This Veterans Day, we honor those who put on the uniform to keep our country safe. But our heroes deserve more than applause once a year—they deserve to be honored every day, not with layoffs or cuts jeopardizing their care. We owe it to them to do right by those who served.
It’s just plain stupid to encourage our most experienced controllers to quit, given the job’s rigorous training requirements and the shortage of controllers. We should be trying to retain our most experienced controllers, not slandering them and pushing them to leave their careers early.
JUST IN: With air traffic control system that was straining before the shutdown, Trump urges any controllers who sicked out to quit, perhaps ahead of the upcoming holidays
Trump and Republicans refuse to fight for American families, but I refuse to give up on them. I simply cannot vote to do nothing to help protect them from Trump’s vindictive efforts in exchange for a vague promise from the least trustworthy Republican party in our nation’s history.
If Trump believes war is necessary, he must bring his case to Congress and prove why it's worth turning more moms and dads into Gold Star parents.   Let Congress debate. Let us vote. It's our duty.
Time and again, Trump's agents are using excessive force that “shocks the conscience.” Just this week, they violently tore a teacher—with legal work authorization—from a preschool as children watched on in horror. I'm demanding investigations. Trump has gone too far.

Today, I voted in support of a resolution that would force Trump to get congressional approval before using military force against Venezuela. Senate Republicans blocked it—ceding their constitutional authority to Trump. Once again, they bent the knee to a wanna-be king.
This judge ordered the Trump Administration to release all its SNAP funding by Friday because, in his own words, "Children are immediately at risk of going hungry." How sick do you have to be to appeal that order? Our President straight up wants kids to starve.
Politico: Judge orders Trump administration to pay full SNAP benefits: The Trump administration is appealing the decision, which requires officials to send the money to millions of food stamp recipients by Friday.
It's Day 36 of the Republican shutdown, the longest in American history. All because the GOP refuse to work with Democrats to prevent families from paying hundreds extra per month for health care. And it appears voters agree: This is a colossal failure in leadership.
NEW: Senator Durbin and I are demanding that Kristi Noem put a stop to DHS arresting people for filming agents attacking their neighbors. How dare DHS call foul play while it uses taxpayer dollars to record propaganda videos? It is legal to record. It's called accountability.
In a letter to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the senators demand that she keep federal agents from arresting people who are simply exercising “a core First Amendment right.” trib.al/6Pwxatd
As someone who grew up counting every last SNAP dollar, this is intentionally cruel. Trump has the money to provide full SNAP benefits during the Republican shutdown—and he's choosing to let families struggle. Hungry children deserve full bellies. Not crumbs.
BREAKING: The Trump administration says SNAP will be partially funded after judges’ rulings required the food aid program to continue.
Example #3: When Daniel Montenegro tried to film a Border Patrol raid at a Home Depot, agents tackled him, injured his back and falsely accused him of using tire spikes to attack vehicles. They’re assaulting citizens for documenting their violence. We need investigations. Now.
An excerpt of Daniel Montenegro’s story
Open enrollment starts this week—and millions of Americans are finding out just how much their premiums have skyrocketed after Republicans let ACA tax credits expire. Make no mistake: the GOP owns this crisis. They had every opportunity to prevent this fallout and are still choosing not to.
Earlier this month, the Administration publicly stated it had billions in funding to continue SNAP during the Republican shutdown. Then Trump decided he'd rather let millions of Americans starve. Today, two federal courts reminded him that it's not his choice. It’s the law.
