Americans deserve access—at a fair price—to the drugs their tax dollars help develop.

By opposing the Biden admin’s proposal to boost competition & lower drug prices, the Chamber of Commerce is hurting small business members & consumers. I want answers.

Giant grocery stores & massive food conglomerates are hiking up food prices while raking in record profits.

The Biden Administration is fighting back. Along with 40 lawmakers, I laid out more ways President Biden can use his executive authority to lower food costs.time.com/6977026/democr…

President Biden and USTR @AmbassdaorTai are standing up for American workers and against unfair trade policies from China.

With strong trade enforcement + big investments in our economy, we’re bringing back American manufacturing jobs.

Thanks to hundreds of mergers over the last 50 years, just four grocery chains control ~72% of sales in U.S. cities & in grocery categories—like bread, pasta, beef, cereal—4 companies control more than 60% of the market. We need more competition & to crack down on price gouging.

There's no doubt about it: MOHELA harmed millions of student loan borrowers, deflected their calls & still took millions from the Dept. of Education.

I'm leading a growing number of Senators pushing U.S. Department of Education to hold MOHELA accountable.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mommas working hard to give their families a fighting chance.

Becoming a mother put me in the fight in a deeper, more personal way. Together, we'll build a world all our mommas can be proud of.

Taxpayers are sick of @TurboTax junk fees - and they loved saving time and money with the IRS Direct File pilot program!

The IRS should make Direct File permanent and expand it so more and more Americans can file their taxes for free.

Banks make billions in profits charging excessive late fees.

Now a single Trump-appointed judge sided with bank lobbyists to block the Biden administration’s new rule capping these junk fees.

consumerfinance.gov is fighting to close a loophole that will save people $10 billion a year.

Corporate profits rose 5x faster than inflation from 2020-22. But jacking up prices wasn’t enough for giant corporations.

Now, they’re shrinking products to pad their profits.

We must crack down on shrinkflation and other corporate tricks to rip consumers off.

Instead of lowering prices or increasing worker pay, giant corporations are boosting their stock prices. It's wrong - and we need to raise taxes on stock buybacks.

Ahead of Mother's Day, I'm renewing my push to combat the worsening maternal health crisis.

It's time we expand Medicaid to cover doulas, midwives, and tribal midwives to root out discrimination and take care of all our mommas and babies.

5 companies dominate the airline industry, forcing passengers to pay more & more to fly.

These airlines hoard gates at U.S. airports, leaving them unused rather than competing with smaller low-cost airlines.

My bipartisan bill would stop this & make travel cheaper.

Service members are suffering from severe headaches, depression, and panic attacks after exposure to blasts from their own weapons.

Congress should pass my bipartisan bill to tackle this crisis so service members can get the help they deserve.

When an airline delays your flight for hours or cancels your trip, you deserve the option of an automatic cash refund — no muss, no fuss.

I worked with the The White House to ensure the Biden admin’s new rule on flight refunds is part of the aviation bill.

Big win for consumers!

With reproductive rights under attack, protecting access to contraception is more critical than ever.

Now, over-the-counter birth control is available on shelves & online. This is powerfully important, & we must keep fighting so it's available & affordable for all.

As Dolly Parton says “workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin!”

But here’s the thing: millions of workers have been working more than 9 to 5 — without legally protected overtime pay.

No more.

President Biden is expanding overtime protections to 4 million more workers.

A big deal!

Important step in the right direction by President Biden to halt the shipment of bombs to Israel.

Netanyahu must stop bombing Gaza and stop the invasion of Rafah. The U.S. needs to keep pushing for a ceasefire, the return of hostages, and more life-saving aid.
