Trump spent BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars to kill projects that would’ve helped to lower energy costs. He promised to cut electricity bills in half. Instead, working families are paying record-high costs.

Once again, ICE shot and killed someone in broad daylight. This time, a loving father and husband, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. This latest tragedy is a reminder of why we’ve been fighting for real reforms of DHS and an end to this administration’s cruel and dangerous immigration agenda.

Why we need permitting reform, and why we need to stop Trump’s corrupt blockade of American solar and wind (hint: he does it to force U.S. grids to buy expensive fossil power from his crooked donors, even though your costs go up).

The people of Syria deserve a fighting chance after Assad’s brutal rule. @shaheen.senate.gov, Rep. Joe Wilson, and I called on the Trump Administration to remove this barrier to recovery while preserving targeted counterterrorism tools. This is good step forward.

Greenbush is coming together — volunteers, local businesses and leaders, Mayor Etherington — to build Lil’ Chompers Childcare Center, which is set to open next year with federal funding I helped secure. This is what investing in the future of rural Minnesota looks like. https://ow.ly/z0XC50ZmsI6

Everything costs more, and working families are the ones paying the price. Instead of looking out for billionaires and special interests, this Administration should be focused on lowering costs and making life more affordable for the people who actually keep this country running.

More people continue to die at the hands of this ICE agency on a rampage. We need independent investigations and real accountability. Instead, Republicans rammed through tens of billions of dollars in more money for immigration enforcement without any reforms.

Let’s not forget the permits blockade, which delayed low-cost clean energy projects, forcing electric grids to revert to expensive fossil units. Costs went up for consumers, but those extra billions all went to Trump’s fossil fuel donors.

GOOD NEWS: Even though Trump refuses to sign my provision banning private equity from mass purchasing homes, it will become law TONIGHT. Homes for people, not corporations.

The greatest threat to America's elections is Donald Trump. Effectively shutting down the independent organization that certifies voting systems and supports our state election officials is not a subtle move. Every one of us has to use our voice and our vote to save democracy.

I am thrilled that lower housing costs are on the horizon, but it should never have been delayed. Today, one of the most significant pieces of housing legislation becomes law—no thanks to President Trump.

As Americans struggle with the cost of rent or mortgage payments, the president has a message for you: buzz off. He’s not interested. He made two billion off the presidency last year, and he couldn't care less about the hardships of ordinary people.

Trump will always put himself ahead of the American people. He is “protesting” the most significant housing bill in decades that would build more housing, lower costs, and stop private equity and Wall Street from buying up homes.

President Trump continues to spread lies and conspiracy theories about the November elections just as he did in 2020. This latest attack on a bipartisan election agency is more of the same effort to sow distrust in our voting system so he can contest the results if they are not to his liking.

Skills learned on the job should count in the classroom. Senator Sheehy and I introduced the bipartisan Credit for Prior Learning Act so students can use federal aid to turn that experience into college credit — finishing their degrees faster and saving on tuition. https://ow.ly/AXGb50ZmsAm

First, Trump takes a massive bribe from Qatar in the form of a $400 million luxury jet. Then, despite clear security threats, he rushes it into use, skipping many of the usual defensive systems. So, not only is this plane an illegal bribe, but it risks our national security. Corrupt and dangerous.

Yesterday, I visited the Moton Museum in Farmville to see how $500,000 I secured was used for upgrades. We must continue to tell the story about how Barbara Johns and other students’ brave protest led to the SCOTUS decision outlawing segregation in schools.

Tonight, our bipartisan housing affordability bill will likely become law, with or without Trump’s signature. If he doesn’t want to put his name on the largest housing bill in a generation, that’s his choice. I’ll keep celebrating anything that will bring down housing costs for Delaware families.

Selling advanced AI chips to China will turbocharge its military capabilities and its bid for technological dominance. The Trump Administration is letting it happen, despite warnings from Republicans and Democrats. Congress needs to pass bipartisan export control legislation now.

My mother grew up in Georgia picking somebody else’s cotton. The hands that once picked somebody else’s cotton got to pick her son to be a United States senator. That’s why voting rights are personal to me. We’ve come too far to go backward.

Some final photos from my time at the NATO Summit, where I met with Secretary General Mark Rutte, Presidents Stubb & Dan, as well as many others. Support for NATO is alive and well in Congress, & I will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure that our collective security is well defended.

The cost of chaos isn’t paid in Washington. It’s paid by Americans in the grocery store, at the gas pump, and anywhere you choose to spend your money. Trump needs to end his illegal war. Stop the illegal tariffs. And put lowering costs for working families at the top of the agenda.

Trump has raked in more than a BILLION DOLLARS from his crypto schemes. No president should be able to use their office to enrich themselves, which is why I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act to stop these kinds of crypto grifts in their tracks.

A father in Texas. A nurse from Wisconsin. A mother of three in Minnesota. All killed by Trump's ICE. Yes, we need an independent investigation into Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's death, but we also need to rein in this rogue agency that is killing Americans and terrorizing our communities.

At Rainy Lake Medical Center in International Falls, I saw the great work they’re doing to deliver care — and what’s still needed to expand access to quality care across the Northland. Minnesotans should have access to affordable modern health care. https://ow.ly/eC1q50Zmsw5

Republicans kicked hundreds of thousands of families and kids off SNAP so they could give billionaires more tax breaks. That's the world Republicans want to make: working people struggle to get by while they and their friends get richer.

Refusing any type of independent investigation is not normal. Blocking local law enforcement from evidence is not normal.

ICE agents feel emboldened because they know their higher ups will protect them by lying to the public about what happened. How can we trust any sort of investigation solely done by an agency that does whatever it wants, whenever it wants, with no repercussions? Justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo

This isn’t how it should be. If you work hard, you should be able to get ahead. But everything Trump does makes that harder. It’s the cost to fill up your tank or buy groceries because of his war with Iran. It’s the electricity bill skyrocketing because of his war on cheap, clean energy...

This is a BIG red flag. Ahead of the midterms, Donald Trump FIRED all members of the independent Election Assistance Commission—people confirmed unanimously by the Senate to make sure we have free and fair elections. We can't let Trump rig the next election.

Allow me to explain what's happening here. The biggest bipartisan housing bill in 30 years is about to become law without any help from Donald Trump, who ran on lowering costs for the middle class, because he's mad Congress wouldn't help him suppress the will of voters.
