Trump’s tariffs are already disrupting supply chains and driving up energy costs nationwide. While Big Oil takes a free pass, it’s working families that will pay the price.
Today is AANHPI Equal Pay Day. That means that in order to take home as much as a white non-Hispanic man made in 2024, AANHPI women had to work from January of last year until today. We must close the gap and ensure equal pay for equal work.
Republicans just blocked my resolution to reaffirm the 22nd and 12th Amendments and make clear that Donald Trump is not eligible for a third term. Here's my question. If Trump's only joking, then why block me?
Family caregivers are heroes. But even heroes need help. I thank Senator Capito, Rep. Cammack, and Rep. Magaziner for their partnership on my Alleviating Barriers for Caregivers Act. We must remove the burden of red tape for caregivers and get them support and services they need.
RFK Jr.'s HHS cuts include the entire LIHEAP team. Read that again. The entire team.    This leaves no federal staff to help the more than 5 million households that rely on affordable heating and cooling.    Without staff, the program is at risk of grindingto a halt.
Cory Booker’s time on the floor was more than just record-breaking—it’s an example of the bold action we must each take every day if we are going to defend our country from billionaire greed. Thank you, my friend, for showing the way.
I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:
I'm urging DHS to release Kseniia Petrova, a dedicated Harvard Medical School researcher, while she awaits her asylum hearings. She faces prolonged detention after the Trump admin revoked her visa. Kseniia should be in Massachusetts—not 1,500 miles away in a cell in Louisiana.
I'm joining @seiu.org to make clear that Donald Trump’s efforts to silence dissent and spread fear won’t stop our collective power. He must free Rumeysa, and we will not be silent as this administration fights to take our rights and our freedom. #4the1st
