I was struck by both his words and his actions when he visited the US in 2015. He called on us to overcome our political differences in service of the poor and the planet, and while in the US, he met with migrants, the homeless, and the imprisoned to show us how to live out Christ’s teachings.

Pope Francis has been an inspiring faith leader whose transformative papacy has shown the Spirit of Christ through his humility, his open-hearted engagement with the world, his tireless advocacy for peace, and his focus on the poor and the marginalized.
This week, I’m part of a bipartisan delegation to Taiwan and East Asia with my Senate colleagues Pete Ricketts and Ted Budd. Though we've arrived at an unprecedented time in our nation’s relationship with China, we are here to remind our friends that both parties in Congress stand firmly with them.
My prayers are with the Florida State community and the brave law enforcement and first responders on the scene. Americans, and particularly our kids, have suffered from the threat of mass shootings for far too long. We can never accept this as normal.
Health care shouldn't be a luxury reserved for the fortunate few. Medicaid is a vital lifeline that makes our communities healthier while ultimately reducing costs for everyone, which is why I will always fight to protect this essential program.
President Trump’s alarming attempted destruction of #AmeriCorps will damage communities across the nation. I am working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to press the Trump administration to reverse these unjustified cuts and restore a valued program.
It was great to join Dan's new show @peoplescabinet.bsky.social to talk about how we must expand and strengthen our international alliances such as NATO, and how foreign aid keeps us safer.

“Unprecedented and destructive.”

If chronic disease is an existential threat to our nation, why is RFK Jr. slashing research programs that could help of millions of Americans treat and prevent these very diseases? You can't solve a crisis by destroying the tools needed to fight it.

Trump is making decisions about the economy like he’s deciding what he wants for lunch. American families are going to pay the price.
Today at 12:30pm, @marshablackburntn.bsky.social and I are reintroducing the NO FAKES Act to protect artists and everyday Americans alike from unauthorized AI replicas. We’ll be livestreaming it on www.youtube.com/@senatorchri.... Make sure to tune in!
Every $1 in NIH funding generates $2.56 in economic activity, and more than 408,000 jobs depend on NIH research grants. We're setting ourselves up to lose the brightest American minds while China rolls out the welcome mat for them. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/o...
The YMCA’s Youth in Government program is proof that the next generation is intelligent, passionate, and engaged. Our future is in great hands.
Ask the 70 million Americans who rely on Social Security what they think of it, and they’ll tell you it’s vital lifeline. Ask Elon Musk what he thinks of it, and he’ll tell you it’s a Ponzi Scheme—a fraud.
Congress has a constitutional role to play in strengthening our economy and protecting our national security from President Trump’s policies. My Democratic colleagues and I continue to work to fulfill that role, and I hope that soon, enough senators on both sides of the aisle will do so.
Time and again tonight, Senate Republicans were given the opportunity to take a stand against these disastrous tariffs and in favor of protecting Social Security. Time and again they refused.
Trump’s tariff policies have unleashed a national economic crisis, and tonight we saw Senate Republicans’ solution: slashing Social Security and Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.
I'm about to speak on the Senate floor about this disastrous GOP budget resolution and the Trump-Musk plan to slash Social Security.

I agree with @repdonbacon.bsky.social. If we let Putin redraw borders by force, we show China and Iran they can do the same, and food and energy prices will skyrocket. Standing with Ukraine is standing for America's interests. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/o...
Discussing classified information on unsecured channels puts our security and our servicemembers at risk. That’s why I joined my fellow Senate Democrats in calling on AG Bondi to appoint an independent special counsel to investigate the Trump admin's security breach. thehill.com/homenews/sen...
