Our military knows the law and their duty to push back against illegal orders. Especially as the President suggests he wants the U.S. to obliterate an entire civilization.

At the State Department, I saw first-hand how our Afghan partners risked their lives to assist the United States and protect our servicemembers. It is cruel and shameful that this administration would send these nationals to a country they’ve never been to where their safety is not guaranteed.

The regime cut HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of dollars for Minority-Serving Institutions. That’s funding Congress approved to support the next generation of students to ensure a brighter future. They don’t think anyone’s paying attention. We can’t let them get away with it: youtube.com/live/09l0BVz...

This Earth Day, I’m taking action to clean up and protect Narragansett Bay and our Southern New England coastal waters. I introduced the SNEP Authorization Act to provide $150 million over 5 years to safeguard waterways and ecosystems that contribute billions to our economy.

Trump gutting the U.S. Forest Service puts communities in Arizona and across the country at risk — the Forest Service plays an essential role in preventing wildfires. I supported legislation last year to restore staffing so our forests stay accessible, safe, and maintained.

SOON: I'm going to question Sec. Kennedy on the conspiracy theories he's been peddling from his position as the most senior public health official in America. He must answer for the damage he's done to erode public trust and public health — on behalf of families all across Colorado.

Sweetheart contracts, deep-sixed investigations, rigged regulations—& more—are among the reasons donors want to hide.

Republicans can just bring in Jack Smith—and ask their questions. They’ll hear for themselves. Donald Trump’s desperate efforts to *overturn an election* merited investigation.

I introduced the bipartisan Hemp Safety Enforcement Act with Sen. Rand Paul to protect Minnesota’s hemp industry. A one-size-fits-all federal ban would hurt farmers, brewers, and small businesses. Our bill lets states regulate safely while protecting consumers and jobs.

Last week, I spoke to student reporters from colleges across our state about Republican attacks on voting rights in NH and at the federal level. Now more than ever, it’s critical we ensure these students have the information and resources they need to be prepared at the ballot box this fall.

In addition to Trump's war with Iran, he has all but declared war on lifesaving medical research. I'll keep fighting to protect funding to cure cancer and so much more, but we need an administration that isn't actively trying to sabotage things like Alzheimer's research.

Budgets are values, and Congressional Republicans want to give another blank check to ICE. That is money that could fund 200,000 local law enforcement officers for three years or extend the health care premium tax credits for two years.

The intimidation is the point, and Michiganders will not be intimidated out of free and fair elections. This request for Wayne County's 2020 ballots is based on discredited allegations. It's another attempt by President Trump to cast doubt on our elections before the midterms.

Among all Trump’s immigration cruelties, this one would be especially hideous. Afghan allies who protected our troops were promised safety if America left. Now America is abandoning them & breaking its promise. Pass our Afghan Adjustment Act immediately.

By going after the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Trump administration has dramatically escalated its attack on civil rights organizations and its defense of white supremacists. These intimidation tactics won't succeed.

Trump sees a “threat” and goes after it with any lever of power he can grasp. It’s the same story time and time again. But the “threat” that Trump sees is an organization that’s been at the forefront of the fight for a more equal and just society.

Health care delayed is health care denied. Unconscionable & unacceptable, staffing cuts at the VA are resulting in reduced access to health care. Advocacy by @commondefense.bsky.social is elevating this cause & providing a voice to veterans across the country.

Donald Trump dodged the draft to fight in Vietnam but he's sure he would've done a better job. This kind of arrogance is exactly how America keeps getting stuck in long, bloody wars. We need real leadership and a plan and a goal to end this war in Iran, and he has none of it.

Federal Reserve Chair nominee Kevin Warsh proved his groveling subservience to Trump—parroting judicial nominees in evading questions on who won the 2020 elections & numerous other issues. Independence is indispensable in this job. His lack of it is disqualifying.

Instead of fighting to lower costs, Republicans are fighting to give ICE and Border Patrol another $70 billion. Which makes these agencies better funded than the FBI, DEA, ATF and all of the other federal law enforcement agencies — combined.

Kevin Warsh told me he was "independent" and a "tough guy." So I asked him to name just one aspect of President Trump's economic agenda that he disagrees with. You'll never believe what he said.

Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is. The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.

Trump Admin’s short-sighted policies are driving up costs for energy, health care, & more. I just delivered nearly $27M in LIHEAP aid to help RIers afford their home energy bills & will continue to block Trump’s efforts to eliminate this critical program.

Rock Island Arsenal is a pillar of the region and a center of innovation. But the Army executed significant personnel changes at the Arsenal without consulting Congress. I joined @duckworth.senate.gov, Senator Grassley, & @ericsorensen.bsky.social to demand answers from the Army about this shift.

President Trump's war of choice has now wounded nearly 400 American servicemembers without clear goals or an endgame. This is a disgusting betrayal of our troops' trust and safety.
