That’s exactly what the Claiming Age Clarity Act does. I’m glad that we passed this bipartisan bill this week, and I’m ready to see it signed into law. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/01/c...

Delawareans work their whole lives to earn Social Security. They deserve clear, straightforward information about when to claim their benefits.

Birth control is not abortion. This is not a hard question. But Trump's nominee for FDA Commissioner couldn't answer.

On what would have been his 102nd birthday, I’m thinking of President Jimmy Carter. As a patriot, a humanitarian, and a leader who centered human rights, he embodied what it means to make your faith come alive through public service. His legacy will long outlive us all.

Each year, scammers steal billions of dollars and ruin victims’ lives. That's why I'm leading a comprehensive effort to combat criminal scams. I sat down with Frontline PBS and AP to discuss this work and how both the public and private sectors need to ramp up their anti-scams efforts.

At the same time our country is grappling with a serious and horrific case of sexual assault at Cornell, Trump has watered down the very rules meant to protect student survivors of sexual violence. Enforcing Title IX is not political. It's common sense, and it is sorely needed in America today.

We told Republicans that the SAVE Act would never happen. It didn’t. Senate Democrats killed the SAVE Act in Congress.
- CS
The SAVE Act will NEVER become law in the United States of America. Republicans tried to jam through Trump’s SAVE Act: the most devious anti-voting rights legislation ever dreamed up to purge millions of voters from the rolls.

I’m proud to lead Congress's first push for a federal film tax credit alongside Senator Tim Scott. Our bill will create thousands of jobs and reassert the United States' leadership in film and TV production. There’s no better partner to have in this fight than Senator Scott.

Remember: Trump is continuously stoking doubt in mail-in voting when he cast votes that way TWICE THIS YEAR ALONE. There’s no basis to his claims – he just wants to make it harder to vote.

Bill Pulte has abused his position to cry wolf on mortgage fraud against Trump's perceived enemies. Now, Pulte is getting rid of the law enforcement personnel who investigate criminal mortgage fraud, leaving the US housing market at risk. All to protect himself.

How many more failed executions must take place before this cruel practice is consigned to the dustbin of history? To paraphrase Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun: we must no longer tinker with the machinery of death.

Americans are getting slammed by higher gas and diesel prices because of Trump’s war, and families need some relief. @chrispappasnh.bsky.social and I are fighting to suspend the gas and diesel taxes to lower costs and put money back in your pocket.

Americans pay into Social Security their entire working lives. They need to understand what benefits they’re entitled to so they can make informed decisions about retirement. I’m glad that my bipartisan bill to make that information clearer is going to the President's desk.

More than 7 months into Trump’s illegal war with Iran… Diesel up more than 70%. Gas up more than 50%. Grocery prices climbing steadily with no end in sight. It’s time to bring our troops home and bring down costs.

Minnesotans cannot afford a governor whose only plan for their health care is to double down on the Trump policies that are making health care more expensive.
- AK
Minnesotans have a clear choice. I have a record of standing up for Minnesotans’ health care and a plan to reduce premiums and lower prescription drug costs as Governor. Lisa Demuth called the Trump health care cuts “good for Minnesota” and voted against capping the cost of insulin.
- AK
Donald Trump’s massive cuts to health care are causing premiums to increase nationwide – and Minnesotans are paying the price.

We’ve seen this movie before — whether it’s trying to deploy the National Guard or ICE to our cities, or January 6th, 2021 and attempting to change the outcome of an election. So fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

We finally got a response from the Defense Department. Though I appreciate that they are willing to put that on the record, I still have no idea what Trump is going to do.

I’ve been asking the administration for a year and a half to be clear about the role of the military in our elections. I wrote to the Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Attorney General asking them to put it on the record.

This just confirms what we already knew. Republicans' Private School Voucher Program helps wealthy families, private schools, and unaccountable SGOs, while governors who “opt in” have no control over the program, but all the responsibility for cleaning up the mess. Ridiculous.

Trump is leaving communities in Massachusetts and disaster victims in blue states without essential disaster relief. Denying disaster relief to score political points is unacceptable. Trump must stop putting politics over people and deliver aid to Americans who need it.

Twenty months ago, Republicans won control of Washington on a promise to bring down costs, make government more efficient, and end senseless wars. But over the past two years, Republicans betrayed the American people on every single one of those promises.

Yesterday I tried to fast track my bill to ban data center development on public lands, like this one in Oregon. Republicans blocked it. In case there was any doubt, it’s clear Republicans are all in on Trump’s plan to hijack your public lands for data centers.

The violence that occurred at Cornell in 2024 is horrific. As a dad raising two young boys, I want my sons to know right from wrong, to speak out when they see something, and always listen to victims and survivors. I hope Jane Doe in this case can find the healing and peace she deserves.

Americans in crisis deserve support—no matter what state they live in or who they vote for. Trump is putting his ego over essential aid and is playing political games with disaster victims and communities. Unacceptable.

The third method of governance if legislation and regulation fail is litigation. That’s the last target for the captured Court to give fossil fuel free-to-pollute immunity against governance. Which is why Suncor is so important to them.

Two, they killed off climate regulation by killing the Clean Power Plan (twice, for good measure) and erecting their “major questions doctrine” barrier to any future climate regulation efforts.
- SW
One, they killed off climate legislation via the Citizens United decision dropping infinite fossil fuel dark money into our politics. Bipartisanship on climate died the day of that decision, as dark money flowed.
- SW
More important than the “structure of the Constitution” here is the structure of the Court — an institution captured years ago by fossil fuel billionaires. The fossil fuel billionaires are putting it to profitable use.
