Elon Musk didn't have any issue with USAID when it gave millions of dollars to his company Starlink. But now it's a "criminal organization?"

I've asked many of President Trump's nominees a simple question: who won the 2020 election? It's a simple question. When our public servants are more afraid of angering the president than they are dedicated to protecting the Constitution, that's a crisis for our democracy.

After Secretary Kennedy accused Democrats of being shills for Big Pharma, I told him I was going to leave his hearing and bring my bill to the floor allowing Medicare to negotiate lower prices on medications. This is the moment 33 minutes later when Republicans blocked it.

Hind Rajab should be with us still today. But more than two years after her death, there has been zero accountability for her murder—which is documented in The Voice of Hind Rajab. She’s one of more than 20,000 kids who have been killed in Gaza—more than 100 since the “ceasefire.” That’s why today, I introduced the Justice for Hind Rajab Act, which calls for accountability for her murder.

I asked Director Patel what it costs taxpayers for him to fly around the country on an FBI jet to attend UFC fights and hockey games. He couldn’t tell me.

Prime Minister Netanyahu's military campaign has killed and wounded a shocking number of civilians, and created a massive humanitarian crisis. I cannot in good conscience support sending more taxpayer dollars to support his continued bombardment of Gaza.

It's time for us to acknowledge what the entire world knows: It's impossible to deliver humanitarian aid in a very active war zone. That's why I've called for a ceasefire and voted against supplying more bombs for Israel to drop in Gaza.

The CEO of Apple sat right behind President Trump during his inauguration. When he needed an exemption from the tariffs, he could give Trump a call. But the farmers in Vermont who don't have Trump's number are stuck suffering from his tariffs.

Mohsen Mahdawi is in America legally. And yet he was arrested by the Trump Administration for peacefully advocating for Palestinians, something millions of Americans—including myself—have done.

Kristi Noem went around the traditional bidding process and gave a $143 million no-bid award of taxpayer funds to a company she had close ties with to produce a massive ad campaign featuring her on a horse in front of Mount Rushmore. The company had been created just days before.

Last week, Jinan Iskafi died of starvation in Gaza. She was four months old. The formula she needed to survive was just across the border. But because of the month's-long blockage of aid into Gaza, her parents couldn't get it in time.

Nobody should be terrified to go to their mailbox. But thousands of Vermonters and millions of Americans are getting notices in the mail that the health care plans they had in 2025 will be twice as expensive in 2026.

While I was in Denmark with a bipartisan delegation this weekend, President Trump threatened tariffs on countries that defy his reckless land grab of Greenland. I’m announcing that I will be introducing a resolution to block any tariffs he imposes on nations that support Greenland’s sovereignty and oppose Trump’s insane march to war.

President Trump is withholding SNAP funding. Folks in both red and blue states will go hungry. It’s totally inexcusable and completely unnecessary.

The Affordable Care Act didn’t fix every issue in our health care system. But working families are facing a cliff right now if we don't extend these tax credits. If they don't act, Republicans will force millions of people to lose their coverage.
