Glad to have stopped by SVHEC in South Boston yesterday to talk with local education and business leaders. I was proud to secure over $751K to expand skills training at the center, and I’ll keep working to help all Virginia localities make the investments they need to attract talent.

Violence in the West Bank is out of control. I’m proud to join nearly all Senate Democrats in calling on the Israeli government to stop the construction of illegal settlements and rein in violence by settlers that has taken the lives of many Palestinians and nine Americans in the last four years.

Our troops deserve a Secretary of Defense who doesn’t just thank them for their service, but gives them a plan, a strategy and an endgame so they can safely return home to their families. Pete Hegseth is a failure.

Immigration arrests are at a record high, but this administration isn’t prioritizing going after violent criminals. The share of people ICE arrests with violent criminal records is falling. The agency is increasingly targeting people with legal ties to the U.S. This is not making communities safer.

More than half of the people Trump’s ICE is arresting have ZERO criminal history. Many are simply waiting on our backlogged immigration system. What happened to going after the worst of the worst? ICE needs a top to bottom overhaul.

WOW. According to a new report, Delawareans are spending $3,300 more on average thanks to the Trump administration. I'm fighting to bring down costs for folks working hard just to make it by. It's time for Republicans in Washington to join me.

A pleasure to join the American Bar Association for a fireside chat to reflect on my work in the Senate Judiciary Committee. From passing the bipartisan First Step Act to confirming a record 235 lifetime federal judges during the Biden Admin, I'm honored to have led this Committee

Republicans have acknowledged that tariffs are hurting farmers and small business owners, and raising prices on families. This is a time for courage. I urge my Senate colleagues to protect their constituents and stand up to Trump.

The DOJ wants to shield Trump’s communications with others from Congressional oversight. Why? To insulate Trump and his corrupt acts from any accountability if the majority changes. I'm leading an effort to stop this latest abuse of power. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/...

President Trump made $2.4 billion in personal income last year while at the same time kicking 1.5 million children off food assistance. The presidency is supposed to be about helping working families, not enriching yourself.

Big defense contractors take taxpayer dollars, then spend billions buying back their own stock. Meanwhile, our national security gets shortchanged. Their own numbers show they can cut back. I’ve got a bipartisan bill to stop this kind of corporate greed.

Proud to tour Trenton with Salvation and Social Justice. From the Food Pantry serving hundreds each month, to their upcoming Birthing Center tackling maternal health deserts, to the new Restorative Justice Hub where Street Teams mentor our youth.

Happy Healthcare Day of Action! I believe that everyone deserves healthcare, and that it's especially important for our younger and aging generations. That’s why I introduced MediKids, universal healthcare for children. No child should go without the care they need.

Trump is a narcissist who, if he can't have his name on the Kennedy Center, wants to destroy it. It's a metaphor for his presidency: if Trump doesn't get his way, the American people pay. The Kennedy Center & every monument in America belong to the people. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Great Minnesota Get-Together is here! The State Fair is one of our best traditions – bringing Minnesotans together to celebrate the people, food, agriculture, and traditions that make our state special. And for years, I’ve been at the gates to kick off Opening Day.

Minnesotans feel the effects of Trump’s across-the-board tariffs every single day. But my opponent calls them “effective.” The last thing Minnesota needs is a rubber stamp of Donald Trump in the governor’s office.

106 years ago, the 19th Amendment was certified, giving women the right to vote after decades of organizing, protest, and sacrifice. Voting is one of our most basic rights, and we can’t take it for granted. Every generation has to show up and protect it.

Meta has known for years that its products have addictive design features that harm kids. Today’s settlement finally holds the company accountable for its actions by requiring Meta to adopt major changes to make Facebook and Instagram safer for kids online. (1/3)

Always great to be at IALR in Danville, where incredible strides are made in research, workforce training, and innovative defense manufacturing. I’ve supported IALR since I was Governor and look forward to continuing to work together to boost our economy and national security.

Tariffs are a tax on working families. Trump’s reckless agenda is making everyday goods more expensive. Enough is enough. abcnews.com/Business/tar...

Notebooks, lunchboxes, and other back-to-school essentials are over 20% more expensive this year than they were last year. Thanks to President Trump, higher prices are making an already expensive time of year even harder for families.

One of the best parts of my job? Stopping at the best small businesses across Virginia — today for a cheeseburger & ice cream cone at Hob-Nob in Gate City. We led the whole restaurant in a big happy birthday song for a 104-year-old resident. I love the warmth and spirit of SWVA.

Today’s settlement sends a clear message: Big Tech must put kids’ well-being first. However, we cannot rely on court cases alone. Congress must also pass strong legislation including COPPA 2.0, which would update my original COPPA law, and my Youth AI Privacy Act to protect kids in this digital age.

My message to Trump: hands off our public lands. Without the Roadless Rule, 2 million acres of forest in WA state alone will be unprotected and up for grabs to Trump's highest bidder. This is outrageous, and I will do everything I can to fight back.

Canada is our neighbor, friend, and a vital partner. Trump’s lack of leadership has turned that friendship into a trade war — and New Hampshire businesses are losing customers because of it. apnews.com/live/trump-e...

Tomorrow is the grand opening of the Minnesota State Fair, and it also marks 365 days since the lives of Annunciation School families were irrevocably broken by gun violence. I think about the Annunciation School community all the time.

Our region has long needed a DEA lab to go after drug dealers and combat substance misuse. It was great to join officials from across the region to celebrate the opening of our new DEA forensic lab, a critical project I was proud to secure $50 million to support.

I was glad to visit with PATHS leaders, providers, and patients in Danville yesterday to talk about the need to protect Medicaid and my bipartisan bill to strengthen the 340B program, which PATHS and so many other rural providers rely on to buy discounted medications.

By handing out massive tax breaks to the richest Americans, President Trump has blown a hole in our deficit and added trillions to the national debt. Instead of investing in the middle class, the President has prioritized the ultra-wealthy and put the economic security of our children at risk.

36% of American households carry medical debt. Americans owe over $200 billion in medical debt. As many as 550,000 file for bankruptcy each year because of it. It’s time to make healthcare more affordable, transparent, and accessible. No one should go into debt just to get care they need.

As housing costs soar, Trump wants to eliminate legal protections for Americans who are unfairly denied a lease or a mortgage because of their disability, the color of their skin, or their kids. Today a court blocked one part of his attack on civil rights. Stay in the fight.

Diesel prices are nearing record highs, up more than 50% from a year ago. That means higher costs for farmers, small businesses, truckers, and American families. Trump’s war of choice is devastating our economy – and working Americans are paying the price.

Today, I attended a "mega master" immigration court hearing in Chicago—the latest ploy in Trump's cruel deportation campaign that has sown fear into our communities & derailed due process. The cruelty this Admin has inflicted on immigrants, especially children, is unfathomable.

106 years ago, generations of women organized, protested, and demanded the right to vote. The 19th Amendment was a victory, but not the finish line. On Women’s Equality Day, we honor that legacy by fighting for a country where every woman can thrive, and every voice can be heard.

106 years ago, the 19th Amendment was ratified, giving women the right to vote. That right wasn't freely given— it was earned in years of struggle. This Women's Equality Day, we reflect on that fight as we work to defend every American's right to make their voice heard.

Republicans want to build a commission so they can sneak in benefit cuts without taking responsibility for them. They have no legislation; Democrats do. We could fix Social Security now, but Republicans want to pretend cuts are presented by a “commission.”
