In a major defeat for Trump, I was happy to join the Senate’s 50-48 successful vote to direct Trump to end his illegal and reckless Iran war. The tide has changed. End this disastrous war now.
Workers should be managed by people, not a machine. I’m proud to partner with the @aflcio.org on the No Robot Bosses Act and Stop Spying Bosses Act to stop AI management, rein in workplace surveillance, and put workers back in control of their autonomy, privacy, and rights.
No Robot Bosses
No relying on automated decisions to make hiring, firing and disciplinary decisions.
No evading accountability. Developers and employers must assess systems for harms to workers before using them.
No automating decisions without notifying workers.
No unfair hiring. Applicants must be able to request human review.
No loopholes. New Fairness and Transparency Office to enforce.
No retaliating. Whistleblower protection for all workers who speak out.
Stop Spying Bosses:
No unnecessary employee data collection.
No surveilling employees off duty.
No surveilling employees’ union activity.
No hiding from accountability. Workers have the right to access, correct and appeal all data collected on them.
No selling or transferring employee data to third parties.
No loopholes. New Worker Protection and Technology Division to enforce.
No retaliating. Whistleblower protection for all workers who speak out.
On Social Media Victims Remembrance Day we reflect on the thousands of young people impacted, the lives lost, and the families who have faced what no one should have to. Their stories remind me every day why I keep fighting to protect children online, and why we must prevail.
Amazon received $17.5 billion in tax subsidies last year. They made $78 billion in profit. On Prime Day, don’t buy Amazon’s excuse that they can't pay workers more. Let's pass my bipartisan Warehouse Worker Protection Act, ban worker surveillance & stop AI from being your boss.
Green card holders, refugees, and DACA recipients ARE lawful American job creators and workers. But that wouldn’t fit the Trump administration’s racist, anti-small business agenda. Restore the American Dream for lawfully present immigrant job creators.

Under the Trump Administration, taxpayer-backed loans from the SBA will only go to support lawful American job creators and workers – not illegal aliens, not fraudsters, and not foreign nationals.
Bias in AI can cost people jobs. When AI discriminates, real people pay the price. That’s why I introduced the AI Civil Rights Act—to mitigate bias, require transparency and accountability, and protect opportunity for everyone.

Stanford University researchers analyzed 4 million job applications and found that 26% of Black applicants and 15% of Asian applicants applied to jobs where AI hiring systems worked against their racial group.

The researchers estimate that if those candidates had been recommended at the same rate as the most-favored group, roughly 40,000 additional applications would have advanced to the next stage of hiring.
Big corporations shouldn't get to call the shots and then pretend they're not the boss. I led my colleagues in calling out the Department of Labor's Joint Employer rule, which would weaken DOL's ability to investigate wage theft, FMLA violations, and other labor abuses.

Banning SBA loans for job creators and entrepreneurs with lawful immigration statuses is hateful and bad policy. I’m proud to stand with 60 Mass legislators, my Senate colleagues, and small businesses in calling for the repeal of SBA’s draconian citizenship restrictions.
Lawmakers push SBA to rescind ban on loans to immigrants
Today we celebrate the fathers and father figures who help shape our lives through their love, sacrifice, patience, and encouragement. Wishing all who are celebrating a happy Father’s Day!
No worker should be fired or disciplined by a machine. No employer should be able to watch their workers in break rooms or collect data to predict potential union activity. It’s time to put workers first in the technological age.
