TPS holders are our friends, our colleagues, and our neighbors. The Trump administration’s cruel attempts to terminate TPS for Haitians have put thousands of our community members in danger. We must protect TPS and guarantee Haitian TPS holders the dignity they deserve.

Trump’s dangerous $1.2 trillion “Golden Dome” boondoggle will not protect Americans. It’s just a giveaway to defense contractor buddies like Elon Musk. We’re demanding answers from Hegseth on Trump’s trillion-dollar scam.
Pride Month is about celebrating our LGBTQ+ family, friends, neighbors, and community. Honoring those who paved the way, uplifting the next generation, and standing tall beside anyone facing hate and division. I’m proud to continue to celebrate Pride this month and every month!
We had an Iran nuclear deal. Trump tore it up. Now, his “deal” includes a $300 billion payoff for Iran and no new limits on its nuclear program. This is a joke. Congress must review and reject this deal immediately.
In February, Renee King of Fund Black Founders shared her testimony on the hurdles many Black small business owners face. Last week, we met in Washington to uplift the SPARK Act, which would support the growth and creation of minority-owned small businesses nationwide.
That’s why I introduced the SPARK Act—to supercharge minority entrepreneurship nationwide. We must keep up the fight to ensure every entrepreneur can grow their business and thrive.
Last week, I heard from Boston-based Sheena Collier @TheCollierCollection and creatives from across the country with @TakeCreativeControl about the barriers entrepreneurs from underserved communities face to access capital and resources.
Tesla wants Americans to believe its so-called Full Self-Driving technology is safer than human drivers. Then it should prove it.
@blumenthal.senate.gov and I are calling on NHTSA to demand the data, test Tesla’s claims, and strengthen AV safety data reporting.
If spending alone guaranteed security, America would be the safest nation on earth. But the Trump administration has proven that the military industrial complex is not creating real security. Instead of giving out blank checks to defense contractors, we must fund programs that support all Americans.
The Trump administration is funding destabilizing nuclear weapon programs—and their demand every year keeps getting higher. Americans need diplomacy, not destruction. We cannot allow $100 billion for Trump to spend on nuclear Armageddon.

Even Pentagon officials are wondering how they would spend Trump’s $1.5 trillion blank check. It’s way past due that funding goes to programs that make a sound difference in American’s lives—from food assistance, to education, to healthcare needs.

It is time Republicans stop treating matters of life or death like they are a game. Stop funding Trump’s illegal wars abroad. End the funding of the military occupations of American cities. Slash the Pentagon budget and stop lying to Americans about what their money is actually funding.
What can we do with $750 billion instead of funding unnecessary wars? Fund high speed rail, cancel out American’s medical debt, finance education programs, and fully fund SNAP. I’m introducing the Slash the Pentagon Act to cap Trump’s bloated Pentagon budget.

This move will be devastating for families. RFK Jr. shouldn't be in charge of your kid's classroom. Students with disabilities need education experts at the helm - not a dangerous charlatan like RFK Jr.
A Lowell woman waited 5 months for a wheelchair repair and ended up in the ER on a ventilator. This isn't a fluke—too many Americans are paying the price when private equity puts profits over patients. I won't stop fighting to get corporate greed out of health care.
