TRIA was critical to giving people and companies the stability they needed after tragedy struck. Presidents of both parties have consistently reauthorized it ever since. 2/3

The Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA) was first created after 9/11 to support redevelopment in lower Manhattan and surrounding areas in New Jersey, like Jersey City. 1/3

Great to welcome Black leaders to Washington for Congressional Black Caucus week. When our Black communities are strong, Arizona is strong—and our entire country is stronger when we move forward together.

If the President can't put his name on it, he is willing to close it or destroy it. He cares more about branding our institutions than preserving them. Congress allocated $257 million to repair the Kennedy Center. It should insist that work be done properly.

As a former Superintendent of Denver Public Schools, I hope the President signs this bill immediately so those who teach our youngest Coloradans can get the support they deserve.

Great to see the House pass our SEED Act, delivering relief for early childhood educators who cover classroom costs out of their own pockets.

Do my Republican colleagues want future Democratic Presidents to refuse to send disaster aid to states that don't elect Democratic Senators? Trump has already weaponized disaster aid and refused help to blue states over politics. This is simply unforgivable.

Our rail workers play an integral role in our state’s economy, keeping our transit systems in top shape so they can deliver for riders. Today, I met with Bob Guy and other SMART-TD leaders to discuss the need for a robust surface transportation reauthorization and rail safety improvements.

Almost $8 for diesel at a gas station in Chicago. President Trump’s war with Iran is pushing Illinois families to their breaking points. What happened to lower prices on day one?

On this day in 1787, our founders signed the U.S. Constitution—and its ideals have guided us closer to equality in the years since. But there's more work to do, particularly when it comes to enshrining equal rights protections for women in that pivotal, living document.

The EPA is literally testing your drinking water for medication abortion. It's not because the science says we should—it's to make anti-abortion extremists happy. I won't let these radicals hijack the EPA, and I'll be pushing for answers.

He should really look at gas prices and end this foolish war.

I’m opening an inquiry with @wyden.senate.gov into Flock’s troubling policies to ensure Americans' privacy is protected.
- AS
Whether it's the use of data to track patients traveling for reproductive care or its abuse by ICE officials to conduct searches without warrants, the improper use of Flock camera data is dangerous and creating an uproar.

No bombs for Saudi Arabia. No nukes for Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom is a known violator of human rights and an instigator for the crisis in Yemen. I introduced a joint resolution of disapproval to stop Trump's sale of 10,000 bombs to the Saudis.

Ectopic pregnancy deaths have nearly doubled in post-Roe America. The rates are even worse in states with abortion bans. When we warned them women would die, they didn't listen. This was preventable.

I have a different view. Fossil fuel funded Trump’s campaign. They’re on his team. Blocking low-cost clean energy drives grids to their expensive power plants, sending billions in ratepayer dollars to big Trump donors. It’s a massive scam pumping money from ratepayers to donors.

Take a minute to listen to just part of this public comment about how Head Start helps families and changes lives. Trump is trying to tear Head Start apart. We can't let him.

Americans shouldn't go broke to afford the insulin they need. We must take action to lower the cost of insulin so that no one has to make impossible choices just to pay for this life-saving medicine. I’m going to keep fighting for the bipartisan INSULIN Act to do just that.

Walmart and Amazon are hiding Made in America products from customers when they are looking for them. That’s wrong, and it needs to change. We should be doing everything we can to support American manufacturing and businesses, not undermine them. www.wsj.com/cmo-today/se...

The Senate GOP even had a chance to support my bill to end Trump’s costly tariff tax—instead they blocked it. Trump and the GOP are doing nothing to lower costs. They couldn't care less.

Two ways we can fight corruption: 💰Rein in dark money in politics 👨⚖️Establish enforceable ethics rules at SCOTUS I’ve introduced bills to do both. Glad to see my SCERT and DISCLOSE Acts featured in @democracydefendersaction.org's anti-corruption scorecard.

I voted against the Farm Bill that Republicans forced out of the Agriculture Committee. It doesn’t give farmers the help they desperately need, it doesn’t provide food assistance to millions going hungry, and it doesn’t help rural communities constantly getting left behind.

Trump still can’t explain what this war is for. All he's delivered is higher gas and grocery prices. Our servicemembers and the American people deserve better.

Trump keeps trying to downplay the cost of his Iran war but it has cost everyday Americans over $100 BILLION in inflated gas prices. @democrats.senate.gov will keep fighting to pass our War Powers Resolution to bring our troops home, and to lower costs for the American people.

Canada is now “aggressively” shifting its trading elsewhere due to the President's trade war and insults by Sec. Lutnick and others. Make no mistake: As New Hampshire's most important trading partner, pushing Canada away will hurt Granite Staters. www.washingtonpost.com/us-policy/20...

It is unacceptable that anyone is forced to wait months or even years for the benefits they worked hard to earn. Care cannot be put on hold. That's why I introduced the Stop the Wait Act to stand up for the disability community and end harmful waiting periods that delay the support they deserve.
