Trump's war in Iran created a gas price crisis--and oil companies are capitalizing on it. Americans are paying 50% more for gas since Trump’s war began, while Big Oil rakes in windfall profits. That’s why I’m demanding the FTC investigate this price gouging.

Robert Kilduff Jr. was a hero who spent his career bravely running toward danger in service to country and community. His dedication as a firefighter and servicemember knew no bounds and will be remembered by all. My prayers are with his family, his crew, and his loved ones.

This Memorial Day weekend, families should have been focused on seeing loved ones—not getting hit with junk fees just to sit next to their children on a flight. I passed a law to stop these family seating fees. The Trump administration needs to implement it now. youtube.com/shorts/MTI8U...

As families travel for Memorial Day Weekend, parents could get stuck with expensive fees if they want to sit with their young children on a plane. I’m demanding the DOT implement my law to ban these fees so that families won’t have to pay more while airlines rake in profits.

Four years ago today, the Buffalo community was forever changed when a gunman murdered 10 Black Americans at a local grocery store. We honor their memories by continuing the fight against gun violence, hate, and extremism in all its forms.

Trump’s attacks on transgender Americans are an assault on civil rights and dignity. But together, we will work toward a future in which every person is treated with equality & the humanity they deserve. Read my new report on Trump’s attacks and how we’re fighting back.

Thank you, Stephen Colbert, for years of laughter, and speaking truth to power and never backing down. The Late Show is ending under the shadow of FCC pressure and corporate fear. The FCC’s job is to protect the public interest, not serve Trump’s interest.

Trump’s “weaponization fund” and ban on future IRS audits is his latest impeachable offense—using the machinery of government and billions in taxpayer dollars to reward allies, pay off insurrectionists, and shield himself, his family, and associates from accountability. Impeach now.

Trump’s planning for his reckless Iran war has been a disaster. He wanted to put former President Ahmadinejad in charge, who supports the Iran nuclear program. Then Trump tried to “free” him but injured him instead. This is not a joke. This war has been Trump’s mistake from the start. End it now.

Nuclear reactors in the Middle East have been attacked many times during Trump’s reckless war on Iran. Yet Trump wants to build more in Saudi Arabia, without the strongest safeguards. This is a nuclear disaster waiting to happen. We should not build nuclear plants in war zones.

This is basically proof that Trump has committed tax fraud and is a Get Out Of Jail Free card for when he does it again.

My heart is with the families affected by the tragic shooting at the San Diego Islamic Center, a sacred place of worship. Anti-Muslim rhetoric is skyrocketing and it is unacceptable. No community should live in fear of violence against them because of their faith.

As electricity prices soar, Eversource is raking in record profits, and its executives are raking in seven-figure salaries and bonuses—driven directly by those excess profits. Families should not struggle to pay their bills while the CEOs take home millions.

I've already called on CEOs of the largest oil and gas companies to stop giving their CEOs bonuses for profiting off the backs of American families—that should apply to utilities as well.

As Trump dismantles lifesaving HIV prevention and treatment work around the world, we must continue fighting for the breakthroughs to help end the epidemic. This HIV Vaccine Awareness Day, we celebrate the dedicated researchers and community members who aren’t giving up on an HIV-free future.

The Trump administration is taking away protections against dangerous PFAS. We keep learning more about the dangers of these toxic chemicals—we shouldn’t be backsliding and letting more into our water. Families shouldn’t have to second-guess what’s coming out of their tap.

You can't sue yourself. You can't settle with yourself. And you can't hijack a legitimate victim compensation fund and turn it into a taxpayer-funded payoff scheme for January 6 insurrectionists. Congress never authorized this and we won't let it stand.

Thanks to Trump, America is losing the clean energy race. Last year, China invested $60 billion more in clean energy—and installed SEVEN times more wind, solar, and storage—than we did. Reviving American clean energy leadership will mean cheap, reliable energy for all.

Honored to celebrate the opening of La CASA today in Villa Victoria—the largest Latino cultural center in New England. La CASA will be a new home for art, activism, and opportunity. A place for communities to come together to protect collective memories and create new legacies.

Abortion must remain safe, legal, and accessible. That’s why I joined every Senate Democrat in calling on the Supreme Court to preserve the right to receive mifepristone by mail. This case isn’t over–we’ll continue to fight attacks on reproductive health and freedom.

Trump’s love affair with coal has cost Americans hundreds of millions of dollars—all to keep the oldest, dirtiest fossil plants hanging around. We must pass my bill to stop Trump’s abuse of the energy emergency authority that's forcing families to fund his pet pollution projects.

“Smart” glasses—dangerously dumb idea. DHS’s troubling record of using surveillance to silence protesters & target communities makes clear what this proposal really is: a tool for unchecked, wearable surveillance. DHS must immediately reverse course on this dystopian technology.

Data centers are eating up more and more of our electricity—and it’s causing chaos in the grid. Families shouldn’t have to worry if their bills are going to shoot up or if their power will shut off because a data center moves in next door. fortune.com/2026/05/12/l...
