Yesterday, I arrived in Taiwan—the first Senator to visit since Trump and Xi’s summit—to deliver a strong message: Regardless of who is in the White House, our commitment to Taiwan is steadfast. It's concrete. And it can save lives. My op-ed ⬇️

America's friendship with Taiwan is bigger than any one President. Congress needs a steady vision to support Taiwan long-term, for both their security and our own. I'm in Taiwan working to ensure our friendship stays strong, no matter who's in the White House.

As we mark the 250th anniversary of our nation, a reminder: if you're planning to use fireworks, be aware of the impact they may have on those with PTSD, including our nation's Veterans and victims of gun violence. Be courteous and respectful as you celebrate.

Four years ago, the same gunfire I heard on the battlefield in Iraq rang out through Highland Park during a Fourth of July parade. Seven lives cut short. A two-year-old orphaned. A community forever changed. Enough has to be enough. Reinstate the assault weapons ban. Now.

Happy 250th, America. Above all else, today I’m remembering the bedrock principles of our young nation. What our founders fought for, what patriots have marched for and what our servicemembers have bled for time and time again: The fundamental belief that all individuals are

Trump's attack on birthright citizenship was an affront to our nation's ideals—not to mention blatantly unconstitutional. America was built by immigrants. It still is. No amount of hate will ever change that.

Thinking of our nation’s brave servicemembers who carried out an emergency crash landing in the Arabian Sea, and their families waiting for answers. Three are safe and stable, and I’m hoping the fourth airman is found soon.

Let's be clear: our disabilities are not a weakness, they're our superpower. Damn proud to belong to this community and fight for a world where accessibility is the default—not an afterthought. Happy Disability Pride Month!

Trump’s extreme immigration agenda already defies American values, and the Supreme Court just added fuel to the fire. They’re letting Trump revoke TPS for those fleeing danger and turn away those legally seeking asylum at ports of entry. This is not who we are.

The Supreme Court issued two decisions that will collectively allow the Trump administration to push forward the president’s plan to transform the asylum system and expel immigrants who come certain countries. Here’s what to know: wapo.st/3SIgeBR

Trump wants to rebuild Iran before he rebuilds America. That's a bad deal.

We will not let the Trump Administration attack disability rights and get away with it. Today, I led @SenateDems in introducing a resolution that calls on Trump's DOJ to rescind its dangerous memo and uphold the true promise of Olmstead.
