Rochester is on the move, and the 6th Street Bridge will help it keep moving forward. Thanks to the advocacy of Mayor Norton and other civic leaders, more than half of this project is getting done with federal funding, which — by working across the aisle — I fought to secure.

Few people are as synonymous with Chicago as Mike Ditka. Illinois will miss him dearly, but his legacy will never be forgotten. My heart goes out to his family and everyone who loved Da Coach.

Trump’s relentless attacks on Fed Governor Lisa Cook are ridiculous and blatantly partisan. Nothing about this witch-hunt passes muster.

Donald Trump is escalating his smear campaign against Lisa Cook while turning the presidency into a personal ATM: crypto schemes, taxpayer-funded propaganda ads, cash for his family - the list could go on forever.

Tens of billions for Trump's war. $0 to stop your health insurance premiums from doubling. That's a choice Republicans made.

When I ran Minnesota’s largest prosecutor’s office, I did my job without fear or favor. As Governor, I’ll audit state government top-to-bottom, make sure people who commit fraud go to jail, and get rid of decades-old technology so we have the tools to stop the fraud before it happens.

A father dropping his daughter off at college. Dozens more Californians separated from their families. This administration is not done pushing their destructive immigration agenda, backed by court-allowed racial profiling, and utilizing ICE agents armed to the teeth by your tax dollars.

Undertrained and armed ICE officers are continuing to bring violence to American communities. ICE is completely out of control. Not one more penny for ICE’s lawlessness. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

AI companies are making a fortune right now. Working people can't get left behind. My plan is simple: tax AI companies and data centers, then use that money to put Americans to work in a New Deal-style public service jobs program. We did it before, and we can do it again.

RFK Jr. cares more about pushing conspiracy theories than keeping Americans safe. As measles cases surge and healthcare costs skyrocket, he’s busy denying deaths in Pennsylvania and cutting essential research. I’m fighting back and tracking his chaos here: www.markey.senate.gov/rfktracker

The shooting of a New Yorker by ICE agents today is deeply disturbing, especially amid reports that a child was in the car when shots were fired. I’m relieved the man is receiving medical care and the child was unharmed. But enough is enough. New Yorkers deserve the full truth about what happened.

We can seek justice in this country without glorifying violence and turning an execution into a grotesque public spectacle. What this criminal did was abhorrent and must be punished—but we as a country cannot condone livestreaming a man’s death for entertainment.

Once again, an independent watchdog found the Trump admin illegally withheld funds, including ~$80 million intended for the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality here in MD. Congress must re-appropriate these funds & make clear we will not tolerate these illegal cuts.

Today is Latina Equal Pay Day. When Latinas are paid fairly for their work, families are stronger, businesses grow, and our whole economy does better. We're committed to closing the gap and making equal pay for equal work a reality.

Latina women are the backbone of Nevada’s economy, but they’re still paid an average of only 53 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. Equal pay for equal work is LONG overdue. As we recognize Latina Equal Pay Day, I’ll keep fighting until every woman is paid fairly.

Julián Curo-Churata, a 47-year-old father of 2 from Laurel, MD, died in ICE custody last month. Julián was the 37th person to die in ICE detention in the past year. There must be a full independent investigation into his death. Not another dime for this lawlessness.

NEW: Reports reveal Trump is letting Big Tech write its own AI rules. OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic said the rules were too strict. Trump made them voluntary. Then Musk and Zuckerberg said they were too harsh. Trump cut the 90-day review to 30 days. I’m pushing for guardrails.

Illinois families need federal assistance to recover from August’s storms, yet like a toddler throwing a tantrum, Donald Trump refuses to grant it. I support @govpritzker.illinois.gov's appeal of Trump’s decision and will do whatever I can to support Illinoisans in the aftermath of these storms.

Behind every voter is a story. A lot of people who voted for Donald Trump thought he would do something about costs. Instead, prices are skyrocketing and 8 million Americans have been tossed off their health care coverage.

Cassidy Hutchinson displayed true courage when she testified about how Trump incited a deadly mob to attack the Capitol. The President’s targeting of her shows yet again that he’s more concerned with imprisoning his opponents than the cost-of-living crisis impacting Americans across the country.
