I voted no tonight on the foreign aid package for one simple reason: U.S. taxpayers should not be providing billions more to the extremist Netanyahu government to continue its devastating war against the Palestinian people.

LIVE: It's a dark day in America when the Senate suspends debate around funding Netanyahu's immoral war twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Can you believe we live in a world where a Starbucks worker can't seek other barista jobs because of a so-called 'non-compete' clause? Outrageous! I applaud the Federal Trade Commission for banning non-compete clauses. Once again, Chair Khan is delivering for working people.

It is a dark day for democracy when the Senate will not even allow a vote on whether U.S. taxpayer dollars should fund Netanyahu’s war against the Palestinian people.

LIVE: Today, I am offering two amendments. 1. NO unfettered military aid for Netanyahu’s war on the Palestinian people. 2. Restore funding for UNRWA so that children in Gaza don’t starve. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I look forward to offering amendments tomorrow to cut billions in offensive military funding to Israel from the proposed national security supplemental package and protect essential humanitarian operations. We cannot continue to fund this horrific war.

In the '30s, the government helped bring electricity to every part of our country as part of the New Deal.

Today, we can lead the world in transforming that energy system away from fossil fuels to renewable energy & save Americans billions on their electric bills in the process.

I am proud to announce the Solar for All program with President Biden. It will not only combat the climate crisis by making solar energy available to working people, it will also substantially lower Americans' electric bills & create thousands of good-paying jobs.

Thank you to the more than 130 young Vermonters from across our state who came out to my second-annual Youth Chess Day to learn and play the game that teaches us to think, focus, and strategize. It was great to see so many kids come out and play chess.

Think the Gilded Age is ancient history? I wish.

I spoke with Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan about taking on monopoly power and corporate greed. If you missed our discussion, tune in now. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I look forward to offering two very important amendments on the upcoming supplemental.

One: NO unfettered military aid to Netanyahu’s war machine.

Two: Restore funding for UNRWA so that children in Gaza don’t starve.

I'm delighted that Boehringer Ingelheim, AstraZeneca, and GlaxoSmithKline are lowering the cost of asthma inhalers to $35. I'm disturbed that Teva has not done the same. Teva must not continue to charge Americans with asthma $286 for inhalers that sell for just $9 in Germany.

For too long the food and beverage industry has put profits over the health of our children.

Today 1 in 5 kids in the U.S. are living with obesity and the number of kids with type 2 diabetes is estimated to skyrocket by nearly 700% in the next 40 years.

Congress must act.

While we work to prevent further escalation between Israel and Iran, we cannot lose sight of the unprecedented humanitarian disaster taking place in Gaza. We must not look away.

Listen to FTC Chair Lina Khan explain how the pharmaceutical industry is doing everything they can to charge Americans the highest prices possible for the drugs they need. Spoiler alert: Greed. Greed. Greed.

Over and over again, I hear my Republican colleagues talk about the high cost of addressing the climate crisis. Well, maybe we should be asking them about the high cost of not addressing it at all.

We need bright, young minds on the side of justice, not on the side of big money.

Last week, I visited Morgan State University's nursing program to learn how they are leading in addressing disparities in the nursing workforce. We must do more to support young people who want to go into medicine to improve care for our Black and Brown communities.
