The 8-hour work day, the weekend, OSHA standards, pensions, America’s middle class. None of it was given. All of it was hard-fought and won by labor. It's our job to keep up that fight, especially under an administration intent on undermining worker protections.

We are living through the most anti-labor administration in American history, but unions aren’t backing down and neither am I. Proud to stand with them and fight for working people every day in Congress.

Rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure could take up to $100 billion, and increasing production will take years. If Trump is so sure this won’t cost America a dime, let’s pass my legislation to stop U.S. tax dollars from rebuilding Venezuela’s oil infrastructure.

Mike Johnson and House Republicans just canceled two weeks of House votes before the election. What a joke. Families can’t afford groceries, rent, or their utility bills. War in Iran is raging, tariffs are out of control, and the House Republican plan is to send everyone home.

Trump thinks he’s the second coming of Teddy Roosevelt. What a joke. TR protected 230,000,000 acres for the public forever. Meanwhile, Trump wants to hand a corner of Yosemite to a buddy of his to build who knows what. You can’t make this stuff up.

Gloria Steinem gave her life to the fight for equality, and the world she leaves behind is fairer because of it. The doors she pushed open changed things for the better. www.axios.com/2026/09/03/g...

Gloria Steinem, feminist icon, dies at 92

For six decades Steinem carried its ideas into mainstream America across its second and third waves.

Driscoll’s departure is the latest in a steady purge of our top military leaders, coming six months into an unauthorized war that commanders have warned is unsustainable. Why does Hegseth still have the job? www.militarytimes.com/breaking-new...

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigns on short notice amid reported friction with Hegseth

Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. It is not close. Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us. This is why I launched the End Corruption Caucus with my colleagues Jason Crow and AOC. www.axios.com/2026/09/02/g...

Great to spend time with Teamsters leaders from across Joint Council 42 in Carlsbad last week. Strong unions built the middle class, and they remain the reason workers have rights and a fair shot in this country.

You need to stop what you’re doing and read this breaking NYT article.  According to a U.S. Postal Service whistleblower, USPS is secretly rushing to implement Trump’s executive order to take federal control of mail-in voting, even while a court order blocking implementation remained in effect.

If Donald Trump and Big Oil want to gamble billions on Venezuelan oil, they should not be risking taxpayer dollars to do it.

This is a must-read piece. Russ Vought, the most destructive budget director of all time, has spent the last 18 months undermining Congress and trying to burn down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Everyone needs to check out this piece by the NY Times. Dark money is totally out of control in our political system. It’s worse than ever. The NYT says ONE BILLION DOLLARS in anonymous money is being spent on the 2026 midterms.

Our service members deserve so much better than Pete Hegseth, the least qualified person ever to run the Pentagon. He should never have been confirmed, and certainly should have been fired after Signalgate.

The president who promised to lower your bills on day one just triggered a full-blown trade war with Canada that will do the exact opposite.

Trump’s oil deal with Venezuela raises some serious questions. Who will pay to develop these fields? Does Venezuela’s interim government even have the authority to make this deal? Will it help or hinder efforts to democratize the country?

Bill McKibben hit the nail on the head: every day Donald Trump lets his personal vendetta against science dictate American energy policy, our nation falls further behind. I’m fighting for the clean energy future our kids deserve—not backward policies that prop up coal and line Big Oil’s pockets.

JUST IN: Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” The laughingstock of the world.

“The times, places and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law, make or alter such regulations.”

Daily reminder that Trump and Republican leadership are spending billions of your tax dollars on military operations against Iran that Congress never authorized, expanding Stephen Miller’s mass deportation agenda, and funding the president’s own vanity projects,

This is just nuts. Federal law says if a toxic substance poses unreasonable risk, EPA has to limit or block it. In this case, according to reviewed consent orders, EPA apparently found such risk for two data center chemicals and approved anyway. Congress must demand answers.

Groups sue Trump’s EPA over fast-track approval of toxic datacenter chemicals

Exposure to two compounds approved can result in ‘sudden death’ and range of other serious health risks, lawsuit warns
