When I questioned President Trump’s nominee to lead the Social Security Administration if he would commit to not closing offices in New Mexico, he refused to make that commitment. The more than 500,000 New Mexicans who depend on Social Security deserve better. I just voted…


Decimating our federal workforce by laying off thousands of hardworking Americans is nothing to be proud of. These layoffs will slow down the federal services Americans depend on, delay or halt ground breaking research being done, and ultimately make America less safe. This is…

Two weeks after Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva’s 40-point election win, Speaker Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. Arizonans made their voices heard. They deserve representation in Congress.

Good to see more serious lines of inquiry being launched based on the findings of our investigation earlier this year. Follow the money is the way to get justice for Epstein's victims. I'll have more to say on this in a few days.

Once again: if President Trump & Russ Vought decide to do more mass firings, they are CHOOSING to inflict more pain on people. “Reductions in force” are not a new power these bozos get in a shutdown. We can’t be intimidated by these crooks.

The RIFs have begun.



Earlier this week, President Trump called for Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to be jailed. Now, his handpicked U.S. attorney has indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James – after Trump weaponized the DOJ to go after his political…


Day nine of the Republican shutdown. Here’s what’s going on.

If my Republican colleagues fail to work with us, 267,000 veterans will lose their health care, according to a new report from the Urban Institute. These are Americans who put their lives on the line for our nation, who will be priced out of health care if Congress doesn’t act.

.@SenMarkKelly is right: undocumented immigrants are not eligible for these benefits. The truth is Trump and Republicans gave out trillions of dollars to the ultra-wealthy this summer, and now that working Americans need a break to afford health care, they're changing the…

Watch @SenMarkKelly dispel the lie that Trump and Republicans keep repeating. “Undocumented individuals do not have access to Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, even the Affordable Care Act. That's the law.”



The FCC has no business targeting independent media companies. Protect the First Amendment. Follow the law.


More than two years after the horrific October 7th attack on Israel and the deadly war in Gaza, this phase one agreement represents a positive step toward peace and stability in the region. It is welcome news for the families of hostages, for Israelis, and for Palestinians who…


President Trump showed us on day one what he thinks about hardworking Americans. Now he’s trying to go against the law and cheat federal workers out of their pay. Stop the games.

Trump said a shutdown is his responsibility. Now’s the moment for Trump and Republicans to step up. Let’s protect healthcare, prevent skyrocketing premiums, and end this shutdown for good. Via @SenatorLujan


To my Republican colleagues: It’s time to step up for the American people and prevent millions of our constituents from seeing their health insurance premiums skyrocket.


This is what New Mexicans are up against. Families can’t afford to pay upwards of $7,000 more a year for health insurance while prices for food and everything else keep rising. This is what Democrats are fighting for – to help families make ends meet.

On day eight of the Trump shutdown, I’ll be joining @MSNBC later today to discuss what’s at stake. Tune in!

The letter of the law is as plain as can be—federal workers, including furloughed workers, are entitled to their backpay following a shutdown. Another baseless attempt to try and scare & intimidate workers by an administration run by crooks and cowards.

A draft White House memo, reported by Axios, reinterprets the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act, or GEFTA, to stiff federal workers on furlough amid the longest shutdown in U.S. history. trib.al/eTG2uCT

Good morning. The government is shutdown and Republicans are hiding. They aren't even in Washington. Why? Because Trump thinks he's king. He told GOP leaders to boycott budget talks so he can act lawlessly and steal people's health care to pay for his billionaire tax cut.


President Trump wants to withhold backpay from federal workers – even though the law guarantees it. Meanwhile, construction on President Trump’s $200 billion ballroom continues. This is the Trump shutdown. axios.com/2025/10/07/tru…
