U.S. arms sales to Taiwan aren't negotiating chips – they're required by law under the Taiwan Relations Act. More than that, they're central to a free and open Indo-Pacific, and our own national and economic security.

When President Trump’s term is mercifully up, he can rest assured that statues of him will likely be erected, and forever enshrined, at the headquarters of the few who actually benefitted from his tenure: tobacco giants Reynolds American and Altria.

Patel’s disrespect is boundless—disrespect for ethical limits & rule of law, disrespect for national security & professionalism, & now disrespect for this sacred site & our nation’s heroes. He merits no respect. He must go.

Firefighters and emergency responders are battling dangerous wildfire conditions across northeastern Minnesota. They are doing heroic work. All should continue to follow local emergency guidance and avoid closed areas so crews can safely do their work.

As the son of a WWII veteran and a former Lieutenant Commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve, I have a deep admiration and appreciation for the men and woman serving in uniform. This Armed Forces Day, and every day, my thoughts are with them as they sacrifice so much to keep us safe and secure.

That crew, that mission, and that moment meant everything to me — and even more that Gabby was there watching. Thank you, Endeavour, and thank you to the tens of thousands who made this mission a success and got us home safely.

15 years ago today, Endeavour left the launch pad for the last time. I was training for what would be my last mission when Gabby was shot. Four months after that day, she was on a rooftop 3 miles away, watching me go to space for the last time.

We discussed the need to pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act in the House, and I heard from AREAA about other housing challenges Asian communities face from language access to discriminatory practices. We must continue to ensure all Americans seeking to buy a house can do so. 2/2

Caring for my dad, I saw just how hard navigating our healthcare system can be. Each of us has faced that struggle, and it's why, as senators, we're working every day to make it easier for everyone to find care for themselves and their loved ones.

These gerrymandered maps only work if we don’t show up. That is what they are counting on. These maps will break under the pressure of turnout.

On Armed Forces Day, we recognize the bravery and sacrifice of American service members who put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe and fight for liberty abroad. Thank you to all the men and women in our military. As a nation, we are forever indebted to you.

Michigan is a specialty crop state, and the skyrocketing fertilizer costs due to the war with Iran is only making life harder for our farmers.

They deserve stability, support, and leaders who understand that military strength starts with keeping faith with the people who wear the uniform and the families who stand behind them.

In Virginia, we know these deployments are never borne by sailors alone. They are carried by spouses, children, parents, and entire communities waiting at home. These families serve too.

These decisions placed enormous strain on our servicemembers, their families, and the overall readiness of one of our most important naval assets.

President Trump sent the Ford around the world – repeatedly extending its deployment – from the Mediterranean to the Caribbean and the coast of Venezuela and then back to the Middle East in support of an open-ended conflict of his choosing.

While families across Hampton Roads and throughout Virginia will rightly be celebrating their safe return home, we must also recognize how we got here.

Their resilience and dedication reflect the very best of our Navy. I thank every sailor aboard the Ford and the servicemembers deployed with Carrier Strike Group 12 for their extraordinary service, sacrifice, and steadfast commitment to our country.

For more than 320 days at sea, they served with professionalism and resolve, even enduring a serious fire onboard while continuing to carry out their mission.

After a record-breaking deployment, the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group and its sailors will soon finally return home to their families.

Honored to celebrate the opening of La CASA today in Villa Victoria—the largest Latino cultural center in New England. La CASA will be a new home for art, activism, and opportunity. A place for communities to come together to protect collective memories and create new legacies.

Amid his disastrous war of choice and self-created economic crisis, Donald Trump flew halfway around the world to flatter a foreign dictator—and came back with nothing to show for it. Nothing about that is "America first."

It was my honor to speak with SFC Jose Serrano today after successfully advocating for his wife’s release from ICE detention. I’ll never stop working to protect those who sacrifice for our nation.

Trump is actively investing in companies which his administration regulates & awards taxpayer funded contracts to. Trump is making millions off your tax dollars, all the while his policies are spiking inflation & putting life out of reach for millions of working Americans.

No, Tina Peters should not have had her sentence commuted. She broke Colorado laws and was convicted by a jury of her peers. Here’s my statement:

This Islamophobic attack on a candidate for office in Michigan is meant to intimidate, and it should be condemned by all. I am glad nobody was hurt, and I hope the perpetrator faces full accountability.

Extreme weather events like extreme heat are not only harmful to our health, they can also put our ability to access clean drinking water at risk. NV has seen some of the hottest summers ever recorded, which is why I’m introducing a bill to ensure our communities can access safe drinking water.

Big Tobacco is always looking to hook kids. For young people flavors makes all the difference. FDA’s decision to authorize flavored e-cigs ensures a new generation will become addicted to these dangerous products.

I had a simple question for Trump's HUD Secretary. Could he help house more people with LESS funding? After all, Trump wants to slash funding for housing & spend $1.5 TRILLION on his war budget. Instead, he started blaming Joe Biden. JOE BIDEN is NOT the President! Get a grip.

The Supreme Court's decision reiterates what we already knew to be true: mifepristone is safe and effective. There’s still much to regain for reproductive healthcare, but this decision is a start.

When Trump pushes our allies and partners away, he’s not only making us weaker, he’s giving a gift to President Xi. I’m working with colleagues from both sides to hold this President accountable to our commitments and to our national security.

President Trump’s war of choice in Iran has sent the cost of fertilizer and gas through the roof for our farmers. That is not just theoretical for farmers in Wisconsin, and today, I toured Skenandore Farm in Seymour to hear just what it means for them.

As is clear from the President's summit in China, this is an Administration in search of a coherent foreign policy. And because of that, the American people are paying the price at the gas pump and the grocery store.

This reeks of corruption. Already, the “ice cream window” is open at DOJ for cash payouts to his cronies.

Drastic cuts to the CDC have deadly consequences. We are not responding to Hantavirus as fast as we should be because Trump and RFK Jr. have fired hundreds of disease experts. This admin needs to fully restore CDC’s capabilities so we can better respond to these threats.

On Endangered Species Day, I’m grateful for the work conservationists, advocates, and communities are doing to protect threatened and endangered species. We need lasting solutions to address the challenges facing American wildlife, and I’m committed to doing that work.

Arizona families are working hard, but costs continue to rise — making it nearly impossible for many to keep up. Housing, health care, groceries, and energy costs need to come down so people can get ahead, instead of just getting by.

Reproductive rights are under attack: Mifepristone today, IVF tomorrow, & contraception after. This isn't hypothetical. We're seeing the anti-abortion playbook unfold in real time. There's a pro-choice majority in the U.S. Using the law, our voices, & our votes–we have to win.
