President Trump’s ignorant decision will impact America’s libraries, our copyrighted economic interests, and service to the American people by threatening support for Congress. His decision is a complete disgrace.
Tonight, President Trump fired a patriotic public servant. The Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, has spent her entire career serving people—from helping kids learn to read to protecting some of our nation’s most precious treasures. She is an American hero.
Our president seems to have forgotten his oath to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution."   I asked FBI Director Kash Patel a very simple question: "do you believe it's your duty to uphold the Constitution of the United States?"   Watch his answer below.
Instead of lowering costs, the Trump administration and House Republicans have unveiled a plan to cut over $1 trillion from Medicaid and SNAP.   We must fight back against their efforts to undermine our health, which is why I’m proud to co-sponsor legislation to protect these vital programs.
Another nonpartisan report confirms it: millions could lose health coverage so Trump’s ultra-rich friends can get another tax break.   The government’s job—my job—is to invest in Americans’ life, liberty, and happiness.   Trump keeps proving American families aren’t his priority.
CBO: Millions could lose coverage if GOP pulls back on Medicaid expansion
President Trump's chaotic tariff policies are hurting American families and causing our global allies to question our judgment. We need to return to common-sense policies and build on successes like the CHIPS and Science Act to restore sanity and credibility to our economy.
In honor of #TeacherAppreciationWeek, I’m proud to introduce this legislation to send a clear signal that America is focused on educating our future leaders.   Unfortunately, this is urgently needed as the Trump administration has made drastic cuts to critical student and teacher resources.
Tonight, I'll be on @newsnation.bsky.social with Leland Vittert around 9:15pm to discuss President Trump's chaotic tariffs and their effect on working families. Tune in!
Honored to join @nbccstopbc.bsky.social & members of our local Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester at this morning's Rally to End Breast Cancer. This cause is deeply personal to me and my family, and I'm grateful for the passion of these advocates as we work together towards a cancer-free future.
This #NationalSmallBusinessWeek, local businesses need our support more than ever. While the Trump administration puts small businesses at risk with his reckless trade war, I'm fighting for policies that bring opportunities and resources to small businesses and bolster our local economy.
Kristen Welker: "Don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?" Donald Trump: "I don't know." President Trump, you swore an oath of office, and it was very clear, "to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
It's #TeacherAppreciationWeek! As the husband of a retired teacher, I've seen how hard our educators work to educate and prepare our children for the future. We must invest in their work—and we cannot allow thoughtless cuts to the resources they rely on leave our students and teachers behind.
I was honored to join Rochester's Jewish community today for their annual Jewish Veterans Memorial Service.   Remembrance is an active responsibility. Today, as we honor the memory of those we've lost, we recommit ourselves to living up to the ideals they fought to defend.
