Ohio is home to world-class researchers, and today I’m proud to announce $21.1 million from the National Institute on Aging at the NIH for the Cleveland Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center. This five-year award will help researchers understand why dementia progresses differently for different people.
I’m grateful to the researchers and the volunteer participants who make this work possible! #MoneyMonday

We raised the alarm. We pushed for action.
Now, @NWS is restoring standard weather balloon launches nationwide.
That means better data, better forecasts, and better warnings.
Oversight 🤝 keeping Americans safe.

Houston is a city of innovation, and we should be at the forefront of shaping what comes next.
That means bringing industry, government, and our communities together to make sure we’re advancing technology responsibly, protecting people, and creating opportunities for everyone to be part of the future of tech.
Glad I could be a part of conversations at AfroTech about the future of technology and innovation.
🚨NEW from @nytimes: What a Democratic Congress Could Mean for Science
nytimes.com/2026/11/06/scien…
We will build protections for federal science and innovation programs so Trump-era corruption cannot happen again.
The American people deserve no less.
The US mid-term elections swept the Democratic party to power in both chambers of the US Congress, raising hopes that lawmakers will now push back against disruptions to science introduced by the Trump administration.

As a dad, I’m seeing firsthand how AI is changing the way our kids learn. Students are using AI to write their assignments, which means that they’re not developing the critical skills they need to become independent thinkers.
I joined @TheoJaffee with @MTSLive to talk about my bill that would study how AI is affecting kids’ learning, attention spans, and development so we can better understand how to address these challenges.

Dozens of AI safety incidents have come to light in recent months, with thousands more under investigation.
We can’t count on the Trump Administration to act, so I’m working with @RepZoeLofgren and @RepRaskin to ask AI companies to report incidents to Congress.
Congress needs to put real guardrails on AI, and this information will help us get it right.

What does the Blue Economy mean for Rhode Island?
Joined Commanding Officer Captain Patrick Sweeney on the bridge of NOAA Ship Henry B. Bigelow to discuss what this ocean-powered, future-looking, sustainable economy means for Rhode Islanders.

Claude’s access to paywalled Georgia voter data further demonstrates that AI corporations cannot be trusted to regulate themselves.
AI-driven cyberattacks continue to threaten personal data and civil rights. Congress needs to come to the table and pass legislation to protect the American people immediately.

Great tour of the new @NOAA Marine Operations Center in Newport.
Home to four research vessels, it will provide vital ocean data to fishermen, coastal communities & maritime industries.
This is what the Blue Economy is all about: good jobs, expanding knowledge & building a resilient future.

Electricity costs have gone up more than twice as fast as the overall cost of living in North Carolina.
I met with elected officials and energy leaders to discuss rising utility costs and Duke Energy’s plan to raise residential rates.
Electricity isn’t a luxury item. I will continue to push back against rate hikes and fight for affordable energy.
