Michiganders are demanding action to lower the cost of housing, and this bipartisan bill helps. It rewards communities that add new housing, cuts red tape and improves federal housing programs to help both rural and urban communities

"Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents... is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use [of] the grand-jury process," — Judge Schiltz It's a sad day when a judge has to tell the President he can't weaponize the govt against political opponents.

When Mike Lee tried to sell off 3 million acres of our public lands last time, we shut him down. I'm leading the fight to make sure no one can try to auction off our public lands through a backroom budget deal ever again. Our kids' inheritance is not for sale. www.kunc.org/regional-new...

At a time when it feels like we can’t agree on anything. We can agree that a fundamental part of the American Dream is the ability to buy a home. The bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act addresses the affordable housing crisis in concrete ways.

I voted yes on the ROAD to Housing Act to increase the number of homes and limit private equity from buying up single-family homes. Americans should have a fair shot at buying and rehabbing a home without being priced out by out-of-state investors. Now this heads to the House.

I just joined my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass the most comprehensive housing reform in 30 years. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will build more housing and stop private equity from buying up homes. We can build a future where everyone can afford housing.

From Mountain Maryland to the Eastern Shore, and everywhere in between, I hear the same thing: housing costs too much. Today, the Senate passed the ROAD to Housing Act to increase housing supply, cut red tape, and make homeownership more affordable for hardworking families.

Trump is proudly holding American national security hostage by demanding to attach the SAVE Act to FISA. The SAVE Act is the worst anti-voting rights legislation he’s ever dreamed up. And he's threatening our national security just to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

I just voted YES on the biggest housing bill in more than 30 years. This bill will boost housing supply, bring down costs, and — for the first time ever — stop private equity from buying up single-family homes.

I am working with @RepJoeNeguse and the Colorado Dem Delegation to sound the alarm on the months-long DACA renewal backlog that’s disrupting lives and instilling fear in the 12,000 Dreamers who call Colorado home.

Bill Pulte is a danger to our national security. I’ve already started pressing him hard to ensure he doesn’t abuse this role for political purposes… and I will keep working to hold him to account every single day he remains in this “acting” role.

Big corporations shouldn't get to call the shots and then pretend they're not the boss. I led my colleagues in calling out the Department of Labor's Joint Employer rule, which would weaken DOL's ability to investigate wage theft, FMLA violations, and other labor abuses.

As Trump fixates on his vanity projects, @democrats.senate.gov are advancing our housing bill to address issues Americans actually care about. Our ROAD to Housing bill is a strong start to putting us on the right track to fixing the housing shortage that's driving up costs in our country.

A perfect picture of Trump's presidency: Americans are losing their homes, cutting back at the grocery store, and drowning in bills, while Trump's top priority is cleaning up the Reflecting Pool. America needs a president, not a pool boy.

Trump dragged Americans into a deadly war of choice… including months of skyrocketing prices and tens of billions of your tax dollars spent… for a “deal” that’s not even as effective as Obama’s JCPOA.

Dreamers are contributing members of our communities who have followed all the rules, and the U.S. is their home. But the Admin is attacking protections for eligible DACA recipients, creating uncertainty for Dreamers who have built their entire lives and careers here.

The U.S. military was charged $4,361 for a half inch metal pin that costs $46. Why? Defense contractors—with ties to private equity—are raking in excess profits. Instead of cracking down, Trump's DoD is inviting private equity to be MORE involved in our national defense. youtu.be/_Dl8zdB2klQ?...

NEWS: We got a big win in court today for free and fair elections, blocking Trump’s efforts to set up a massive voter purge database. I called this out months ago as one of Trump’s most sinister strategies for subverting our elections. That’s why we have repeatedly blocked the wretched SAVE Act.

First the Reflecting Pool turned green with algae. Then the paint started peeling. Now it's headed for another round of repairs. Another example of misplaced priorities when Americans are focused on the rising cost of everyday life.

$600 MILLION for a vanity ballroom. $29+ BILLION for an illegal war. $300 BILLION for Iran. Even $14 MILLION for an algae-infested pool. But not a single penny for the 770,000 hungry kids in our country.
