We need to hit the brakes on billionaire corporations spying on you every time you start your car. I introduced the Car Privacy Rights Act to protect consumers from the automakers collecting and selling your private data!
REPUBLICANS blocked my bill to ban congressional stock trading. Unacceptable—you should feel confident that public officials are making decisions in the publicinterest, not to pad their stock portfolios.
I’m on the Senate floor to force a vote to block Trump’s illegal line item veto of funding already authorized by Congress. He’s violating the Constitution—we need to stop it!
Completely morally bankrupt: the Trump Administration is forcing children—including a 3-year-old—to represent themselves in immigration court, in clear violation of law and precedent. Cruelty is the point. Trauma is the goal. I’m focused on stopping it.    www.cnn.com/2026/09/28/p...
HUGE: The Senate just passed my bipartisan bill with Senator John Curtis to give our communities the resources they need to face increasingly hotter and more dangerous wildfires while planning for hazardous smoke.
Trump’s Republican allies in the Senate BLOCKED my bill with Senator Murkowski to stop the Kennedy Center—or any presidential national memorial—from being demolished without an act of Congress. Just shameful.
I’m headed to the Senate floor to force a vote on the bill I’m leading with Sen. Murkowski to stop demolition of any national memorial to honor a U.S. president (like the Kennedy Center or the Jefferson Memorial) without an act of Congress.   Every Senator should be a YES on this.
I’m on the Senate floor forcing a vote on my bill to make sure no federal funds are used to build Trump’s Arch. This monument to his own ego is a complete waste of money. Taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill.
All students deserve the chance to learn, participate, and get the individual attention they need to thrive. I’m working to make sure schools have the resources they need to support educators and make sure every child has a quality learning experience.
Thanks to the partnership of state and local leaders, we held the Trump Administration accountable to deliver on critical disaster preparedness funding for the North Coast! This will save lives. I’ll keep pushing to get this project over the finish line.
The national average price for a gallon of diesel is now $6.50! Trump’s illegal war is screwing over famers, truckers, and folks across the country trying to put food on the table. I’m focused on passing a War Powers Resolution to end the war with Iran.
