The stories of Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russian forces are haunting. With the passage of my bipartisan bill, we are helping track and reunite these children with their families. We will keep fighting for these kids.

When our veterans stepped up to serve, there was no waiting line—and there shouldn’t be one now.  Risking veterans’ access to earned care by eliminating tens of thousands of VA health care jobs is unacceptable, and our veterans deserve better. www.startribune.com/va-cuts-vete...

Love seeing members of the St. Paul Police Department, joined by special guests Santa & Mrs. Claus, visiting Children’s Minnesota to deliver toys and spread joy to patients and families.🎅🦌 www.twincities.com/2025/12/17/s...

Trump’s reckless tariffs have increased the prices of holiday gifts — costing families an extra $130 on average.   Americans shouldn’t have to pay more to give gifts this holiday season.

Turns out most Americans aren’t fans of Donald Trump jacking up costs on families in the midst of an affordability crisis.

This, as usual, is all about Trump’s ego, not the American people.

Exactly zero veterans think the problem with the VA health care system is that there are *too many* staff providing care. But Trump's VA has now decided it won't fill thousands of open positions. We need answers about what this will mean for veterans.

My bipartisan bill with Senator Grassley was signed into law. We cannot allow children to be used as hostages in war. www.northernnewsnow.com/2025/12/19/b...

After years of fighting alongside Julie Paidar, whose husband, firefighter Mike Paidar, died of leukemia in 2020, we finally passed the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act to ensure the families of firefighters who die from service-related cancers get the support they deserve.

It was wonderful to join Senator Coons to thank our U.S. Capitol Police officers this holiday season, including with some cookies! I enjoyed speaking with Chief Sullivan and the dedicated men and women who keep members, visitors & staff safe every day.

Families of firefighters who die from service-related cancer deserve the same benefits as others lost in the line of duty. My bipartisan Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act makes sure that happens. It just passed the Senate and is being signed into law by the President today.

Brendan Carr is using the FCC to target the President’s political opponents, launching investigations into every major network except Fox. This isn't enforcing the law—it's retaliation. We must protect free speech and keep our independent agencies independent.

I just returned from a hearing to conduct oversight of the FCC.   We should be focusing on expanding broadband access.    But Chairman Carr has used his position to threaten free speech.   I asked whether attacking political speech is OK. His answer is alarming.

Just a few years ago, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr defended political speech, saying it must not be censored. But now he is using his position to target people for what they say on TV and investigating every major broadcast network except Fox.

The CFPB has helped tens of thousands of Nevadans fight predatory lenders, corporate fraud, and unfair business practices. Now, Trump and Russ Vought want to take the cops off the beat. I'm working with my Senate Banking Committee colleagues to stand up for Nevada consumers.

Unemployment is exploding under Trump, yet he gives himself an “A+++++” on his handling of the economy?!? His delusions couldn’t be further from the reality of working people.

Republicans voted to make life cheaper for the ultra-wealthy in more ways than one, but won't vote to make health care costs more affordable for working Americans. How sad and messed up is that?

Face the facts here. Republicans aren’t serious about health care. Republicans have never been serious about health care. They have no plan. Not even a ‘concept of a plan.’ All they know is what they’re against: Medicare, Medicaid and Affordable Care.

Victims of Epstein's abuse—like 17-year-old Danielle Bensky, who was coerced with false promises of help for her mom’s brain tumor—deserve justice and transparency. They deserve the full release of these files, without redactions to protect Trump or other influential people.

Americans shouldn't lose the Child Tax Credit or Earned Income Tax Credit just because a storm or flood wiped out their income. My new bipartisan Working Families Disaster Tax Relief Act prevents families from being punished for circumstances beyond their control.

AI has the potential to significantly disrupt our democracy by misleading voters with deepfake videos. We need common-sense rules of the road on AI, not to eliminate the few safeguards Americans have at the state level.

The last thing our veterans need is FEWER people making sure they get the health care they need. This is a grossly short-sighted decision by Secretary Collins. We need answers and accountability.

Ahmed al Ahmed is an incredible hero who risked his life for others during the mass shootings of our Jewish brothers and sisters in Australia.

Because Congressional Republicans voted against extending the health care tax credits, families are seeing their premiums double or triple. Now they're considering junk plans, going without coverage, or delaying starting a business.

Warnock: "If you live in Claxton, Georgia, if you live in rural America, even if you have wealth and resources and you're having a stroke and there's no ICU within a reasonable distance because of these draconian cuts, your life is in peril. We can do better than this."

