Big businesses don’t need more advantages. That’s why I’m introducing the Protecting Small Business Competitions Act—to codify the Rule of Two and give small businesses a fair shot at procuring federal contracts.
A reminder that Trump has complete, unilateral authority to launch the US nuclear arsenal. Terrifying but true. Such power should rest with Congress, not an impulsive President.
Trump, escalating war of words with Russia’s Medvedev, mobilizes two nuclear submarines

We must treat gun violence like the public health crisis it is. I’m reintroducing the Gun Violence Prevention Research Act to fund scientific and public health research to stem the scourge of gun violence in our communities and help us save lives.
Dr. Paul Farmer dedicated his life to helping others and advancing global health equity. I was honored to introduce a Senate resolution celebrating his legacy of compassion, justice, and action. He embodied the belief that health care is a human right and served as an example to us all.
Warehouse workers are being tracked by intrusive technology, forced to meet dangerous speed quotas, and pushed past their physical limits—all to boost corporate profits. I’m reintroducing the Warehouse Worker Protection Act to put worker safety before greed.
'WAREHOUSE WORKER PROTECTION ACT' Before vs. After of graphic of workers.
WAREHOUSE WORKERS PROTECTION ACT 1. INCREASE QUOTA USE TRANSPARENCY Requires that warehouse employees subject to a quota receive a written description of all quotas including what the quota is; what discipline or bonus may relate to the quota; and how the quota is monitored. 2. PROHIBIT THE MOST DANGEROUS TYPES OF QUOTAS Including those that: rely on constant intrusive surveillance interfere with workers' ability to use the bathroom and take guaranteed breaks; prevent compliance with health and safety laws 
'WAREHOUSE WORKER PROTECTION ACT 3. ENFORCE THE LAW To PROTECT WORKERS Gives the Department of Labor and Federal Trade Commission the tools to hold companies accountable for violations. 4. ESTABLISH STANDARDS FOR SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS This standard for warehouse workers operating under quota systems will include hazard identification, ergonomic job evaluations, hazard control, employee training, and medical management.'
The TikTok ban has failed. It’s time for a new approach. Today, I’m releasing a new framework to ensure TikTok remains online while addressing its national security risks. I look forward to reviewing feedback on this discussion draft.
While Republican roadblocks bottleneck Congress, I’m working with @deluzio.house.gov to build the transportation system of the future. By investing in passenger rail, we’re lowering emissions, creating union jobs, and connecting communities across the country. All aboard!
The All Aboard Act Monopology Board graphic with different cards listing off the actions in the bill.
'THE ALL ABOARD ACT Establishes a Green Railroad Fund. Creates a first-of-its-kind dedicated rail formula program for states to do rail planning, maintenance, operations, and capital investment. Expands Passenger Rail and High-Performance Rail InvestsintheRailWorkforce. Invests in the Rail Workforce. Addresses Air Pollution from Railyards.
Trump, not satisfied with undermining US democracy, has imposed 50% tariffs on Brazil to pressure it into dropping the case against fellow coup-plotter Jair Bolsonaro. And we are all paying more for coffee! Outrageous.
NYT Headline: No One Is Defying Trump Like Brazil’s President
Faced with threats of 50 percent tariffs and demands to end a criminal case, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva said he wouldn’t take orders from President Trump.
Kelly Loeffler has refused to answer my questions about DOGE's access to sensitive information at the SBA for months. Now we know why. Malicious DOGE operatives are stealing American’s data from SBA, DOJ, DHS, the FBI, and more. This is incredibly dangerous. More to come.
Hundreds of pages of records reviewed by WIRED show just how quickly DOGE gained access to systems at the Small Business Administration—and through it, a USDA system that handles payroll for federal law enforcement.
When Emil Bove was nominated, whistleblowers sounded the alarm. Tonight, Republicans ignored it and gave him a lifetime appointment. He is unworthy of serving on and unfit for the bench.
