As history teaches us, the only way to win a nuclear arms race is to refuse to run. As New START expires, I'm arguing for a continued U.S. policy of disarmament—rooted in treaties, inspections, and verification.

The Family and Medical Leave Act became law 33 years ago today. It’s been a lifeline to millions, but Congress must secure #PaidLeaveForAll. Paid leave is good for Main Street, it’s good for families, and it’s good for our future.

Anthropic has announced that Claude will remain ad-free. I’m glad to see @anthropic.com agrees that ads in AI chatbots can pose serious risks to its users. That’s why I opened an investigation into AI chatbots’ advertising plans. Companies must put consumers first.

Trump's immigration crackdown is also about stealing the 2026 election. Trump and MAGA Republicans know they can't win at the ballot box, so they are setting the stage to deploy Trump's private army of ICE thugs against American voters. We must protect our elections.
Breaking:
The White House press secretary just said she "can't guarantee" that ICE won't be around polling locations in November.

Oil and natural gas are expensive—and dirty—ways to power our grid. The solution isn’t to get more dependent on expensive power—it’s for Trump and MAGA Republicans to stop blocking cheap, clean energy and stop raising prices by exporting gas abroad.

My constituent, Juan David’s habeas petition was denied yesterday. If he is removed from the United States, it will erase all avenues for protection. ICE must allow more time for his T visa relief process to be fully adjudicated.

The Trump administration wants to roll back the fuel economy standards that have saved Americans millions of dollars at the pump. We’re calling on Secretary Duffy to quit caving to the fossil fuel industry and keep the public’s gas pump and health costs down.

Orwellian surveillance tools have no place in a democracy. That is why I introduced the ICE Out of Our Faces Act—to stop ICE and CBP from using dangerous and discriminatory facial recognition technologies. This must end now.

President Trump has said he wants to reduce nuclear arsenals. Sticking with New START limits and seeking a new treaty is the best way to do that. Trump does not want to be the president that started a new, dangerous and expensive arms race with Russia and China.

Rosa Parks was a trailblazing organizer whose contributions to the Civil Rights movement are innumerable. On her birthday, we honor her legacy, her bravery, and her commitment to justice for all.

Autonomous vehicle companies say their cars can do it all. But AVs still rely on remote human beings to navigate dangerous driving situations. We know nothing about who these people are, where they are, or how often they’re telling the AV what to do. I’m demanding answers.

I am calling on @icegov.bsky.social Director Todd Lyons to immediately confirm or deny the existence of a “domestic terrorist” database. If true, you’re violating the Constitution. If not, maybe talk to your “border czar” to get your stories straight. This isn’t a game–it’s the Constitution.

Black history is American history. During Black History Month, we celebrate and honor the history and legacy of Black Americans and their diverse, vibrant communities. While Trump censors, rewrites, and erases history, we will continue to speak the truth and fight for justice.

Big businesses are buying their way out of Trump’s tariff taxes. Meanwhile, small businesses are left holding the bag. My Small Business RELIEF Act would end the pain on Main Street and return billions back to our communities.

He’s saying the quiet part out loud: Trump and MAGA Republicans can’t win with their unpopular policies at the ballot box, so they want to steal the 2026 election.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

Let’s be honest: America needs new nukes about as much as President Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. A new nuclear arms race is not the answer. Fewer nuclear weapons is.

Americans are spending 9% more on heating bills so far during the Trump presidency. Now more than ever, we need programs like LIHEAP, which helps families keep their homes warm as temperatures drop. While Trump tries to destroy LIHEAP, I’ll keep fighting to expand it.

I am relieved that Liam and his Dad have been released and grateful to Congressman Castro and the millions of Americans who came together to demand action. But we cannot rest until the Trump administration stops detaining and separating families.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

In December, I inspected the ICE facility in Burlington and demanded answers about the conditions the detainees were facing. ICE has not responded. We need transparency now. The inhumane conditions and actions of ICE in Massachusetts must end. I will not stop fighting.
