The difference is clear: President Biden is taking strong actions to make our communities safer by expanding background checks to keep guns out of the wrong hands.

Trump did nothing.

Make no mistake: Trump is to blame for today’s decision in Arizona and the erosion of the right to choose in states across the country.

The 1864 ban was written before women could vote. That’s the era extreme MAGA Republicans want to send women back to.

303k jobs were added last month, bringing the total created under President Biden to 15.2 million.

While many prices are still too high, President Biden is fighting to lower costs as Republicans continue to side with the wealthy and special interests.

The Affordable Connectivity Program made internet accessible to millions of households to help children learn, adults work, and seniors access healthcare.

But the program will expire in April unless Republicans join Democrats to renew funding. I urge my colleagues to fund ACP.

This week marked 56 years since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. In his final speech, he said he had 'been to the mountain top' & 'seen the promise land.”

This 'Green Bank' will rapidly accelerate America's clean energy transition and make right on President Biden Biden's Justice40 Initiative, which seeks to direct at least 40% of the benefits of federal climate spending to disadvantaged communities.

On the 75th Anniversary of NATO, I'm reminded of President Truman's famous words:

“We can well afford to pay the price of peace. Our only alternative is to pay the terrible cost of war.”

NATO is vital to global peace and stability. We must protect it.

More than 400K households in South Carolina are at risk of losing access to affordable, high-speed internet because some extreme Republicans refuse to renew the Affordable Connectivity Program.

We ought to put politics aside and fund the ACP.

Playing politics with the tragic bridge collapse in Baltimore is just plain cruel.

We must help Baltimore get back on its feet. Full stop.
