Earlier this week, Republicans surrendered their own power to defend their constituents from Trump's destructive tariffs. These tariffs are driving inflation higher, raising prices for American families, and drastically slowing job growth.

I led @markwarner.bsky.social, @kaine.senate.gov, @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @repsuhas.bsky.social, @repvindman.bsky.social and @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social in urging the Administration to retract its proposal to eliminate the 2009 Endangerment Finding and protect our communities.
This is a direct attack on freedom of expression and a clear example of Trump Administration officials using government powers to silence protected speech.
Brendan Carr should resign, and all who love the First Amendment must defend it.

LIVE NOW: I'm introducing the Billionaire Income Tax Act with

When CEOs make 600x what workers earn and billionaires find ways to game the system and go untaxed, something has to change. It’s time for fairness.

The Trump administration’s order to remove mentions of slavery from our parks is an attempt to erase our country’s history. We still live with the legacy of slavery and racism, and no matter how hard Trump tries, he cannot rewrite the truth of our past.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, it is especially important to celebrate the power that comes from diversity. U.S. Latinos are the embodiment of ‘e pluribus unum’ – out of many, one.
Hispanic Heritage Month honors the culture, leadership, and contributions of Hispanics and Latinos who shape our communities. Especially this year, let’s use our voices to uplift and celebrate our neighbors amid a climate of fear that’s disrupting daily life.
Today, nearly every House Republican voted to surrender their own power to block Trump’s tariffs.
Trump’s illegal tariffs are taxes on the American people that are driving up costs, raising inflation, killing jobs, and weakening our economy.
Republicans voted to continue that.
A crushing healthcare price hike is on the horizon thanks to the Republican tax law, but Congress can fix this issue before millions of Americans are hit with eye-popping health care bills.

The American blank check for Netanyahu's Gaza City operation does not serve our interests.
We are mired in a moral and strategic morass, and the only way out is a fundamental alteration of the broken U.S.-Israeli relationship. 2/2
Palestinian civilians continue to be killed with American weapons, Israeli hostages are no closer to freedom, and people in this country and around the globe are rightfully horrified that their leaders refuse to see what is obvious to everyone else. 1/2

When 300 million people are at risk of identity theft at the hands of their government, people deserve accountability and answers.
That’s exactly what Ways and Means Democrats are calling for.

My statement with @markwarner.bsky.social, @bobbyscott.house.gov, @beyer.house.gov, @mcclellan.house.gov, @repvindman.bsky.social, @repsuhas.bsky.social, and Representative Walkinshaw condemning political violence:
We will never forget September 11th, the heroism we saw and the people we lost. We will always honor them, and our gratitude for their courage and sacrifice will never fade.
I write amid a time of great hardship for federal employees and contractors to say thank you for your patriotism and your service, and to offer what hope I can during this abysmal period in our country’s modern history.
A new open letter:

Suicide by firearm is the deadliest form of gun violence in America. On National Firearm Suicide Prevention Day, we raise awareness about this crisis and the work being done to empower families and communities to protect their loved ones.
Together, we can save lives.

Netanyahu is so hellbent on sabotaging peace talks designed to stop the killing and free hostages that he is now literally blowing up negotiations.
The U.S. should not support what Israel is doing. Trump is either complicit in this strike and lying, or was played for a fool.
We told the Administration to rehire the critical disaster response and preparedness staff they fired. Instead, the Administration is listing jobs demanding fealty rather than skill expertise.
The weather doesn’t care about political parties. Just rehire the staff we need already.
