Our government’s system of checks and balances does not work when Congress refuses to hold the President accountable. It’s time we see some real courage.

Trump is literally paying energy companies NOT to produce clean American energy and create American jobs. And he's using your tax dollars to do it. When you're opening your utility bills this month, remember that.

Today, my team wore jeans in honor of Denim Day, which raises awareness for sexual assault and domestic violence survivors. I’m grateful for the organizations across Nevada that work to combat sexual abuse, support survivors, and ensure women have the resources they need.

The Trump EPA puts the value of a human life at zero dollars in their rulemakings to make it easier for them to pollute. They put a cost on corporate expenses, but not on asthma, heart disease, or exposure to toxic chemicals.

“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate," - Donald Trump As Trump's Iran war drags on, remember: President Obama ensured Iran couldn't get a nuclear weapon without starting a war. It was Trump who ripped up that deal.

No more nibbling around the edges. No more being the default option against Trump. It's time for Democrats to dream big and fight hard for the changes we need to make life better for working people. I'm proud to stand with @repcasar.bsky.social who is leading the way.

The Trump administration talks about trillions of savings for big corporations—but ignores the costs facing Americans at their kitchen tables every day because of their rollbacks.

Trump’s priorities in order: #1: Himself #2: Himself #3: Himself Americans are concerned about gas prices and groceries. Trump is concerned about his own vanity.

Glad to see the federal appeals court blocked the Trump Administration's mass-detention agenda — sending a clear message that due process must be upheld. No one, regardless of immigration status, should be imprisoned without basic constitutional protections. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/app...

Today, on National Fentanyl Awareness Day, I’m joining Senator Chuck Grassley in leading a resolution to raise awareness, honor those we have lost to substance use disorder and underscore the need for more resources to fight this epidemic and save lives in NH and across the U.S.

I just forced a vote on the Senate floor to overturn a Trump rule that could kick 3.8 million workers out of their jobs. My resolution had bipartisan support, but most Senate Republicans voted it down.

Good to see bipartisan legislation pass in the Minnesota House and Senate. After Colin Hortman shared his story, this bill requires disclosure of chemical irritants and helps ensure homeowners aren’t stuck with the clean-up cost by their insurance. www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/minneso...

It's National Fentanyl Awareness Day. I'm working to build on the progress made by my legislation—which is now law—to direct increased federal attention on the fight against fentanyl, especially at a time when the Trump-Vance Administration cuts funding for overdose prevention.

It's saddening but unfortunately not surprising. This Supreme Court has continued to weaken the Voting Rights Act and made it harder for eligible voters across the country to make their voices heard, particularly those who have been historically disenfranchised. apnews.com/article/supr...

Gas prices are now an average of $4.23, up FORTY PERCENT since Trump started his costly, reckless war with Iran.

Secretary Hegseth is an arrogant and aggressive bully. Bullies always blame their failures on others. Hegseth can’t manage the President’s misguided war in Iran and blames others when you ask him legitimate questions.

The Trump-Vance Administration refused to have a public hearing on its dismantling of the Dept. of Education. Transparency matters, so I planned to broadcast today's roundtable discussion with Ed Secretary McMahon. Their response? Cancelling the roundtable entirely. youtube.com/shorts/z51Q_...

Pleased to see the Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs include my Produce Prescriptions for Veterans Act in their legislative hearing today. Too many of our nation’s veterans lack access to fresh fruits and vegetables. My bill would help put these healthy foods in reach of our veterans.

Trump: "We have enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world 150 times." But I guess that's not enough because he wants $7 billion MORE for nuclear weapons. Because that's what families are begging for: Less affordable housing, so Trump can blow up the world 151 times.

Trump can't win the election except by rigging it. He said it himself. And that’s exactly what the right-wing is trying to do, from gerrymandering, to the SAVE Act, to attacks mail-in voting, and more. We will not let them rig the system.

SCOTUS should protect the right to vote, not take it away. This decision eviscerates safeguards against voter suppression & decimates the Voting Rights Act. Republicans can now fulfill their dream of drawing congressional maps to further disenfranchise Black voters in the South.

Trump's already spent at least $25 billion on his unjustified war that's sending gas and grocery prices through the roof— And he's asking for another $200 billion— But says we have no money for health care.

Thousands of young people are alive today thanks to the 988 suicide hotline for LGBTQ+ youth. Last year, Trump shut it down. But we fought back, and forced Trump to reverse course. This is a good step, but we still have a long way to go to make every kid in America feel safe.
