I’m heading to the Senate floor right now to speak through midnight to make it clear: we cannot confirm Russell Vought to the Office of Management and Budget. Tune in to C-Span and find out why…
The morning has arrived and he’s still speaking.
Headed to the Senate floor to join Senator Booker in his marathon speech to stand up for people of this country. Thanks Cory!
Just received this encouraging update from Senator Hoffman's wife, Yvette, on their recovery in the hospital. Grateful for their progress and will continue to keep them in our prayers.
The Hortman family helped raise and train dogs to partner with veterans. One of the many reasons we will miss Melissa and Mark.
I just got off the Senate floor where I joined Senator Booker who has been speaking since last night. His words remind us: this is not a left or right moment—it’s a right or wrong moment. We must stand up and fight back.
Shutting down USAID is not about efficiency—it’s about undermining America’s global leadership. USAID counters extremism, fights diseases, and creates more markets for U.S. exports. This is reckless and dangerous.
Huge news - appeals court rules that a majority of the President’s tariffs are illegal. The President is wreaking havoc on our economy, and he is breaking the law to do it.
We must right this ship. We need sane trade policy again.
The sunlight through the stained glass windows at Jimmy Carter’s funeral in the National Cathedral. 🙏
Cancer is a common cause of line-of-duty death for firefighters. We worked across the aisle to reauthorize the Firefighter Cancer Registry so we can improve research into health and safety standards for these heroes who put their lives on the line for us every day.
The Fed was designed to be insulated from politics to maintain the stability and credibility of our financial system.
The President is breaking the law, abusing his power, setting a dangerous precedent, and undermining our economy.
What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.
You can’t fire yourself out of a bad economy.
You can’t fudge the numbers to convince the American people that everything is ok when every day they are feeling these rising costs.
THREE EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. It’s in our Constitution and at the very heart of our democracy. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch. It’s the job of judges to determine if the actions of the Administration violate our laws. Full. Stop. That’s how our democracy works.
The President may claim it's Liberation Day, but the American people know it’s National Sales Tax Day.
And in the Senate, we are fighting back against these reckless tariffs.
Met the legendary Willie Nelson tonight at Farm Aid. For 40 years, he has championed family farmers and tirelessly advocated for our rural communities. And he’s still going strong at 92!
My bipartisan legislation to recognize the Bald Eagle as our national bird just passed Congress and is now headed to the President’s desk to be signed into law! 🦅
The courts have ordered the administration to use its contingency fund for SNAP—and have made clear it can use its transfer authorities to fully fund SNAP.
It is not enough to do the bare minimum—they should do everything they can to ensure Americans put food on the table.
Starting yesterday, notifications of higher premiums are being sent to 90,000 Minnesotans.
I heard from a small business owner in Eagan whose premium will increase by *at least* $450 a month. That’s $5,400 a year.
That’s why we’re fighting to extend the health care tax credit.
This bill is a Big Beautiful Betrayal of the middle class. It adds trillions in debt, raises interest rates, threatens rural hospitals, and puts health care out of reach for millions.
Americans know it’s a bad bill, because it is. We must stand against it.
Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly.
And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.
Breaking news: New York jury finds Ticketmaster/Live Nation to be an anticompetitive monopoly.
FINALLY. A jury says the truth about what nearly everyone in Washington keeps denying.
Now we need remedies that help fans & lower prices, unlike DOJ meaningless “settlement.”
For the sixth month in a row, U.S. manufacturing activity shrank in August.
One manufacturer said they’re just trying to survive.
Didn’t the President say his tariffs would bring those jobs back to America and boost manufacturing?

“I represent 67,000 pediatricians across the country. … Let's be perfectly clear, this bill will cause devastating impacts to children. And while children only represent 22% of our population, they represent 100% of the future”. - American Academy of Pediatrics President Dr. Susan Kressly
First, there were glitches logging in to the Social Security website. Now, millions of Americans have received incorrect messages that their payments have stopped.
This administration is making it harder for millions of Americans to access their hard-earned benefits.
