Rubio, three weeks ago: “No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway.” Trump, yesterday: the U.S. will charge a 20 percent fee on maritime cargo through Strait of Hormuz. So much for the principle of freedom of navigation. China is watching.

For months, I’ve been warning about Trump’s obsession with losing the 2020 election and his threats to “take over” voting. Now, it looks like he’s going to claim he found “fraud” that justifies his interference in the midterms. Don’t buy into his BS!

Back in May, acting-AG Blanche told @murray.senate.gov & me that if we connected him with survivors of Epstein's abuse, he would meet with them. 2 months later, after repeated outreach, nothing. Today, we're demanding he live up to his commitment.

Medicare gives millions of Americans the care, security, and peace of mind they deserve. For seniors who have spent a lifetime paying for it, Medicare means well-deserved comfort and dignity.

Trump is continuing his deadly illegal war in Iran, spending billions of taxpayer funds and sending costs skyrocketing for Americans. His so-called “deal” has fallen apart, and it’s clear he has ZERO plan to get us out. End this war. NOW. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

The Senate cannot authorize an unprecedented $1.14 trillion in defense spending for Trump to continue his disastrous war at the expense of the American people. I will vote no on the NDAA unless my amendment to end this illegal war is included. Enough is enough.

America needs leaders who respect & uphold the Constitution. I’ve voted multiple times to end this unauthorized war. And I will not stop pressing Republicans to finally summon the courage to join Democrats in doing the right thing and holding Trump accountable.

America doesn’t need another ‘forever war’ & it doesn’t need Pres. Trump trying to promote his terrible deal as a ‘victory.’ Instead, we need true professional negotiators who understand how to bring about a meaningful end to Trump’s war.

For Trump, everything is for sale. America’s natural beauty and public lands mean nothing to him as long as his donors can profit from them.

We need a full and transparent investigation into the shooting in Biddeford. ICE agents cannot continue to kill with impunity. We need more guardrails now.

Trump’s decision to slash the boundaries of Bears Ears & Grand Staircase Escalante National Monuments is an attack on public lands. In the wake of these unfortunate reductions, I urge Congress to pass my America’s Red Rock Wilderness Act to protect & defend these lands for future generations.

A free press is a core part of a functioning democracy. Trump sent the Justice Department to intimidate journalists who reported on his blatant corruption and the national security risks of his Qatari-gifted private jet. Outrageous. The press serve the people, not the President.

Every day, Americans are paying higher costs due to Pres. Trump’s unilateral failures in Iran. I’ve been clear since day one: Trump must change course. Clearly, his son-in-law and golfing buddy aren’t getting the job done. Not in Iran. And not in Ukraine.

CEOs of the largest companies in America make 281 times what the typical worker makes. Since 1978, pay for these CEOs has skyrocketed 1,094%. Typical worker pay? 26%. So no, your $5 coffee isn’t why you can’t afford rent.

I opposed Pres. Trump’s reckless Iran war from the start. It’s been one mistake after another resulting in lost lives, billions of dollars wasted, depleted munitions, & global instability. Meanwhile, Republicans refuse to hold this Admin accountable for its failures.

We secured landmark affordable housing legislation without Trump. This law will: 🔨 Build more housing 🏠 Lower costs 🛑 Stop private equity and Wall Street from buying up homes Trump called it a yawn. I'm calling it a win for working people.

Very glad to see @newyorkstateag.bsky.social Tish James leading New York and 11 other states in challenging the Paramount merger, which reeks of political manipulation and monopolization, and would be a disaster for workers in the entertainment industry and American consumers.

Do you know the story of Idlewild, Michigan? From the 1940s to the early 1960s, Idlewild was one of the very few places in the entire country where African-Americans were allowed to rent and purchase lakeside property.

Tomorrow, the Senate will take a key vote on the $1.1 TRILLION defense bill. It not only fails to rein in Trump’s Iran war, it also has a provision touted by PM Netanyahu to MANDATE more U.S. defense cooperation with Israel. None of this is in our national security interests. I will vote NO.

Well, I told you to watch the Florida proceedings about whether a “fraud on the court” was committed in the slush fund case, and we now have the federal judge’s decision, and it’s a doozy. Here’s how she framed the question: 🧵

Two unarmed people shot by ICE in less than a week, the latest now in Maine. Republicans, instead of focusing on passing enforceable guardrails to stop ICE's terror and brutal tactics, have decided to give this unchecked agency billions more through reconciliation.

Republicans spent this year blocking all attempts to add real, commonsense guardrails on DHS. Now two people have been killed by ICE in less than a week—and no agents were wearing body cams. This has to stop.

The ceasefire falls apart and now Trump says America must be "the guardian of the Strait"? The American people deserve better than a foolish, illegal war that puts servicemembers at risk and sends prices through the roof.

We already know that a UAE royal behind G42 and MGX secretly bought 49% of World Liberty for $500 million. Now, Commerce is giving G42 advanced AI chips and promising favorable treatment for MGX, despite reported national security risks. This is corruption, plain and simple.

There's a very common playbook that leaders use when they fear that they or their party are going to lose an election. So, here are some of the steps in that authoritarian playbook that you should look out for.

This photo says what words can't. We saw firsthand the damage the Aspen Acres wildfire has had on Coloradans. Homes gone. Lives upended. Communities forever changed. We're fighting to make sure Colorado gets every resource and dollar it needs to rebuild and recover from these horrific disasters.

The president promised no new wars. Instead, he's dragging the American people deeper into his reckless war of choice. Enough is enough.

The events of the last week prove why Congress must reassert its war powers authority. We were promised the war would be over for months. And now in a matter of days we've gone from a bad U.S.-Iran deal to more strikes, another blockade, and added turmoil that will only drive prices higher.

That’s right: Donald Trump’s sweetheart deal with his own IRS is a sham. In no world should Trump be allowed to bully his IRS into dropping ALL audits of his and his family's taxes.

Trump's lawsuit against the IRS was an orchestrated sham to get Trump near-total immunity from investigations into his & his company's finances. As the judge said, "there was never a question as to who would prevail." The only question now is what he wanted the immunity for.

Today’s executive action is another chapter in Trump’s War on the West. Bears Ears and Grand Staircase belong to the American people, not billionaires looking to profit off public lands. It's a slap in the face to Tribes, local communities, & future generations. Now is the time to raise your voice.

ICE is supposed to enforce immigration laws and promote public safety, not shoot people in the streets of Maine and Texas. It is unacceptable and there has to be independent investigations and real accountability.

I joined @duckworth.senate.gov & @budzinski.house.gov to introduce a bill that that would expand the Gateway Arch National Park into Illinois. This measure will bring economic growth to the region, & I look forward to working with our Missouri colleagues to see this expansion become a reality.

President Trump said the war was over, but a month later the fighting continues and costs keep rising. This is a war that never should have started, and it's time for this administration to listen to the American people and end it.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Betrayal of a bill defunded women’s health and made the largest health care cuts in our nation's history. These headwinds may be a constant. But they can never be an excuse. As Governor, I will protect reproductive rights for the women of Minnesota.

President Trump has weakened America’s food safety and disease monitoring systems by firing the inspectors and researchers who keep our communities safe.
