Yesterday, Congressional Republicans announced that they finally agreed to stop obstructing a bill that would end the TSA & FEMA shutdown. But today, House Republicans chose NOT to pass the bill they JUST agreed on. Because of their chaos government employees will continue to miss their paychecks.

The price of U.S. crude oil has risen by more than 40%, and the average price of gasoline has risen by more than a dollar per gallon as a result of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and war in Iran.

Minnesota will never forget Pam Bondi’s interference in the investigations into the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents. That will always be a stain on her record.

CFTC Chair Selig promised he’d stay out of CT & other states’ lawsuits over prediction markets. Instead, he’s shown himself a crony of Kalshi, using the CFTC to bully states on their behalf. www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/Pr...

Our firefighters risk their lives defending our homes, families in and businesses, when they run toward the danger. @padilla.senate.gov and I welcomed some of California's very own to the Capitol to express our continued support for their efforts.

The cost of gas is skyrocketing, and families need relief. I released a new report this morning about how American families have paid $8.4 billion in increased gas prices since President Trump started his reckless war in Iran. www.cbsnews.com/news/gas-pri...

This Administration is spending billions on a war with no strategy instead of lowering people’s health care and child care costs.

One year ago, Trump imposed illegal tariffs on nearly 100 countries and you ended up paying for it. That’s why I’m working to make sure that you get the refunds.

President Trump’s tariff taxes have hurt American farmers, businesses, and families. On the one-year anniversary of the President’s so-called “Liberation Day,” it is clear that the President’s tariffs have accomplished nothing but create hardships for working families.

Trump is right, we can either pay for “daycare, Medicaid, Medicare all these things," or we can pay for more war. Every dollar we spend on this illegal war of choice, is a dollar that could have helped improve life right here at home. He's telling us what he cares about more.

Trump's DOJ just ended its prosecution of the bank that helped Iran dodge U.S. sanctions, as what looks like a favor to his dictator buddy Erdogan. Trump sacrificed U.S. servicemembers' lives and spiked gas prices to attack Iran, but he lets Iran's bankers off scot-free. It's all a grift.

Today, I visited Foodbank of SE VA and the Eastern Shore to celebrate federal funding I secured for its new facility. I also had a productive discussion with leaders in the region working to address food insecurity. It's clear we still have more to do, especially after the GOP slashed SNAP benefits.

President Trump promised that Liberation Day tariffs would bring back jobs and lower prices for American families. One year later, prices are up, families are struggling, and small businesses are facing increasing uncertainty. www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...

One year after President Trump’s “Liberation Day,” it is clear: Trump’s tariff policies failed. Families in Maryland are paying on average $1,744 more because of these tariffs. We are living through an affordability crisis thanks to this Administration’s ineptitude.

Hundreds of thousands of veterans rely on the Post-9/11 GI Bill program to pay for higher education, but we haven't raised the stipends for books and supplies since 2008. We want to fix that so our veterans receive increased financial support in the face of rising costs.

Great to be in Kingman with veterans at my town hall. What I keep hearing across Arizona is the same: they're worried about VA benefits and the care they earned. Real concerns. I promise, I'll keep showing up.

Pam Bondi turned our Department of Justice into the Department of Corruption, protecting pedophiles and going after Trump's enemies list at the expense of the American people. Good riddance. Now, fire Hegseth.

Owning a home shouldn’t just be a dream, yet I constantly hear from Wisconsinites who say it’s simply out of reach. I was with NeighborWorks in Green Bay to discuss these challenges and the bill I just voted for to make housing more affordable.

One year since so-called "Liberation Day" and the results are in. Everything has gotten more expensive while American manufacturing jobs disappear. I would submit that it's a strange liberation and a curious freedom that raises prices and leaves you unemployed.

But she did such a great job covering up the Epstein Files...

Bondi is out. She blatantly used the Justice Department to retaliate against Trump’s political enemies, but even she didn’t go far enough for him. It’s hard to imagine what might come next, but it can’t be good.

Pam Bondi did everything she could to prevent the Epstein files from being made public while using the Department of Justice to go after Donald Trump’s political opponents. She did nothing to stand for the rule of law — instead shielding Trump from accountability. She won't be missed.

Exciting to watch the historic NASA Artemis II launch yesterday! I had the honor of meeting these inspiring astronauts a few years ago, and I look forward to following their journey around the moon. This launch is a reminder to us all to shoot for the moon & dream big! 🚀🌙

We urgently need to lower energy costs for American families. My draft Ratepayer Roadmap outlines a path to do exactly that: directly cut bills, build more clean energy, and stop Big Oil from rigging the system to make even more profits. Learn more:

AG Pam Bondi has been using her office to repeatedly attack Colorado to advance the President's political agenda and exact retribution. I opposed her nomination from the beginning; and since, I have worked to fight DOJ's attacks on Colorado and other states.

Native American veterans served this country before they were even considered U.S. citizens. That's not talked about enough. Visited the Hualapai Veterans Memorial today with warriors Mike, Herbert, and Franklin. Worth the visit.

One month ago, the President said the war in Iran would last 4-5 weeks. It’s been a month and now we’re being told just a couple more weeks. The President got us into yet another war in the Middle East with no exit plan.

A year ago was Donald Trump's "Liberation Day." What's happened since? - Families have paid $1,700 in higher costs - 89,000 manufacturing jobs lost - Global investment in U.S. hit its lowest since COVID And no tariff refunds in sight for Americans, just the bill.

It’s been one year since the Administration's so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs — and the result? Higher costs for families, fewer markets for our farmers, and more uncertainty for small businesses.

Dems held the line: fund DHS, not ICE abuses. We passed a bipartisan deal through the Senate unanimously. Twice. Then Mike Johnson flip-flopped and blocked it. I went on @cnn.com to lay out the facts:

The Attorney General needs to be on the side of the law, not abusing their position to protect and serve Donald Trump. This was a needed change but the damage done cannot be overstated - we must have a Justice Department that shows independence, not blind loyalty.

Bondi’s departure is overdue & deserved—after disgracing & degrading Justice, both the Department & cause. But the real problem is Trump, who confuses Justice with self-interest, & sees the Department as his personal law firm. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/u...

To put it bluntly, Pam Bondi has been a terrible AG. I didn’t vote for her because I knew she wouldn’t defend DOJ’s independence and we’ve seen that play out.

We have never had an Attorney General as disgraceful as Pam Bondi. No one else has done more to turn DOJ into a political attack dog for a delusional & spiteful President. We need a DOJ that is actually focused on the rule of law and that works for the PEOPLE—not the President.

Dems will continue pushing for commonsense reforms to rein in out-of-control ICE & Border Patrol agents. Accountability must come for unjustified violence & unconstitutional actions. GOP should stop trying to ignore Americans’ demand for needed reform & oversight.

Under AG Pam Bondi, the DOJ became a cesspool of corruption. Bondi will be remembered for blocking the release of the Epstein files, weaponizing the DOJ to go after Trump’s political opponents, and handing out merger approvals as political favors. Good riddance.
