If you're waiting in a TSA line, you can thank Senate Republicans for rejecting Democrats' proposal to fund TSA. We can support TSA workers while we hold this administration accountable. Last week, Republicans chose Trump over you.

I am relieved that Leqaa Kordia has been released from ICE’s custody and is finally free. This should never have happened. Thank you to all in NJ who stood up for Leqaa. Because of you, she is now able to be reunited with her family.

As a member of the Sandwich Generation, I understand what it's like to take care of young kids while also caring for aging parents. No one should struggle to provide care to their loved ones.

A court just blocked a major part of RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda. Good. Vaccines save lives. Policy must be guided by science—not conspiracy theories and dangerous misinformation. Today’s ruling is a victory for science, for parents, and for kids across America.

Trump's war with Iran shut off access to about 20% of the world's oil supply and gas prices are skyrocketing. I introduced a bill to suspend the federal gas tax because working Americans shouldn't pay more for Trump's bad decisions.

Senate Republicans are holding TSA, FEMA, and Coast Guard funding hostage to give more money to agencies that have killed Americans on our streets. We can fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard without funding ICE and CBP. Republicans just refuse to.

Americans are delaying treatment, stretching prescriptions, and cutting back on essentials because of the high cost of care and Trump's decision to slash hundreds of billions of dollars from Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.

RFK Jr’s changes to our nation’s childhood vaccine schedule fly in the face of science and threaten the lives of kids nationwide. This ruling offers a temporary reprieve from the madness, but I’m afraid the damage has already been done.

Trump and his FCC want to charge media outlets with treason if they don’t report his illegal war exactly the way he wants them to. Censoring the free press is straight out of the authoritarian playbook.

RFK Jr.’s reckless anti-science crusade is turning deadly in the Commonwealth and across the country. He continues to spread vaccine misinformation, cut lifesaving NIH-funded research, and dismantle our public health infrastructure. RFK Jr. must end his Make America Sick Agenda.

Replacing ACIP scientists with conspiracy theorists and issuing a dangerous vaccine schedule was never going to hold up. Today a federal judge proved it. Vaccine policy must be guided by science.

Trump promised to bring down prices on day 1. But prices are soaring & Americans are making very tough decisions to scrape by. From launching a multibillion-dollar war of choice to refusing to extend ACA tax credits, it's clear Trump never gave a damn about reducing your costs.

Last week, I sat down with the NJ Restaurant and Hospitality Association to hear about the top issues facing restaurants and employees in NJ. I look forward to ways we can partner to support our state's small businesses and the working families that visit them.

If you are a: - married woman that changed your last name, - student that moved away to college, - senior & lifelong voter with mobility issues, Republicans' SAVE Act will make it HARDER and more EXPENSIVE for you to vote. Democrats will be fighting to keep our elections fair and FREE.

We’ve seen this disastrous playbook before – it’s a lot easier to get into a war in the Middle East than it is to get out of one. Does Trump have any idea at all on how to end this?

Because of President Trump’s war in Iran, anything that depends on the cost of fuel is going to go up. That means trucking, that means airline tickets. That means the price of food. youtube.com/shorts/22yp2...

Trump promised to cut people's electricity bills in half by the end of his first year in office. Instead, they've risen by almost triple the rate of inflation.

Three weeks into Trump’s war of choice with Iran, and 13 American service members are dead, while families back home are facing soaring gas costs and skipping meals to keep up with health care and utility bills. No one is winning this war. The United States definitely isn't.

Donald Trump says he’s hoping China will help us clear the Strait of Hormuz. Are you kidding me? Donald Trump created a mess in the Middle East, and he clearly has no plan for how to end it.

Not a single Senate Democrat will support the SAVE Act. Not this week. Not next week. Not ever. We will oppose it on the floor as long as it takes.

This week, Senate Republicans will force votes on the so-called SAVE America Act. It would block millions of service members, seniors, women, and more from voting. I will vote no.

This decision is a welcome first step toward repairing the damage RFK Jr. has done to our public health. Americans deserve vaccine guidance they can trust, and we need to pass my VACCINE Act to protect our public health system from future interference.

This decision is a step in the right direction, but I’m calling on HHS to reverse this decision once and for all.

This ruling is good news for children and parents everywhere. RFK Jr.’s extreme changes to childhood vaccine recommendations were never based in science and would have exposed kids to deadly diseases like meningitis and hepatitis – and that's why I've been fighting back against them. 🧵

Dems put forth proposals to pay TSA officers & others while DHS negotiations continue. Each time, Republicans chose to block us & rubber-stamp wasteful luxury private jet boondoggles for Trump's DHS appointees. Time for real oversight, accountability & reform.

Good news. A judge has just BLOCKED some of Sec. Kennedy’s disastrous attacks on vaccines. This is an important victory for science and for our health, but the fight continues. Keep up the pressure.

The ticketing market is broken. Congress should set national rules protecting consumers in the primary & secondary markets, such as my BOSS & SWIFT Act. As important, it’s time to break up Ticketmaster. 5

My report’s findings raise fresh concerns that the Trump admin’s settlement with Live Nation will allow anti-consumer price gouging tactics to continue while doing little to protect musicians, their fans, & independent venues. 4/

At each stage of this process, from primary tickets marked up by dynamic pricing algorithms, to secondary sales from consumers & ticket brokers, Ticketmaster has profited handsomely while Americans paid the price. 3/

Despite the company’s recurrent insistence that decisions about ticket prices & fees are largely out of its hands, Live Nation has exerted its enormous influence over venues & artists to increase fees & ticket prices. 2/

Today I’m releasing a PSI report, which presents new information on the ways Ticketmaster abused its monopoly power to reap huge profits & push concert ticket prices farther out of reach for fans. 1/ www.hsgac.senate.gov/wp-content/u...
