NEWS: We got a big win in court today for free and fair elections, blocking Trump’s efforts to set up a massive voter purge database. I called this out months ago as one of Trump’s most sinister strategies for subverting our elections. That’s why we have repeatedly blocked the wretched SAVE Act.

Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. We need to keep fighting for universal healthcare so everyone has access to the care they need and deserve.

We need to ensure our tribal communities, who have a deep understanding of these issues, can voice their concerns. I’ll keep working to get this commonsense bill passed to improve the inclusivity and success of this process. www.peters.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

The top 1% owns as much wealth as the entire middle class. That's not the America we're supposed to be. We need an economy that works for everyone, not just those already at the top.

Banning SBA loans for job creators and entrepreneurs with lawful immigration statuses is hateful and bad policy. I’m proud to stand with 60 Mass legislators, my Senate colleagues, and small businesses in calling for the repeal of SBA’s draconian citizenship restrictions.

The Senate is on the verge of passing the biggest housing bill in 30 years, which includes the work I’ve been leading to break the grip of hedge funds on our housing market. Let’s get this done!

Making life more affordable starts with making housing more affordable. My housing plan will reduce barriers to building more homes, lower costs, and create opportunity across Minnesota.

North Carolina Indiana Ohio Oklahoma West Virginia These are some of the states with the LARGEST drops in health care coverage—all represented by Republicans who voted AGAINST lowering YOUR health care costs to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.

This facility should never have been proposed in the first place and ICE scrapping the deal is a win for Romulus and for Michigan. It is what can happen when local citizens, local leadership, and state leaders all work together to protect our communities. www.wxyz.com/news/region/...

Colorado will not be intimidated. Our election system is secure, transparent, and trusted by Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters. We will not dismantle a system Coloradans trust to satisfy a president still peddling election lies.

Unable to convince members of his own party to pass the SAVE Act, President Trump is now trying to bully states into adopting his election agenda.

It shouldn’t have taken 100-plus days, 13 American servicemembers losing their lives, and gas prices through the roof for the President to realize diplomacy, not war, was the only answer here.

We can’t lose sight of the cruel reality that Donald Trump has created in this country. He has stripped health care away from millions. Taken food away from millions of hungry families. And made virtually everything more expensive.

Two things keep coming up when I talk to farmers across Colorado: costs and water. Trump’s illegal war and tariffs are driving up costs. And his administration’s slow walking of Colorado River grants has only made our water crisis worse. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Like much of the country, we’re facing a shortage of child care providers, and it's especially dire in the most rural areas of our state. I'll keep fighting to expand access to child care across New Hampshire for the families who depend on it everyday. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/06/15/u...

Remember when Trump said he would "fix" the healthcare crisis he helped create? He didn't. He let the enhanced ACA subsidies expire with no alternative. And now it's predicted up to 5 million Americans will lose their marketplace coverage this year.

First the Reflecting Pool turned green with algae. Then the paint started peeling. Now it's headed for another round of repairs. Another example of misplaced priorities when Americans are focused on the rising cost of everyday life.

$600 MILLION for a vanity ballroom. $29+ BILLION for an illegal war. $300 BILLION for Iran. Even $14 MILLION for an algae-infested pool. But not a single penny for the 770,000 hungry kids in our country.

I took an oath to the Constitution. Not to a president. Every Marine did. Sending our military to the polls to intimidate voters is disgusting, illegal, and exactly what Trump has said he wants to do. The Protect Our Polls Act stops it cold. Senator Elissa Slotkin

Our uniformed military do not want to be sent into their own states or communities to do something illegal. That includes being sent to interfere in an election. And if our service members are asked to do something illegal, they have a responsibility to push back.

The United States stands firmly with the people of Colombia in demanding free and fair elections. Legitimate threats must be addressed, but if President Petro is weaponizing conspiracy theories to maintain power, he risks deeply damaging Colombian democracy and our historic partnership.

In the last six months alone, the President has said that the 2020 elections were rigged over 100 times. He continues to tell us exactly what he thinks and what he is going to do around our elections.

An outrageous attack on the rights and independence of the disability community. We will not let Trump’s DOJ drag us back to a time when Americans with disabilities were institutionalized against their will and ripped away from their families. Period.
