We build the next generation of leaders by providing young people with opportunity. That's why I support programs like the State Department’s Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange. It was great to meet with two NM students who completed the program and hear about their experience.

This #Juneteenth I’m thinking of Ona Judge, who fled to New Hampshire 230 years ago after being enslaved at Mount Vernon. Her story embodies the Live Free or Die spirit and serves as a powerful reminder that the work of equality remains unfinished. www.wmur.com/article/mura...

Trump tore up Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran, started an illegal and foolish war, and then signed a much less effective agreement. So much for ‘the art of the deal.’

Today, on Juneteenth, America marks the end of slavery. It was a real and dark part of our history. But Trump wants to rewrite that history and even honor Confederate traitors. It's a disgrace. America is stronger when we confront our history and work to be better.

Juneteenth marks the day that the last slaves in the United States were freed. Today, we remember the struggles and hard-won fights of previous generations against racism, bigotry, and injustice. We must also recognize the significant work that remains in the fight for equality.

Very revealing. Republican senators who were AWOL regarding their constitutional duties around STARTING the war against Iran all of a sudden demand that Congress play a role in STOPPING the war. A whole lot of warmongering going on.

Trump wants you to pay $80 BILLION for his failed Iran war. Republicans in Congress made health care more expensive for millions of Americans, but somehow there is always money for war halfway around the world. It’s outrageous.

This year, Juneteenth falls 7 weeks after SCOTUS gutted the VRA, unwinding decades of progress & undoing a key pillar of the fight for equality. While Republicans are doing all they can to turn back the clock, Juneteenth reminds us that we must never rest in the pursuit of justice.

Today is Juneteenth, when we recognize the day Union soldiers entered Galveston, Texas, to notify slaves of their freedom, two whole years after the Emancipation Proclamation, on June 19, 1865. On Juneteenth, we celebrate and honor the day that turned the page on the horrible chapter of slavery.

Trump is touting a "deal" that promises to lift all sanctions, allow Iran to export oil and potentially charge tolls, and hand over more than 300 billion dollars to that country. How bad is the deal? It looks more like a surrender. I explain all the reasons why: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qr5...

Over the past year and a half I’ve heard from countless members of the disability community who feel targeted by this administration. They’ve seen their healthcare taken away through massive cuts to Medicaid, and now this opinion threatens to strip away their civil and human rights. 1/2

Today, the President awarded Second Lieutenant Nicholas Dockery of Virginia the Medal of Honor for his courage in Afghanistan. 14 years ago, 2nd Lt. Dockery bravely risked life to protect his unit from a vicious Taliban attack. His heroism is an inspiration to us all.

NEWS: I’m calling on the FAA to reject any pressure to rubberstamp Trump’s “Triumphal Arch.” The safety of the flying public should not be jeopardized for a vanity project designed to stroke the President’s ego.

One of the largest clean energy projects in U.S. history is now online–and it’s a milestone more than 18 years in the making. I’ve been fighting for it since I first came to Congress because I knew what it would mean for our energy future and New Mexico’s role in leading it.

This is huge. For months, I have been working to stop the construction of a massive 10,000-person ICE facility in Social Circle, Georgia. We just learned DHS is cancelling it. The power of the people is always more powerful than the people in power.

Trump let DACA renewal wait times balloon 360%, putting their families and livelihoods at risk. I’m leading the charge with @neguse.house.gov to demand the Trump Administration immediately expedite DACA renewals for every Coloradan in this absurd backlog.

Trump's lawless ICE operation spent $700 MILLION of your tax dollars on 7 warehouses they’re now trying to get rid of. Not only is this ICE operation draconian & inhumane, it's an abuse of taxpayer dollars, paid for by their cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It's twisted.
