I’m fighting to end AI prior authorization. This is just a backdoor effort by the Trump administration to cut Medicare benefits by making providers ask AI before you can get the care you need.

President Trump has taken away health care from millions. His tariffs have raised grocery costs. The price of gas is on the rise. And now, he's asking Congress for $200 billion to fight a reckless war that puts our troops at risk. I will not support it.

Jack Smith offered to testify publicly under oath. Senate Judiciary Republicans would rather pursue a baseless partisan witch-hunt. A complete waste of time.

Congrats to NJ's own Jamie Ding for winning his 7th game of Jeopardy last night by answering THIS final Jeopardy question: "Before taking office in 1801, President Jefferson asked the Army to locate this officer who had 'knowledge of the western country.'" Any guesses NJ?

Replacing nurses with robots. Claiming AI will fix doctor shortages. The Trump Admin’s sick view of rural health care overpromises & underdelivers. These flashy claims don’t make up for the tens of billions of dollars they’re taking away from rural hospitals & clinics.

This is Trump’s payback to his corrupt fossil fuel donors. Every clean inexpensive energy source he takes off the grid moves the grid back to marginal polluting fossil plants that would otherwise be off line. Billions goes from ratepayers to big donors. It’s a scheme. www.npr.org/2026/03/24/n...

Today is National Agriculture Day! From sap houses to dairy farms to orchards, our farmers are integral to our state's culture and local economies. Let's celebrate our Granite State farmers and the critical work they do to provide all of us with fresh, locally grown food.

On National Ag Day, we recognize the farmers and ranchers who fuel our nation, feed the world, and are the backbone of our economy. I’ll continue to stand with them and keep fighting for their success.

Trump attacked Obama for sending cash to Iran as part of the Iran Deal, which was working to stop an Iranian nuclear bomb until Trump tore it up. Now to fix a crisis of his own making, Trump is handing Iran $14 billion in sanctions relief—And there is still no articulated plan. We must end this war.

I'm grateful that Dennis Coyle will be coming home after the Taliban wrongfully detained him for more than a year in Afghanistan. Dennis is a native of Pueblo, Colorado who dedicated over 20 years of his life to improving the lives of the Afghan people.

We’re relieved to hear that Dennis has been freed after being wrongfully detained for over a year. We hope he is with his loved ones soon.

Is Trump manipulating markets to benefit his billionaire friends?

Taxpayers pay twice: Trump is giving one billion taxpayer dollars to a company so it WON'T build clean offshore wind. Fewer clean energy projects pushes up utility rates, which costs families even more.

Working Americans forced to miss shifts. Rural voters traveling for hours. LGBTQ Americans facing ID hurdles. The SAVE Act is about disenfranchising voters. Instead of free and fair elections, it is bought and paid for elections. Instead of one person one vote, it’s one white person, one vote.

Tornadoes, ice storms, and high winds. Extreme weather is happening more and more every year. And it is directly impacting small farmers, independent restaurants and all of us who pay for increased prices.

ICE at airports isn't about fixing delays, lowering costs, or helping families. It's about piling more stress onto already overwhelmed travelers. Instead of deploying ICE to intimidate travelers, he should agree with Democrats to fund TSA.

Granite Staters have seen gas prices jump by eighty-six cents a gallon and diesel jump by a dollar eighty since February due to the President's war in Iran. President Trump is spending billions on his Iran war and the American people are footing the bill.

Trump promised no new wars and lower prices, and Americans are seeing the exact opposite. Gas prices and energy costs won't stabilize at the drop of a hat. The best time to end this was yesterday. The next best time is NOW. No war with Iran. Lower prices.

Millions of dollars are missing. ABC, Paramount, X, and Meta all settled lawsuits by promising to donate millions to Trump's library fund. Now, his initial library fund is gone. Is the money in Donald Trump's pocket? I'm pressing for answers.

In addition to the 13 American servicemembers who have been killed, Trump's war has resulted in the deaths of over 2,000 civilians in the region, including over 100 Iranian school kids. All of them should be alive today. To stop the killing we must end the war, NOW.

