NEW: I’m introducing a bill to ban cell phones in the classroom. Technology is an important part of our kids’ lives, and it’s not going away. But we can’t let it get in the way of their learning. Let's get it done.

Saw a wonderful production of Macbeth at the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival last night. Fabulous performances and a stellar cast. It was a treat to meet them after the show. And what an amazing venue, right on the Lake. Only a few nights left — don’t miss it!

In 1965, CEOs were paid 21 times as much as a typical worker. Today, that number has spiked to 281. The system is rigged and it's time we level the playing field.

Happy National Patient Advocacy Day! As a father and a caregiver, I know hard it can be for both patients and families to find care. Everyone should have access to care. The only thing people should have to worry about when they’re injured or sick is getting better.

The uniformed military shouldn't be deployed to interfere in our elections. Period. The nonpartisan tradition of military service and the constitutional guardrails that prevent our military from becoming a domestic police force for one political party are essential to maintaining our democracy.

Reaching a deal to delay the 50% tariffs on Canada is good, but know what's better? Not threatening our closest ally with these idiotic policies that drive up YOUR costs just because Trump wants to feel like a big man. Way past time to permanently BLOCK these tariffs.

Four years ago today, Amber Thurman died because politicians put politics over the health of Georgia mothers. Amber’s death was preventable. This anniversary is a painful reminder that abortion bans have fatal consequences. May her memory be a blessing.

Trump is trying to dismantle Head Start, which gives over 10,000 kids in Massachusetts a strong foundation for success in school. Gutting class size and safety requirements and banning non-English education would undermine Head Start. Every kid deserves a fair shot, no matter their zip code.

Trump doesn't want you to vote by mail, but he does it himself all the time. If it's okay for Trump, why isn't it okay for working Americans? It’s simple: Trump just wants to make it harder for you to vote.

ICE must be held to the same standard as our local law enforcement. Unfortunately, DHS has not shared any corrective actions that have been taken related to the killings of Mr. Pretti and Ms. Good. Instead, we have seen the agency double down on violent tactics from Maine to Texas.

Repealing the Roadless Rule is a generational mistake that will change the wild character of our national forests forever. Despite every attempt by the Trump administration, Americans have been clear: our public lands are not for sale, and our national forests should remain wild.

Trump’s illegal war of choice is hitting Illinois farmers where it hurts. Planting diesel costs have skyrocketed 79.2%. And the more expensive it is to grow our food, the more expensive our groceries will be next season. Farmers and families shouldn’t have to foot the bill for Trump’s failures.

Opening Camp Grayling to collaborate with private industry means manufacturers, startups, and engineers – of all sizes — will get a direct line to the Army.

This conduct by ICE is unconscionable. ICE should know they cannot enter private property without a judicial warrant. Instead of complying with the law, ICE agents chose to threaten violence against a law firm because of whom they represent. We intend to investigate this incident.

It was wonderful to visit the newly renovated Gale School for the first time since it opened its doors earlier this summer. I was proud to secure federal funding to help update the historic school house to increase access to child care in the Belmont community.

I am aware of the ICE raid in Newburyport and condemn any violent action by Trump’s ICE thugs. There must be a thorough investigation and we must put an end to ICE’s reign of terror. Abolish ICE now.

Trump’s zeroing out teen pregnancy prevention programs is cruel & stupid—after clear data showing how well they work. This reckless, reprehensible step threatens dramatic progress made.

Instead of lowering costs for families, Trump is weaponizing the government to punish Americans he considers enemies. There needs to be an immediate investigation into how federal resources were used to orchestrate a campaign of retribution against Coloradans. www.denverpost.com/2026/08/17/c...

Due to rising prices and Republicans’ decision to cut SNAP funding, families are struggling to put food on the table. I held a roundtable with organizations on the frontlines of this crisis to discuss how we can stand up to policies in Washington that will hurt Granite Staters.

Your healthcare data should be private – not used to support Trump’s mass deportation campaign. HHS unlawfully handed ICE private Medicaid data not once, not twice, but three times. I am demanding with my Senate colleagues that this stops now.

From food and water shortages to mental health crises and more, the reported conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln are absolutely unacceptable. Our servicemembers deserve so much better. I'm demanding answers and accountability from Secretary Hegseth.

The American wilderness is one of our greatest natural treasures. Now Trump wants to open it up to his development buddies. As Joni Mitchell would say: they’re trying to pave paradise to put up a parking lot.

Rules for thee, not for me. Trump knows mail-in voting is safe, secure, and convenient. He just wants to make it harder for YOU to vote.

Trump slapped tariffs on produce, and his war of choice with Iran has raised the cost of fertilizer for our farmers and growers. Now, grocery costs are driving American families into debt because of Trump's disastrous policies.

There is no get-rich-quick scheme Trump won't try. The latest? Selling early access to his posts on Truth Social. If this sounds like BLATANT CORRUPTION—that’s because IT IS. We cannot let this crooked money grab go unanswered. I will push for accountability.

Greenbelt, Maryland was selected as the new FBI headquarters after a decades-long, fair, competitive process and the Trump Admin had no right to override it. The court agreed. Team Maryland will keep fighting to bring the FBI’s new headquarters to Maryland.
