Together we will defend hard-won protections for our LGBTQ+ community and fight against Trump’s bigoted attacks. No one should be discriminated against for who they are or who they love.

Wonder why Trump bailed on signing our housing affordability bill into law this week? Well, this and because he wants to kick millions of American citizens off the voter rolls to rig the November election for himself.

We had a bipartisan measure ready to go that would lower the outrageous cost of housing, but President Trump refused to sign it because he cares more about passing his voter suppression bill.

Donald Trump’s DOJ just cleared Paramount's takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. A few days later, David Ellison — the man behind Paramount — was at Trump’s birthday bash. We can't let Trump and his buddies control what's on our screens. This fight isn’t over.

When Donald Trump tells you the economy is doing well, he means it's doing well for people like Elon Musk.

This week, I stood with my colleagues to call on the President to sign the bipartisan housing bill passed by the House and the Senate. Marylanders from Western Maryland to the Eastern Shore are saying: housing costs too much. We have a solution. It's time to sign the bill.

New Mexico wouldn’t be New Mexico without our chile. That’s why I introduced the CHILE Act – to make sure our chile growers and specialty crop producers have the support they need to keep growing, creating jobs, and feeding our communities.

Working Americans wanted Trump to focus on lowering costs. Instead, Trump spent $14 million trying and failing to paint the Reflecting Pool. Working Americans still want Trump to try to lower costs. Instead, Trump wants to spend millions more painting the Reflecting Pool *again.*

Trump wants to strip current immigrant workers WITH legal status from places like nursing homes that need the workers the most. Devastating to the workers, their families, and the people who rely on their help and expertise. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

This isn't just some Washington fight over legalese. We ordered the Trump administration to spend funds on life-saving services around the world. By breaking the law and refusing to do so, people will die.

They lied and told us it wasn't a war. Then, they lied and said it was over. Now, they want us to spend $80 BILLION of your money on the war they never should have started.

Americans want reliable and affordable energy. To keep up with demand and to combat climate change, we need more investments in clean energy projects. We’ve fought the Trump admin’s reckless cuts to clean energy alternatives at every turn.

5 million Americans can't afford health care. Yet, $14+ MILLION tax dollars are being spent on an algae-infested pool, and now our National Guard is being tasked with "securing" it. Apparently, guarding algae is a higher priority than ensuring Americans can see their doctors.

This week, I forced a Senate vote to repeal the administration’s new rule that will make it harder for future nurses, teachers, and other key public servants to pursue higher education. Republicans blocked it. Just plain wrong! Education shouldn’t be a privilege for the wealthy.

The biggest form of theft in America? Corporate wage theft. Workers are robbed of an estimated $50 BILLION EVERY YEAR! And Trump's answer has been to give the green light for employers to steal from workers—so I've got a bill to make sure workers get the pay they've earned.

Gas prices are still high from Trump's illegal war in Iran. Fuel efficiency standards saved drivers money for decades before Trump put Big Oil above Americans. I introduced the Gas Money Saved Act to make sure drivers can buy fuel-efficient cars that keep money in their pockets.

Inflation has surged to its highest level in years. Thanks to Trump's tariffs and war. This President is intentionally making life harder and more expensive for Americans. All while spending your taxpayer dollars on vanity projects and war.

The Supreme Court sided with corporate polluters over the health of the American people. This decision to protect Bayer and Monsanto puts corporate immunity above accountability. Americans deserve transparency about cancer-linked chemicals and the ability to hold corporations accountable.

Big Tech's data centers are spiking energy costs for households across our country. If a trillion-dollar corporation wants to build a data center, the American people shouldn't have to pay for it. My Power for the People Act would make sure that Big Tech pays, not consumers.

The average age of a first-time homebuyer is now 40 – a decade older than it was in 2010. That’s a crisis. Yet Trump still refuses to do the bare minimum and sign the overwhelmingly bipartisan law that could help lower housing costs.

Trump is so afraid of losing the midterms that he's demanding the USPS not deliver ballots to millions of American voters. As judge after judge slaps down his attempts to rig the 2026 midterms, we must all remain vigilant to ensure voting remains a right promised to every American.

Inflation is at its highest level under Trump. New Mexicans are struggling to put food on the table, keep a roof over their heads, and make ends meet. Trump has repeatedly said – and shown – that he does not care about the increased costs you are facing. The American people deserve better.
