RFK Jr.’s ‘Make America Sick Agenda’ is damaging our public health infrastructure—and health workers are bearing the brunt of this crisis. The Public Health Nursing Act will help us build healthier communities by supporting nurses and bolstering our public health system.

The Trump administration’s plans to seize and sell Venezuelan oil are an invitation to corruption and cronyism. There is no legal or moral authority for Trump’s oil imperialism. Secretary Wright owes Congress and the American people answers. Who will foot the bill for Trump’s slippery scheme?

The House just passed Democrats’ bill to extend ACA tax credits for three more years. The Senate must take up this bill immediately to lower health care costs for the millions of Americans who saw their premiums skyrocket this year.

Trump took military action against Venezuela without Congress’s consent. That is unconstitutional. The Senate spoke: this must stop now. If force is truly necessary, Trump must go to Congress and make the case to the American people—not launch reckless wars for oil.

A horrific act of gun violence took six innocent lives and wounded @gabbygiffords.bsky.social 15 years ago. We honor those we lost and uplift powerful voices like Gabby’s for change. Her courage inspires me every day and I’m proud to fight alongside her and millions of Americans to end gun violence.

I just voted to move forward @kaine.senate.gov resolution to stop Trump’s illegal war in Venezuela. Republicans blocked it in November, but the truth is out. It’s Venezuela today and it could be Cuba or Greenland tomorrow. We must draw the line. No more wars for oil.

I am sending my prayers and deepest condolences to the family and colleagues of Uxbridge Police Officer Stephen LaPorta, who was tragically killed while responding to a vehicle crash yesterday morning. Officer LaPorta’s sacrifice and his legacy of service in his community will not be forgotten.

Donald Trump's decision to leave the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change does nothing to lower costs for Americans. Climate change isn't just dangerous—it's expensive. Not to mention this further erodes US leadership in the midst of an illegal war for oil in Venezuela.

This briefing left us with more questions than answers—the only answer we have is one they didn’t give us. Why invade Venezuela? It’s all for Big Oil’s private profit. Americans are paying for the foreseeable future for this Admin to do oil companies’ dirty work.

Senator Smith is right. ICE must immediately withdraw from Minneapolis to prevent further escalation. I am horrified by eyewitness accounts of masked ICE agents shooting someone in the head and killing them.
A US citizen has apparently been shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis. I’m gathering information, but the situation on the ground is volatile.
ICE should leave now for everyone’s safety.

While Trump kept the American people in the dark on his plans for Venezuela, Big Oil got a heads up “before and after” the attack. The public deserves to know if they’re footing the bill while oil companies reap profits. Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips must answer.

Trump has no plan to make health care affordable for the American people. He’s forcing families to spend more on health care, groceries, and electricity—all while Big Oil CEOs get richer with an illegal war with Venezuela.

Trump built his economic agenda on an illegal power grab. Now, the Supreme Court has an opportunity to send people their money back, starting with the small businesses that paid over $47 billion in Trump tariffs this year.

Who wins from Trump’s illegal war for oil on Venezuela? Big Oil Billionaires. Who loses? The rest of us. The Venezuelan people deserve better, and the American people deserve transparency. I’m demanding answers.

I’ve been sounding the alarm on ICE’s dangerous facial recognition technology—and now we’re seeing the consequences. The Trump administration is weaponizing this technology to target Black and Brown communities and expand its authoritarian surveillance network. This must end now.

Union employees at SBA were reinstated with back pay after facing back-and-forth firings, chaos, and cruelty last year. I’m proud to have worked with AFGE and my Senate colleagues to bring stability to our civil servants and SBA. This illegal mistreatment must never happen again.

Trump can't manage the American economy and now he says he’ll run Venezuela and its oil infrastructure?
We’ve seen what happens when we destabilize countries on behalf of American fossil fuel CEOs—they profit, service members die, and regions collapse. We cannot let this stand.
