The Affordable Care Act was passed 16 years ago today. For millions of Americans, it meant coverage, peace of mind, and access to care when they needed it most. It's one of the most important protections working families have. And this Administration is trying to get rid of it.

AI is impacting our lives in countless ways, and it will have an impact on our democracy. AI-generated campaign ads have hit the airwaves, faking voices and images to mislead voters. We must put rules of the road in place to protect the integrity of our elections.

Prediction markets are offering sports bets — just with a different name. They are being offered in states where sports betting is illegal, like California, while federal regulators are greenlighting them rather than enforcing the law.

One way to help would be to get assurances that DOJ and the marshals sworn to protect our federal judges will investigate behind the mere utterer of the threat whenever there is evidence of orchestration, coordination or conspiracy – something they have refused to say despite many requests.

Three weeks in and Trump STILL has no strategy for his dangerous war with Iran, no endgame, and no clear directive. Trump’s war of choice is costing YOU billions while prices skyrocket at the pump and at the store. NO war with Iran.

I am keeping the loved ones of the Air Canada crew who were killed and the passengers and New York Port Authority staff who were injured in my thoughts today. Tragedies like this are a reminder of why the NTSB must be allowed to do its job, free from partisan jockeying and stunts.

This is what desperation looks like. President Trump wants Republicans to BLOCK funding for TSA until Congress passes his voter suppression bill. He is terrified that the American people have turned against his failed agenda.
- MH
All those long, long lines you're seeing at the airport are thanks to one man: Donald Trump. He was presented with a deal to fund TSA along with the rest of DHS except ICE, and he said no. This is on him. punchbowl.news/article/sena...

Senate Republicans could fully fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard today. All they have to do is agree to our request to fund these agencies immediately while we negotiate a deal on ICE and Border Patrol.
- AK
This is absolutely unacceptable. When disaster strikes, it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican. All that matters is that you and your community get the help you deserve. This kind of partisan decision-making is not only irresponsible, it can cost lives.

A third of Americans with health insurance had to cut back on food and utilities last year to pay for it. They say we can't afford universal health care, but we can afford a billion dollars a day on war in the Middle East? America first, indeed.

Does this settle the question of which party is holding TSA funding hostage to get other stuff? Remember Democrats’ offer on TSA funding: “Yes. No conditions.” Could it be any clearer?

Donald Trump is tying himself in a triple knot. 1. Refusing to fund TSA and causing chaos at our airports 2. Starting a reckless war of choice in Iran 3. Pushing a voter suppression bill to disenfranchise over 20 million American citizens And each day he ties the knot tighter.

16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law—giving tens of thousands of Granite Staters health insurance access. I'm proud of all the ACA accomplished, but the work isn’t done. We must keep fighting to lower health care costs and expand access to American families.
- TK
It’s the Affordable Care Act’s 16th anniversary. Today, I’m frustrated that the GOP is hellbent on destroying it and allowed ACA enhanced premium tax credits to expire last year—raising health care costs for millions. We must restore those tax credits and strengthen the ACA.

Good week with Arizona's city and town leaders. They came to DC to make sure their voices are heard in Washington. Water. Infrastructure. Public safety. The stuff that actually affects people's lives. Glad they made the trip. Always good to hear directly from the people doing the work back home.

Democrats - and now members of the Republican leadership - have attempted to fund TSA and most of DHS only to continuously be blocked by President Trump. Let’s be clear: Trump is responsible for the DHS shutdown.

We now know why Republicans in DC have been blocking TSA funding. It’s because President Trump wants to use TSA as leverage to pass his voter suppression bill. Enough with the games. Fund TSA now.

I am heartbroken by the tragedy at LaGuardia. My prayers are with the victims and their families. I am closely monitoring the situation and in contact with the Port Authority. The NTSB is on the ground. New Yorkers deserve a full accounting of what happened.

While Trump’s tariff taxes continue to hammer American small businesses and working families, his illegal war in Iran is sending gas prices sky high. Enough. Trump must end his unconstitutional war and stop putting pain on Main Street.

In the past six months of Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, fewer women and families are getting critical medical care, and many more are facing skyrocketing health costs. I’m partnering with @warren.senate.gov and @wyden.senate.gov to help expose how health care cuts endanger access to lifesaving care.

After blocking it 7 times, Senate Republicans agree that we should fund TSA, FEMA and Coast Guard, and set ICE aside while we negotiate reforms. President Trump is holding DHS funding hostage to protect ICE. We can pass this funding bill today. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

The only reason TSA agents are going without pay right now is because Republicans are holding their paychecks hostage so they can shovel more money at ICE and CBP. That's absurd. Republicans need to stop blocking our bill to pay TSA & start getting serious about basic ICE reforms.

Americans don’t want ICE in our airports or in our communities. We just want Republicans to agree to fund TSA so workers can be paid and these lines can go down. Trump is trying to intimidate us. It’s time Republicans agree to fund TSA instead of voting it down every time.

TSA workers have not been fully paid in 30+ days. Yet Republicans here in Washington have literally decided to suspend the business of the Senate to solely focus on ramming through their voter suppression bill.

Instead of sending untrained ICE officers to airports, Republicans could support my bill to pay TSA agents — but EVERY Senate Republican present voted against doing so over the weekend.

My thoughts go out to the loved ones of those lost and injured on Air Canada Express Flight 8646, and I am closely monitoring @ntsb-bot.bsky.social & FAA’s investigation into the cause of this deadly incident. Congress must ensure FAA has the resources and staffing to keep our skies safe.
