First thing this morning

Today’s the big deadline. After midnight tonight, our numbers will be locked in and made public. And right now, we’re still short of our goal. I’ve been working tirelessly to lead fights in the Senate – defending voting rights, pushing back on tariffs that raise costs, and working to protect clima…

Before tomorrow

I won’t sugarcoat it. With just one day left before our FEC deadline, we’re not where we need to be. And that concerns me – because this report will show whether we have the strength to keep taking on the fights that matter. I’ve been on the Senate floor pushing back against the SAVE America Act,…

Help defend Washington’s climate progress →

The climate crisis isn’t slowing down - and I want to be clear about what’s at stake right now. In just over a year, the Trump administration has rolled back key environmental protections and gutted funding for climate programs that help keep our communities safe and informed. Washington has long …

We’re coming up on our first quarterly FEC deadline of the year tomorrow night, and we’re still short of where we need to be.

In about 48 hours

I wanted to send you one quick note before we start the week. From skyrocketing costs to unaffordable health care, reckless trade policy, and blatant voter suppression, it’s clear that American families can’t afford the misguided agenda from Trump and the GOP majorities. I’ve spent every week figh…

I need to know

I’ll be direct. I’ve been on the Senate floor speaking out against the SAVE America Act, and I’m not going to let it move forward without a fight. But the more visible this fight becomes, the more outside groups and megadonors look for ways to target leaders who are standing up. Before the weeken…

Maria’s call to action

We’ve seen what happens when the GOP is in charge and frankly, we can’t afford much more of it. Maria has been hard at work fighting their dangerous agenda and confronting the toughest challenges facing Washington families: surging health insurance premiums, rising out-of-pocket costs, and a part…

Don’t let them undermine our elections

Absurd and dangerous

President Trump continues to paint a grim picture of our country in which voter fraud is “rampant” – but it’s just not true. The reality is that our state-run election systems work, and they aren’t finding significant voter fraud. Yet, the administration and Congressional Republicans are pushing t…

More baseless claims

Instead of presenting a plan to lower costs for Americans (as he promised to do), Trump used his State of the Union address to spread more baseless claims about our voting system. He even called upon Congress to pass the SAVE AMERICA Act because "cheating is rampant in our elections." Despite inde…

One page won’t cut it

After a year of failing to lower costs like he promised to do on day one, Trump finally released a plan to (supposedly) tackle skyrocketing health care costs – and it’s a whopping one page long. That’s right, his rudimentary proposal to make health care affordable is just over 300 words. Here are s…
