We must continue to aggressively speak up to protect our elections. This administration knows how deeply unpopular they are, and they’re not going to give up on making it harder to vote.

Virginia – many coastal communities have already been impacted by flooding this week, and that’s likely to continue into the weekend as another round of storms targets Virginia. Please, stay weather-aware and follow all guidance from your local authorities and @VDEM.

It’s time for us to take real steps towards universal health care.
I have a plan to get us there.

AI security is the issue of our lifetimes.
I will NOT stand by and wait for a catastrophe to happen — I’m fighting to pass basic safety legislation TODAY.

Innovation without control just leads to chaos. We've heard the doomsday scenarios about AI. This is our moment to reassert control.
That's why I introduced the Artificial Intelligence Risk Management and Security Act alongside @MarkWarner and @SenBrianSchatz to evaluate risks and establish the safeguards Americans are demanding.

NEW: We need to take steps towards universal health care coverage NOW.
Today, I’m introducing my Health CARE Act, legislation that would reverse the devastating impacts of HR. 1, implement a low-cost public health insurance option, and permanently expand ACA tax credits.

Democrats just voted AGAIN to stop this war of choice, which has taken an enormous toll on our servicemembers and spiked gas prices for months.
Once again, Republicans blocked it.

Later today, I’m headed to the floor to try and force a vote to get urgent protections done around AI.
We cannot wait any longer. We must take action to put some guardrails on this tech before something catastrophic happens.

Completely heartbreaking. We owe our servicemembers so much more than these forever wars.

I just fought on the Senate floor to try and overturn Trump’s union-busting executive orders that targeted hard-working federal employees.
Republicans blocked it.

Months in and this war of choice rages on – sending diesel prices to new record highs.
Just like Trump’s tariffs, all of those extra costs are going to be passed along directly to us in the form of higher prices at the grocery store & on everything we buy.

This administration has a clear pattern – skim funds, cut programs, and raise costs for everyday Americans… while they get everything they need and more.

Something is deeply wrong when Trump’s net worth is skyrocketing but families across the country can’t afford gas, groceries, and health care.
Donald Trump’s culture of open corruption is leaving Americans out to dry while he and his friends get rich.

As we are seeing flooding in parts of Coastal Virginia, Virginians should be prepared for continued storm impacts over the coming days.
Please stay tuned to local weather updates and emergency notifications, make sure your phones and other devices are charged, and avoid driving through any flooded roadways. Stay safe, Virginia.

Congressional Republicans' SNAP cuts ripped food assistance away from 110,000+ Virginians. No one should have to skip meals or go to school hungry. We need to reverse these cuts.

Cancer’s no match for your fight and humor, Ben. We’re all still praying for your recovery and thinking of you all the time.
Thx for the prayers — Turns out cutting out chunks of yer liver is no joke, man.
Good news, bad news, and next steps…
Good: big liver surgery last week successfully cleared out a bunch o cancer. (Pretty darn great — considering 9 mons ago, when told I had 3-4 months to live, surgery wasn't even an option.)
Bad: Tests on the tumors show they were more advanced than we thought — meaning always-mutating tumors have developed some resistance tricks to our former treatment protocol.
Bummer but that's life, and was eventually expected.
Next:
We're gunna change up treatment to carpet-bomb-chemo as much of the rest of the cancer as we can for a bit.
Send chemo tips -- do NOT send more Nickelback promotional materials (am painfully aware they’ll be performing at the Hondo Rodeo Fest in Febr).
Grateful to God for this extra time — both time w/ fam and time to fight. Can't say enough good things about…
- daraxonrasib
- MD Anderson’s incredible team of docs, nurses, techs, & researchers
- my wife: Melissa rocks. She’s laughing-crying-fighting-prayin with me every day. Best human I know.
- Corrie, Alex, and Breck are beyond awesome.
