Trump’s Iran war is expensive, chaotic, and illegal. This is where we should’ve been 3 months ago. I call on my colleagues to vote to end this war when it comes to the Floor.

Finally, after weeks of pleading with our Republican colleagues to listen to their constituents and do their constitutional duty, we earned the support we need to rein in this reckless war. It’s overdue, but this is the first step toward stopping this illegal war that’s raising everyone’s costs.

It took two and a half months, tens of billions of dollars, 13 dead American servicemembers, 8 votes, and skyrocketing gas prices before enough Republican Senators stood up and said no to Trump’s disastrous war of choice in Iran. Finally.

Today, Senate Democrats once again forced a vote to demand an end to this unconstitutional war. After seven failed attempts, I am thankful that my Republican colleagues have joined in bringing our War Powers Resolution to the Floor and exercising our constitutional responsibility to declare war.

NEW report shows Trump is spending $1 billion a day on war with Iran while military families pay the price at home. With sky-high grocery prices, military families are relying on local food pantries and emergency grocery support programs to put food on the table. Disgraceful.

Trump gets free pass from Trump IRS and Trump DOJ for any past Trump tax violations. Not making this up.

A majority of Americans oppose Trump’s war in Iran. When will my Republican colleagues stand up and say enough is enough?

PFAS, or forever chemicals, poison our water, our soil, and our bodies and they don't go away. The EPA set limits to keep us safe, and now this Administration wants to throw that out the window.

We're at war in Iran. Inflation is rising. It costs $100 to fill your gas tank. Energy, housing and health care costs are skyrocketing, and Trump won't stop yapping about his ballroom.

Trump’s slush fund for his J6 buddies is one of the worst cases of corruption I’ve ever seen. He is literally using your money to pay criminals while you struggle to buy gas and groceries.

Donald Trump wants to use $1 billion of YOUR tax dollars to pay for his ballroom. He’s traded millions in stocks with companies his own Administration is promoting. Now, his Department of Justice wants to put $1.7 billion of YOUR tax dollars in a slush fund that he gets to give out to his buddies.

Trump has no problem sending 18 and 19-year-olds to war just like they did to me and my brothers 21 years ago. And instead of coming to Congress to fund support for our veterans, he's demanding money for his insurrectionist friends and his ballroom. @americanprogress.bsky.social

Trump is stealing $1.8 billion taxpayer dollars to give away to friends and allies…. On top of the billions he’s squandered on new wars. This money could go to lowering your health care, child care, or energy costs… instead it’s being given to Trump’s friends.

Honored to receive @fp4america.bsky.social's Legislative Achievement Award alongside Sen. Todd Young yesterday for our work to repeal the 1991 and 2002 Iraq AUMFs and formally end the Iraq Wars. So grateful to the many partners who helped us get this done.

Republican priorities: $1 billion for Trump’s ballroom. $1.8 billion in taxpayer dollars for a political slush fund to reward Trump’s allies. And when asked about Americans struggling financially, Donald Trump said he’s “not thinking about” that.

Some facts: The reflecting pool was supposed to cost $2 million and be done last week. Now it'll be done last week and costs seven times as much. "Ahead of schedule" is about as real as his promise to bring down costs on day 1 or his concepts of a plan to improve your health care.

This is an unprecedented level of corruption. Trump is forcing the government to drop ALL tax audits of him, his family, and his businesses—giving him FULL IMMUNITY from prosecution. What is Trump hiding from the American people? Congress must step up and stop this corruption.

Today, Blanche got very offended when I called him out for continuing to act like Trump's personal attorney. Now, we learn he quietly signed a deal to bar the IRS from EVER reexamining Trump's, his family's, or his companies' prior taxes. How does this serve the American people?

It’s unforgivable. Trump made thousands of stock trades to benefit himself, while working Americans are paying the cost of his reckless policies. I'm fighting to ban high-ranking government officials from trading stocks, including the president and members of Congress.

Every American knows Trump’s $1.8 BILLION slush fund is rotten to the core. It’s an obvious ripoff of American taxpayers. And it’s totally indefensible.

My heart is with the families affected by the tragic shooting at the San Diego Islamic Center, a sacred place of worship. Anti-Muslim rhetoric is skyrocketing and it is unacceptable. No community should live in fear of violence against them because of their faith.

We can't afford veterans' pensions, but we can spend a billion dollars a day on an illegal war nobody voted for. As a veteran, I'll never accept that. Grateful to speak about it this morning at the 2026 Center for American Progress IDEAS Conference.
