When is enough enough?
As the use of AI chatbots grows more popular, I am pushing for answers from leading tech companies on how they are ensuring their products are safe to use––especially for children. edition.cnn.com/2025/04/03/t...
Working families are paying more today than they were before Trump became president.
Why? Because Trump lied on the campaign trail.
He’s not lowering costs for working families, he’s lowering taxes for his wealthy donors.
I was honored to join Senator Booker today as he continues to stand strong on the floor and stand up for Americans across the country.

Trump’s top security officials were caught openly sharing classified information and putting our troops at risk, yet he refuses to take action.
Why is Trump afraid to hold his team accountable?
I had the opportunity to thank the outstanding service members from California who are stationed at Naval Station Guantánamo Bay working hard despite the challenging circumstances.

Trump and Republicans want to gut Medicaid to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
We're going to fight them on it.
Trump’s tariffs are a tax on American families. Plain and simple. www.cnn.com/2025/03/09/b...
Las tarifas de Trump van a aumentar los precios y el costo de vida para las familias Latinas.
The single biggest contributor to our national debt in recent decades?
Trump’s tax cuts from his first term.

On #InternationalWomensDay, we celebrate the incredible women who have shaped our lives.
Let’s honor them by advancing equality, protecting health care, and ensuring safety for all women.
