It has been nearly 30 years since Congress passed Section 230 and gave platforms immunity from lawsuits.
Our children deserve a safer internet and tech companies need to be held accountable for what happens on their platforms.
Democrats have been willing to negotiate.
We’ve offered compromises to extend the health care tax credits so millions do not see their insurance premiums double.
Every time, congressional Republicans have turned us down and refused to stand up for their own constituents.
This is the wrong approach—and most likely illegal.
As I explained in the NYT this week, we need a strong federal safety standard, but we should not remove the few protections Americans currently have from the downsides of AI: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/09/o...
Republicans in Congress have now voted THIRTEEN times against extending the health care tax credits.
That’s THIRTEEN votes to allow premiums to spike for millions.
Americans are already speaking out across the country. They want action—and that momentum will only grow.
TODAY we are voting to prevent millions of Americans from seeing their premiums double by extending the health care tax credits.
Americans will see if Congressional Republicans stand with them or vote for skyrocketing costs.
Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs.
President Trump is calling affordability a “hoax.”
But Americans know the truth: They can read their bills and see their premium increases.
President Trump's repeated wholesale attacks on Congresswoman Omar and Minnesota's Somali-American community must stop. This hate and division has no place in our politics.

Of course Trump would give the economy an A+ after he rigged it to enrich him, his family and billionaires...
But for the rest of America?
Higher utility bills.
Higher grocery bills.
Historically high mortgage rates.
And skyrocketing health insurance bills.
My heart goes out to the families and community members affected by the fire at the Masjid Hamza Al-Mahmood mosque and school in Prior Lake. I’m glad to hear there are no reported injuries and grateful for the firefighters and other first responders who took action.
More and more businesses are asking for relief from Trump’s tariff taxes because they raise costs and undermine their ability to succeed.
We must end these reckless across-the-board tariffs.
Every American deserves a path to good-paying jobs.
That’s why I introduced the bipartisan Skills Investment Act—to expand tax-advantaged education savings accounts so workers can access training, apprenticeships & professional development needed to succeed in today's economy.

Donald Trump ran on lowering costs.
Now he refuses to negotiate on the simplest and easiest way to ensure millions of Americans don’t face skyrocketing insurance costs.
All he has to do is extend existing credits to prevent massive upheaval. He refuses to do the bare minimum.

Sen. Ossoff: "The Trump Administration should reverse its chaotic, incompetent, and harmful trade policies and tariff wars that are driving up prices and damaging businesses."
AI holds immense promise, but it also enables scams and deepfakes that harm Americans. States are leading with responsible safeguards. President Trump’s executive order threatens to override them.
We should not undo the few protections Americans have.

Congress has long used its power to establish independent agencies to protect Americans without undue political pressure.
It is deeply troubling that conservative justices appear ready to give the president even more unchecked power.
Justice Kagan put it best:
Farmers are being hurt by the President’s tariffs. The assistance announced today will clearly benefit some farmers now, but a one-time payment is not a long-term fix—only restoring these markets can do that.
The administration’s step toward reversing the longstanding, science-based recommendation that all newborns be vaccinated against Hepatitis B will increase preventable cancers and cost lives.
As 40 leading medical, health and patient groups put it: “we will all pay a price.”
84 years ago today, our nation was attacked at Pearl Harbor.
In the face of that darkness, America united and rose to the challenge. We remember the lives lost and honor the courage of those who stood against fascism.
