Democrats fight for the working class, while Republicans prioritize tax cuts for corporations and the wealthiest Americans. Your vote shapes our future — make it count in the upcoming election.

Our gun violence epidemic is a uniquely American issue. Military-style assault weapons don't belong on the streets of our nation.

Access to high-speed internet strengthens our economy, opens doors of opportunity for our kids, and keeps us connected to our loved ones. That's why broadband expansion has been one of my top priorities in the Senate this term, and I'm proud of the progress we're making so far.

Lowering prescription drug costs. Capping insulin at $35 a month for seniors. Giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices. Helping lower energy bills. President @JoeBiden is continuing to help lower costs for families.

The Inflation Reduction Act has served as a cornerstone for the American economy by creating jobs, investing in the middle class, and bringing back American manufacturing. Yet, no Republican member of Congress voted for the historic piece of legislation.

I’m glad President Biden signed my bipartisan National Guard and Reservists Debt Relief Extension Act into law. It’s always a good day in America when we work together to fulfill our duty to our service members, and now more of them will have access to some financial relief.

Once again Donald Trump is saying hateful remarks against immigrants and he’s saying them repeatedly. There’s no need to “clean up” a nation of immigrants, and both parties should condemn using the language of dictators against our immigrant communities.

At the start of the invasion of Ukraine, Russia had 3,500 tanks. It lost 2,200 of them, forcing them to resort to Soviet-era machinery. This is what our aid to Ukraine is accomplishing. We absolutely must renew our aid in the new year.

Radical right-wing judges and elected anti-abortion officials are handling the fate of mifepristone, an essential abortion pill. No one should have the ability to strip women of the right to make their own reproductive health care decisions.

Our foundational freedoms are on the line as extremist so-called “leaders” work to ban abortion, endanger women's lives, and criminalize doctors. President @JoeBiden and I will continue to fight for the right of every woman to make decisions about her own body.

Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez's life was cut short due to deficient medical care. She was only eight years old. Our country’s health care services must pride themselves in believing that every life is precious, including our immigrants.

It’s outrageous for someone to need to go to court to get an abortion. It’s outrageous for someone to need to leave their state to get an abortion. It’s outrageous that MAGA Republicans want to make even THAT impossible by banning abortion nationwide.

Putin's tyranny poses a clear threat to Ukraine's freedom. We cannot walk away from Ukraine in this moment of war and vulnerability.
