My faith calls me to welcome those facing persecution. I’m firm in my belief that we cannot abandon our Afghan allies who served alongside our troops and risk being targeted by the Taliban if they return to Afghanistan. I won’t stop advocating for them.

I joined @duckworth.senate.gov, @padilla.senate.gov, & @schiff.senate.gov to introduce the National Archives Protection Act, a new bill that would ensure archival records, and the history they preserve, remain an accessible resource.

What happened after Donald Trump took a wrecking ball to federal child care programs? 400+ day cares shut down in Oklahoma. 300+ programs shut down in Indiana. HUNDREDS more have closed nationwide. Our families deserve better.

We are not safe until we get a handle on this. That starts with understanding the problem and reasserting human control over AI. The alarm bells are sounding — we need the AI Risk Management and Security Act, legislation I’ve introduced with @markwarner.bsky.social and Sen. Schatz, NOW.

5 million people, including an estimated 1 million children, have lost access to food because of Trump. Instead of a ballroom, an arch, or a war, we could be making sure people don’t go hungry. This President’s priorities are shameful.

The first couple days of my sons’ lives were filled with immense joy alongside the anxiety and uncertainty every parent faces. I introduced the NEST Act to make sure new parents are supported with the supplies they need, especially in our most vulnerable communities.

No one should go bankrupt trying to get the care they need and deserve. That’s why we need to make home and community-based services under Medicaid a mandatory benefit through legislation like the HCBS Access Act and support family caregivers, full stop. 2/2

Californians are still rebuilding and recovering after the devastating 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. I'm glad FEMA has finally heeded to our calls to release urgently needed financial assistance through the Disaster Case Management Program.

More than $400 million meant for the Secret Service has been diverted to White House construction projects, including President Trump’s new ballroom. I’m pressing for answers on what that means for the agency’s ability to protect our leaders and combat scams and other financial crimes.

Trump is refusing to spend nearly $1 billion in taxpayer dollars he signed into law HIMSELF—and Republicans are letting him. @merkley.senate.gov and I tried to pass a bill to stop Trump from stealing taxpayer dollars, and Republicans BLOCKED it.

Pierre Damas Bel was an honor student & part of his college's ROTC program. He was also a TPS recipient. After Trump's attacks on TPS, he was forced to wear an ankle monitor that isolated and humiliated him. Pierre died in an apparent suicide. He was 20.

For 50 years, the Hyde amendment has blocked abortion care for millions of women, especially women of color and those most in need. It’s past time Congress passes my EACH Act to finally end the Hyde amendment. Abortion care is health care. Period.

The Trump Administration has rolled back a Biden-era rule that added sexual orientation and gender identity protections for students. It’s a disgusting attack on the civil rights of students who want to safely learn like everyone else.

Pete Hegseth is again targeting our nation's top military leaders with zero explanation. With our nation in the midst of a war in the Middle East, Secretary Hegseth's leadership makes Americans less safe. This is yet another example of his incompetence. apnews.com/article/hegs...

This Administration is doing nothing—zero—to help the American people. While the President drives up costs and illegally cuts funding for programs to support housing and health care, he's using your tax dollars to pay for ads and a ballroom. I spoke on the Senate floor to call it out.

If Republicans really wanted to stop data centers from raising your utility rates, they wouldn't have put forward a toothless bill. In January, I intro'd the Power for the People Act, a real, enforceable solution to this crisis. No Republicans have joined us. Let's vote on it!

🚨I just gave my Republican colleagues a chance to demand an end to Trump's petty and childish fight with Canada. From his cost-raising tariffs to his threats to annex Canada as the "51st state," he's hurting NV and our economy, and Republicans know it – but they shamefully blocked my resolution:

For 5 decades, the Hyde Amendment has denied reproductive health care services to those who need them, creating chaos and putting lives at risk. It's long past time to end this cruel policy and make clear that abortion care is essential health care for millions of Americans.
