Happy 4th of July! As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence, I’m focused on the values that bring us together: equality, opportunity, liberty. Let’s keep working together to build a more perfect union and open the doors of opportunity to all.

Happy Independence Day! For 250 years, Americans have worked to build a more perfect union. Here in New Hampshire, that legacy lives on in the people who step up, serve their communities, and look out for one another.

On our nation's 250th birthday, I am reminded of how blessed we are to live in these United States. American greatness lies in our ability to push forward in pursuit of our highest ideals. We must never stop fighting for liberty and justice for all. Stay safe and have a great 4th!

Happy 250th, America. Above all else, today I’m remembering the bedrock principles of our young nation. What our founders fought for, what patriots have marched for and what our servicemembers have bled for time and time again:

HAPPY 250th USA! A good day to remember this iconic 1984 photo of construction worker Anthony Soraci, grandson of Italian immigrants, leaning in to kiss the Statue of Liberty in honor of his grandparents coming to America.

Sometimes you win when you don’t. Little Cape Verde’s performance against Messi and the Argentinian team was one for the ages. Bravo!!

The founding fathers called America God’s noble experiment. I believe in all three words to this day: we are one nation under God, we have clung to noble ideas for longer than any other nation, and we are an experiment always changing, trying to make ourselves better.

Today, on the 250th anniversary of America’s independence, I'm thinking of the words of Maryland's own Thurgood Marshall, “This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on." For 250 years, Americans have answered that call & at this pivotal moment, I know we will again.

250 years ago, thirteen colonies rejected British rule and began building a nation based on democratic principles. We must keep protecting freedom, liberty, and our democracy. Happy Independence Day!

I’m disturbed to learn that there was yet another potential act of violence in a house of worship—at the Muslim Center in Queens. I’m relieved he was subdued by a congregant before any harm occurred. Islamophobia is unacceptable, and we must continue to reject hatred and bigotry in every form.

Since Republicans passed their Big Bad Bill, more than 800,000 children across the country have lost SNAP benefits. In New Mexico, that means over 10,000 children are going hungry so that Trump could give billionaires a tax cut.

RFK Jr. is actively censoring scientific research to try and rewrite reality. The COVID vaccine reduced the risk of hospitalizations. That's a FACT. It's supported by SCIENCE. THIS is why it is so dangerous for a conspiracy theorist to be leading our nation's health.

Groceries, gas, a doctor's visit. Americans shouldn't have to double-check their bank account to make sure they can afford the basics. This is a cost-of-living emergency, and I'm working to tackle it head-on with my bills to make life more affordable.

Wishing all Coloradans a happy and safe Fourth of July weekend. Whether you're celebrating at the Greeley Stampede, cheering on the Rockies at Coors Field, or heading to a local parade or festival, I hope you're able to spend time with family, friends, and loved ones this holiday weekend.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is one year old. So is the health care crisis it created. 5 million people lost coverage. More than 1,000 hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes face cuts or closure. Over 20 million families face skyrocketing premiums.

It’s been a week since President Trump threw a tantrum and refused to pass a bipartisan bill to lower housing costs for Americans. We need to get this bill across the finish line and make homes affordable for working families.

I have a bipartisan bill to protect reporters in this exact position but no surprise, Trump killed it. I'll keep at it until reporters have these bare minimum protections.

It’s been a year since Republicans passed President Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill.” In that time: —Inflation hit a three-year high. —Five million Americans have already lost their health care. —Four million people have lost their food assistance, including more than 800,000 children.

Americans are losing food assistance and healthcare all because of Trump's Big Beautiful Betrayal. Congressional Republicans picked tax breaks for billionaires over struggling Americans.
