Last week, @RepRaskin and @SenBlumenthal held a join spotlight forum on how the Live Nation-Ticketmaster monopoly is making live music events more expensive and inaccessible. Witnesses banded tog...

Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov says American diplomats should leave Ukraine—to avoid their blood thirsty bombs. In Ukraine now, I’m seeing firsthand brave American diplomats who refuse to be cowe...

On the roads this Memorial Day weekend remember—slow down & move over. When you see a construction worker, a first responder, or a Good Samaritan, changing lanes can protect others & save lives.

In Trump’s America gas prices are skyrocketing. Hardworking people like Jessica shouldn’t have to worry about having the gas to drop their kids off at school or get to their jobs. I’m fighting to l...

Last night I joined @thebriefingwithpsaki to discuss Trump’s $1.8B slush fund—using taxpayer dollars to pay violent January 6 insurrectionists, condoning & rewarding political violence.

As Trump & his Supreme Court launch a two-front attack on our democracy, we must act now to preserve fair & free elections & protect Americans’ voting rights.

Pathetic puppets—Trump judicial nominees admit to rehearsing & practicing with the White House their evasive, identical responses to my questions. No independence. No integrity.

Trump’s VA has eliminated tens of thousands of doctors, nurses & other health care positions amid historic staffing losses. I confronted Secretary Collins over these staffing cuts that undermine ve...

Ranking Members @RepRaskin and @SenBlumenthal held a spotlight forum calling out the Trump DOJ for their fraudulent settlement with Live Nation and Ticketmaster that allows them to continue abusing...

Canned, rehearsed answers repeated again & again. Trump’s judicial nominees show no original thought just sycophantic loyalty & rote rhetoric.

Republicans are seemingly fine giving payouts to convicted child predators. During today’s markup they blocked my proposal to prevent the Jan. 6 slush fund from going to insurrectionists who sexual...

I offered an amendment to provide more protection to places of worship like the Islamic Center that was viciously, tragically attacked. Republicans resoundingly rejected it. I will continue to figh...

Ticketmaster - Live Nation has been found in effect guilty by a federal jury of predatory practices that victimize concert goers, artists, & venues. The right remedy now is to break up the company,...

Trump’s pet projects are a recipe for disastrous waste. The billions being thrown at the President’s ego-driven boondoggles could be spent on bringing down costs for housing, health care, education...

Trump is shortchanging VA police officers with pay downgrades & staff cuts. I’m introducing legislation to protect them—along with other VA staff, veterans & their families.

Sen. BLUMENTHAL: You had Zuckerberg on the stand. Attorney: Yes. Blumenthal: He denied Instagram’s addictive? Attorney: Yes. Blumenthal: You showed internal documents that he’s lying? Attorney...

A massive boon to Big Tech—Trump rolling back a rule that stops it from targeting & scamming. I led the Senate floor effort to reinstate this consumer safeguard—voted down by Republicans.

With skyrocketing energy prices, American consumers need relief. Families deserve money back in their pockets—yet the Trump Administration’s top energy official sympathizes with the oil & gas indus...

A product that does devastating harm. Executives that know it, deny it, & do nothing—preferring to profit. That was Big Tobacco’s business model. Now it’s Big Tech’s. I helped lead AG’s suing Big T...

No Flowers, No Chocolates—Pass KOSA. A Mother’s Day message from moms who’ve lost children because of Big Tech’s abhorrent, addictive tactics. Deeply courageous.