Trump talks a big game when it comes to supporting our troops, but in reality, he’s willing to eliminate nurses and doctors that help veterans every day. That’s pretty shameful.

Tragic news about the loss of Rob and Michele Reiner. They were a source of light and good in movies, TV and public advocacy. Many happy memories of spending time with Rob and Michele, including during his many appearances on Bill Maher.

John, Abigail, and I want to wish the entire Jewish community a happy Hanukkah. It is especially important to gather together after the horror in Australia.

Nobody wants to think about skyrocketing prices during the holidays. But this year, if you’re buying gifts for your loved ones and see that they are more expensive than last year, thank Trump’s tariff taxes.

No parent should ever have to choose between medicine for their kid or groceries for their family. But since Republicans voted 13 times to let the health care tax credits expire, millions of American families could be forced to do just that

A horrific terrorist attack at Bondi Beach targeting Jewish Australians celebrating Hanukkah. My heart is with the victims, their families and the entire Jewish community. We must stand against antisemitism and hate in all forms.

Did our vets refuse to give back medals to melt into gold bars/coins/ballroom sconces for Trump? Truly the worst vets’ Christmas present ever.

27% of farmers, including Aaron from Polk County, Iowa, are on the health insurance marketplace. Because Republicans have voted against extending the health care tax credits 13 times, these farmers could see their premiums double or even triple.

Congressional Republicans know Americans are furious about skyrocketing premiums and the nearly $2,000 Trump tariff tax hitting every family—yet they’re more worried about Trump attacking them than about doing the right thing.

I’m honored to receive the Hedy Lamarr Pioneer Award from the Women’s Tech & Telecom Partnership.   Hedy Lamarr was both a brilliant actress AND a technological innovator whose frequency-hopping invention laid the foundation for WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth.

I just voted YES on extending the ACA tax credits and preventing health premiums from doubling next year. I’ve voted to protect these credits over a dozen times because Georgians can’t afford this. Sadly, Republicans in DC keep voting it down.

Turns out the Grinch didn’t need to steal Christmas…Trump’s affordability crisis handled it for him.

It has been nearly 30 years since Congress passed Section 230 and gave platforms immunity from lawsuits. Our children deserve a safer internet and tech companies need to be held accountable for what happens on their platforms.

Democrats have been willing to negotiate. We’ve offered compromises to extend the health care tax credits so millions do not see their insurance premiums double. Every time, congressional Republicans have turned us down and refused to stand up for their own constituents.

This is the wrong approach—and most likely illegal.   As I explained in the NYT this week, we need a strong federal safety standard, but we should not remove the few protections Americans currently have from the downsides of AI: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/o...

Republicans in Congress have now voted THIRTEEN times against extending the health care tax credits. That’s THIRTEEN votes to allow premiums to spike for millions. Americans are already speaking out across the country. They want action—and that momentum will only grow.

TODAY we are voting to prevent millions of Americans from seeing their premiums double by extending the health care tax credits. Americans will see if Congressional Republicans stand with them or vote for skyrocketing costs.

The truth: inflation is up because of President Trump’s tariffs.

Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs. President Trump is calling affordability a “hoax.” But Americans know the truth: They can read their bills and see their premium increases.

President Trump's repeated wholesale attacks on Congresswoman Omar and Minnesota's Somali-American community must stop. This hate and division has no place in our politics.

Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires... But for the rest of America?   Higher utility bills. Higher grocery bills. Historically high mortgage rates. And skyrocketing health insurance bills.

My heart goes out to the families and community members affected by the fire at the Masjid Hamza Al-Mahmood mosque and school in Prior Lake. I’m glad to hear there are no reported injuries and grateful for the firefighters and other first responders who took action.

More and more businesses are asking for relief from Trump’s tariff taxes because they raise costs and undermine their ability to succeed. We must end these reckless across-the-board tariffs.

Every American deserves a path to good-paying jobs. That’s why I introduced the bipartisan Skills Investment Act—to expand tax-advantaged education savings accounts so workers can access training, apprenticeships & professional development needed to succeed in today's economy.

Donald Trump ran on lowering costs. Now he refuses to negotiate on the simplest and easiest way to ensure millions of Americans don’t face skyrocketing insurance costs. All he has to do is extend existing credits to prevent massive upheaval. He refuses to do the bare minimum.
