For too many Minnesota families, child care is just not affordable or not available. In some cases, it can cost as much as a mortgage. Child care can be the difference between being able to take a job or not, and it is essential for our economy, for children, and for parents.

The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure and a key economic engine for Virginia. Trump’s decision to roll back policy that has helped clean up and protect the Bay is a terrible step back for Virginia’s gorgeous landscapes and our economy.

We all know the anxiety of spending a small fortune on a plane ticket knowing plans change. It doesn’t have to be that way. My Cash Refunds for Cancellations Act would protect the right to a refund up to 2 days before a flight & stop airlines from taking off with people's cash.

As the administration continues its dangerous and illegal effort to seek access to federal workers’ health records, @markwarner.bsky.social and I are once again fighting to end this clear violation of privacy.

A good energy job doesn’t just power our homes and our economy — it powers the American dream. My Good Energy Jobs Act would make sure federal energy investments benefit the workers and communities that build energy projects, not just the companies developing them.

You’re paying more every day because of President Trump’s war with Iran. From groceries to gas, the energy crisis he created is hurting working families and breaking many Americans’ budgets.

On National POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor the unwavering dedication of our servicemembers who’ve been held as prisoners as war. We honor those who remain unaccounted for and we will continue searching for them. We will never forget their sacrifices and service to our country.

On POW/MIA Recognition Day, we honor our American servicemembers who were held captive by enemy forces and those who remain missing in action. These heroes' service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Why is Trump fighting an all-out trade war with Canada? It's Canada for god's sake! Our friends and neighbors. I pushed to pass a bill to END Trump's tariffs and trade war and save families money—Republicans blocked it.

The misuse of Flock cameras has raised privacy, civil liberty, and accountability concerns across America. During next week’s hearing, I look forward to getting to the bottom of Flock’s collection, retention, and dissemination of the data they collect.

Thank you to LeadingAge for hosting a meaningful conversation about supporting seniors and their families. We need to expand our health care workforce and housing of all types and cut red tape so that Minnesotans can retire with dignity and receive the care they need.

When women are at the table, whether it be in elected office or a board room, the conversation changes because our lives are different. They aren’t better, they aren’t worse. They are just different. We must make sure that everybody is represented at the table.

Trump is withholding the $257 million Congress allocated to renovate the Kennedy Center. Instead, he’s shutting it down because he can’t put his name on the building. Why is the president more focused on naming monuments after his own ego than he is on governing?

The American people deserve real guardrails on crypto. The Clarity Act is weak legislation that will only enable the President to continue lining his pockets while in office.

New reporting now shows that this support from China may have directly contributed to the deaths of American servicemembers. The provision of targeting information by China to help Iran kill American servicemembers should be something even President Trump cannot tolerate.

Is it $38 BILLION? $40 BILLION? More? What is the true cost of Trump's illegal war? It's a simple question, but this regime won't give us a straight answer. The lack of transparency is unacceptable. Senate Democrats are demanding the truth. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

While gas prices stay above above $4/gallon, Trump’s priorities are his ballroom, the Kennedy Center, and election interference.

We shouldn’t be footing the bill for Big Tech when 75% of Americans oppose data center buildout. The Senate must put meaningful protections in place. My Protecting Communities from Data Center Impacts Act will rein in Big Tech’s expensive pollution bombs.

Donald Trump’s promise of $5,000 checks sounds like a bribe to me. Instead of making promises he won’t keep, he should focus on actually making life more affordable for Americans by ending his stupid tariffs and illegal wars that drive up costs.

American families are facing the highest health care premiums ever, and double-digit rate hikes. Yet here's RFK Jr. talking about chemtrails at an event hosted by a group whose purpose is to spread conspiracy theories about vaccines—theories that are getting kids killed.

Nowhere is Trump's lie that he would focus only on the 'worst of the worst' clearer than his assault on TPS. TPS holders are here legally, they’re vetted, & they contribute to our communities. America is a nation of immigrants. Trump's attacks on them are cruel & un-American.

We're in the midst of an illegal war that's costing Americans $1 billion a day. Gas is over $4/gallon. AI companies are warning of threats to humanity. And the President is trying to demolish the Kennedy Center because he can't put his name on it. Sums up the Trump era.

Today is Constitution Day and Citizenship Day. My great grandmother came from Poland with nothing but the hope of a better life. I still have her citizenship papers. That's the story of so many American families. We’ve always been a country of immigrants. No one can change that.
