It's hard to overstate the scope of Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger’s victory. I congratulate and thank the candidates, their staffs and volunteers, and all whose tireless efforts made this happen. My statement on Virginia's historic election results: https://t.co/7HXmtwYRyS

Hepatitis B vaccination has been recommended for all newborns since 1991. It led to a 99% reduction in pediatric infections and liver diseases caused by the virus have dropped dramatically. This is a terrible decision. Babies could develop liver infection or die as a result.

ACA tax credits expire at the end of the month, and Republicans still have no plan – but Democrats do. Our discharge petition would force a vote to stop health care costs from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. We just need a few Republicans to get this done.

President Trump is setting up two systems in this country. For the rich, they get tax cuts, presidential pardons, and exemptions from tariffs. For everyone else, you get your health care taken away, your SNAP benefits taken away, and you get to pay for his tariffs.

Hi @DHSgov, We’re the folks who reported the facts you’re now dismissing. So just a reminder: We found 170+ cases of immigration agents detaining U.S. citizens this year. In dozens of cases, charges have never been filed or the cases were dismissed. Among the detained: nearly

Stop fear-mongering. ICE does NOT arrest or deport U.S. citizens. If a U.S. citizen is arrested, it is because they have obstructed or assaulted law enforcement. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are illegally in the U.S.—NOT their skin color,

When Trump fails to fund science and attacks the civil servants who drive discovery and innovation – our brightest minds leave for better opportunities. That means medical cures and breakthrough technologies might never be discovered. Trump's brain drain hurts us all.

Apparently the Trump Administration thinks the trillions they spent on tax cuts for the wealthy wasn't enough -- now they're planning another huge tax windfall for the biggest corporations in the country. @SenWarren and I are leading the charge against this.

Racism should never be a barrier to lawful immigration or naturalization, but that’s what the Trump Administration is doing. People who followed every rule to earn citizenship are seeing it ripped away simply because they are not white. It's just wrong. https://t.co/P5VMtltW5z

Welcoming new Americans taking the oath after the arduous process of seeking citizenship is one of my favorite things. It's a wonderful experience that helps you see why people have looked to America with hope for over two centuries, and reminds you what makes our country great.

Everyday Americans continue to struggle with higher costs while Trump and his wealthy friends continue to benefit from backroom deals. It's a pay-to-play administration built to further enrich the well connected at the expense of everyone else.

The Inspector General report found that Hegseth put our troops at risk. He thinks it “exonerates” him and makes him look good. This man’s failure and stupidity puts Americans at risk and he would never have gotten near a job this important in any competent administration.

This is just racism, and Trump's racist language is being coupled with racist policy to block people including many vetted under this administration who pursued legal status and citizenship the way they were supposed to, just because they aren't white. It's awful and immoral.
