I remember well the huge impact Gloria Steinem had on my mother in the early 70s. They’re the same age, and Gloria’s advocacy helped my mom & countless other women during periods of challenge and change as they redefined their roles, fought discrimination, & tried to build a better world for women.

I am heartbroken by the news of Gloria Steinem’s passing. Author, activist, trailblazer, icon. An organizer and a challenger of the status quo. Her work inspired a generation and will leave a lasting impact. May we recommit ourselves to the ideals of feminism—of true equality and justice for all.

President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill is creating unnecessary red tape that could cause over 100,000 Coloradans to lose access to health care through no fault of their own. www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

Trump campaigned on lowering gas prices below $2 a gallon. But gas in Hawaii is currently about $5.50 a gallon. Nobody in our country should be paying over $5 a gallon for gas while this regime wastes tax dollars on an illegal war, a ballroom, and a host of other nonsense.

Gloria Steinem believed and insisted that our country was capable of living up to its promise of equality. Her fearless, intelligent, and compassionate advocacy transformed the fight for women’s rights, broke down barriers, and opened doors for generations of women. May her memory inspire us.

I’m heartbroken to hear of the passing of my friend Gloria Steinem. I was fortunate to know her well over the years. Through decades of advocacy, she never stopped fighting for a better, more equal society. My heart is with her loved ones and everyone she inspired.

Sec. Hegseth treats civilian casualties as an afterthought, cuts personnel responsible for preventing them, & boasts that there will be “no stupid rules of engagement.” There must be a full investigation & accountability for this strike. And we must end this disastrous war now.

President Trump is telling us that if his side doesn’t win an election this November, then the election was rigged. And we’ve heard this story before. President Trump is telling us what he’s going to do.

What an incredible life. An iconic advocate for women’s rights, Gloria Steinem taught us what it means to fight for reproductive rights and gender equality. I know many, including myself, will miss her guiding light, but her legacy will live on in the community she created.

Trump’s Venezuelan Oil Grab looks doomed against market prices. For reference, Saudis can produce at $10-15 per barrel. Behind the curtain, look out for Trump cronies finding things to steal.

The average American can be subject to an IRS audit. But President Trump is suing the IRS to make sure he, his children, and his businesses can never be audited. This is just the next chapter in a much bigger story of deep, deep corruption.

Ragged Mountain Equipment has made outdoor gear in the White Mountains for decades. I stopped by to hear how President Trump’s tariffs are raising costs for this New Hampshire business and making it harder to keep manufacturing here at home.

As a result of Trump’s tariffs and war, American families are spending $3,500 more per year on the cost of food, gas and medicine. Meanwhile... Trump and his family have made more than $4 BILLION off the presidency. That's the cost of corruption.

Health care costs are expected to skyrocket by 8.2% in 2027. That’s the highest increase for employers in TWO DECADES. Under Donald Trump and Republicans, the cost of living keeps climbing higher and higher, with no relief in sight.

It was great to celebrate the opening of DreamTree's NEST Resource Center in Taos, a project I secured $1.5 million for. DreamTree has helped hundreds of Taoseños find food, shelter, and dignity, and NEST will provide expanded access to emergency shelter and basic necessities.

A trained service member in the middle of a war zone was blocked from fixing his broken MRI machine. That's wrong. Today, a court handed a loss to the giant companies making it harder to repair lifesaving equipment. We'll keep fighting to make right to repair law of the land.

Glad to see a federal judge stop the Trump admin's illegal attempts to weaken anti-discrimination guardrails in housing. Fair housing groups are essential to ensuring housing remains accessible to all. HUD must promptly comply with this ruling & end these baseless attacks.

Belgium’s diamond industry gifted Trump a gold ring encrusted with 321 diamonds and 75 gemstones. Then — poof — a month later, their diamonds got an exemption from Trump's tariffs. I'm investigating what looks like corruption in plain sight.

I've represented Burbank and Hollywood for over two decades in the House, and now in the Senate. I love the film industry and the work they do. And I'm intently focused on enacting a federal film tax incentive to bring back the jobs we've lost and to protect the exciting work this industry does.

You get energy affordability by getting off fossil fuel. Clean energy is least expensive on the grid. Clean energy has less “negative externalities” (pollution). Get enough clean energy and you get free electricity periods of the day. Our offshore is 9 cents/kwh in 18-cent grid.

Lisa Demuth couldn’t name one thing she disagrees with Donald Trump on. Not the health care cuts that are devastating our rural hospitals. Not the war in Iran that has cost American lives & driven up prices. Minnesotans deserve a Governor who will work for them – not a rubber-stamp for Donald Trump.
