Today, we celebrate Ross Anderson: the fastest skier in American history. Ross was the first Native American to compete in the speed skiing world championships, inspiring a generation of Indigenous athletes to take up the sport.

Sat down with Latino small business owners at Chilte in Phoenix. These are people who built something from nothing — and they're getting hit from every direction right now. Tariffs, rising costs, customers cutting back. They deserve leaders who show up and fight for them.

Once again, Trump is threatening war crimes against the Iranian people. All this could be avoided if Republicans in Congress joined us in voting to end this illegal and costly war. We will give them another chance this week. They must all be held accountable.

The President and his family don’t even try to hide their corruption. Last year alone, they made at least $1.4 billion through backroom deals and legal threats. And the American people are fed up.

While Americans are worried about health care and rising costs, the president is focused on building a $400 million ballroom. That says everything about his priorities — and they’re not the American people.

Seeing this news is absolutely heartbreaking. No parent or family should have to experience this kind of loss, and no child should fear or face this kind of violence. As a father, this is gut-wrenching.

Congress has the tools to lower costs, rein in Pres. Trump’s cost-raising policies, & help working families get ahead. Republicans just need to join Democrats & the majority of Americans who are calling for immediate action to bring down prices & boost our economy.

If you paid even one penny in federal income taxes on your income last year, then you paid more than Tesla. Here's why.

RIers are hurting from Trump’s irresponsible policies. So I’ve teamed up w/ colleagues on the Tariff Refunds for Working Families Act & @whitehouse.senate.gov’s Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act to redirect $ consumers are losing from Trump’s wars right back into the pockets of hardworking Americans.

Between Pres. Trump’s global trade war & his war in Iran, American consumers & businesses are dealing with higher costs & heavier financial burdens. At the same time, jobs are being lost by the millions & opportunity is sinking. I’m working to undo Trump’s damage.

Branelle Rodriguez grew up in Brainerd looking up at the night sky—now she’s helping lead Artemis II. Great to see a Minnesotan playing a key role in this historic mission.

It’s becoming far too common for corporate landlords to buy up single-family homes by the thousands, pricing out hardworking people from owning a home. We’ve got to crack down on these predatory practices and build more housing.

Over 30 years ago we lost 168 men, women, and children in one of the worst acts of domestic terrorism we’ve ever seen. Thinking of Oklahoma City today and the resilience they’ve shown in the decades since.

Not a surprise if you’ve been listening. People are livid. They’ve seen a war in their name and at their expense, but without their approval. It’s time to end it.

A captured Court is delivering the goods for the billionaires who captured it. Sadly, most Democrats slept through the capture.
- SW
Legislation, regulation and litigation about climate, all a sacrifice to protect fossil fuel’s $700 billion pollute-for-free business model.
- SW
(Of course the Court blocked rules that would have disclosed the coordination among fossil-fuel front group “amici” flotillas.)
- SW
Of course fossil-fuel-funded flotillas of phony front groups will be there to instruct the Court, where they have a 100% success rate.
- SW
Of course next is the Court attacking climate litigation, finishing the free-to-pollute trifecta for the billionaire polluters who put them there.
- SW
(Of course the “major questions” notion was cooked up in fossil-fuel-funded doctrine factories, purpose-built by and for polluters.)
- SW
Of course the Clean Power Plan and “major questions” cases signaled the end of climate regulation as the Court intruded to blockade.
- SW
Of course Citizens United signaled the end of climate legislation, as unlimited fossil fuel dark money was brought to bear on Congress.
- SW
Of course Roberts and Alito, who also delivered Citizens United and dark money, were in the thick of it.
- SW
Of course the roots of the “shadow docket” are in service to the fossil fuel billionaires who captured the Court. 🧵

It is our duty to prepare our children for the future. Recently, I got to see how students at Gadsden High School are getting an education that sets them up for success when they enter the workforce.

Economist and anti-corruption advocate Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu, who has ties to Virginia, has been unjustly detained in Azerbaijan for 1,000 days. No one should be imprisoned for speaking out against corruption. Azerbaijan must uphold human rights and due process.

This is a win for your privacy & for election integrity. Yet again, the Trump Admin has lost in a court of law. While Pres. Trump repeats his lies about U.S. elections, I’ll remain steadfast in defending RI’s elections & protecting your rights.

No Jewish community should have to live in fear. We must pledge to continue confronting antisemitism and hate whenever and wherever it rears its ugly head.
- JR
When we allow hate against one community to flourish, all communities are at risk.

Violent antisemitic attacks are rising at an alarming rate and threatening Jewish communities in the U.S. and around the world. These instances of vile hate and violence against Jews are disgusting and horrifying, and we all have a responsibility to make sure this bigotry is never normalized. 🧵

Israeli Defense Minister Katz said he wants to do in Lebanon what was done in Rafah. I've seen firsthand how the Netanyahu government razed Rafah to the ground. No American taxpayer dollars should be used to support this.
