These public servants never should have faced retaliation for raising the alarm and trying to keep us safe. I’ve called for these whistleblowers to be reinstated and applaud their bravery and dedication in the face of attacks from this administration. 1/2

Could the President now do something about the tariff taxes hitting Americans from all the countries that don’t have kings? 👑 Headline: U.K. whiskey tariffs eased after Trump met with King Charles III

Working families are under so much economic pressure, and we need to be offering solutions that hold down the prices of electricity. Instead, this administration is spending taxpayer dollars blocking new energy projects that would lower costs for Americans.

As Trump ramps up his threats of war against Cuba, we must understand what led us to this point: 65 years of a bankrupt Cuba policy. If we want to avoid war with Cuba, we must rein in this lawless President & learn from the failed, bipartisan policies that led us to this point.

I do not believe there's any reason why the active duty military should ever be deployed to the polls. Secretary Hegseth couldn’t even agree with that.

Colorado fought hard to get clean air. It lets us enjoy our beautiful landscapes without haze and pollution. This administration wants to take that away. We forced every Senator to go on record yesterday on whether they support this thoughtless decision.

I asked Secretary Hegseth if he would deploy the uniform military to our polls to collect voter rolls or machines. It wasn’t a hypothetical question, it was based on an executive order President Trump drafted but didn’t sign in 2020. He refused to answer. youtube.com/shorts/NhOsz...

I'm glad the House finally came to their senses and passed our bipartisan bill to make sure TSA agents and other DHS workers get their paychecks.

Speaker Johnson had the Senate's bipartisan bill to fund critical parts of the Department of Homeland Security on his desk for over a month but chose to do nothing and continue inflicting pain on the department and its personnel. 🧵

Rebuilding America’s maritime industry will create thousands of great-paying jobs and strengthen our country’s economic and national security for generations. Read my op-ed with Rep. Garamendi on why this so important — and how our SHIPS For America Act will get it done.

After two months of Trump’s dangerous Iran war and attacks landing close to nuclear reactors, the world must stop building nuclear power plants in war zones. The Senate should pass my bill with @merkley.senate.gov to reduce the risk of nuclear catastrophes.

Americans are paying the price of a war they never wanted and have gained nothing from. After 60 days of war, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, gas prices are sky high, & our military has suffered significant costs. Pres. Trump owes the American people answers & a plan.

It's a good day when the Senate rejects at least one junk science charlatan. Good riddance to Casey Means, RFK Jr. is doing enough damage on his own. I'll keep pushing for his removal to protect science and common sense in our government.

Throughout our hearing, Secretary Hegseth expected the American people to just pretend like they don't know that there's a problem with the war in Iran. Meanwhile, gas is $4.99 a gallon. The American people aren’t stupid.

As a Pitt fan, I'm glad to see him use his platform as Dr. Langdon to speak out. Student debt is crushing people whose only sin was advancing their education. The system is broken—and the Trump admin has made it worse by jacking up loan payments by hundreds of dollars a month.

Casey Means was never qualified to be Surgeon General. She has made clear she wouldn't stand up for the science—on vaccines, on dangerous pesticides, or anything else—if Trump or RFK told her to put politics or corporate interests first. Americans deserve a Surgeon General they can trust.

Big update: I secured a commitment that the FISA court opinion revealing abuses of Americans' rights will be DECLASSIFIED before Congress votes on reauthorization. The more Americans know about these abuses, the more they’ll demand real reforms.

Like a lot of women’s health, menopause has been overlooked, underinvested in, & left behind. That's why Senator Murkowski & I are fighting to INCREASE funding for research into mid-life women's health. More than half this country goes through it, it's time we start acting like it.

Trump is killing U.S. auto competitiveness to pay back his big fossil fuel donors. Good thing he didn’t take big bucks from harness-makers. To compete internationally, we need to make competitive vehicles, not ones idiotically designed for maximum fuel consumption.

U.S. auto companies compete in world markets, unless we want to be like the Russian Lada, only sold domestically because it sucks.

It’s been 61 days since the start of the Iran war. Gas prices are soaring. Fertilizer costs are leaving farmers in the lurch. Today, the Senate voted for the SIXTH time to end this illegal war. Republicans blocked it again.

Because of the war in Iran, gas in Michigan is $4.99. The cost of things like fertilizer and airline tickets keeps going up. Secretary Hegseth was gung-ho about this war, and now we're at a stalemate, and the American public is feeling it in their pocketbooks. youtube.com/shorts/7Q-3Q...

Trump is paying off big corporations, with taxpayer money, to stop inexpensive clean energy, forcing the grid to buy more expensive polluting energy from Trump’s corrupt fossil fuel donors. It’s a racket, raising costs on purpose, to enrich political donors.

Gas prices hit a wartime high, inflation is up, & Americans are feeling the pinch of higher prices. But Senate Republicans for the SIXTH time blocked a resolution requiring Congress approve further action against Iran. Their silence is an endorsement of the President’s questionable strategy.

The longest shutdown ever—TSA agents unpaid, our cybersecurity weakened—started when Senate GOP wouldn’t agree to commonsense ICE reforms, and extended because @houserepublicans.bsky.social delayed for weeks instead of taking up a bill we passed unanimously.