Trump says we can’t afford the basics families need. But he’s got $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to stop offshore wind projects that would lower energy costs. Families get excuses. Big interests get checks. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Americans want affordable health care, lower costs at the gas pump, and cheaper groceries. What they're getting is a war in Iran. The $12B Trump has spent overseas would've gone a long way in solving the real issues our communities care about.

After driving up gas prices to $4/gallon, Trump used $1 billion taxpayer dollars to cancel renewable energy project leases that were going to make energy cheaper for New Yorkers. He used your money to drive up your energy bills.

Kristi Noem’s legacy will be failure. She slipped on ICE. I’m unconvinced that Senator Mullin has the knowledge, skill, or the right advisors to rein in ICE abuses and say “no” to Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant instincts. I voted NO.
- MH
Senate Republicans FINALLY accepted Senate Democrats' offer to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard while we continue to negotiate common-sense guardrails for ICE. Trump blocked the deal. He's holding YOUR safety hostage to avoid reigning in ICE's lawlessness.

I went to the Senate floor to read Republicans’ own words about why they support the SAVE America Act into the Congressional Record. They have made it clear, Republicans are pushing this bill to increase their chances of winning in November.

My Statement Opposing Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of Homeland Security

- MW
Every day, Trump’s chaotic foreign policy agenda is sticking taxpayers with a billion-dollar bill.
- TD
Mullin's confirmation doesn't change the fact that Trump's agents executed two Americans in broad daylight—or fix the issues at Trump's DHS. And a pinky promise that ICE and CBP will stop terrorizing our neighborhoods isn't good enough. We need serious reforms passed into law.

Today, I voted against confirming Markwayne Mullin to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security.

Electric and fuel-efficient vehicles. Clean energy. Battery storage technology. Trump calls that socialism. But what do you call 100 years of tax breaks for oil, gas, and coal? Give us some of that socialism.

I have been steadfast in my belief that President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security has made our communities less safe, left states to suffer alone in the wake of natural disasters, and completely disregarded the rule of law.

Today I voted against confirming Markwayne Mullin as DHS Secretary. Since this administration took office, we’ve seen from DHS reckless enforcement actions, due process violations, and a pattern of conduct and violence that has shaken public trust in the agency.
- AA
Both Kristi Noem and Markwayne Mullin share the one qualification Republicans value most: loyalty to the President over the law. Mullin would continue the same failures. That’s why I voted no — and why I won’t support another penny for ICE without real reform.
- AK
I voted NO on Senator Mullin for DHS Secretary. The failures at DHS run far deeper than who holds the title of Secretary. Trump and his cronies continue to show no intention of ending the lawlessness we’ve seen in our streets and we must demand better.

ICE at airports is just the latest tactic in Trump’s campaign of unchecked cruelty. We must continue to shine a spotlight on ICE’s tremendous abuses of power, which is why I am hosting a forum tomorrow to bear witness to the stories of children brutalized by DHS agents.

The President said he didn't have the money to lower millions of Americans' health care costs, but he has spent upwards of $30 billion on an illegal war.

I voted no on Markwayne Mullin’s nomination to be DHS Secretary. I will not vote to install another yes-man to enable Donald Trump.

I do not have confidence that Senator Mullin has the willingness or vision to undertake urgently-needed reforms at the Department of Homeland Security to rebuild trust following Secretary Noem’s disastrous tenure. My full statement on tonight's vote:

I’m thrilled that after years of hard work, Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, the largest commercial-scale offshore wind project in the U.S., is producing clean, reliable energy. I’m proud to support VA’s leadership in the clean energy economy.

I just voted against confirming Markwayne Mullin as the next DHS Secretary.
- PM
I voted NO on Senator Mullin's nomination to lead DHS. We need a Secretary who can clean up the mess that Noem left, rein in the out-of-control masked federal agents, and focus on real accountability & transparency. That's not Mullin.

ICE is already at our airports. Bringing heartbreaking scenes like this to an already chaotic environment. And now Tom Homan and Donald Trump want them at every airport across America.

Enough of this chaos. ICE Agents are not trained or certified in aviation security. Senate Democrats have tried to pay our hardworking TSA workers multiple times, and Senate Republicans have blocked it. Trump needs to stop playing politics and tell Republicans to fund TSA.
