I’m leading a bill to ensure our service members and federal employees get the pay they have missed so far due to the shutdown. People need to pay their bills now. Simple as that. I encourage my colleagues to get behind it as we work to address the health care crisis and end this shutdown.

This Valentine's Day, I'm sharing the story of my parents, who met in France during WWII and fell in love. Their courage, toughness, and bravery have stuck with me throughout my career and inspires me to meet the challenges of today.

Trump’s Big, Bad Bill is already making it harder for families across our state to afford groceries, pay their energy bills, and receive health care – just to give billionaires a tax cut.

Access to health care is an issue that impacts all of us. We need both parties coming together in good faith if we want to address the growing health care crisis in our country.

American servicemembers and communities deserve access to safe drinking water, free of toxic PFAS chemicals. I secured language in the national defense bill to help hold Trump's Defense Department accountable for PFAS contamination at military installations all across the country.

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.

They aren’t sending their best to DOGE. A whistleblower reported to @hsgac.senate.gov that a 19-year-old staffer put Social Security numbers on an unsecured cloud database. He lost his previous job after leaking sensitive data. President Trump should immediately end this reckless operation.

Our nation’s debt is alarming, and Trump’s tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy are only making it worse. I took to the Senate floor once again to remind my Republican colleagues of the dangers we face if we do not change course – and do it soon.

Health care is a fundamental right. I stand ready to come to the table with my Republican colleagues to ensure Americans have access to quality, affordable health care coverage this year.

This Trump Administration has revoked media access over news coverage that didn't flatter the President, attacked outlets that published content that Trump doesn't like, and launched baseless investigations into Trump's perceived political enemies. Gov't censorship is a threat to all Americans.

Our parents said “we got McDonald’s at home.” Now folks can’t afford THAT either. Ground beef. Potatoes. Bread. Grocery prices jumped more in April than in 4 YEARS. What did YOU stop buying? This is Trump’s economy on your table. #TrumpsGroceryCrisis

Recent analysis released this week by KFF, the nonpartisan health research organization, reports premiums would increase 114% on average, and the people it will hit hardest are working families in rural areas like farmers and blue collar workers. #TrumpsWarOnPoorPeople Credit: @fubarpac

Glorious! Enough said ..

It is one of my favorite halls of Kyiv Picture Gallery. The gallery is housed in the former mansion of Fedir Tereshchenko (1832–1894), a Ukrainian industrialist and art collector. I visited it today to see a new exhibition. Ukraine hides so many treasures.

Are deep retrofits a good idea? We can quantify the cost of a project, the number of homes delivered, the time to delivery - but the carbon cost of demolishing instead of retrofitting isn't given a value. Until we have that, how can we decide?
