For years, I have advocated for the release of Ekpar Asat, who had been unjustly imprisoned in China for a decade. I join his sister Rayhan in asking President Trump to advocate for his release during today's dinner with President Xi. usatoday.com/story/opinion/v…

Americans deserve transparency from AI companies about what they’re doing to place safety guardrails on their models. I’ve got a bipartisan bill to do just that.

Americans are struggling to afford groceries. Meanwhile, Donald Trump is feeding a dictator Squash Velouté and Sesame Crusted Sea Bass.

Trump’s war in Iran has gone on for over 200 days and achieved next to nothing. The price of gas is $4.48/gallon. Three quarters of Americans disapprove of this disastrous war. And yet, 49 of my Republican colleagues just voted again to give Trump a blank check to continue it.

❌ Trying to shut down the free press ❌ Hijacking major companies by demanding government equity stakes ❌ Silencing dissent through a politicized justice system ❌ Purging the qualified civil servants for yes-men Trump doesn’t just want to meet with Xi – he wants to copy him.

🧵Trump meets with Xi today. While Americans struggle to afford groceries, Xi gets a presidential greeting at the airport, a lavish state dinner and Chinese flags at the White House. What are Americans getting in return? (1/6)

Diesel is now at a record $6.50 a gallon. Republicans are panicking and looking for any solution but the most obvious one: ending Trump's disastrous war in Iran. cbsnews.com/news/gas-prices-…

Trump has spent years trying to punish anyone who challenges him: journalists, judges, law firms, universities, watchdogs, and now news organizations. Those are the actions of an authoritarian government. They have no place in the United States.

The American people: We want lower costs and an end to the war in Iran. Republicans: Best I can do is kick more of you off your health care.

While the President dismisses the need for AI guardrails, continued public reports point to the dangers of rushing AI deployment by U.S. military.   @MarkWarner @ChrisCoons & I are demanding immediate investigations.

No one is above the law. I'm glad to see Republican colleagues like John increasingly refusing to turn a blind eye to corruption from this administration and the Trump family. The American people want an equal standard.

I'm glad that the @UNCF, the @tmcf_hbcu, and HBCUs from across the country are behind the Protect College Sports Act. They agree that our bill is the best path forward for providing stability and funding so that HBCU athletic programs and the students who play there don't just survive–they thrive.

Reminder that Americans are paying for Trump’s disastrous Iran war and failed economy at the grocery store, at the gas pump, and in their monthly bills.

Wishing Jews in Delaware and across the country a good Yom Kippur and an easy and meaningful fast. G'Mar Chatimah Tovah!

Trump is once again trying to use the power of the presidency to punish a free press, now banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House. That is the behavior of an authoritarian, and we must defend the press’ right to hold those in power accountable.

Senator Kyl and I may not have agreed on many things, but he was always willing to work together on the things we did agree on. His dedication to the people of Arizona was clear throughout his decades of service. Annie and I are keeping his wife, Caryll, his children, John and Kristine, and his grandchildren in our prayers.
