President Trump shared a video that was blatantly racist.
I don’t want to hear my Republican colleagues say “they didn’t see it” when asked.
It’s disgusting behavior, and every Republican should condemn it.
The last nuclear arms treaty between the U.S. and Russia is expiring.
There's now a real possibility of a new nuclear arms race between global superpowers.
President Trump must work with Russia and China to forge a new arms control treaty to prevent a nuclear war.
Right now, federal restrictions limit nonprofits from lending students low-interest loans to help them pay for college.
That's why I’m introducing a bill with Senator Grassley to lift these restrictions, so more young people get the opportunity to chase their educational goals.
ICE should be targeting the worst criminals.
But under Secretary Noem, it’s been turned into a masked secret police force that shoots citizens and teargasses children.
ICE leadership has informed their agents that they have expanded powers to arrest people without a warrant.
It's another attack by President Trump and Secretary Noem on the foundations of our democracy.
Organic practices keep us healthy, enrich our land's soil, and reduce our carbon emissions.
I’m introducing a bill to make it easier for farmers to join the movement that is more sustainable and profitable.

Trump tried to "find votes" in Georgia when he lost the state in the 2020 election.
Now his FBI has raided a Georgia county election office.
It's yet another attack on our elections and on our democracy.
Household debt has hit a record high of $18.6 trillion.
Credit card delinquency highest since Great Recession.
Auto loan delinquency highest since 2010.
And yet President Trump is taking money away from working families to spend it on billionaire tax cuts and more money for ICE.
Right now, EMS providers aren't just delivering emergency care to Medicare patients, they're covering the cost too.
That's why I'm introducing a bill with @sanders.senate.gov and @balint.house.gov to reimburse those on the frontlines for their life-saving work in Vermont and around the nation.
It's been two years since 5-year-old Hind Rajab and six members of her family were killed by Israeli tank and machine gun fire. Two Red Crescent workers sent to rescue them were also killed.
I will continue to fight for justice for her and so many other Palestinians who have died.
Data centers are driving electricity bills up across the country for working families already struggling to make ends meet.
My colleagues and I are demanding answers on how New England’s grid operator plans to protect families from the costs of new data centers.
There’s snow place like home.
Career prosecutors at the Justice Department requested to investigate the killing of Renee Macklin Good by an ICE agent. But they were denied.
I led @judiciarydems.senate.gov in demanding the Civil Rights Division open an investigation into the death of Ms. Good.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the millions of Jewish lives lost during one of the most hateful and cruel campaigns our world has seen.
Today is an important reminder that we must fight against rising antisemitism here in the U.S. and abroad.
When Republicans took away health care from millions of families last year, they also gave ICE $75 billion, making it the highest-funded law enforcement agency in the U.S.
Now they want to give even more money to an ICE agency on the rampage?
Hell no.
I will vote no.
Now would be a good time to pass Senator Alex Padilla's VISIBLE Act.
It requires agents to have clear identification and bans non-medical face masks.
Renee Macklin Good should be alive today. Alex Pretti should be alive today.
Under Secretary Noem, ICE agents are armed, masked, and given license to do whatever they want.
I will vote against any government funding package that includes more funding for ICE.
Vermonters in Plainfield are still waiting for the federal resources they need to recover from the severe flooding in 2023 and 2024.
I hosted a town hall to hear more about the challenges Vermonters face and share how I’m working to make the recovery process more efficient.
