The Franconia Loop Trail is one of our most iconic destinations, and I was more than happy to secure federal resources to support its restoration needs. It was great to visit yesterday, and a special thank you to everyone who has contributed to the trail's restoration!

Another person just died in ICE detention. It’s more than double the number of people who died in all four years under the previous Administration. The Trump Administration’s mass deportation policy does not represent America’s values.

At Timberline Fire Station #3 in Black Hawk, we saw firsthand what investing in our first responders looks like. This momentum can’t stop. Our communities and first responders need the support more than ever.

Good news: The House just passed a bipartisan bill with a key provision based on my legislation to delay the federal hemp ban, which I opposed last year. It’s headed to the President’s desk & he should sign it immediately.

As a father, it's devastating to see the impact Trump and Republicans' cuts to SNAP are having on our kids. Too many are at risk of losing the nutritious meals they need to stay healthy and focused – and parents don't need another thing to worry about as we go back to school. 1/2

Haitian TPS holders are our neighbors, caregivers, and community leaders. Now Trump’s cruel decision is forcing them out of Massachusetts. @BluntRochester.senate.gov and I introduced legislation to extend Haiti TPS through 2029. The House has acted. The Senate must vote now.

Trump’s senseless trade war is nothing short of economic arson—no business can plan around Trump’s unpredictable tariffs, American credibility is shot, and costs are up. Republicans are afraid to stand up to Trump, but Democrats aren't. Stop Trump's tariffs NOW!

This $1 billion in dark money could've been stopped. In 2010 I wrote the DISCLOSE Act to end secret money in our elections. It passed the House, but Senate Republicans blocked it & continue to do so. We must keep fighting. You have a right to know who's trying to buy your vote.

Canada fought beside the U.S. in both World Wars, the Korean War, and Afghanistan. Their National War Memorial stands as a reminder of what that cost. You don't walk away from an alliance like this. I'll keep fighting to protect it.

We won’t let this admin’s attempts to undermine our free and fair elections stand. Mail-in voting is safe, secure, and accessible for millions of Americans. That’s why Trump uses it himself.

The USS Lincoln is finally heading home, but our sailors and Marines still deserve answers. Reports have raised concerns about food, clean water, hygiene, AC, sewage, morale, and mental health. @murray.senate.gov and I are demanding an independent review and accountability from the Pentagon.

Trump’s tariffs are costing the average family $2,000. The fastest thing we can do to lower your costs is get rid of them. I’m proud to introduce legislation today that would revoke and refund Trump’s latest tariffs, letting you keep more of your hard-earned money.

Pete Hegseth is trying to silence anyone who exposes his failures as Secretary of Defense. The Pentagon fired three @starsandstripes.bsky.social journalists just a few days after the outlet published a story about mental health and food and water shortages aboard the USS Lincoln.

Sec. Driscoll’s resignation leaves the Army without its top civilian or uniformed leadership and its officer ranks gutted by Sec. Hegseth. The Trump admin’s infighting and culture wars have strained our military and impeded its ability to win on the battlefield.

The White House, the Kennedy Center, Yosemite National Park — these symbols of America do not belong to any one person, they belong to the people. Trump's attempts to desecrate them only show what a small, narcissistic man he is.

U.S. tax dollars should not be misused by the Pentagon to boost Sec. Hegseth’s personal views or amplify his partisan political messaging. DOD exists to defend the nation, not to advance any partisan agenda. Congress must fully investigate this unlawful and unethical action.
