Trump’s DOD is squandering an opportunity & obligation. Freezing aid directed by Congress is illegal, & morally reprehensible. Hegseth should be called to account in Congressional hearings today & tomorrow.

Trump is breaking America’s promise to Afghan allies—sending them to death & torture in Afghanistan or humanitarian crisis in the Congo. Along with our veterans, I say NO.

Trump wants to cut a quarter billion dollars for worker protection programs that help keep you safe on the job. He already gave billionaire CEOs a tax cut—now he wants to sacrifice your health to them too.

At this point, it seems like the administration is just hoping to get back to the status quo before this war.

Businesses in New Hampshire rely on Canadian tourism, yet the Trump Administration's actions are pushing visitors away—costing Granite Staters money. Last week, I made sure Secretary Lutnick knew how his childish insults are hurting my constituents. www.wmur.com/article/jean...

From reversing their stance on the pesticide RoundUp after meeting with its CEO, to appointing a Chevron & Big Tobacco lobbyist as a senior health official — this administration doesn't have a "Make America Healthy Again" agenda - it has a "Make Corporate Donors Richer" agenda.

On April 1st, Speaker Johnson vowed to fund DHS "in the coming days." Must have been an April Fools’ joke because INSTEAD, Johnson has extended the shutdown for FOUR WEEKS and counting. So if Speaker Johnson is looking for someone to blame for the shutdown, get him a mirror.

It's a scary day in America when an actual king behaves more democratically than the President of the United States.

I’m relieved the rest of this year’s LIHEAP funds are finally being released—following pressure from me and other Senators across the aisle. Heating and cooling assistance is critical for families to stay safe and healthy. No one should have to choose between bills and chills.

We’ll keep fighting to protect this fundamental right for every Coloradan.
- MB
We held the line against Trump’s voter suppression bill. Now we’re fighting to block his illegal executive order targeting mail-in and absentee ballots. Stripping Coloradans of access to vote-by-mail is a desperate attempt to silence voices and undermine our gold standard elections system.

Every time you pull up to the pump, you’re paying more and more to fill your tank because of Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Working families deserve better.

Must be a total coincidence that the FCC launched this probe right after Jimmy Kimmel told another joke Trump didn't like. The FCC can try to dress this up however they want, but this is just another flagrant attempt to silence Trump critics & stifle free speech. variety.com/2026/tv/news...

On #WorkersMemorialDay, we remember the workers who never got to come home at the end of the workday. Today reminds us to keep pushing for strong workplace protections and ensure every worker has the rights, safety, and dignity that they deserve on the job.

DOJ’s political leadership is clearly desperate to continue appeasing Donald Trump by appealing to his worst instincts. This is another case of a weaponized Justice Department.

FCC Chair Carr’s legal challenge of ABC’s broadcast licenses is political retaliation—unconstitutional, government censorship. Disney must fully fight this bullying in the courts & in public opinion—do not obey in advance.

Families in rural Illinois deserve reliable, affordable energy, & electric co-ops are critical to this goal. Today, I spoke with the Association of Illinois Electric Cooperatives about how we can preserve programs that support rural communities as Trump indiscriminately cuts critical assistance.

I co-sponsored and supported @kaine.senate.gov’s War Powers Resolution tonight because we cannot afford another unauthorized war.
- AA
We are already engaged in a costly, unauthorized conflict with Iran — one with no clear objectives, results, or exit strategy. Republicans must join us in defending the Constitution and serving as a check on this out-of-control President.
- AA
A conflict with Cuba would cost hardworking Americans billions of dollars, deepen the humanitarian crisis in Cuba, and put American service members in harm’s way. The Constitution is clear: only Congress has the authority to declare war.

The housing crisis is spiraling out of control. Americans can’t afford rent or the skyrocketing costs of ownership. We need to pass the ROAD to Housing Act so we can start taking meaningful action to lower Americans’ costs.

Americans are working longer hours just to keep up with rent, groceries, and bills. Instead of helping them, Republicans are planning to use $400 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to fund Trump’s gilded ballroom. This is exactly where their priorities lie.

Esta acción impedirá que estos trabajadores puedan proveer para sus familias y los dejará susceptibles a perder sus trabajos. Estoy forzando un voto en el Senado para revertir esta ley injusta que perjudicará a los trabajadores, las empresas, sus familias y a nuestra Economía.

More corruption. A top advisor to RFK Jr. maintained a multi-million-dollar stake in his wellness company that could directly benefit from Trump's expansion of Health Savings Accounts last summer. He didn't divest until November. The grift in this Admin knows no end.

In Trump’s America, a picture of seashells at the beach is enough to indict you. Donald Trump lets vengeance & vanity pervert our justice system. Indictments on demand deeply degrade our democracy.

This "case" — like the last one — is a clear political persecution. The Trump DOJ continues to act as the President's personal attack dog, using taxpayer money to settle Trump's petty grievances. This is blatant authoritarianism.

Trump is too busy trying to slap his face on everything to lower costs for working people or end his war in Iran. My new bill, the HUMBLE Presidents Act, would stop the president from advertising his own personal brand. Our leaders should focus on the issues that matter to American families.

Even as Trump policies worsen the economy & increase prices, tone-deaf Republicans are prioritizing Trump’s opulent ballroom over affordability. Democrats are working to lower household costs. GOP is trying to jam through Trump’s unpermitted, $400M+ vanity project.
