I welcome the urgency. But the answer is not a weak federal standard that becomes a backdoor for wiping out stronger state protections. (2/3)

Republicans are suddenly waking up to the urgent need for tough AI safety rules, a sharp reversal from last year when House Republicans and Chairman Cruz tried to impose a 10-year moratorium on state AI regulations that the tech bros wanted. (1/3)

This morning in Glen Allen, I attended the annual Sovereign Nations of Virginia Conference to discuss the integral role of our tribes to the history, culture, and economy of Virginia. I'll keep working to advance their priorities and make sure all indigenous Virginians have a voice in DC.

The only conceivable reason for ICE to be at polling places is to spread the same fear and intimidation we’ve already seen in our communities. Every eligible American should be able to cast their ballot freely and safely. We’ll keep fighting tooth and nail to protect that sacred right.

Pete Hegseth blusters about meritocracy while demolishing our military’s merit-based promotion system. He wouldn’t know merit if it looked him in the eye. Our officers deserve clarity and due process when Hegseth caps their careers. Let’s require it by law. www.military.com/exclusive-se...

Congressional Republicans need to stand up to the president and do their part to give families and businesses on both sides of the border relief from this insanity.

While American families and businesses suffer from Trump’s trade wars, partners around the world, including Canada, are increasingly looking to diversify away from the United States and deepen trade ties with other countries including China.

President Trump’s tariffs have already cost American families as much as $5,000 in some states, and his senseless trade war with Canada will only grow that number.

They will raise the cost of the lumber, plywood, and construction equipment we need to build new housing. They will hurt our workers and businesses who manufacture autos, aircraft, and machinery. They will drive up the prices consumers pay for everyday basics like milk, clothing, and paper products.

Instead of working with our neighbors, President Trump is doubling down on a pointless trade war with Canada. His tariffs will squeeze our states’ small businesses harder and drive costs up for working families.

We have built two powerful nations over many decades by working together, growing our economies together, and securing our homelands together. Our countries have achieved great things by working closely together, and we still can.

The states we represent rely on Canada as a key trading partner and our primary export market. We have deep ties with our neighbors to the north, and we share one of the world’s most enduring defense partnerships.

The deadliest day of President Trump’s Iran war was more than six months ago, but the families of these fallen servicemembers have been left in the dark about what really happened. These families and the American public need answers, now.

Yet another gimmick from the president who called the affordability crisis a 'hoax.' Trump is driving up interest rates & this temporary band-aid isn't near enough. If Trump really cared about affordability, he'd end his tariff taxes & his illegal war of choice in Iran.

$500? A complete slap in the face to hardworking Americans this administration has betrayed time and time again. A mere 1.6% of the cost of a 3-day hospital stay. Truly insulting. If Donald Trump wanted to lower health care costs, he’d sit down with Democrats and restart the ACA tax credits.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and the Trump Administration are continuing to use their power to censor content they don't like, and we know that it won't stop with Jimmy Kimmel — an attack on anyone's right to speak without government interference is an attack on all of us.

The government threatening networks just because it doesn't like what the opposition says is what we expect in dictatorships like Russia, Iran, and North Korea, not the United States of America.

It was an honor to provide the keynote at the @nmsu.edu Domenici Public Policy Conference. Senator Domenici showed that bipartisanship isn’t about agreeing on everything. It’s about finding common ground and getting things done for folks at home. That’s the NM tradition I’m proud to carry forward.

Maybe President Trump doesn't realize this, but Republicans ALREADY control the House & Senate! So there's NO reason why he can't deliver on this $5k dividend and that health care plan he's been talking about for over a decade RIGHT NOW! But of course this is yet another grift.

Imran Ahmed founded the Center for Countering Digital Hate to hold Big Tech accountable by studying & exposing online hate and uncovering AI chat bots that threaten kids. Now the Trump admin is threatening to detain & deport him for his work. This cannot stand.

Nice try, but if you run up huge deficits by exempting big corporations and billionaires from taxes, markets will react. People collectively worth trillions, and corporations worth tens of trillions, and corrupt Trump, pay virtually no taxes.

Trump claims that his illegal and unwinnable Iran war will end right after the midterm elections. He’s lying. His own advisors know better. This war of choice will drag on until Trump leaves office unless Congress cuts off funding. We cannot wait two more years to end this disaster.

Your hard work still pays off, it’s just paying off for someone else. Billionaires and big corporations are doing better than ever, while working Americans are only scraping by. Turning this country around starts with putting workers first.

Child care in Illinois costs as much as $1,633 a month. Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, he’s attacking Head Start and making life harder for middle-class families. Enough. It’s past time we had universal child care in America.

Trump's health care cuts have been devastating – raising prices and tossing people off of their health insurance. As Governor, I'll reduce health insurance premiums and make lower cost drugs available. We’ve got to lower health care costs. And I’m up for the fight. ⬇️

"25 years later, what I remember most is the panic. People were fleeing lower Manhattan in boats and water taxies and any way they could flee to come to safety. To come here to Jersey City. They were covered in dust and dirt and fearing for their lives. And our people were here to help them."

“I thought I was going to die that day. On 9/11, I responded to Lower Manhattan. We were at the edge of the rubble pile, things were burning, and there was no light. But in that very moment, I had to shake that fear of death off because people depended on me. I find my solace in helping people."

I’m leading the NM Congressional Delegation in calling on Apple and Google to keep New Mexico as New Mexico on their maps. President Trump has no legal authority to rename our state. New Mexico’s name belongs to our people – not the president. The companies have until Sept 18 to publicly commit.
