Trump is withholding the $257 million Congress allocated to renovate the Kennedy Center. Instead, he’s shutting it down because he can’t put his name on the building. Why is the president more focused on naming monuments after his own ego than he is on governing?

The American people deserve real guardrails on crypto. The Clarity Act is weak legislation that will only enable the President to continue lining his pockets while in office.

New reporting now shows that this support from China may have directly contributed to the deaths of American servicemembers. The provision of targeting information by China to help Iran kill American servicemembers should be something even President Trump cannot tolerate.

Is it $38 BILLION? $40 BILLION? More? What is the true cost of Trump's illegal war? It's a simple question, but this regime won't give us a straight answer. The lack of transparency is unacceptable. Senate Democrats are demanding the truth. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Happy 79th birthday, U.S. Air Force! Nevada’s proud to be home to Nellis Air Force Base, Creech Air Force Base, and the NV National Guard 152nd Airlift Wing in Reno. Thank you to all the Airmen who courageously defend our skies, keep us safe, and fight for our freedoms. Aim high!

While gas prices stay above above $4/gallon, Trump’s priorities are his ballroom, the Kennedy Center, and election interference.

While RFK Jr.'s been shouting "Make America Healthy Again" from the rooftops, over 160 foods have been recalled so far this year. There’s nothing healthy about food-borne illness.

Minnesota – it’s time to vote! Starting today you can vote-by-mail or cast your ballot in person at a local office. Voting is safe, secure and easy in Minnesota. In the Primary Election a RECORD number of Minnesotans showed up to vote – and I know we can set another record this fall.

We shouldn’t be footing the bill for Big Tech when 75% of Americans oppose data center buildout. The Senate must put meaningful protections in place. My Protecting Communities from Data Center Impacts Act will rein in Big Tech’s expensive pollution bombs.

Donald Trump’s promise of $5,000 checks sounds like a bribe to me. Instead of making promises he won’t keep, he should focus on actually making life more affordable for Americans by ending his stupid tariffs and illegal wars that drive up costs.

Our veterans deserve accessible, high-quality care. I joined veterans and local leaders to demand answers on the Trump administration's closure of the Schenectady VA clinic, which disrupted care for over 1,500 veterans.

American families are facing the highest health care premiums ever, and double-digit rate hikes. Yet here's RFK Jr. talking about chemtrails at an event hosted by a group whose purpose is to spread conspiracy theories about vaccines—theories that are getting kids killed.

Nowhere is Trump's lie that he would focus only on the 'worst of the worst' clearer than his assault on TPS. TPS holders are here legally, they’re vetted, & they contribute to our communities. America is a nation of immigrants. Trump's attacks on them are cruel & un-American.

We're in the midst of an illegal war that's costing Americans $1 billion a day. Gas is over $4/gallon. AI companies are warning of threats to humanity. And the President is trying to demolish the Kennedy Center because he can't put his name on it. Sums up the Trump era.

Karim Daoud was detained by ICE on the same day he went to pick up work authorization documents. He was then held in the Elizabeth Detention Facility for over 9 months. It is a testament to his community that he is home with his children today.

Today is Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. My great grandmother came from Poland with nothing but the hope of a better life. I still have her citizenship papers. That's the story of so many American families. We’ve always been a country of immigrants. No one can change that.

A sickening reminder that hateful rhetoric will never be just rhetoric. Words that attack or belittle people over the color of their skin can also incite the most brutal attacks, especially when they are given official sanction. What an absolute, unmitigated travesty.

At a time when Trump’s economy is already unaffordable, the dream of home ownership is only getting further out of reach. We have to end the administration’s harmful tariffs and unwanted war with Iran and start bringing down costs for working families. www.wsj.com/economy/hous...

It's never been more clear to me how badly we need a solution to the healthcare crisis we're in. That's why I introduced MediKids – to put forward a solution that eases the burden. We can and should ensure healthcare doesn't leave families in crippling debt.

Folks in Georgia are lucky to have a fighter like @ossoff.bsky.social who is standing up to this Administration’s corruption and fighting to lower costs for families. And after talking to so many of them, I know they’ll do everything they can to re-elect him and help us take back the Senate.

If the President can't put his name on it, he is willing to close it or destroy it. He cares more about branding our institutions than preserving them. Congress allocated $257 million to repair the Kennedy Center. It should insist that work be done properly.

Do my Republican colleagues want future Democratic Presidents to refuse to send disaster aid to states that don't elect Democratic Senators? Trump has already weaponized disaster aid and refused help to blue states over politics. This is simply unforgivable.

No bombs for Saudi Arabia. No nukes for Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is a known violator of human rights and an instigator for the crisis in Yemen. I introduced a joint resolution of disapproval to stop Trump's sale of 10,000 bombs to the Saudis.
