It was great to be with @uaw.org members at Region 1-D Summer School at Black Lake this week. The UAW center here has a special and storied place in our history, dating back to 1970, where folks could gather, train, and bring their families — all to strengthen solidarity.

I'm calling Republicans' bluff on whether they ACTUALLY support IVF like they claim to.

Kicked off the day yesterday with @bobbyscott.house.gov in Newport News at a roundtable on special education. We heard from parents, educators, and advocates about the challenges facing students with disabilities and discussed the need to fully fund IDEA and protect special ed programs.

Secretary Hegseth owes Congress, our servicemembers, and their families answers about the conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. Eight months at sea without a port call is completely unacceptable.

I spoke with Mayor Baraka about the important partnership between our offices and the priorities we share. 1️⃣ Closing down for-profit detention centers like Delaney Hall 2️⃣ Expanding access to affordable housing 3️⃣ Guaranteeing healthcare coverage for all children 1/2

First Liam Conejo Ramos. Now Liam Tadeo. How many five-year-old boys need to be taken by ICE before Republicans will admit to the cruelty of this mass deportation campaign? Where is our humanity? How can we justify putting a five-year-old through this?

Sputtering & spiraling under the weight of a war that’s achieving none of its goals and tanking the global economy, Donald Trump is increasingly lashing out at our allies. Under his leadership, America is more isolated and less prepared for the next generation of threats.

The Trump admin is turning the Small Business Administration into the Big Business Administration. This rule would decimate opportunities for actual small businesses by opening the door to federal resources for billion dollar companies. This admin must end its war on Main Street.

During this year’s Tahoe Summit, we were joined by community and government partners providing resources and information on how to best protect and restore the Lake Tahoe Basin. We wouldn’t be here today without the hard work of these partners and everything they do to keep this region flourishing.

Arizona’s future is bright because battle-tested fighters like Katie Hobbs and @joannamendoza.com continue stepping up — and they’re not doing it alone. We’re gonna have their back by making calls and knocking doors so we can win this November.

Trump’s war in Iran has been one blunder after another & Americans are paying the price. This war has now taken the lives of 18 US service members & left over 700 wounded. Here at home, costs are rising from the gas station to the grocery store. It’s past time to END THIS WAR.

Trump, his family, and his billionaire cronies are all getting richer, directly profiting from the higher costs your family is fronting every day. In case you had any doubt, Trump is the most corrupt president this country’s ever known.

The parents I know already have a lot to juggle. Now, they're adding more expensive back-to-school supplies to the list. We should be able to set kids up to succeed whether it's with a notebook or annual checkup. It doesn't have to be this hard.

Trump has made attacking the free press a hallmark of his presidency, from shaming reporters in the Oval Office to using the DOJ to go after journalists and their sources. We should all be alarmed by his escalating attacks on one of the foundations of our democracy.

REMINDER: The single biggest driver of our national debt for the last 25 YEARS have been Republican-led tax cuts.

In cities, towns and rural communities alike, I hear the same thing: the dire need for affordable childcare. Parents can’t start jobs because there’s no one to watch the kids. Businesses can’t expand because there’s no one to fill the jobs.

Last October, I held the Senate floor for more than 22 hours to protest Trump’s authoritarianism. Ringing the alarm bells isn’t enough – we need to pass my comprehensive For Our Republic Act to stop the strongman state.

It turns out many of the top brokerage firms are leaving your life savings vulnerable to theft because they’ve failed to adopt bare minimum cybersecurity measures. @warren.senate.gov and I are pushing them to strengthen their cybersecurity standards and protect your hard earned money.

Americans with workplace coverage have spent an average of $388 more on healthcare this year than in 2025. U.S. employers expect healthcare costs to climb >11% next year. Congress must pass our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act to put us on a path to universal coverage. www.wsj.com/health/healt...

Trump’s cronies are cutting deals left and right for themselves & their families, but when it comes to negotiating an end to this disastrous war, they’re clueless. Once again this corrupt Administration is lining their own pockets while Americans face the costs at home.

Farmers and ranchers need options. They need choices. They need more than just whatever the four big corporations that control meat processing in this country offer. That’s why the new Farmers Union Processing and Meats facility in Staples matters.

The President bungled this war in Iran right from the beginning. Six months later, he's stuck, families are suffering, and 18 Americans are dead. November is our chance to send a message to him, and everyone around him, that they're doing a horrible job.
