Congress passed the ROAD to Housing bill to bring real relief to families struggling to find a home they can afford. Today I visited Keene’s Marlboro Street project—it's exactly the kind of affordable housing site that will see increased support thanks to this new housing law.

We toured Timberline Fire Station in Black Hawk, where we secured $1M in CDS funds to help with the renovation. Investing in our first responders means our communities and public lands are better protected from wildfires and other emergencies.

Gas above $4/gal. National debt at $40 trillion. Another endless war in the Middle East. The FDA gutted and foods being recalled every day. And this is what Donald Trump is focused on.

The AME Church has been a pillar of faith, service, and community across Michigan. Holding the historic 140th Session of the Michigan Annual Conference in Pontiac — home to Newman AME, Oakland County’s first Black church — made it especially meaningful.

Servicemembers aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln were set to come home in May. They've been at sea for 272 days with no port visits, and the reported conditions on board are nothing short of harrowing. They now face a weeks-long journey home. 1/2

It’s simple: when we invest in our public schools, we set our students up for success. Let's build on those investments by passing my Green New Deal for Public Schools to support the schools of the future. Kudos to the hard work of MA teachers, families, and communities!

Millions of Americans lost their health care last year because of Trump’s cuts. That’s going to skyrocket further when his Medicaid cuts go into place next year. His policies are leaving millions sicker and poorer.

Targeting families seeking care at a health clinic and arresting them in the parking lot is sickening. These reckless thugs have no place in our communities. Families shouldn’t have to fear that getting medical care for their child could put their family at risk.

Gas. Health care. Groceries. Nearly everything Americans need costs more under President Trump. In New Hampshire, the average family has already paid $4,400 more. Trump promised lower costs. Families got bigger bills.

Trump is fighting tooth and nail for his ballroom, but still hasn't done a thing to lower your healthcare costs or fix the healthcare crisis he created. He'd rather plan parties for billionaires than help working Americans.

As Prince George’s County Executive, I fought to bring the FBI headquarters to Maryland, and I’m continuing that fight as a U.S. Senator. Greenbelt, Maryland was selected after a years-long competitive process and the court has made it clear that Trump can’t just toss that work aside.

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. bragged about their gutting of the federal government – including the FDA. It's their entire philosophy. The result? DEADLY BLUEBERRIES, the most recent in a string of food recalls that are endangering the health of millions of Americans.

The top 1% of Americans now hold about as much wealth as the middle class. That's not the sign of a strong economy, it’s an economy that's stopped working for most people. Middle class and working families built this country. It needs to start working for them too.

Federal inspectors general should be investigating waste, fraud & corruption in Trump’s vanity boondoggles, national security contracts for friends & family members, pay-to-play justice, chaos at the VA and so much more. But he’s installed lapdogs—not watchdogs—in those key jobs.

I’m fighting for the foundations families need to thrive: health care, housing, education, and good-paying jobs. Folks are fed up with the GOP's 'Families Lose, Billionaires Win' agenda. Let's work to build a vision where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.

It’s vital that health care providers in our communities have the most up-to-date medical equipment and facilities. I was glad to secure federal funding for Southern New Hampshire Health to get a new PET/CT scanner so that the hospital can better serve patients.

Pete Hegseth is stripping women’s roles in the military and stalling women servicemembers’ promotions. He is completely detached from reality. I helped introduce legislation to make it clear: servicemembers should be evaluated on merit-based standards, not their gender.

Cuyuna Regional Medical Center (CRMC) is a 25-bed hospital in Crosby with clinics across north-central Minnesota. Patients can access primary and specialty care without having to trek to a big city, and it’s a perfect example of the kind of facility that Minnesotans rely on to stay healthy.

The national debt has now surpassed $40 trillion. This isn't an abstract issue; higher debt means you pay more on things like mortgages and car loans. Presidents of both parties have added to the debt. This has to be a bipartisan issue that we work on together.
- RD
$40 trillion. For a President & a Republican Party who have railed for years against the debt, it’s ironic that America is deeper than ever in the red under their leadership. From Trump’s billionaire tax cuts to his war with Iran, it’s clear fiscal responsibility is the last thing on his mind.
