RFK Jr. will quite literally be bad for your health. He's unfit and unqualified to lead HHS. I'm heading down to the Senate floor to urge my colleagues to vote NO on his nomination.

BREAKING NEWS: We just passed my bill to ban members of Congress, the VP, and the president from trading stocks out of Homeland Security & Govt. Affairs Committee — Dems! I'm proud to lead this historic effort as Chair of the committee. Americans deserve the peace of mind that Congress is always working on THEIR behalf.

The budget the Republicans are putting on the floor tonight will cut essential services that millions of American families rely on. All so they can pay for tax cuts for their billionaire buddies. I'm going to spend all night fighting back.

Russ Vought is dangerous. He's broken the law before and he'll do it again — all in service of his goal to destroy programs that millions of Americans rely on to cover basic needs. I'm on my way to hold the Senate floor right now to fight his confirmation.

I am proposing a very simple deal to reopen the government: - Include a one-year clean extension of the current health care tax credits to immediately address Americans’ rising costs. - Create a bipartisan committee that will continue negotiations on reforms ahead of next year’s enrollment period Compromise is a two-way street. If Republicans want the votes, they need to work with us to address this health care crisis.

The way Senator Padilla was treated today is outrageous and inexcusable. He was doing his job and trying to get information for his constituents. We need accountability for the personnel who forced him to the ground and handcuffed him and immediate answers from the Admin.

ICE is getting billions more in taxpayer money without ANY guardrails because Republicans will rubber-stamp anything President Trump wants. The American people are demanding we rein in DHS and protect their constitutional rights, and today Republicans are failing to answer their calls for reform.

The tax cuts for billionaires in President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” would add more than $3 trillion to our deficit – leaving us unprepared to face an emergency like another pandemic or financial crisis. That’s just reckless.

When I visited Guantánamo to see what the Trump Administration is up to, I learned that they're spending $100k a DAY per migrant detained there. That's outrageous for a President that's telling everyone he's worried about waste.

Trump's Administration could release the full SNAP funding currently available right now. Yet, he has fought it every step of the way. Hungry children should not be penalized as we keep working to reopen the government.

Republicans have blocked our bills to fund TSA, FEMA, cybersecurity personnel, and the Coast Guard. I'm disappointed that some of my Republican colleagues spent Senator Mullin's confirmation hearing playing political games about lapses in critical funding - when they could just pass the bills today.

Hundreds of thousands of Michiganders could lose their health care if Republicans cut Medicaid. They're shouting from the rooftops about the devastating consequences they'd face. Here are some of their stories.

Republicans know health care costs are rising. Families are suffering right now. I’m proposing a simple compromise. Extend the existing tax credits to provide some immediate relief, and we’ll talk long-term solutions to lower health care costs after shutdown.

Democrats are ready to pay TSA agents and other critical DHS employees today. If services continue to go interrupted or our homeland security is impacted, that’s on Republicans.

Here’s the deal right now: Trump and Republicans are willing to shut down the government instead of work with Democrats to prevent health care costs from rising even more. People are already hurting as a result of Trump’s severe cuts, and Americans’ premiums are expected to double. We must take action to ensure people can still access affordable health care.

Nobody in Michigan wants to cut food assistance and health care to finance a tax cut for billionaires — but that's exactly what Republicans are trying to do. Sen. Elissa Slotkin and I are going to fight this ridiculous bill every step of the way.

I fought tooth-and-nail to pass the Affordable Care Act when I first came to Congress. I won't stand by now as Republicans rip health care away from millions of Americans. We must ensure families can access health care.

Secretary Hegseth needs to stop roadblocking Congress on these boat strikes in the Caribbean. Senators from both parties are demanding transparency. The American people deserve to know exactly what happened and why.

Congress decides whether we go to war, not the president. Trump needs to justify these military operations to the American people, especially now that six American soldiers lost their lives. That’s why I’m voting YES on Senator Tim Kaine’s War Power Resolution.

It's a very simple compromise: Protect existing health care credits, end the shutdown. We must take action on rising costs for families who are shopping for their health care right now, and we can end this shutdown.

Linda McMahon has no idea what public school teachers need to successfully teach their students. I'm standing with our students and teachers, and voting NO on McMahon for Secretary of Education.
