Meta wants to quietly roll out facial recognition technology in its smart glasses, hoping Americans won’t notice the potential risk to their privacy and civil rights. They’re mistaken. I have serious questions about the privacy risks and ethics of deploying this technology.

This is a real problem. People already stretched thin can’t afford higher gas prices. Arizonans need real relief and I'm pushing this administration to make sure it happens.

This war isn’t being paid for by the people who started it. It’s hardworking Americans who are already paying more at the pump, the grocery store, and for health care.

President Trump fired a majority of the Kennedy Center board. He fired a majority of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. He fired the entire Commission of Fine Arts. He's trying to purge independent experts from the government and replace them with his cronies.

Tonight, my colleagues and I said goodbye to Australian Ambassador to the U.S. Kevin Rudd, who is stepping down from his position at the end of the month. Rudd has been an indispensable partner in strengthening the longstanding ties between our two nations, and he will be missed on the Hill.

Right now, billionaires can pay less in taxes on their stock trades than teachers or nurses that educate our children and care for us in emergencies. My Equal Tax Act would stop rewarding wealth more than work by making the ultra-wealthy pay taxes like millions of working people.

Last summer, Trump laid off 1,300 State Department workers, including many of the agency's oil and gas experts. Would Americans be paying less at the pump if those who were supposed to have oversight of the Strait of Hormuz were still on the payroll?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all celebrating in Massachusetts and beyond! Today we honor the rich Irish heritage that helped shape our Commonwealth and continues to strengthen our communities.

Our elections are FAIR & FREE. The only fraud is Trump and Republicans pushing this sham voter suppression bill because they broke their promises to the American people and are scared of the consequences.

Trump is trying to block Americans from voting this November because he knows his destructive policies are hurting working people.

Polluters, and freeloaders too — to the tune of a trillion dollars. How much political corruption protects that grift?

The Trump Admin said it loud and clear – they could not care less about Americans’ concerns about high gas prices.

Senate Republicans just rushed to confirm Anna St. John, a partisan judicial nominee with serious impartiality concerns. She even testified against our bipartisan bill to end forced arbitration in the workplace and allow sexual harassment and assault victims their day in court. Shameful.

Just… wow. Gas prices are spiking, rising fertilizer costs are crushing farmers, and Team Trump just admitted that you’re the last of their concerns. So much for affordability.

Paramilitary forces are occupying our cities due to President Trump’s mass deportation campaign. It’s terrorizing children—and it’s destroying families. It needs to end.

Electric bills are skyrocketing, and families are paying the price. President Trump’s policies and his war with Iran are driving up costs, and when asked about it, he said, “If prices rise, they rise.” He’s putting Americans last and making them pay the price.

Again and again, Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard while we negotiate on ICE and Border Patrol. Republicans have blocked us every time.

Trump is already waging a deeply unpopular war against Iran. Now, Trump says he thinks he can have “the honor of taking Cuba.” We need to focus on helping Americans and lowering costs, not inciting a new global conflict every month.

Rather than saving America from being dragged into a forever war, Senate Republicans would rather focus on their so-called SAVE America Act. Here's how dangerous this voter suppression bill would be for your right to vote:

Gas prices are increasing. Health care premiums have skyrocketed. Electricity bills are up. Groceries are more expensive. And instead of focusing on how to bring down costs, Trump is flippantly suggesting that he might use your taxpayer dollars and risk servicemember lives to TAKE OVER CUBA.

The SAVE Act does one thing: make voting harder. More paperwork, more costs, and more people wrongly kicked off the rolls. This is not election integrity — it's voter suppression. That's why I'm a NO.

Launching a new war. Ripping health care away from millions. Unleashing terror on our streets. This President feels his support collapsing. That’s why he is so desperate to suppress the vote.

Americans already struggling with rising costs are now facing higher gasoline prices. Meanwhile, this Administration hasn’t made the case for this war or laid out a strategic path forward. This is not leadership.

Along with Governor Katie Hobbs it was a pleasure to meet with Arizona business leaders to make sure our voices are heard during the USMCA review. During this review, we must fight to keep China from cheating its way into the North American market and harming American businesses and workers.

Seriously? The Trump admin just admitted they know extending this illegal war will drive up costs and hurt hardworking families trying to make ends meet, and still said that’s “the last of their concerns.” Their actions have made it clear: helping American families isn’t their priority.

AI is going to shape the future of America’s national security, and we must win the AI race against China. But to do that, we need action that puts limits on AI in the Department of Defense. This is just common sense.
- ES
Congress is behind in putting left and right limits on the use of AI at the Pentagon. My bill ensures a human is involved when deadly autonomous weapons are fired, AI cannot be used to spy on the American people, and that a human is on the switch to launch nuclear weapons.

Trump’s decision to dismantle NCAR is not about anything other than retribution against Colorado for refusing to capitulate to the President’s political agenda.

Trump was completely unprepared for the war against Iran that HE started. Six months ago, the Trump Administration DOGE’d its global oil and gas price experts—the people who would be helping address the oil shortage that’s causing surges in gas prices.

The SAVE Act does not “save” anyone from anything. Instead, it adds new barriers — and costs — for eligible voters to access the ballot box. That’s voter suppression, plain and simple. I’m a NO.
