When a WI woman asked Sen Johnson what options she'd have without the ACA if she tested positive for the genetic pre-existing condition that killed her mom, he said he would force her back into the high-risk pools that made anyone with pre-existing conditions pay double for care.

Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov says American diplomats should leave Ukraine—to avoid their blood thirsty bombs. In Ukraine now, I’m seeing firsthand brave American diplomats who refuse to be cowed by Russian bullying.

My visit to Ukraine convinces me that redoubled U.S. support—more than rhetoric—is essential to Ukraine’s battlefield strength & peace. The Ukrainian Navy is fighting with a determination & skill that is of the highest caliber. We must provide them the tools they urgently need.

Pressed by my questions, Trump’s judicial nominees give identical, nonsensical canned responses—looking ridiculous & demonstrating an abject absence of independence & integrity. Lacking a backbone now, they won’t have one on the bench.

Jeanine Pirro is deeply unqualified & unfit to be the United States Attorney for DC. She is simply a loyal acolyte & sycophant of the President. She is not objective, she is not independent. Instead she has made her mark spreading damaging, offensive conspiracy theories.

We must release the equipment that Ukraine desperately needs. It’s sitting there, but Sec. Hegseth seemingly refuses to do anything about it.

I call for Brendan Carr’s resignation. Censoring Jimmy Kimmel goes to the core of suppressing free speech in this country. Trump—through his lapdog chair of the FCC—is creating the fear & intimidation that serves an instrument of authoritarian power.

I was shocked to learn that Putin is purposely targeting American businesses—bombing more than half of the 600 with operations here. It’s open season on American plants & offices in Ukraine.

As I leave Kyiv, I’m inspired by the strength & courage of the Ukrainian people as they endure Putin's bloody invasion. Ukraine's fight is our fight—we must pass my Russian sanctions bill w/ Lindsey Graham & impose bone-crushing sanctions on Russia to stop the murderous assault

Scorching sanctions are needed to stop Putin's murderous invasion of Ukraine. I joined Morning Joe to discuss yesterday's House vote showing support for Ukraine & the need for the Senate to follow suit.

8 Inspectors General have been removed in the last 16 years. Trump fired 15 in one night. This isn’t normal.

I’m demanding Noem halt her illegal video message, showing on TSA screens in airports nationwide, falsely blaming Democrats for the shutdown. It violates the Hatch Act, making travelers a captive audience for partisan propaganda. My letter is joined by equally outraged colleagues

CT Sun is leaving CT—harming fans, local businesses, our state economy—because WNBA blocked them from accepting the highest bid, staying in CT. I’m asking DOJ to investigate this apparent monopolistic interference with fair competition.

Democracy dies when people become inured to a tyrant’s reality distortion machine—like Trump’s. Cooking the books, shooting the messenger, suppressing the media, & more—all mark the march to tyranny. Constant & cumulative—like Trump’s—they need to be called out & pushed back.

I’m aghast & appalled. According to Trump’s judicial nominees, Jan. 6 is a “political controversy” not a violent attack on the Capitol of the United States. These answers don’t reflect an attempt at honesty or a fitness to serve lifetime appointments on the federal bench.

Postmark dates will no longer reflect reality—potentially causing chaos with tax filing, voting, bill paying & more. USPS must urgently restore timely postmarks that show the actual date mail was sent.

Trump is threatening to pull 50,000 American troops from core NATO allies like Italy, Spain, & Germany. On Erin Burnett OutFront, I discussed the President’s foreign policy strategy that’s dangerously driven by vengeance & vanity.

King Charles’ speech to Congress was inspiring & moving. He made a call to action in defense of democracy—emphasizing the legislative branch standing up to the executive.

At the same time the Trump Admin is cutting health care, nutrition assistance, & emergency services in the name of ‘efficiency’ & ‘savings,’ they have enabled DOGE’s reckless waste of at least $21.7 billion. My new PSI report is a searing indictment of DOGE’s false claims.
