It was great to join Clean Energy NH yesterday and continue my Affordability Action Tour with a discussion on the importance of clean energy investment and lowering costs. With fuel prices spiking, I’m working to provide real financial relief for NH families.

Another tariff-by-tweet. Another way to piss off our allies. Another way to raise costs on hard-working families like yours. www.wsj.com/economy/trad...

Trump says higher gas prices are a “small price to pay” for his reckless, illegal war. Tell that to Americans paying $20+ more per fill-up—which will cost drivers over $730 more per year on average. That’s not small.

Still, I’m glad Lagarde reiterated what we’ve been saying: “Alternative sources of energy offer the clearest path to minimizing the trade-offs between Europe’s energy-policy goals of security, sustainability and affordability.”

Passive voice? Climate change has “become a partisan issue”? Say it straight: fossil fuel industry’s corruption has made it a partisan issue; Republicans are hip-deep in fossil fuel money and lies.

Nurses are the backbone of our health care system. This National Nurses Week, we honor the more than 5 million who show up for us every day. I’m fighting for more funding for recruitment and training, fair pay, and protecting the right to organize. Let’s have their backs. youtube.com/shorts/4SZNf...

Republicans kicked millions of kids and families off SNAP, then drove up the cost of basically everything with Trump's reckless tariffs and war of choice with Iran. They do not care about helping working families—not one bit—and I will keep fighting back.

When it’s you vs. the rich, Trump picks the rich. Every. Single. Time. The Senate passed this housing bill 89–10. The White House supported it. Now Trump’s siding with corporate landlords over families who just want to own a home.

It’s not about banning technology or innovation, it’s about how you use it. And is it American or from an ally like Canada or Japan? Or is it from China?

The Fifth Circuit's ruling to limit access to medication abortion was a political decision by a few extremist judges. SCOTUS paused that ruling—now Congressional Democrats are arguing what the science always made clear: mifepristone is safe & effective.

When nothing can get through the Strait of Hormuz, it drives up costs across the global economy. I don't think there's a single person or company in Michigan that's not watching the price of gas right now and just sort of gasping when they pass by the gas station.

Last year, Senate Republicans tried to sell off 3 million acres of public lands in a massive land grab that would’ve devastated Colorado and the West. I introduced the Public Lands Integrity Act to stop future sell-offs through fast-tracked, backroom budget deals. We must protect our public lands.

Republicans' next big legislative push includes: ✅ $70+ billion for ICE & Border Patrol ✅$1 billion for Trump’s ballroom ❌ $0 for health care ❌$0 to help you afford the basics Budgets show your priorities—and this makes clear Republicans won't lift a finger to help working families.

Every military officer knows ‘hope’ is not a plan. But Pres. Trump took our nation to war with Iran without a plan, hoping for the best. 2 months later: Strait of Hormuz is still closed, costs are skyrocketing, & Trump can’t explain how this war ends. Americans deserve an answer.

2026 has been the worst year on record for Colorado's snowpack. @neguse.house.gov and I are pressing the Trump Administration to step up wildfire preparedness efforts and equip Coloradans to respond to unprecedented risks this fire season.

Most of us can probably name a special teacher who made a huge difference in our lives. For me, that teacher was Mrs. Taylor. She put me on the path of scientific exploration that ultimately led to me studying engineering. Happy Teacher Appreciation Day to all our educators. 🍎

As a former prosecutor, I know we need to root out fraud and hold people accountable. As governor, I will order a top-to-bottom audit of our state agencies, strengthen criminal penalties, and increase in-person inspections. And that’s just the start. www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/minneso...

The Big Beef monopoly is crushing Americans. The DOJ heeding my call to investigate the meatpacking industry is a good first step, but results are urgently needed to lower costs. We must go further and pass my bill that would break up the beef monopoly once and for all.

Rubio’s refusal to properly honor Foreign Service Day & the 300+ FSOs who died while serving, is an affront to their service. Now, he's firing 250 of these non-partisan civil servants while we are in the middle of a war that is testing our alliances & endangering Americans around the world. [1/2]

People are tired of just getting by and deserve a real shot at building wealth. That means lowering everyday costs and creating pathways to generational wealth through homeownership and access to the digital economy. We should be focused on both.

I have a bipartisan bill with Senator Jon Husted to ensure the yellow paint used on our roads is American-made — produced right here in Michigan, creating good jobs. We shouldn’t rely on China for things like yellow road paint. Let's buy American and support American workers.

In Muskegon, I visited Sun Chemical to talk about the importance of maintaining a strong, American chemical industry -- and not ceding any more manufacturing ground to China. Part of how we do that is by ensuring the government is buying American-made products first.

It is never a good idea for Presidents to be deciding which drugs, medical devices, or tobacco products should be approved for the market. Bad for patients, bad for industry. Let the scientists & doctors decide.

Military action at the Strait is part of the ongoing war, not some distinct operation as Hegseth disingenuously attempts to depict it. He’s seemingly seeking to avoid coming to Congress as required by law, pushing an imaginary pause button.
