Trump dismantled Roe v. Wade, and now 22 states are restricting abortion access. These radical laws harm women, families, and our economy.

There is a phony narrative that if you give the Child Tax Credit to families, they’ll avoid work. In Rhode Island, our experience was the exact opposite.

First, Trump offers Big Oil execs a quid pro quo: $1 billion in campaign cash in exchange for rolling back environmental safeguards. Now, fossil fuel fat cats are paying up. Sure seems…oily. Senate Budget Committee and Senate Finance Committee are demanding answers.  budget.senate.gov/chairman/newsr…

For 89 years, Social Security has been a bedrock of US retirement. But without new revenue, it will cover only 83% of benefits by 2035. Sheldon Whitehouse's Social Security and Medicare Fair Share Act would make the wealthy pay their fair share AND protect Social Security *forever*.

Two years ago, I signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law after Kamala cast the tie-breaking vote. Folks, I'm so proud of all the ways this law has already started transforming the lives of hardworking American families. Let me name a few:

Today marks two years of the Inflation Reduction Act – a seismic law that invested in job creation and domestic energy production. Just this week, we watched as it made progress to lower prices for 10 critical drugs… but there’s a lot more to come.

Two years ago, Democrats took on Big Pharma and passed the Inflation Reduction Act.   Today, Americans are seeing real savings: $35 insulin for seniors $35 inhalers for asthma $2,000 a year cap on prescription drugs for seniors in 2025 and beyond   And we’re not done yet!

Since Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, we’ve taken major strides to hold wealthy tax cheats accountable. Already, $1 billion in past-due taxes has been collected from the ultra-wealthy.

Two years ago, Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, the largest investment to combat climate change and create good-paying clean energy jobs. Since then, companies have announced 330,000+ jobs and are delivering cheaper, cleaner energy nationwide climatepower.us/clean-energy-b…

As my Senate Budget Committee hearings have been warning: yaleclimateconnections.org/2024/08/when-w…

More “climate-flation,” with costs skyrocketing for families because of fossil fuel emissions — insurance bills, in grocery aisles, and of course gouging at the pump. nytimes.com/2024/08/25/bus…

.U.S. CBO confirms what Senate Budget Committee has been saying: Climate change is disrupting insurance markets ➡️making it harder to afford a home➡️threatening to increase costs to the federal budget. How much will climate-flation cost us? cbo.gov/publication/59…

What we're seeing in insurance & mortgage markets due to climate change sounds eerily like the run-up to 2008. Climate risk makes things uninsurable. No insurance makes things unmortgageable. No mortgages crashes the property markets. Crashed property markets trash the economy.

We’ve worked with President Biden & Vice President Kamala Harris to secure historic investments in American manufacturing and accelerate the deployment of clean energy across the country. And in just two years since we passed the Inflation Reduction Act, we’re already seeing the results. cnbc.com/2024/08/20/inf…

American workers are the backbone of our country. On Labor Day, we celebrate their contributions to the growth of our country and continue to fight for workplace protections, fair pay, and equal rights.

Defunding Social Security is the opposite of protecting it. Making the wealthy pay their fair share? Now that would protect Social Security forever.

Republicans have claimed they won’t cut Social Security. But this Republican witness said the quiet part out loud: “The maximum benefit in the United States is too high.”

Raising revenue is the *only* just solution to protect Social Security forever. Sheldon Whitehouse holds a hearing on delivering benefits and protecting retirement security for all, ft. Martin O'Malley, Rebecca Vallas ✨, and Roger Boudreau AFT. budget.senate.gov/hearings/socia…
