Is Social Security a "Ponzi scheme?" That's what the top Republican on the Budget Committee thinks. So I asked people in Seattle outside of the Social Security office what THEY think.

We’ve put in work to address the affordable housing crisis, but we need to make sure we keep the momentum going. My Affordable Housing Preservation and Protection Act will support existing affordable housing and continue the progress we’ve made.

Trump and Republicans handed YOUR tax dollars to Big Tech companies like Meta and Amazon. So how much of your money is subsidizing their data centers and AI spending? You deserve the truth. I'm pushing these companies – the same ones that are donating to Trump – for answers.

NEW: $38.7M for Rhode Island Infrastructure Bank will help accelerate lead service line replacements to ensure families across RI have access to clean & safe drinking water. Proud to have supported the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act which made extra funding possible.

Hegseth likes to say “war is hell.” But keeping our troops at sea for over 300 days with dwindling supplies was a level of hell this Administration could’ve avoided, but didn’t. The toll this war has had on our troops and their families is too high. We need a public hearing now.

$43 billion in taxpayer money could have been spent on making childcare more affordable or helping families afford their health care, but instead, the president chose to spend your money on another war in the Middle East.

When we talk about public safety, that has to include supporting survivors. If you need support, it's available 24/7. For NM-specific resources, visit NMCADV.org. And this DVAM, I want to especially thank the advocates and health care providers who serve survivors in New Mexico.

We’re the wealthiest country in the world. Kids shouldn’t be going hungry. But ever since Trump’s cuts to SNAP, food insecurity is rapidly rising across the country. We MUST reverse these cuts.

Minnesota runs on power, and that power runs through the more than 16,000 members of the IBEW. When a storm hits, our electrical workers show up and help Minnesotans keep the lights on. I’m honored to have the endorsement of the IBEW, and as Governor, I will show up for Minnesota the way they do.

At our visit to a supermercado in Aurora, we heard how skyrocketing grocery prices and MAGA’s cruel SNAP cuts are making life that much more difficult for Coloradans. We need to bring prices down and reverse those dangerous cuts.

As the USS Lincoln comes home today, we commend the brave servicemembers who endured a near-record deployment and served our country honorably. It’s also a reminder that sailors and their families pay the biggest costs for this war of choice. We owe them an immediate end to this conflict.

Anyone who works hard enough, saves enough, and plays by the rules should be able to build wealth for their family, buy a car, a house, or a big-ass truck. The American dream. But right now, hard work isn't cutting it. And as elected officials, it’s our job to change that.

Trump used YOUR tax dollars to promote himself. That’s right. You paid for Trump’s political advertising. Now he’s reversing course – not because he cares it's illegal, but only because he got caught.

The state you live in shouldn’t determine whether you can afford the insulin you need to live. By capping monthly insulin costs at $35 a month, my INSULIN Act would ensure that's never the case. With broad bipartisan support, the time is now to get my legislation passed.

Folks in Brattleboro have the same concerns as the other Vermonters I’ve during my Common Grounds tour. They want Congress to lower the cost of health care, energy, and housing, rather than giving tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans. I’ll keep fighting to bring us out of this affordability crisis.

We are facing the worst measles outbreak in decades, yet the Trump administration has actively undermined childhood vaccines, delayed routine shots, and underreported measles deaths. That’s why I’m demanding immediate answers from the CDC Director to defend settled science.

Wall Street and corporations have schemed for decades to stack the bench with judges who rule against consumers and workers. Result? Federal courts have distorted the law to further rig the economy—and you're paying the price. Democrats must be clear-eyed about this challenge.

I've heard the same thing directly from fishermen in WA state. Fuel costs so much, it's sometimes cheaper not to even leave the dock. Trump's tariffs and war with Iran are HURTING our fishermen and our local economies.

Workers and middle-class families built this country. That's why in the Senate I'm fighting for tax cuts for families, paid for by making millionaires pay their fair share. It's about time hard working people stopped getting left behind.

The Trump Administration is slashing fuel efficiency standards for cars. It means you’ll pay thousands more at the pump over the lifetime of your car, especially as Trump’s illegal war with Iran drives gas prices even higher. https://bit.ly/47FRL4j

Jack Smith deserves an apology from my Republican colleagues who falsely accused him of perjury. This shameful episode demands an explanation. That starts by providing Senate Judiciary Democrats with documents that Republicans withheld before Smith’s hearing—in violation of Senate rules.

The President of the United States should not be allowed to auction off access to himself to the biggest buyers of his crypto coin. It’s corruption, plain and simple. Any crypto legislation Congress passes must prohibit Trump from lining his pockets off the industry.

Trump promised to drain the swamp, but instead he's using YOUR taxpayer dollars to decorate it. He cut Americans’ healthcare to cover DC statues in gold.

As a former prosecutor, I understand what we need to take on fraud. That’s why when the Feeding Our Future indictments came down, I went to the top of the Department of Justice and fought to get Minnesota’s U.S. Attorney Andy Luger’s office the prosecutors they needed.

Congress passed IDEA to ensure students with disabilities get a quality public education. But this regime is diverting BILLIONS to private schools that can reject students or ignore special needs. Public funds belong in public schools—where every child's rights are guaranteed.
