You might hear people say that addressing climate change is expensive. They’re wrong.

Solar for All — legislation I wrote — can save Americans more than $8.7 BILLION in electric bills and create thousands of good-paying jobs in the process.

No, Mr. Netanyahu. It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded more than 77,000 – 70% of whom are women and children.

You will not distract us from this immoral war.

No drug is worth anything if people cannot afford it.

Today, I am launching an investigation into the outrageous prices Americans are charged for Ozempic and Wegovy.

No one should have to pay up to $1,349 a month for prescription drugs that cost less than $5 to manufacture.

We cannot allow Novo Nordisk to continue to charge $969 for Ozempic in the US when it sells for just $59 in Germany & costs $5 to manufacture. The Senate HELP Committee that I chair is investigating the outrageous prices of Ozempic & Wegovy in the US.

I voted no tonight on the foreign aid package for one simple reason: U.S. taxpayers should not be providing billions more to the extremist Netanyahu government to continue its devastating war against the Palestinian people.

Can you believe we live in a world where a Starbucks worker can't seek other barista jobs because of a so-called 'non-compete' clause? Outrageous! I applaud the Federal Trade Commission for banning non-compete clauses. Once again, Chair Khan is delivering for working people.

It is a dark day for democracy when the Senate will not even allow a vote on whether U.S. taxpayer dollars should fund Netanyahu’s war against the Palestinian people.

LIVE: Today, I am offering two amendments. 1. NO unfettered military aid for Netanyahu’s war on the Palestinian people. 2. Restore funding for UNRWA so that children in Gaza don’t starve. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I look forward to offering amendments tomorrow to cut billions in offensive military funding to Israel from the proposed national security supplemental package and protect essential humanitarian operations. We cannot continue to fund this horrific war.

In the '30s, the government helped bring electricity to every part of our country as part of the New Deal.

Today, we can lead the world in transforming that energy system away from fossil fuels to renewable energy & save Americans billions on their electric bills in the process.

I am proud to announce the Solar for All program with President Biden. It will not only combat the climate crisis by making solar energy available to working people, it will also substantially lower Americans' electric bills & create thousands of good-paying jobs.

Thank you to the more than 130 young Vermonters from across our state who came out to my second-annual Youth Chess Day to learn and play the game that teaches us to think, focus, and strategize. It was great to see so many kids come out and play chess.

Think the Gilded Age is ancient history? I wish.

I spoke with Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan about taking on monopoly power and corporate greed. If you missed our discussion, tune in now. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

I look forward to offering two very important amendments on the upcoming supplemental.

One: NO unfettered military aid to Netanyahu’s war machine.

Two: Restore funding for UNRWA so that children in Gaza don’t starve.

I'm delighted that Boehringer Ingelheim, AstraZeneca, and GlaxoSmithKline are lowering the cost of asthma inhalers to $35. I'm disturbed that Teva has not done the same. Teva must not continue to charge Americans with asthma $286 for inhalers that sell for just $9 in Germany.
