Pope Francis' leadership transcended boundaries and reminded us to act only with kindness, patience, and love. I’m inspired to follow his example and remain steadfast in my pursuit of progress. May he rest in peace.
Pope Francis' funeral is set to begin, with tens of thousands of mourners expected to gather in St. Peter’s Square. Follow AP for live updates.
Senseless violence in Kashmir like what what we saw this week brings us no closer to peace and costs parents their children, sons and daughters their fathers and mothers. I utterly condemn this attack, and every victim and their families remain in Annie’s and my prayers.
Trump issued this statement for National Volunteer Week just days after he decimated @americorps.bsky.social. Nothing says “thank you for your service” like firing you while you're working on disaster relief efforts in Pennsylvania. ⁣

Trump's and Musk's attack on AmeriCorps is a part of a trend: going after the programs supporting the Helpers who come to people's aid in their greatest moments of need at the lowest points in their lives. My new op-ed in @USnews.com makes it clear: America is better than that.
In Senator Chris Coons' @coons.senate.gov impassioned plea to save AmeriCorps from DOGE, he cites that 'studies show that for every dollar we spend on AmeriCorps, the program returns $17 in benefits to society, our economy and the federal government.' New in Opinion: buff.ly/o7ShVn7
The data is clear—American companies can't plan or invest, consumers and businesses are paying more, and our trading partners are retaliating. President Trump’s reckless tariffs are damaging our economy.
I’m still reviewing Secretary Rubio’s reorganization of the State Department, but I already know one thing: he needs to come to Congress and testify about how this plan would help us compete with China, and make America safer and stronger.
The church and the world will miss his welcoming leadership and his engagement on questions of justice, climate change, migration, income inequality, and reconciliation. I join with many around the world in gratitude for his ministry and in praying for his eternal rest.
I was struck by both his words and his actions when he visited the US in 2015. He called on us to overcome our political differences in service of the poor and the planet, and while in the US, he met with migrants, the homeless, and the imprisoned to show us how to live out Christ’s teachings.
Pope Francis has been an inspiring faith leader whose transformative papacy has shown the Spirit of Christ through his humility, his open-hearted engagement with the world, his tireless advocacy for peace, and his focus on the poor and the marginalized.
This week, I’m part of a bipartisan delegation to Taiwan and East Asia with my Senate colleagues Pete Ricketts and Ted Budd. Though we've arrived at an unprecedented time in our nation’s relationship with China, we are here to remind our friends that both parties in Congress stand firmly with them.

My prayers are with the Florida State community and the brave law enforcement and first responders on the scene. Americans, and particularly our kids, have suffered from the threat of mass shootings for far too long. We can never accept this as normal.
Health care shouldn't be a luxury reserved for the fortunate few. Medicaid is a vital lifeline that makes our communities healthier while ultimately reducing costs for everyone, which is why I will always fight to protect this essential program.
President Trump’s alarming attempted destruction of #AmeriCorps will damage communities across the nation. I am working with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to press the Trump administration to reverse these unjustified cuts and restore a valued program.
NEW: The Trump administration has just placed the entire AmeriCorps agency (except a few senior leaders) on administrative leave
If chronic disease is an existential threat to our nation, why is RFK Jr. slashing research programs that could help of millions of Americans treat and prevent these very diseases? You can't solve a crisis by destroying the tools needed to fight it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/h...
