I am devastated by reports of fatalities following today’s chemical explosion at the Nippon Dynawave Packaging Co. facility in Longview. My heart is with the workers, families, and entire Longview community as they wait for updates about their loved ones. (1/2)

Last year, I met the head of Fort Mackinac at the Pink Pony, and he insisted that at some point, I must shoot the cannon at the top of the park. Well, this year, as part of America’s 250th, I got to check this off my bucket list!

Republican North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis is right that Congress decides how taxpayer dollars are spent — not the president. And your money shouldn’t go to people convicted of assaulting law enforcement and the Capitol on January 6th.

Donald Trump just keeps claiming the war is about to end… but the truth is, America is still striking Iran. He’s breaking every promise, starting new forever wars, and raising costs on everything.

@kim.senate.gov is the latest Member of Congress to be attacked by ICE while conducting oversight. We need ICE and CBP reforms now—it can’t wait.

It’s clear that both the policy decisions like sending troops to our cities and Secretary Hegseth's purge of generals have been demoralizing to our service members.

Journalist Sonia Dahmani’s conditional release was modest but welcome progress. Yet legal harassment continues, including yesterday’s sentence on nonsense charges, raising further concerns about basic freedoms in Tunisia under President Saied. Political charges against her & others must be dropped.

Erdogan ordered Turkey’s police to raid the opposition party’s HQ days after a kangaroo court ousted the opposition leader. We cannot keep ignoring Turkey’s descent into authoritarianism. We must stand for the people's right to democracy for allies & adversaries alike.

I heard from families, farmers, & butchers across Upstate NY on how beef monopolies are driving up prices. I’m leading @democrats.senate.gov in the Family Grocery & Farmer Relief Act to break up meatpacking monopolies & stop these unfair practices that rig the game against working families.

The war in Ukraine has real implications for U.S. national security. If Russia wins that war, Vladimir Putin will feel he has the green light to attack a NATO Ally, and President Xi will feel emboldened to move on Taiwan.

ICE's treatment of detainees at Delaney Hall in New Jersey is the latest in a long line of abuses we've seen across the country. When @kim.senate.gov stood up & called out these abuses, they pepper sprayed him. Not another dime for this lawless agency.

No one should need to skip prescriptions or doctor's visits just to stay afloat. This data confirms what we already know – families are hurting. But when folks need help the most, Trump remains focused on his own selfish agenda.

Making it harder for immigrants to get a green card through arbitrary requirements is yet another attempt by the Trump Administration to continue its cruel mass deportation agenda. This new policy will tear apart more families, hurt our economy, and must be overturned.

One basic thing to look at is insurance markets, determined by companies’ fiduciary obligations and business interests. Insurance markets are starting to fail, with companies withdrawing, non-renewing and raising rates in climate-risk regions. (That moves on to mortgage and real estate markets, btw)

Trump's multi-billion-dollar slush fund is the most brazen act of self-dealing corruption we've ever seen. We need to shut it down before he uses it to pay cop beaters, cronies, and other criminals. I'm introducing legislation to stop it. www.semafor.com/article/05/2...

For $1 billion, we could build affordable housing for 5,000 Americans, but Senate Republicans would rather spend it on Trump's gold-plated ballroom. Your tax dollars should be used to invest in our communities, not build party venues for the Epstein class.

The Ebola outbreak in the DRC shows why President Trump’s withdrawal from the World Health Organization and humanitarian aid cuts are a big mistake. Infectious diseases don't know borders, and the Trump-Vance Admin’s chaotic and anti-science health policies make us all less safe.

Not this nonsense again. Shutting down customs at major U.S. airports would hurt millions of American businesses, workers, and families — not to mention totally upend international travel. Another example of Trump making life harder when he should be lowering costs.
