    Since the Trump tax cut, Celgene has issued $8 billion in stock buybacks for shareholders without meaningfully lowering drug prices. I wrote Bristol and Celgene last year to urge them to do more to lower drug prices. This merger doesn’t help.

    Reports that millions may not be able to vote in the election in Congo are deeply concerning. The government has failed to curb violence & hasn't adequately prepared for the elections. I support legislation that calls for sanctions against those who undermine elections.

    The Senate voted unanimously to keep the government open—but Trump decided to shut down the government over his wasteful border wall. Now 800,000 federal workers don’t know when they’ll receive their next paychecks. He must end his .

    EXCLUSIVE: Senator explains what the passing of the FIRST STEP Act really means for America's broken prison system. There's much ground to cover on the road to justice reform.

    This is deeply concerning—the Violence Against Women Act, which provides critical resources for survivors of domestic violence & sexual assault, expired with the government shutdown. This must end.

    The cycle: 1. Arrested because poor. 2. Court fees imposed. Can’t afford. 3. License suspended for not paying. 4. Need car for work, appointments. 5. Arrested for driving w/o license. 6. Court fees imposed. Can’t afford. 7. Rinse. Repeat. Governors: Take note of Virginia👇

    In Lexington County, SC, people are being jailed without ever seeing a judge, being given a court hearing, or receiving help from a lawyer. For mothers of color and others ensnared in this debtors’ prison, the consequences are devastating.

    All Americans—Republicans & Democrats—are all being hurt by the government shutdown that was caused by President Trump's demand for an ineffective & wasteful border wall. Trump must end his now.

    8-year-old Felipe Alonzo-Gómez is the second child this month to die in custody under this admin. This is horrifying. My heart breaks for these young children & their families. We need answers—our government has a responsibility to keep children safe.

    President Trump said he would be ‘proud’ to shut down the government over his senseless & wasteful border wall—but real people & families are being hurt including low-wage workers who likely won’t get back pay. Trump must end his now.

    Due to the —420,000 federal workers will be forced to work without pay & another 380,000 federal workers will be sent home over the holidays without pay. ~5,000 NJ workers are affected. This was avoidable. Trump must reopen the government.

    Our historic anti-lynching bill is so close to becoming law. But the power to schedule a vote to make that happen now rests in the hands of House Republicans. I urge them to listen to Chairman Grassley's words. Do not stand on the wrong side of history.
