Good. We should all recognize how dangerous it is that this administration is letting hate threaten our safety and military readiness.

So this Pride Month, that’s the mission — on behalf of those who fought in a very different time, and for those who are just starting out in life.

I know she would be so proud of the progress that’s been made since her time. But I also know she’d be dismayed by some of the backsliding that’s gone on, and would want us to keep on fighting.

She passed away before gay marriage was legal across the country. I was interviewed about her last year — see below. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/05/sen-...

Happy Pride Month! This month is important for many reasons but for me, it’s impossible not to think about my mom. She came out in the 1980’s — though I’m not sure she would have called it coming out, since we hid it from most people in suburban Detroit at that time.

Happy 603 Day! There’s truly no state as great as ours, from beautiful mountains and rivers to our coast and cities. Apples and pumpkins in the fall and maple syrup in the spring, NH is the best place to live and work! Let’s take a moment today to appreciate all that makes our state so special.

Last week, I visited Hanwha Philly Shipyard. The shipyard presents an excellent opportunity to foster NJ-grown talent, bolster our country’s reputation in shipbuilding, and attract investment that will build NJ’s Einstein Corridor.

This President is marching us through unprecedented corruption. Senator Adam Schiff, Senator Mark Kelly and I are fighting to stop it, and our Republican colleagues should join us.

Today, Sec. Mullin conceded that DHS has made numerous false statements. That’s why independent investigations into the killings of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, & all victims of DHS's violence are necessary. But he won't give states access to critical evidence. What is DHS hiding?

Families are being stretched to the limit everywhere from the grocery store to the gas pump. What’s the Trump Administration focused on? Slapping Trump’s face on a $250 bill. Ridiculous—and illegal!

The President's nominee for the Director of National Intelligence has never handled classified information, never been in a national security role, and we're not even sure if he's had a security clearance. He is not qualified for this job, and shouldn't even be there in an acting position.

I owned a brewpub. Trust me: nobody walks into a restaurant excited to pay more. Higher gas, grocery, and restaurant bills aren’t signs of confidence—they’re signs that this administration’s policies are hurting working families.

This fight isn't over. We need law, not promises. And remember: Trump's settlement forces the IRS (that he controls) to drop ALL audits of Trump, his family and businesses. Dropping one of those audits could save Trump $100 MILLION. I have a bill to stop this corruption.

I’m leading members of the Colorado delegation to welcome $1.8M+ for the Colorado Small Business Development Center — critical funding I've fought to release so that small business owners across all 64 counties have the resources and support they need to sustain and grow their businesses.

Colorado's small businesses are fighting harder than ever to keep their doors open because of President Trump's tariffs and rising costs.

DHS is on track to break last year's record for people dying in its custody. ICE agents tear gassed a U.S. Senator last week. I'm not writing a blank check to an agency that is engaged in nonstop brutality and abuses of power.

I had a great time stopping by Bolt's Grocery Store in Lake Benton and meeting owners Bill and Kelly Bolt. With groceries, a cafe, and a bait shop all under one roof, Bolt’s is a vital community hub. We need to support local grocers in rural Minnesota. www.lincolncountynews.net/article/801,...

As someone who has been the target of the President’s attacks, it’s important to recognize who he intends to help with this $1.8 billion slush fund of taxpayer dollars.

Not taking Blanche’s word for it. Congress must kill this corrupt “anti-weaponization” slush fund so every Republican is on record. And Congress must revoke the extraordinary immunity from tax audits and prosecution that Blanche says still protects Trump, his family & associates.

Trump couldn’t find the money to help working families afford SNAP or Medicaid, but he was more than willing to create a $1.8 billion slush fund for cop beaters and insurrectionists. Proud to have joined @commoncause.org and @citizensforethics.org today to call out this blatant corruption.

It’s clear that the President would rather install a yes man to further his own partisan agenda than nominate a qualified national security expert who can keep our country safe.

Given his history of using his position to target the President’s perceived political enemies, and his complete lack of national security experience, Mr. Pulte is completely unsuitable for this vital role.

President Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence should concern every American. The intelligence community is supposed to provide accurate and objective intelligence, free of any political interference.

Pulte has absolutely no national security or intelligence experience, yet he's been entrusted with overseeing our national security. Let’s hope Mr. Pulte has more success in his new role than he has at addressing housing affordability.

I’m glad to see Todd Blanche affirm that Trump is abandoning the $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund… but talk is cheap. We must pass a law banning this kind of open corruption so there’s no way for Trump to EVER get away with it.

Sorry but this is INSANE. Withdrawing CBP officers from airports in "blue" cities isn't just dangerous—it would mean a national economic crisis, in red AND blue states.

Bill Pulte has zero intelligence experience. He’s spent the bulk of his time in government targeting Trump’s enemies. As always, Trump is choosing loyalty over national security. That puts all of us at risk.

A man who physically attacked the seat of our nation's government cannot be trusted to uphold that nation's secrets. This is just the latest incident of the Trump administration putting slavish devotion over competence, and Americans will be less safe because of it.

When asked about negotiations with Iran, Donald Trump said he “couldn’t care less” and called them “very boring.” Our men and women in uniform deserve a Commander in Chief who understands the consequences of war and takes them seriously. Shame on you.

Let's be clear: Bill Pulte has zero background for this job. He won Trump's favor by weaponizing our govt against Trump's political foes. As America’s most powerful intelligence official, he can do incalculable harm. This should be a non-starter.

There is still no endgame for the war in Iran and American people are paying the price—at the grocery store and at the gas pump. Yet, President Trump doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the affordability concerns of the American people.
