No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and affording their medication.   I reintroduced the SMART Prices Act with @welch.senate.gov and 25 of our colleagues to expand Medicare’s power to negotiate with drug companies for lower prices, & save taxpayers money.
The arbitrary arrest of Salvadoran human rights defender Ruth Lopez is another blow to freedom of expression in that country. President Bukele is a corrupt dictator determined to stamp out any criticism and conceal his deals with gangs.
Charles Kushner pled guilty to tax fraud, lying to the government, and retaliating against a witness. But because he's the father of President Trump's son-in-law, the Senate voted to confirm him as Ambassador to France. It's nepotism of the highest order. I voted no.
I’m glad that Mohsen Mahdawi had the opportunity to attend his graduation from Columbia University. Vermont was cheering him on. Colleges cultivate free speech and different viewpoints. We must protect that right.
Mohsen Mahdawi graduates from Columbia University after release from ICE custody, tells CBS News he feels "victorious"
For the first time in history, Moody's has stripped the U.S. of the top credit rating. Our economy can't afford for President Trump to continue pursuing an agenda that blows up our national debt to give tax cuts to billionaires.
When this chapter in American history is told, my colleagues and I will be judged on whether we spoke out against one of the most widespread attacks on freedom of speech ever, or whether we chose to stay silent. I will speak up.
Higher Prices. Disrupted Supply Chains. Overall Uncertainty. Because of President Trump’s trade war, consumers will pay the higher price on everyday items they need.
Graphic of CNN logo. Text reads: Walmart warns it will raise prices because of tariffs.
It’s a double blow that President Trump is trying to take away food assistance from millions of working families while at the same time imposing tariffs that will raise the cost of food for everyone.
It's been over two months since the Israeli government has allowed food and medicine into Gaza. That's why I've introduced a resolution with my colleagues urging the Trump Administration to use every tool at their disposal to stop the blockade and allow aid to enter Gaza.
Photo of Peter. Text on the graphic reads: Sen. Welch introduces resolution with 29 colleagues urging Trump Administration to help end blockade of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
