What does going to war with Iran get you? Does it make you safer? Does it make it easier to pay your bills? Does it make you more optimistic about your future? Trump is bringing our country to the brink of war with no reason, no plan, and no regard for you.

Last year, I was in Snohomish County as Trump tried to block critical homelessness grants & pushed major funding cuts. This year, I'm BACK in Everett, and I actually INCREASED funding for key homelessness programs, and I secured NEW guardrails to make sure that money gets out.

Oregon never wanted or needed this massive influx of National Guard members — this withdrawal is welcome news. And it happened because folks like you raised your voices. Your voice is such a powerful tool.

Again, the 'No New Wars' president seems to be on the verge of attacking another country. Trump may’ve told Netanyahu about his plans, but only Congress has the power to declare war. Dragging us into another destabilizing war in the Middle East is what Trump pledged NOT to do.

Starting and running a small business is hard enough, but dealing with a chaotic trade war and rising costs is making it nearly impossible to get ahead. I was in Eau Claire to chat with business owners about the challenges they’re facing and hear how I can help.

Dr. Bhattacharya oversaw unprecedented cuts to NIH research, with thousands of grants terminated and hundreds of clinical trials. Now Trump wants him running the CDC as measles continues to spread and flu season rages on? This is reckless. Our public health is not a game.

Canceling the Gordie Howe Bridge will have serious repercussions. Higher costs for Michigan businesses, less secure supply chains, and ultimately, fewer jobs.

As health care costs continue to skyrocket across our country, Amador Health Center in Las Cruces is committed to delivering high-quality care to New Mexicans. I helped secure $516,000 for Amador Health Clinic to strengthen care for families in Doña Ana County and keep health services close to home.

This is flying under the radar: Donald Trump FIRED the DOJ official in charge of suing Live Nation-Ticketmaster for monopolizing ticketing and hiking prices. Then, their stock jumped. If Trump's DOJ takes it easy on Ticketmaster, it'll be a slap in the face to every American.

Down in Teller County today, we heard about how Trump’s economy is making life harder for Americans in rural communities. We should be supporting our local businesses and working families, not crushing them.

This morning I toured Sheet Metal Local 359 in Phoenix, a 5-year, college-accredited apprenticeship where workers earn while they learn. Arizona is growing fast and programs like this make sure we have the skilled workers to fill jobs, build faster, and keep the momentum going.

It sounds like a lot of people had to smack some sense into Prasad & RFK Jr. to stop them from upending vaccine approval with NO basis in science. But serious damage has been done. Who's going to invest in new vaccines if a conspiracy theorist can block even a review on a whim?

For over a century, Harley-Davidson has been woven into our state’s identity, supporting good-paying jobs and driving our Wisconsin economy forward. Now, the iconic company is being slammed by Trump’s trade war and is stuck paying costly tariffs. This is not America First.

Pam Bondi, Tom Homan, Sean Duffy, Susie Wiles. What do these people have in common? They’re former lobbyists-turned-government officials. As those close to Trump continue to make millions $$$ while you struggle to pay rent and utilities, I’m demanding answers.

I want to be unequivocal here: when—not if, but when—the next pandemic hits, America will be less prepared because of the decisions made by the Trump administration. Your family and our economy will be more vulnerable to the next pandemic. This is a choice Trump is making.

I applaud the Baltimore County Council & County Executive for quickly passing a ban on private ICE detention facilities in the county. Our state has seen the inhumanity of these facilities firsthand & Marylanders have made it clear: we don't want Trump’s ICE or their jails here.

Good. Mohsen is in this country legally and peacefully protested the war in Gaza. It’s outrageous that the Trump Administration is trying to deport him simply for exercising his freedom of speech.

Authoritarianism, plain and simple. Todd Lyons must immediately confirm or deny whether ICE is building a database of protesters. If true, this would be an appalling attack on Americans’ free speech and right to protest. Peaceful dissent is not a crime. It’s a constitutional right.

When President Trump threatens Canada with higher tariffs, it causes real economic harm for my constituents. His rhetoric has led to a sharp drop in Canadian tourism to our state, which takes money right out of the pockets of small business owners across NH. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/02/09/s...
