This is the HIGHEST inflation rate we've see in 3 years. Everything is more expensive: gas, plane tickets, electricity, groceries, healthcare, rent. We can't afford Trump's America any longer.

Inflation is up 4.2% compared to a year ago in line with expectations - the highest since April 2023. Prices increased 0.5% compared to a month ago. Prices for energy rose 3.9% in May, energy prices accounted for over 60% of the monthly all items increase.

Good. Trump’s $100,000 fee on H-1B visas was nothing more than an anti-immigrant tax that hurt America’s innovation, competitiveness, and health care.

A federal judge has voided President Donald Trump’s requirement of a $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas, ruling that he lacked authority to impose the new policy for a program used by companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers in specialized fields.

The Iran War has cost American households $100 billion, that’s $750 per family. Gas is up 50%. Groceries are spiking. Inflation is at a 3-year high. And Congressional Republicans want to give another blank check to ICE to the tune of $70B. Western New York families are paying

Honored to take part in the annual King Kamehameha lei draping ceremony in the Capitol Visitor Center. King Kamehameha I’s final words, “Continue the good work that I have done, for it is not yet finished,” remain a call to action as Native Hawaiian rights and sovereignty face

The people harmed by this xenophobic and racist policy weren’t those trying to cheat the system. They were the people who followed every rule, submitted every document, and paid every fee they were required to. Judge McConnell’s ruling is an important reminder that @DHSgov and

Linsanity inspired a generation of fans — including Knicks star Karl-Anthony Towns, who credited Jeremy Lin as the reason he began following the team. As the Knicks take the court tonight, we're celebrating Jeremy Lin's legacy that continues to inspire players and fans alike!

AANHPI workers with limited English proficiency are nearly twice as likely to earn lower wages than English speakers. By rolling back language assistance resources, Trump is hurting millions of Americans who are simply trying to make a living and contribute to this nation.

Trump thinks he's helping farmers by lowering tariffs on agriculture equipment from 25% to 15%. I introduced the Tariff Free Farming Act to make that number 0%. Yes, 0%. Let's get rid of ALL the tariffs. Congress can make the choice to lift these insane taxes off the backs of

At around 5am, after voting all night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE $70 BILLION more in your taxpayer dollars. No reforms or changes made.   We can still fight this.

Last year, as American families struggled to pay for groceries, Republicans gave ICE and CBP $170 billion. Today, the Senate voted to send them another $70 billion — without any meaningful reforms after they killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The House must reject this funding.

Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. I stand in solidarity with victims and survivors of gun violence in NJ and around the country. We have lost far too many of our loved ones to gun violence. We must continue the fight for common sense gun control.
