Remember when Trump promised he would Make America Healthy Again? Now, he wants to scrub limits on cancer-causing chemicals in our drinking water. He said "MAHA" to get elected and then turned around and let polluters poison our drinking water.

If Donald Trump ends legal protections for Haitian workers, everyone will suffer. Our health care system is already on the brink of collapse thanks to Trump, and this decision would put patient care at risk nationwide. We must keep fighting back.

It’s called the 14th amendment. It’s in our constitution, President Trump. We know you’re cheap on everything but ballrooms, so we found you the cheapest one.

Folks in Oregon and across the country are shouldering the cost of skyrocketing gas prices thanks to Trump's illegal war with Iran. A new Brown University report shows consumers have already spent over $40 BILLION extra on gas since the start of the war. Just wrong.
- AK
Gas prices are up more than 40% from a year ago. Americans are paying the price for the president’s war with Iran at the pump, at the grocery store, and in their summer travel plans.

Powerful tribute to our fallen servicemembers at Fort Adams this Memorial Day weekend. Special thanks to Operation Stand Down Rhode Island for organizing their 10th annual Boots on the Grounds for Heroes Memorial and bringing RIers together to honor U.S. servicemembers killed in action.

I met with Bristol Myers Squibb to learn about their work in neurology and how we can support innovative treatments for Alzheimer’s patients. We need to improve the system of care for people living with Alzheimer's disease from affordable medications to access to long-term care.

He's not sharing his military decisions with Congress, nor his own Pentagon. This is a rogue, incompetent Commander in Chief with no plans or strategies. Just chaos. And none of it makes America safer.

While costs are through the roof, what has the president been focused on? -Fighting a war costing taxpayers billions of dollars. -Building a billion-dollar ballroom and an arch dedicated to himself. Not lowering your costs.

You can’t make this up – Donald Trump wants to pay his friends $1.8 billion of your tax dollars. Just remember – this is the same president who cut funding for Medicaid and SNAP to give more tax breaks to his billionaire buddies. Watch:

Yesterday, Republicans punted their OWN BILL that would give ICE and Border Patrol another $70 billion while doing nothing to help everyday Americans. That's how bad the bill is. We'll keep fighting back!

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.

No amount of intimidation from Trump’s FBI will change the fact that he lost the 2020 election. This is an abuse of power and a waste of resources, and I fear Trump is doing this to set the stage to meddle in the next election. He needs to cut it out and respect Wisconsin voters.

Trump’s war with Iran has cost Americans more than $42 billion in gas and diesel costs. That’s more than $300 per family. Not peanuts.

I’m really pleased that the Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport will receive $260,000 to build a children’s play area and install a new lactation pod, making it easier for families to fly. The funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law we worked hard to pass in 2021.

Donald Trump's settlement makes it official government policy that Trump, his family, and his political allies are above the law. It's outrageously corrupt, and it must be stopped. I'm pressing for answers NOW.

Today, a federal judge determined what we've known all along, the Trump admin was engaged in a vindictive prosecution against Kilmar Abrego Garcia. This is a win for all our rights & the Constitution.

Groceries and gas prices are soaring thanks to Trump’s illegal tariffs and painful war. None of these price increases were inevitable – they’re a direct result of policy choices by this President.

Mifepristone has been used safely and effectively for decades and restricting access to it puts women’s lives at risk. I joined all my Senate Democratic colleagues to keep fighting to ensure access to mifepristone and protect women’s reproductive rights.

The U.S.-Canada relationship is still critically important, especially to Michigan. Despite the recent tension in that relationship, I strongly believe our two nations must work together to address the big problems we face.

No one in government should be allowed to profit off of the information or influence they have access to while in office. That's why I've been pushing to ban stock trading across all three branches of government. It's just common sense.

Trump never has money for healthcare or VA staff or anything to actually make Americans’ lives better — but somehow found $1.8 billion to reward his allies with your tax dollars. That's corruption, plain and simple.

I joined Senator Grassley to demand Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth immediately release stalled funding for Ukraine and the Baltics. These nations are facing the brunt of Russian aggression, and our failure to stand by them will only embolden Putin and his war machine.

The NIH Director couldn't say whether we're better prepared for public health threats under Trump—because we aren't. Trump gutted NIH funding, delayed and canceled research projects, and pushed out thousands of scientists and staff. We’re less ready for the next pandemic.

Howard Lutnick's FIRST political donation since becoming Commerce Secretary was a $5 MILLION donation to House Republicans 1 month before they interviewed him about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Let that sink in.

There are many Americans, and especially Michiganders, who care deeply about the U.S.-Canada relationship. Our lives, economies, and security are intertwined. That's why I thought it was so important to travel to Toronto to meet with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney.
