Binance has reportedly facilitated billions of dollars for Iranian sanctions evasion & illicit Russian oil sales. As a part of my PSI investigation, I’m demanding information on Binance’s compliance with its DOJ/FinCEN anti-money laundering settlements.

$18.1M in fed funds for RI’s innovative researchers will help grow capacity, discover new cures & treatments, improve health care & public health, and save lives. I’m working to expanding these investments to help advance pioneering research & promote hope and healing.

Libraries are critical for incarcerated Americans seeking to get the education and skills they need to successfully reenter society. I’m introducing two bills with @cleaver.house.gov to expand library resources and reduce recidivism.

Update on where things stand on FISA: this deal is a win. We got the House to back down from an 18 month extension, buying us time to negotiate on real reforms. I'll be fighting like hell for reforms that put your privacy first, and will have more to share soon.

Trump is extracting money from families’ budgets and pumping it to his fossil fuel donors.

And we’re also going to need even bigger solutions – like having AI companies pay for some of this transition – in order to fully get ahead. We need bold policy solutions to meet this moment… and I’m continuing to press for action daily.

But we’re also going to need a larger plan to prepare for some of the other changes down the line, so I’m working on something bipartisan with Mike Rounds, too. www.warner.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

ICE is killing American citizens in the streets, violently pulling people out of their cars, shooting them with pepper balls, all while the death toll of individuals in ICE custody grows — and Republicans want to give MORE funding to ICE? ICE needs reforms. Not a blank check.

Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars. I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.

War in the Middle East. ICE unleashing violence on our streets. Health care ripped away from millions. This is why the President is so desperate to suppress the vote.

Glad to hear that the Strait of Hormuz is open again. Of course, Iran can close it again at any time. Trump’s expensive, dangerous, and unnecessary war has allowed Iran to weaponize the Strait. Iran controls it and there is no going back. Thanks, Trump.

Donald Trump's war of choice has left our farmers paying the price. Today, I was in Mt. Horeb to talk with farmers about how the illegal war in Iran is driving up fertilizer and fuel prices. This war needs to end, now.

Last year, Trump’s cabinet showed up to Congress completely unprepared to defend Trump’s indefensible budget. It’s that time of year again and I’ll be pressing top officials for the answers the American people deserve.

Every airplane ticket includes a fee intended to support security – but more than $13 billion collected from the fee is redirected elsewhere. That’s why I helped advance a bipartisan bill through committee to ensure these dollars actually go toward security!

Nevada’s tourism economy depends on safe and secure air travel. To keep up with an evolving security environment, we must continue investing in screening technology improvements to ensure travel safety at airports.

For all Trump cares, gas could be $100 a gallon. Skyrocketing fuel prices don’t affect him. But that’s not reality for the vast majority of Americans. We need to bring down costs ASAP.

Tulsi Gabbard’s decision to recommend a lawful whistleblower for prosecution is yet another example of her willingness to carry out politically motivated, bogus orders to appease President Trump.

While Trump gave tax cuts to billionaires, 70,000 Arizonans have already lost their health insurance this year because of rising costs. I’m working to lower premiums and protect Medicaid so our families can keep their doctors and rural clinics can keep their doors open.

Predatory for-profit colleges provide low-quality education, worthless degrees, & crushing student debt. I sent a letter to Illinois principals, counselors, & teachers to encourage them to warn college-bound students & their families about the risks associated with attending for-profit colleges.

Yesterday, I met with U.S. Ambassador to Lebanon Michel Issa, just a few hours after some of the first direct-contact between the Lebanese and Israeli governments helped move us to a temporary ceasefire between the two.

Deepfakes are creating new ways to exploit—and these images can ruin lives. That’s why I worked to pass the bipartisan TAKE IT DOWN Act so victims can get images removed from social media platforms and law enforcement can hold perpetrators accountable.

Yesterday, the House passed an extension of TPS for Haiti in a major bipartisan vote. I applaud my partner in this fight @pressley.house.gov for her leadership and urge the Senate to vote to protect TPS for 350,000 Haitian nationals—including 46,000 in Massachusetts—immediately.

Senator Mike Lee and I disagree on a lot. But we both are deeply concerned about warrantless government surveillance of Americans. Read our op-ed in NYT below about how we can reform FISA Section 702 to protect our national security while upholding Americans’ constitutional rights.

Trump is fighting a war in our name, at our expense, but without our say. That's why I introduced a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's costly war of choice. It's time we bring this to an end and focus on making life less expensive for families.

Another member of the Admin’s mass deportation apparatus is leaving after terrorizing families & communities with indiscriminate immigration raids. I hope the departures at DHS will give Congressional Republicans pause before they pour more money into the President’s anti-immigrant agenda.

There is no authority for the President to make sweeping changes to our elections. But that’s exactly what President Trump is trying to do. The executive order goes against the very heart of the free and fair elections that make our nation a strong democracy.
