The Voting Rights Act has protected Americans’ – particularly those who have been disenfranchised – right to vote and be properly represented in Congress for decades. The campaign to dismantle it is a deliberate effort to silence some American voices and give more power to politicians.

Honored to attend a bipartisan dinner this week with María Corina Machado, leader of the Venezuelan opposition and a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Grateful to have a meaningful conversation about the importance of advancing free and fair elections in Venezuela—and how to help make that happen.

When I hear from people about what keeps them up at night, so often it’s their rent, their mortgage, or whether they’re ever going to be able to afford their own home. Congress is finally doing something about it. We’re close to the finish line – we just need the House to act.

As President Trump’s war in Iran drags on, we need clarity on the objectives, how we’re going to pay for it and how we are going to end it. Watch our Armed Services Committee Hearing with Secretary Hegseth later today.

As Justice Kagan wrote for the dissent, the Voting Rights Act was "born of the literal blood of Union soldiers and civil rights marchers." I agree that this decision is a disappointing exercise "in politics and partisanship."

With its decision in Louisiana V. Callais, the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority has again turned its back on the promise of an equal right to vote, further eroding the landmark Voting Rights Act.

I enjoyed speaking with hunger and nutrition advocates from Vermont this week. In the richest country in the history of the world, nobody should be going hungry. I thank these advocates for their tireless efforts.

Our government’s system of checks and balances does not work when Congress refuses to hold the President accountable. It’s time we see some real courage.

Trump is literally paying energy companies NOT to produce clean American energy and create American jobs. And he's using your tax dollars to do it. When you're opening your utility bills this month, remember that.

The Trump EPA puts the value of a human life at zero dollars in their rulemakings to make it easier for them to pollute. They put a cost on corporate expenses, but not on asthma, heart disease, or exposure to toxic chemicals.

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate," - Donald Trump As Trump's Iran war drags on, remember: President Obama ensured Iran couldn't get a nuclear weapon without starting a war. It was Trump who ripped up that deal.

No more nibbling around the edges. No more being the default option against Trump. It's time for Democrats to dream big and fight hard for the changes we need to make life better for working people. I'm proud to stand with @repcasar.bsky.social who is leading the way.

The Trump administration talks about trillions of savings for big corporations—but ignores the costs facing Americans at their kitchen tables every day because of their rollbacks.

Glad to see the federal appeals court blocked the Trump Administration's mass-detention agenda — sending a clear message that due process must be upheld. No one, regardless of immigration status, should be imprisoned without basic constitutional protections. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/app...

This means workers with legal status will lose their work authorization because of bureaucratic delays, businesses will lose workers, and prices will go up. This reckless action won't just hurt "red states" or "blue states" – we will all pay the price.

I just forced a vote on the Senate floor to overturn a Trump rule that could kick 3.8 million workers out of their jobs. My resolution had bipartisan support, but most Senate Republicans voted it down.

It's saddening but unfortunately not surprising. This Supreme Court has continued to weaken the Voting Rights Act and made it harder for eligible voters across the country to make their voices heard, particularly those who have been historically disenfranchised. apnews.com/article/supr...

Secretary Hegseth is an arrogant and aggressive bully. Bullies always blame their failures on others. Hegseth can’t manage the President’s misguided war in Iran and blames others when you ask him legitimate questions.

Trump: "We have enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world 150 times." But I guess that's not enough because he wants $7 billion MORE for nuclear weapons. Because that's what families are begging for: Less affordable housing, so Trump can blow up the world 151 times.
