Trump doesn’t give a hoot about Americans who are struggling under the weight of his failing policies. Even if this war of choice is nearing its end, we’ll all be stuck paying for it for years to come.

This is good news – Donald Trump’s slush fund to pay out his billionaire buddies and rioters who beat up police officers was illegal and downright corrupt. This fight is far from over, and Democrats will keep working to permanently stop Trump and his allies from pocketing your tax dollars.

My office is tracking the Amtrak fire that caused disruption to commutes on NJ Transit and Amtrak this morning. I'm wishing a speedy recovery to all workers who were injured. We remain in touch with Amtrak and NJ Transit as they work to get trains back up and running again.

This week, I visited Rising Treetops, an amazing 15-acre facility that supports people with disabilities of all ages. I’m so proud of the work they’re doing and the support they’re providing, including to families and caregivers. We must continue to lift up places like Rising Treetops in NJ.

Trump promised lower costs, but every action he's taken has made life more expensive for you and your family.

AI was trained on generations of human knowledge and work. Now Big Tech is making billions from it. It’s time to tax AI and make sure the American people benefit from what they helped build.

Wisconsin is the cranberry capital of the world because of businesses like Wetherby Cranberry Marsh in Warrens. I toured the marsh and heard from the Wisconsinites who are carrying on our state's proud legacy.

Today I'm excited to announce my running mate for Lieutenant Governor: former Fergus Falls Mayor Ben Schierer. Ben hasn’t just talked about how to create opportunities in greater Minnesota – he’s actually done it.

Donald Trump’s slush fund is an illegal abuse of taxpayer dollars. Plain and simple. It’s baseless corruption and we're going to stop Tina Peters and Trump's allies from getting CO taxpayer money one way or another.

Of all Trump’s corrupt schemes, his insurrectionist slush fund is one of the most depraved. This ruling is an important win—but the fight is not over. We’ll keep fighting in the courts & in Congress to make sure this $2B giveaway to cop beaters, criminals & MAGA cronies never sees the light of day.

With average ACA premiums spiking and deductibles rising, it’s no surprise health care affordability remains a top concern across the country. By capping insulin at $35 a month, my INSULIN Act would lower costs for Americans living with diabetes. www.kff.org/affordable-c...

Sable Offshore and the Trump administration are working hand-in-hand to increase the risk of another devastating oil spill off California’s coast. I'm fighting their politicized efforts to circumvent state law and put profit first. Sable owes Californians answers to these serious questions:

We are in the middle of an affordability crisis, and Americans are struggling to afford basics like groceries but Trump's Treasury is busy illegally designing a $250 bill with his face on it. Let that sink in.

Yesterday, I joined Respiratory Health Association in Chicago to discuss recent actions by FDA that will unleash a new wave of youth e-cigarette addiction. More than 90% of kids who vape are doing so because of the sweet flavors. Big Tobacco, with this Admin’s blessing, are poisoning our kids.

Trump's DOJ is criminally investigating the woman he was found liable for sexually abusing. Just the latest example of him weaponizing the Department to pursue his personal vendettas. It's a slap in the face to survivors & a gross abuse of power. www.cnn.com/2026/05/27/p...

Great to visit the construction of new apartments in Manchester yesterday. As rents rise and the dream of homeownership becomes harder to reach, we need to build more housing that families can afford, and we need to do it fast.

35 federal judges appointed by presidents of both parties agree: Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund can't stand. There's a reason Blanche dodged my question when I asked if he'd get a judge to sign off on the fund. He knew no independent judge would allow this robbery of taxpayers.

Whoops! Earlier this week, while running down the stairs in a rush, I tripped and ended up breaking my ankle—I wouldn’t recommend it. 🙃 Next week, I’ll be back at the Capitol for votes and hearings and doing everything else I can to be a voice for Washington state in the Senate.

Beef? Buns? Pickles? Everything costs more this year. But when asked Donald Trump doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation.” Donald Trump ruins everything. Even National Hamburger Day.

It’s been eight years since Congress passed a Farm Bill, and the challenges California farmers are facing have only gotten bigger. I’m ready to fight for a bill that addresses the needs of both farmers and families in California and across the country. Read my Bakersfield Californian op-ed here:

“Public interest” is not a magic phrase that lets Brendan Carr threaten broadcasters into serving Trump’s interest. This notice is pages of empty text that does nothing to stop the Federal Censorship Commission.

From the war in Iran to historic funding cuts, food banks are being squeezed at every turn. These organizations do critical work. Yet rather than support them, this Administration cut taxes for our nation's wealthiest. That is unconscionable. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/u...

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Republicans’ “One Big Beautiful Bill” ripped nearly $1 trillion out of our healthcare system, putting vulnerable Americans at risk so billionaires could get more tax breaks. It’s cruel. And we will never stop fighting to reverse these devastating cuts.

Families in Oregon are being stretched to the limit from the gas pump to the grocery store. Democrats are focused on bringing down costs, while Trump is focused on taking nearly $2 billion of YOUR tax dollars for his "cash for cronies" slush fund.

It's just nonstop corruption from this White House, and Republicans in Congress are content to twiddle their thumbs and look right in the other direction. NEWSFLASH: Congress should be investigating and putting a stop to this kind of crooked self-dealing—not enabling it.

Even before the full force of Trump’s Medicaid cuts, almost 2 million kids lost Medicaid coverage this year. It’s only going to get worse. We need to move towards universal health care so we can stop these painful coverage gaps.
