The antisemitic attack on a Jewish-owned business in Cavendish is disturbing and unacceptable. I’m grateful the Vermont State Police have started an investigation. Antisemitism has no place in Vermont, and we all must reject it. https://bit.ly/49fkWfX

Donald Trump is trying to save his power at any cost. It will not work.

As gas continues to rise, Trump is awarding himself a $1.8 billion slush fund for his loyalists — all while slashing your healthcare to cut taxes for the super wealthy. Arizonans are filling up their tanks wondering who Washington is actually working for.

I pressed the Secretary of the Air Force to provide the VA with accurate records proving these veterans served at locations where they were exposed, and I'll keep fighting to correct this injustice.
- JR
Veterans who served at contaminated locations – like parts of the Nevada Test and Training Range – should have the same presumption of radiation exposure as other government employees who served alongside them.

Republicans moved heaven and earth to pass tax breaks for billionaires and mega corporations—and then Trump walked away from minimum wage and overtime protections for nearly 4 million workers. This is as anti-worker and pro-billionaire as it gets.

Remember when Trump promised he would Make America Healthy Again? Now, he wants to scrub limits on cancer-causing chemicals in our drinking water. He said "MAHA" to get elected and then turned around and let polluters poison our drinking water.

If Donald Trump ends legal protections for Haitian workers, everyone will suffer. Our health care system is already on the brink of collapse thanks to Trump, and this decision would put patient care at risk nationwide. We must keep fighting back.

It’s called the 14th amendment. It’s in our constitution, President Trump. We know you’re cheap on everything but ballrooms, so we found you the cheapest one.

Folks in Oregon and across the country are shouldering the cost of skyrocketing gas prices thanks to Trump's illegal war with Iran. A new Brown University report shows consumers have already spent over $40 BILLION extra on gas since the start of the war. Just wrong.
- AK
Gas prices are up more than 40% from a year ago. Americans are paying the price for the president’s war with Iran at the pump, at the grocery store, and in their summer travel plans.

Powerful tribute to our fallen servicemembers at Fort Adams this Memorial Day weekend. Special thanks to Operation Stand Down Rhode Island for organizing their 10th annual Boots on the Grounds for Heroes Memorial and bringing RIers together to honor U.S. servicemembers killed in action.

Hence the clean energy blockade, creating a huge money pump, extracting money from electricity ratepayers, and sending it to Trump’s corrupt fossil fuel donors. Think that’s coincidence?
- SW
They’ve noticed that when they block clean energy, the grid has to go up the “generation stack” to their expensive units. Customers pay a lot more for their expensive energy, but the extra billions customers pay ends up in their own pockets.
- SW
Crooked fossil fuel interests noticed, because ratepayers saving money meant them losing money, so they’ve been using their influence over Trump to block low-cost energy.
- SW
You can see that at demand levels of 68 GW, the electricity cost on the Texas grid was only a third of what it was before the low-cost clean energy surge. That’s big ratepayer savings.
- SW
After the surge of low-cost clean energy, the Texas demand/cost curve looked like this.

- SW
From August 2018 to August 2024, low-cost clean energy surged on to the Texas grid; solar, wind, and battery added 17.6 GW additional power.

In August 2018, the cost of power on the Texas grid at varying levels of demand looked like this. 🧵

I met with Bristol Myers Squibb to learn about their work in neurology and how we can support innovative treatments for Alzheimer’s patients. We need to improve the system of care for people living with Alzheimer's disease from affordable medications to access to long-term care.

He's not sharing his military decisions with Congress, nor his own Pentagon. This is a rogue, incompetent Commander in Chief with no plans or strategies. Just chaos. And none of it makes America safer.

While costs are through the roof, what has the president been focused on? -Fighting a war costing taxpayers billions of dollars. -Building a billion-dollar ballroom and an arch dedicated to himself. Not lowering your costs.

You can’t make this up – Donald Trump wants to pay his friends $1.8 billion of your tax dollars. Just remember – this is the same president who cut funding for Medicaid and SNAP to give more tax breaks to his billionaire buddies. Watch:

Yesterday, Republicans punted their OWN BILL that would give ICE and Border Patrol another $70 billion while doing nothing to help everyday Americans. That's how bad the bill is. We'll keep fighting back!

As families travel for Memorial Day Weekend, parents could get stuck with expensive fees if they want to sit with their young children on a plane. I’m demanding the DOT implement my law to ban these fees so that families won’t have to pay more while airlines rake in profits.

No amount of intimidation from Trump’s FBI will change the fact that he lost the 2020 election. This is an abuse of power and a waste of resources, and I fear Trump is doing this to set the stage to meddle in the next election. He needs to cut it out and respect Wisconsin voters.

Trump’s war with Iran has cost Americans more than $42 billion in gas and diesel costs. That’s more than $300 per family. Not peanuts.

I’m really pleased that the Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport will receive $260,000 to build a children’s play area and install a new lactation pod, making it easier for families to fly. The funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law we worked hard to pass in 2021.

Donald Trump's settlement makes it official government policy that Trump, his family, and his political allies are above the law. It's outrageously corrupt, and it must be stopped. I'm pressing for answers NOW.

Mifepristone has been used safely and effectively for decades and restricting access to it puts women’s lives at risk. I joined all my Senate Democratic colleagues to keep fighting to ensure access to mifepristone and protect women’s reproductive rights.
