The notion that Democrats must now help Republicans cut a blank check for ICE because Trump started a war with Iran that no one asked for is as cynical & absurd as it gets. Democrats want to protect America's national security AND protect Americans from an out-of-control DHS.

This is exactly why I fought to pass the CHIPS and Science Act — to bring the future of American manufacturing to Arizona. It's bringing good-paying jobs, fueling our economy, and making sure Arizona leads the world in innovation.

Great to visit the Merrimack YMCA and hear about the important work they do to support Granite State children and families. I’m glad that the recent government funding package included measures to increase funding for critical child care programs, but there is much more to do.

Nearly three days after the initial strikes on Iran, the Administration has still not laid out a strategic plan or path forward. The American people deserve answers.

The decision to go to war is a monumental and grave one – one that should be made with the consent of Congress and a clear plan. It shouldn’t be taken lightly, but, unfortunately, we've seen Trump do just that. That's why I'll vote YES on @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution.

I was proud to visit Barclay with @vanhollen.senate.gov and stand alongside local leaders and community members. Federal funding we worked to secure will support the construction of a new community center and town hall, expanding access to information and services for residents.

Math tends to win out when enough money is at stake. As I have said repeatedly, solar is the cheapest power on the grid and the fastest to build. And with storage growing in leaps and bounds, it’s basically all baseload power.

American troops are dying in the Middle East for Trump's illegal war against Iran, but the president is more concerned with promoting his gold-encrusted ballroom.

The American people deserved to get a clear explanation of why servicemembers lives are at risk and why their gas prices are about to skyrocket. Instead, they got this.

Trump just made your family's health care a lot more expensive. Because of his cuts, American families’ deductibles could hit $31,000. He cut Medicaid. He gutted our health care system. Our families are paying the price.

Trump has ordered military strikes against seven nations since the beginning of his second term. Is he still claiming to be the president of peace?

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S. No imminent threat. No authorization from Congress. No reason our service members should be dead. And no exit plan or strategy. This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

What is the cost of this war going to be? We already know that gas prices are going to go up. The American people are already concerned about cost of living.

The Trump family is raking in billions from crypto. How? Well, it helps that they removed ALL attorneys from CFTC Enforcement Division in Chicago, which oversees many crypto companies. Corruption. Enriching themselves at your expense.

If Trump won't rule out boots on the ground, then Congress needs to. NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND. NO WAR WITH IRAN.

Four American service members have died already since Trump started this war. My heart is heavy for their families & loved ones. And the President’s response? He said more troops are “likely” to die & that’s just the “way it is.” He’s wrong. We never have to accept that.

My deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of these three service members we lost. We are eternally grateful for their bravery and sacrifice for our country.

Trump is raising prices at home while razing countries abroad. In addition to untold casualties, Trump's illegal war with Iran will lead to skyrocketing oil prices, and we know the Big Oil vultures are already circulating. We can't let Trump drag us into another endless war.

President Trump was supposed to be talking about the war he's started in Iran that's already claimed the lives of four service members. Instead he's talking about ballrooms and curtains. It's clear he can't be bothered with the safety of our troops.

Have we learned nothing from decades of U.S. meddling in Iran and forever wars in the Middle East? More war isn’t the answer. If it were, the past 70 years would have produced a better outcome than what we see today. www.wsj.com/opinion/an-u...

When it comes up for a vote this week, I’ll be a YES on @kaine.senate.gov's War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s illegal war with Iran that has already killed at least four American servicemembers and injured dozens more.

Fact Check: Trump DID start this war. The Pentagon confirmed there was no evidence Iran was going to attack the U.S. No imminent threat. No exit plan or strategy. Just more lies from this regime as they cost the lives of service members and innocent civilians.

Secretary Hegseth was unwilling to answer when does this end. The President campaigned last year saying, 'no forever wars,' and yet there is the potential to get into another endless war in the Middle East.

The American people need answers about what we're doing in Iran and why we're doing it. We need to hear directly from the Commander-in-Chief, not a cabinet secretary taking questions from a handpicked press corps.

At a recent town hall I did in NJ, everyone raised their hands when I asked if they opposed military strikes against Iran. Let’s be clear: Americans don’t want another endless war in the Middle East. This must come to an end.

Congress holds the power to declare war - not the President. I will be joining Senators Kaine, Paul and Schumer in forcing a vote on our war powers resolution to make it clear: Congress has not authorized this use of our military.

These are heinous crimes and I have been working across the aisle to make it easier for law enforcement to hold perpetrators accountable. My bipartisan bill, the Take It Down Act, was signed into law and criminalizes sharing or threatening to share non-consensual intimate images.

Trump and Republicans keep getting asked what’s next in Iran. Their answers are “hopefully” this or “we hope” that. Hope is not a strategy, and a plan built on hope alone is how we end up in decades-long wars that cost thousands of American lives.

"Trump the Wheedler” resembles the man in Gulliver’s travels who spent “eight years upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cucumbers.” And note: “the systemic stupidity and toadyism that tyranny breeds.” Meaning Putin or Trump? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

New reports that ICE is moving around 100 vehicles from Minneapolis to Washington Co, MD are alarming. I’m pressing for answers & will continue to fight back against Trump’s lawless ICE & mass deportation operation in our communities. This is not what Marylanders want.
