The impact on the US economy is getting more acute. There are more and more Americans who are unable to make their lives work because we have seen a 30% increase in gas prices since this war began.

We should not fail to note how extraordinary it is that our Senate Republican leadership has declined to do any oversight of a war that is costing billions of dollars every week.

Donald Trump's Department of Justice should spend more time going after dangerous criminals and less time wasting taxpayer dollars by attacking states that don’t support his inhumane and illegal mass deportation agenda. Connecticut remains…

I think it would just be better if you told them to shut this thing down, because it just smacks of corruption.

This is a PAC run by acquaintances and allies of yours. Your face is plastered all over its literature.

Why side with the industry here? Why not side with patients and patient advocates who have been asking for just basic minimum staffing ratios in nursing homes to make sure the patients get the care that they need.

We have an epidemic of low quality care in our nursing homes today, increasingly because we have a lot of for profit operators, a lot of private equity owned nursing homes today, it's a real issue.

You should not be willing to fund an agency that just doesn't care about the law, at scale.

Let's just be clear -- once Republicans have taken the lid off this jar, there's no putting it back.

We can't fund that kind of agency. We would be violating our oath of office, all of us, to fund an agency that just doesn't care about the law.

The cameras aren't in Minneapolis like they were, but 17 people have died in custody in just the last month.

It is time for my Republican colleagues to join us in one of these resolutions, because it is so clear that if this war continues, even for another day, the reputational cost to the United States is potentially unrecoverable.

The costs of keeping this war going one more day are just too high, both in reputational cost to the United States but also in the cost to lives and the pocketbooks of millions of Americans.

I get it that we have come to kind of normalize this kind of incompetence, this kind of planned, executed chaos, but we are on the floor week after week asking our colleagues to end this war because this is an embarrassment to the United…

Caregivers shouldn’t lose out on Social Security benefits because they step away from the workforce to care for a loved one. Caregiving is work, and it’s time we start treating it that way.

Such facilities are likely to strain essential local public services like your community’s fire department, 911 call center, ambulance services, and hospital services.

The potential for a serious humanitarian catastrophe is very real and, as a result, these warehouse detention facilities will almost certainly be closed by a Democratic president or Congress.

Democrats oppose the warehousing of humans in former office spaces and will make defunding these facilities a major priority when we take back control of Congress.

I mean, it's like black is white. It's a 35% cut you’re proposing.

No, this budget proposes a 35% reduction to the Office of Civil Rights. So that's my final question.

Do you know how many cases got resolved positively for families in Connecticut in 2025? Zero. Not a single child got a positive resolution, got help from the Department of Education having filed a disability claim in 2025. That is…

President Trump likes to talk about law and order, but his administration is pulling out all the stops to make it easier for criminals to get their hands on guns. These new rules are just a gun lobby wish list printed on ATF letterhead and…

Republicans are already pulling out every trick in the book to rig our elections and now, the Supreme Court’s right-wing majority has paved the way for them to deny Black voters representation. This court’s disregard for the will of…

We write you today to encourage the Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs to take up zip code legislation that addresses a number of communities in our states.

As we head into the summer and the price of everything for American consumers gets higher and higher - their summer travel, their plane tickets, their clothing, their groceries - there is only one person to blame: Donald Trump. And there…
