This week, as Chairman of the HELP Committee, I will hold a hearing on the dental care crisis in America. I want to hear your story.

Have you skipped a dentist appointment because you couldn’t afford it? Do you know someone who is struggling to chew or has dental pain but can’t

Today, I wrote an op-ed on the front page of Danish paper Politiken to appeal to Denmark’s longstanding commitment to social justice and to win their help in urging Novo Nordisk, the most profitable company in Denmark, to reduce the outrageous price of Ozempic & Wegovy in the US.

Let's be clear. When Mercedes hangs a banner at its plant in Alabama urging its workers to 'vote no' on forming a union, that's not being 'neutral' as it claims to be. That's union busting. I say to Mercedes: Stop intimidating your pro-union workers. End your union busting.

Poll after poll shows the American people want an immediate ceasefire. They don’t want more US military aid for the war machine of the right-wing extremist Netanyahu government.

I’m not sure who my Republican colleagues think they are speaking for when they attack the President.

An invasion of Rafah must mean an end to all U.S. military aid to Netanyahu’s right-wing, extremist government. Period. End of discussion.

A massive ground attack in Rafah would lead to an epic humanitarian disaster.

The international community must speak with one voice for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, the immediate & unconditional release of all hostages, and a massive surge in life-saving aid.

For five days, almost no humanitarian aid has gotten into Gaza. Israel's military operation in Rafah has closed both main border crossings.

No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel.

Children are starving.

The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in this humanitarian disaster.

An attack on Rafah would make the unspeakable situation in Gaza even worse. The U.S. cannot continue to provide more bombs and artillery shells to support Netanyahu’s war machine. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

An attack on Rafah would simply make an unspeakable situation even worse. President Biden is right – the United States cannot continue to provide more bombs and artillery shells to support Netanyahu’s disastrous and inhumane war policies.

This disgusting tweet comes from Israel's extremist National Security Minister, who was convicted by an Israeli court of racist incitement & supporting terrorism.

This is the government waging war against the entire Palestinian people. We cannot be complicit in Ben-Gvir's war.

Maybe, just maybe, instead of prioritizing profit, we should have a health care system that prioritizes keeping the American people healthy.

For decades, fossil fuel corporations knowingly destroyed our planet for short-term profits.

I am proud that Vermont will go further than any other state in forcing the fossil fuel industry to pay for the destruction caused by the crisis of climate change.nbcnews.com/science/rcna15…

I find it extraordinary that Congress is very quick to bring forth bills and resolutions condemning student protesters, but there has been minimal discussion about what these young people are actually protesting.

In the United States, the richest country in the history of the world, people should not be going bankrupt because they could not afford to pay their medical bills.

The time has come to cancel all medical debt and guarantee health care as a human right, not a privilege.

President Biden is right to halt bomb deliveries to this extreme Israeli government.

But this must be a first step. The U.S. must now use ALL its leverage to demand a ceasefire, stop attacks on Rafah, and secure delivery of massive humanitarian aid throughout Gaza.

LIVE: Today I offer a simple resolution:

NO to antisemitism.

NO to Islamophobia.

NO to racism and bigotry in all its forms.

YES to free speech and protest under the 1st Amendment, whether on a college campus or across our nation. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

If we made sure that the wealthiest Americans paid their fair share of taxes, we could make Social Security solvent for more than 75 years, expand benefits by $2,400 a year, and NOT raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 a year. I've introduced a bill to do just that.

When two-thirds of the people killed in Gaza are women and children, when you block humanitarian aid, you’re not just going after Hamas. You’re going after the entire Palestinian people.
