This morning in Glen Allen, I attended the annual Sovereign Nations of Virginia Conference to discuss the integral role of our tribes to the history, culture, and economy of Virginia. I'll keep working to advance their priorities and make sure all indigenous Virginians have a voice in DC.

The only conceivable reason for ICE to be at polling places is to spread the same fear and intimidation we’ve already seen in our communities. Every eligible American should be able to cast their ballot freely and safely. We’ll keep fighting tooth and nail to protect that sacred right.

Pete Hegseth blusters about meritocracy while demolishing our military’s merit-based promotion system. He wouldn’t know merit if it looked him in the eye. Our officers deserve clarity and due process when Hegseth caps their careers. Let’s require it by law. www.military.com/exclusive-se...

President Trump’s continued tariffs on Canada are hurting American families and businesses. Read my joint statement with @coons.senate.gov, @shaheen.senate.gov, @klobuchar.senate.gov and @murray.senate.gov:

The deadliest day of President Trump’s Iran war was more than six months ago, but the families of these fallen servicemembers have been left in the dark about what really happened. These families and the American public need answers, now.

Yet another gimmick from the president who called the affordability crisis a 'hoax.' Trump is driving up interest rates & this temporary band-aid isn't near enough. If Trump really cared about affordability, he'd end his tariff taxes & his illegal war of choice in Iran.

$500? A complete slap in the face to hardworking Americans this administration has betrayed time and time again. A mere 1.6% of the cost of a 3-day hospital stay. Truly insulting. If Donald Trump wanted to lower health care costs, he’d sit down with Democrats and restart the ACA tax credits.

The government threatening networks just because it doesn't like what the opposition says is what we expect in dictatorships like Russia, Iran, and North Korea, not the United States of America.

It was an honor to provide the keynote at the @nmsu.edu Domenici Public Policy Conference. Senator Domenici showed that bipartisanship isn’t about agreeing on everything. It’s about finding common ground and getting things done for folks at home. That’s the NM tradition I’m proud to carry forward.

Maybe President Trump doesn't realize this, but Republicans ALREADY control the House & Senate! So there's NO reason why he can't deliver on this $5k dividend and that health care plan he's been talking about for over a decade RIGHT NOW! But of course this is yet another grift.

Imran Ahmed founded the Center for Countering Digital Hate to hold Big Tech accountable by studying & exposing online hate and uncovering AI chat bots that threaten kids. Now the Trump admin is threatening to detain & deport him for his work. This cannot stand.

Nice try, but if you run up huge deficits by exempting big corporations and billionaires from taxes, markets will react. People collectively worth trillions, and corporations worth tens of trillions, and corrupt Trump, pay virtually no taxes.

Trump claims that his illegal and unwinnable Iran war will end right after the midterm elections. He’s lying. His own advisors know better. This war of choice will drag on until Trump leaves office unless Congress cuts off funding. We cannot wait two more years to end this disaster.

Your hard work still pays off, it’s just paying off for someone else. Billionaires and big corporations are doing better than ever, while working Americans are only scraping by. Turning this country around starts with putting workers first.

Child care in Illinois costs as much as $1,633 a month. Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, he’s attacking Head Start and making life harder for middle-class families. Enough. It’s past time we had universal child care in America.

Trump's health care cuts have been devastating – raising prices and tossing people off of their health insurance. As Governor, I'll reduce health insurance premiums and make lower cost drugs available. We’ve got to lower health care costs. And I’m up for the fight. ⬇️

“I thought I was going to die that day. On 9/11, I responded to Lower Manhattan. We were at the edge of the rubble pile, things were burning, and there was no light. But in that very moment, I had to shake that fear of death off because people depended on me. I find my solace in helping people."

I’m leading the NM Congressional Delegation in calling on Apple and Google to keep New Mexico as New Mexico on their maps. President Trump has no legal authority to rename our state. New Mexico’s name belongs to our people – not the president. The companies have until Sept 18 to publicly commit.

Trump’s presidency is so failed and broken, he is resorting to trying to bribe the American people for their votes. An insult to Americans, to democracy, and an admission of how absolutely screwed he is.

NEW: U.S. diesel prices have hit an ALL-TIME HIGH of $5.97/gallon. Remember: higher diesel prices mean higher delivery and heating costs. Your energy bill, your groceries, packages at your door— all of it will cost more. Donald Trump’s war with Iran did this.

Trump’s $1.3 TRILLION attempt to pay off voters would explode the deficit, drive up the cost of home and auto loans, and send inflation skyrocketing. Americans already think Trump’s economy is a disaster. Now he’s trying to make it even worse.

Corey Lewandowski's tenure at DHS can be defined as nothing but astonishingly corrupt. His self-enrichment even as Americans have been financially squeezed by higher prices is despicable and deserves a full investigation. Good riddance. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

I say this everywhere I go, including in Ironwood in the UP. If you need help with any federal agency, get in touch with our team. We have staffers, and all they do is help people solve their problems with the federal government. It often means banging pots and pans until we get an answer.

From day 1 we said the Dobbs decision was never about states' rights, it was about limiting women's access to care. To put an end to these relentless Republican attacks, we must codify reproductive freedoms in law & make clear that a woman's right to choose is her decision.
