Horrified to learn that a mass shooting has taken place at Brown University tonight. America’s college students deserve to learn and grow without living in fear of senseless and preventable gun violence. My thoughts are with the victims of this tragedy and their families.

House Republicans have released a health care bill that will do nothing to lower costs for the millions of Americans who are now facing skyrocketing premium increases.

We should be working together to foster innovation and protect Americans’ privacy and safety—not punishing states for trying to protect people from the harms of AI.

Republicans are obsessed with destroying our public health and environmental laws.
 
Today @houserepublicans.bsky.social are on the floor moving legislation that intentionally strips states’ right to enforce their own clean water laws as long as it helps build more pipelines.

If you can't handle basic questions from Congress, it's time to resign.

In Trump’s mind, Americans are financing their groceries, having their utilities shut off and going bankrupt paying health care bills—because they bought too many pencils for their kids.
 
Wtf.

Protecting kids online is incredibly important.

At a consumer protection markup today, I voiced concern that several bills up for debate stop states from doing more to keep kids and teens safe online.

Trump’s tariffs are CRUSHING NJ businesses and shoppers. More than half are saying they're going to have to hike prices—just as New Jerseyans can least afford it. Didn't Trump promise to bring prices DOWN? www.njspotlightnews.org/2025/12/ener...

With this move, Trump is trying to say that his BIRTHDAY is more important than millions of Americans winning their freedom and their civil rights.

Spoiler alert: it's not. www.npr.org/2025/12/06/g...

Trump doesn’t want Americans to know just how bad he’s made the economy—but Americans are still shelling out more and more at the cash register this holiday season. He can’t sweep this one under the rug. www.wsj.com/economy/bls-...
BLS to Skip October PPI Report

Trump promised to unify America, but he’s only dividing us with his rhetoric.

Are Mike Johnson and the @HouseGOP going to call him out after he calls entire groups of people “garbage?” Or is that what they stand for, too?

Companies are raking in record profits while they make hundreds of thousands of people unemployed—but the Americans that have jobs are still having to budget on SHOESTRINGS.

America is officially worse.

The Trump @fda.gov keeps running from the truth and using quack science to make their decisions—and I won’t stop holding them accountable.

The nation’s vaccine advisory panel is meeting today to consider Secretary Kennedy’s latest proposals.
 
Let me be clear: children will needlessly die and suffer if they approve RFK, Jr’s agenda.

I’m urging the panel to think twice and protect access to vaccines.
