Yes‼️ It’s long past time we make it easier for new moms to travel with breastmilk and what they need to feed their babies.

REMINDER: Republicans voted against Democrats' cap on insulin costs for patients on Medicare—and now they’re trying to repeal it, which would once again force seniors to pay as much as $400/month for this critical medicine.

I agree with @POTUS and these 17 world leaders: Hamas must take the deal currently on the table to bring about an immediate ceasefire and the release of dozens of hostages who they’ve held for 200+ days while helping alleviate the suffering of innocent civilians in Gaza.

It's a relief this got done—but let's not forget why this had to happen in the first place... Why the Arizona House even had to try *three separate times* to pass a bill that would repeal a 160-year-old near-total abortion ban... Trump. Trump is the reason why.

JUST IN: Arizona state House passes a bill that would repeal the near-total ban on abortion from 1864, after several failed attempts. The bill now goes to the state Senate.

The Flint Water Crisis is one of the worst environmental injustices in our nation’s history. 10 years later, my legislation in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is working to replace lead pipes, deliver clean water and help ensure this kind of tragedy never happens again.

You're pregnant and scared. You're having a medical emergency. Your health depends on an abortion. Whether or not ER physicians can provide you with one is up for debate at the Supreme Court. That's where we're at in post-Roe America. And it's Donald Trump's fault.

BREAKING: Airlines will now have to pay you when they mess up. The Department of Transportation has issued a new rule requiring airlines to give you an automatic refund if your flight is canceled or delayed or if they lose your bags. It’s a game changer for U.S. travel.

👏 Huge news! It's past time airlines treat us fairly when they don’t deliver the level of service they promise. This new rule by @SecretaryPete and the Biden Administration will help crack down on hidden fees and get folks an automatic refund if a trip is cancelled or delayed.

Our department just issued rules to protect people from hidden airline fees and to require airlines to give passengers automatic cash refunds when owed. No more having to fend for yourself and jump through hoops to get your money back—airlines will have to automatically do this.

NEWS: With this new agreement, the Biden Administration is making it easier for federally-employed military spouses to work remotely and take their jobs with them when their families are called to serve overseas. It's the right thing to do.

Keeping O'Hare strong means keeping Chicago strong.   It was great to celebrate the groundbreaking of @fly2ohare 's T3 improvements today—an investment made possible in part by the $90 million @SenatorDurbin and I helped secure in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
