It was an honor to deliver keynote remarks at @fp4america.bsky.social Leadership Summit and speak about how we can reshape America’s foreign policy to be focused on resilience – not just about weathering the anxieties and challenges of today, but building opportunity for future generations to come.

Americans are facing rising housing, utility, grocery, and health care prices. What are Congressional Republicans focused on this week? Funding President Trump’s billion-dollar ballroom.

I got Trump’s Energy Secretary to admit that explosive nuclear testing is NOT necessary. Nevada has seen firsthand how these types of explosive testing can harm our environment and community for decades to come, and I’ll be holding the Trump Admin to that commitment.

Who’s having the worst week? Senate Republicans or Donald Trump? Hard to say when it’s only Wednesday and they’re all in a downward spiral where every day feels like a new rock bottom.

Barney Frank was one of the sharpest, most dedicated lawmakers I’ve ever worked with. Under his leadership, we passed the historic Dodd-Frank bill, which made comprehensive reforms to Wall Street after the 2008 financial crisis.

Barney Frank was a fearless champion for working families, and a pioneering trailblazer for LGBTQ+ rights whose courage opened doors for so many. His wit, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to justice shaped our nation for the better. My deepest condolences to Jim and all those who loved him.

These “prediction markets” are ripe for corruption. The world shouldn’t be one big casino. We should pass our BETS Off Act ASAP to stop people from profiting off of war and government decisions.

I'm fighting to protect our families and prevent children from being detained, stop ICE officers from hiding behind face masks, and demand transparency and oversight in detention centers.

Today, I introduced critical DHS and ICE reforms to rein in President Trump's lawlessness and ensure accountability in our communities.

The Trump Administration just authorized the sale of flavored vapes across the country, even though these products addict children & expose them to harmful chemicals. I sent a letter to RFK Jr. demanding that he push back on this corrupt decision if he really is committed to his MAHA agenda.

We all benefit from great teachers, firefighters, nonprofit hospital staff, and other public servants. But now the Trump-Vance Administration wants to gut a critical program enacted by Congress to encourage folks to get trained for these jobs. Here’s what I’m doing about it:

I was able to visit with Barney last year during a trip to Boston. He was one of the brightest members I have ever had the pleasure of serving with. He will be missed.

Gas is over $4.50 a gallon. Grocery prices had the biggest one-month jump in nearly four years. Electricity bills are up by as much as 13%. Naturally, today, Senate Republicans are taking your tax dollars and trying to pour it into Trump's ballroom.

Barney Frank was a brilliant, trailblazing man. America was made stronger thanks to his exceptional leadership in Congress, including his work to recover from the financial crisis. I spoke with Barney a few days ago and thanked him for his fearless leadership. He will be missed.

I asked Sean Duffy how much gas cost on the "Great American Road Trip" sponsored by Shell and Toyota. He had no clue. Must be nice! Regular Americans don't have corporations to pay for their gas. Gas, which is WAY more expensive thanks to Trump's war.

The Trump Admin should focus on lowering costs, not forcing neighborhood community banks and credit unions to enforce immigration laws. I saw this coming and introduced legislation to stop this overreach. Americans deserve access to financial services without fear, surveillance, or intimidation.

Thousands of New Mexicans have lost their livelihoods because the Trump administration is deliberately destroying the federal workforce. Our unemployment rate is going up, and hardworking families across New Mexico are the ones left suffering the consequences of Trump's destructive agenda.

NEW – Since day one, I’ve opposed this war. The Senate just took a major bipartisan step toward stopping President Trump from dragging the U.S. deeper into it. End the war.

Trump's DOJ worked harder to protect the privacy of potential child abusers than the Epstein survivors. I gave Acting AG Blanche multiple opportunities to say, "I apologize" or "I'm sorry." He refused. It's a disgrace.

Trump is setting up a $1.8 billion slush fund for payouts to his political friends who have committed crimes. Who’s eligible to get a payout? January 6 insurrectionists, Trump family members, Trump allies, etc. Who’s paying for it? YOU, the taxpayer.

I asked Sean Duffy what an Airline executive would get for contributing $1 million to his "Great American Road Trip" reality TV show. He just about blew up. If you're going to let the corporations you regulate pay for your vacation, you need to answer for it.

So if you or I cheat on our taxes, we could spend time behind bars. But if Trump... or his kids... or his businesses cheat on their taxes, the law doesn't apply. This is insane & beyond corrupt. DOJ works for the American people, NOT Donald Trump.

The Senate finally voted to advance a War Powers resolution to end this costly war. While Americans face rising gas and grocery bills, the President's attention is elsewhere. I urge my Republican colleagues — join me, pass this resolution, and deliver for hardworking Americans.

Standing in front of the site of his $1 BILLION, gold plated, taxpayer funded ballroom, Trump tells working people that an over $1.00/gallon spike in gas prices is 'peanuts.' Trump first, working Americans last. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Nuclear reactors in the Middle East have been attacked many times during Trump’s reckless war on Iran. Yet Trump wants to build more in Saudi Arabia, without the strongest safeguards. This is a nuclear disaster waiting to happen. We should not build nuclear plants in war zones.

Clean water is a basic right. This dangerous effort to roll back water quality protections will only allow more harmful chemicals into our drinking water — putting Americans' health at grave risk.

Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet and I have a bipartisan bill to prevent CCP purchases of Michigan's farmland, which has passed the House in the Farm Bill.

While we are still learning the full results of President Trump's summit with President Xi, this is a clear step backward and a full 180 from his first term. American farmland should be for American farmers -- not for the Chinese Communist Party.

Finally. The Senate just took a step in the right direction to stop Trump’s illegal war with Iran that’s created a cost of living emergency for folks at home. Congress needs to assert its constitutional duty and do what the President won’t—help Americans and end his war of choice.

I am pleased to see the Senate finally step up to its constitutional duty and advance a resolution requiring Congress to approve further military action against Iran. Consumer prices are up, Iran’s regime hasn’t moderated, and service members are at risk. We need oversight of this war now.
