Republicans in Washington are spending $70 billion MORE on ICE while so many across this country can’t even afford to put food on the table. We don’t suffer from a poverty of resources in this country. We suffer from a lack of moral imagination.

Ever wonder how private equity works when it takes over your local restaurant, stores at your mall, or even your hospital? Pretty Woman explains it exactly right.

On World Refugee Day, I’m thinking of the millions of people displaced by conflict and persecution around the world. I will keep fighting for refugees and push back against the Trump-Vance Administration's steps to dismantle the US Refugee Admissions Program.

Congratulations to Chef Adrian Torres who won the 2026 James Beard Award for Emerging Chef. Adrian is a proud DACA recipient & one of the many brilliant young immigrants who make our nation great. Congress must pass the Dream Act so people like Chef Adrian can finally have a pathway to citizenship.

Lynn Bartels was a force in any newsroom. Colorado will miss her inspired and intrepid voice and her sharp wit. Susan, the girls, and I send our love to Lynn’s family with gratitude for her great service to journalism and to our state.

Her reporting made Colorado better, and her passion, humor, and integrity will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones. (2/2)

Lynn Bartels was a one-of-a-kind person. That’s not a cliche she would have tolerated in a story, but it’s the truth about her. She had a knack for breaking big stories, asking smart questions, and holding all of us accountable. (1/2)

I joined the Juneteenth celebration in Rondo to celebrate the end of slavery and honor a neighborhood whose history reflects both the challenges we've faced and the progress we've made. With voting rights still under attack it is a reminder that the fight for justice never ends.

Senator Hyde-Smith and I have a new bill to deliver more fresh produce to food banks so families can access healthier food & specialty crop farmers have more business opportunities.

California is the number one specialty crop grower in the country, growing nearly half of the nation’s vegetables & over three-quarters of the country’s fruits & nuts.

Americans already paid the price for Trump’s illegal war through months of higher costs. Meanwhile, Iran stands to receive hundreds of billions in post-war relief. Iran gets money back. You don't. It’s despicable. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/w...

Trump’s war in Iran needs to end, but the weak deal he negotiated does it in a way that leaves us worse off than before. Giving billions of dollars of funding and sanctions relief to Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, is unacceptable and will make America and our allies less safe.

These threats from the Israeli national security minister against millions of Lebanese civilians are completely unacceptable. He is talking about millions of innocent people, and the families and friends of thousands of Michiganders. Shameful.

The unhinged and insane conspiracy theory that medication abortion is a threat to our waterways is no longer just a fringe right fever dream—it's now being pushed by Republican leaders. Let's be clear: Mifepristone is safe and effective.

One of my proudest moments in the Senate was when I helped to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. Today, I’m thinking back to the journey of passing that legislation five years ago alongside Dr. Opal Lee. We owe today to Ms. Lee’s determination.

On Juneteenth, we recognize the injustice of slavery and the lasting harm it caused, we honor the resilience of Black Americans in the face of centuries of oppression, and recommit to pursuing justice for all.

This administration is again rewarding loyalty to the president over every other consideration, including security, experience, and the proper use of taxpayers dollars. The public deserves answers.

The Trump Administration awarded over $22 million in federal contracts to a firm that organized the January 6th rally Trump used to incite the insurrection.

It’s simpler: blocking low-cost clean energy diverts electric grids to more expensive fossil plants, raising costs but driving billions of dollars from consumers’ pockets to Trump’s big corrupt fossil fuel donors. www.sanluisobispo.com/opinion/edit...

Democrats should make 2 key points. 1) The illegal war in Iran has been a blunder & we are worse off than before it started. 2) There’s no good way out of a bad war. We should reject the talking points of those who cheered it on & want to drag us back into it. When you're in a hole, stop digging.

Today is a day to celebrate the strength, liberation, and freedom of Black Americans. It’s also a day to reflect on our country’s painful history of slavery. Today and every day, we must continue to build a more perfect, more equal, more just country. Happy Juneteenth, everyone!

Freedom delayed is still freedom worth honoring. Today we remember the enslaved Americans who waited more than two years to learn they were free, and the people who never stopped fighting to make that freedom real. Happy Juneteenth, Arizona!
