A president who cannot defend his flat-out false conspiracy theories without attacking the press is a dangerous sign for our democracy.

Trump started his illegal, reckless, and expensive war against Iran 100 days ago, and what did we get? A 50% increase in fuel prices and a $150-billion bill for taxpayers. This war is 100% a disaster. Trump must end this now.

Senate Democrats forced votes to BAN any kind of slush fund to pay off violent insurrectionists. Republicans killed those efforts out of fealty to Trump. Now, Trump is doubling down on giving YOUR tax dollars to convicted cop beaters.

Just another blatant attempt by President Trump to try to take away a woman’s right to choose. Abortion medication is safe and effective, and if women want to use it, they should have the freedom to – without President Trump getting in the way.

What do a TV doctor and a real doctor agree on? We need a health care system that puts patients over profits.

Nearly 70,000 Coloradans rely on insulin to stay alive. No one should have to choose between paying rent and paying for life-saving medication. We took the first step in capping insulin costs at $35/month with our Inflation Reduction Act. Now, it’s time to do it for EVERYONE.

You can’t beat the beauty of Sleeping Bear Dunes. The folks here put so much care into making sure this place is here for generations to enjoy. We specifically got a behind-the-scenes look at the work being done to protect the endangered Piping Plover and the restoration of the Sleeping Bear Inn.

More than five years after President Trump encouraged a mob of insurrectionists to attack the Capitol, he is still engaging in the same type of baseless falsehoods about election fraud. He simply cannot accept the reality that he or his party can ever lose an election.

Earth’s oceans play a vital role in our lives, and we must do all we can to protect and safeguard them from climate change. On World Oceans Day, let us all recommit ourselves to this effort.

Trump again refused to say his slush fund is dead. He also refused to say payouts shouldn't go to people who beat up our Capitol Police on Jan 6. To every Republican who voted against my amendment to stop payments to those convicted of heinous crimes, what’s your excuse now?

We're 100 days into an unauthorized, unwanted war, and there's no end in sight. For someone who “calls the shots,” President Trump can’t get this under control.

If the President prefers a corrupt and wildly partisan incompetent running DNI to having 702 authorities extended, that is 100% on him. There is no honest argument for this appointment.

Ask any Colorado farmer what's keeping them up at night: costs and water. Trump's tariffs and war are driving up costs, while his delays on Colorado River drought funding are making an already serious water crisis even worse.

Instead of addressing the soaring costs farmers are seeing under this administration, Trump visited Wisconsin to peddle election lies. Wisconsinites want a president focused on making their lives affordable—not rehashing an election from 6 years ago. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

President Trump stormed out of an interview after being called out for spreading his election conspiracy theories. When confronted with the truth, he can’t back up his lies, so he runs away.

America's 250th birthday would have been a great opportunity to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill to honor the role women have played in our nation's history. Instead, the President is focused on yet another ridiculous vanity project: his face on a $250 bill.

I’m thrilled to share that Senators Ernst, Hickenlooper, Cramer and Alsobrooks have signed onto our bipartisan bill to cap the monthly cost of insulin at $35. There’s real momentum behind this commonsense plan that Americans overwhelmingly support–let's get it done.

An update on where things stand on FISA: Early Friday morning, we successfully defeated a bill in the Senate to rubber-stamp the Trump administration's authority to spy on Americans without a warrant. This is a big win on privacy.

President Trump was asked point blank if he would rule out giving your tax dollars to cop beaters and refused to do so. His callous disregard for the officers injured during the January 6 insurrection is disgusting.

Countdown: this Friday, the MAGA DOJ has to respond under oath to a federal court concern that DOJ slush fund lawyers committed a “fraud on the court.” I’ve never heard of senior DOJ folks ever accused of such a thing. Four days left!

A UFC cage. A Tesla showroom. A gold-encrusted ballroom. Trump has been busy turning the White House front lawn into his billionaire playground. What has he done for American families?

He went from orange to red. While the President's tantrums are absurd, his delusions of voter fraud are dangerous. The President is an unhinged disgrace, and the American people deserve a Congress that will stand up to Trump's lies, not enable them.

Participating in a violent insurrection should be a good enough reason for any job not to hire someone. Yet, under Trump, you can be rewarded with a job at the Pentagon. This is a CLEAR threat to our national security—and this appointment should not even be REMOTELY acceptable.

Bill Pulte has shown that he will go into Americans' personal records to weaponize the government against people. I have a fundamental problem with someone like that being the Director of National Intelligence, and it should send a shiver down the spine of every American.
