Only in Trump land does the Pentagon fork over $200 million to Elon Musk for an antisemitic chatbot.

I am devastated by this morning's unimaginable tragedy in Fall River, and I am sending my prayers and support to the victims' families. I am grateful for the first responders who ran bravely into the fire to save lives, and I wish all those injured a full and fast recovery.

Administrator Zeldin is right. Americans want answers about the dangerous chemicals getting pumped into the atmosphere every single day and what they’re doing to our weather. Are you looking into this?.

Americans have questions about geoengineering and contrails. They expect honesty and transparency from their government when seeking answers. For years, people who asked questions in good faith were dismissed, even vilified by the media and their own government. This ends today.

Instead of supporting America’s small businesses, Trump and Loeffler are trying to gut the SBA’s workforce. I'm introducing the SOS Act to prohibit reductions in force in offices that provide vital services and programs to small businesses and entrepreneurs. No more games.

Climate change supercharges a host of deadly threats: extreme heat waves and weather disasters, toxic air pollution, and more. Our resolution urges the Trump administration to fight this public health crisis and strengthen our health system against climate change—not slash it.

The public deserves transparency—not backroom deals. That’s why @SenatorLujan and I are calling on the FCC to hold a public vote on the Paramount-Skydance merger.

Prime Day and every day, Amazon makes millions in profits off the backs of workers who don’t make enough to pay for food or health care. Bezos gets richer while workers get hurt. Workers > billionaires. Solidarity > sales.

Black women earn just 66 cents for every dollar earned by white men. This is a systemic failure. It’s a theft of labor, time, and dignity--stolen for generations. Pay Black women what they are owed. No more delays. No more excuses.

Here are some facts:. 1. In the past week, climate-fueled floods killed more than 100 people in Texas. 2. The National Weather Service at NOAA has been under relentless attack by the Trump admin. 3. I asked Trump's NOAA nominee if he supports cuts to its budget. He said yes.

The Trump administration’s love affair with coal is just like the Big Ugly Bill the Republicans just passed: If it hikes your energy bill, puts your health at risk, and would be modern in the 1800s, they’re going to fight for it at all costs.

America's capacity to reclaim its leadership in global energy relies on our ability to support a domestic supply chain—starting with COAL and CRITICAL MINERALS.

When a storm hits, an alert from public media station may be the only warning rural communities get. Cutting this community resource puts lives at risk. Tonight, I made it clear: public media is a lifeline—we must fund it, not gut it.

Today on the floor, I made it clear: voting to confirm Bill Briggs as Deputy Administrator of the SBA means putting Trump’s interests ahead of small businesses. The SBA needs a leader who stands with entrepreneurs and employees, not Wall Street.
