Just days after killing another person in Texas, ICE is involved in another fatal shooting in Maine. ICE is out of control. Not one more penny for ICE until there’s transparency, accountability, and justice. www.cnn.com/2026/07/13/u...

Trump's inconsistent action over the Strait of Hormuz is not a negotiating tactic – it's expensive for Americans and a threat to the global economy. A staggering 20% fee will drive up the cost of daily goods, from fertilizer for our farms to toys for our kids. 1/2

The FHA's multifamily loan limits haven't been updated since 2003. Construction costs have. That gap is choking apartment supply nationwide, and it's a big reason your rent keeps going up. I teamed up with a Republican to fix the math. Get builders back to building. Now it's law.

Good news: A federal judge just ruled that Trump's scheme to sue his own government and then reach a settlement to create a slush fund — which would have paid out his friends and even January 6 rioters with your tax dollars — was an illegal abuse of our justice system.

After Republicans passed their budget megabill last summer and let enhanced ACA subsidies expire, thousands of Virginians have lost or are at risk of losing their health coverage.

Todd Blanche cut this corrupt, illegal deal because he's Trump's lawyer first. He has no business being confirmed Attorney General of the United States. apnews.com/article/trum...

Another person is killed after an encounter with ICE. Somewhere along the way, we stopped seeing our neighbors as people deserving of dignity and compassion. We cannot let this become who we are.

Trump wants a forever occupation across the world to clean up the mess he created. Trump is forcing the American people to foot the bill for his chaos.

ICE is terrorizing our communities, separating families, and killing innocent people. A new facility in Hudson will make a horrible situation even worse. We’re fighting against this detention center and for basic answers from this lawless agency. www.denverpost.com/2026/07/13/c...

A federal judge just called out Trump's "settlement" for what it really was: a shameless attempt to rubber stamp his $1.8 billion slush fund and grant his family audit immunity for past tax returns. This is blatant corruption, and the courts are seeing right through it.

ICE has shot and killed another person — the second death in two weeks. This is beyond horrific. ICE is terrorizing our communities, and Republicans in Congress voted to send the rogue agency more blank checks. Enough. The Senate must stop ICE’s violence.

OMB’s proposed rule is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to weaponize federal funding for their own partisan and destructive goals. It is illegal and would irreparably harm recipients of federal funding and the people they serve. We must ensure it is scrapped entirely.

For months, the feds withheld evidence in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. I’ve pressed the DOJ to release those records to the State investigators, including at a recent meeting. We understand that they are now sharing information with Minnesota investigators.

Since the President started his war in Iran, families in New Hampshire have had to pay nearly $600 more for gas. And now, with President Trump restarting the war, the burden on families across my state will only get worse.

I was proud to be in Colorado supporting candidates who will help us change the direction of our country. We need to re-elect John Hickenlooper and Jason Crow — and flip critical Republican House seats by electing fighters like Eileen Luabacher, Manny Rutinel, and Jessica Killin.

ICE is still gunning people down in our streets. It is a moral tragedy that this has become commonplace in our country. Do not let anyone convince you that it has to be this way. This is a choice.

Trump has failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz so now he wants to take it over and charge ships to use it. Not only is this illegal, it’s a recipe for endless war with Iran and higher gas prices. We should not be the world’s police force. Get out of the Strait. End the war. Now.

Trump is endorsing a forever war in the Middle East. He is setting billions of your taxpayer dollars on fire over a war America doesn't support, and Americans are literally also paying the price at the pump. And Republicans are voting to let this war go on forever.

Republicans refused to extend ACA enhanced premium tax credits, and now we’re seeing the result: spiking premiums that are making health care even more unaffordable. Americans want lower costs, yet Republicans are doing just the opposite. pbs.org/newshour/hea...

Trump has claimed that his war of choice is nearly over more than 30 times. Yet prices at the pump are rising, the Strait of Hormuz is closed, the U.S. and Iran are trading airstrikes, and a nuclear deal looks unlikely.

A scalding, blistering judicial opinion calling out Trump’s sham litigation, striking down his corrupt IRS immunity, and holding his sycophant lawyers to account. That’s a good start. Impeachment is next.

Since Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" became law one year ago, it has ripped away SNAP nutrition assistance from over 120,000 Michiganders, including over 40,000 children — all to pay for a giant tax break for the wealthy. michiganadvance.com/2026/06/24/c...

Join me in fighting Trump’s attacks on science, education, & our communities! Trump wants to end merit-based review of federal grants & instead give political appointees unprecedented power. Submit a public comment on Trump’s hyper-partisan OMB proposal ASAP:

Last Friday, Mayor Avula and I met with Tobacco Free Kids advocates in Richmond to discuss keeping tobacco and nicotine products away from children. Their advocacy helped get my bipartisan bill to raise the tobacco age to 21 signed into law, and I'll keep working with them to protect public health.

We have seen a complete failure by the Trump Administration in operating ICE detention centers with any decency, accountability or transparency. I’m extremely disheartened they are taking the next step in setting up a new Colorado facility in Hudson.

The Trump administration is steering billions of dollars toward defense technologies. At the same time, the president’s sons are investing in the companies that stand to benefit. America's defense priorities should be driven by our national security, not the Trump family's bottom line.

Less than a month after declaring victory on this unnecessary war that the President started, we're right back to blockades and strikes on Iran. This President started this war without a strategy and has no strategy to end it. Gas prices are climbing, and Americans are paying the price.

The projected price tag of Trump’s illegal war of choice in Iran: $1 trillion Imagine what that money could do if we invested it in schools, housing, and health care instead of sending working-class kids to die.

Trump wants to shut down the government in September to force Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act, rig the midterm elections, and disenfranchise millions of American citizens. If the government shuts down in September, remember one man was cheerleading for that outcome all along: Donald Trump.

Thank you to all the first responders and firefighters putting themselves in harm’s way to combat the wildfires up near the Boundary Waters. Everyone in the area should listen to the guidance of state and local officials. Stay safe Minnesota!

Minnesota has stood up for so many women by protecting access to reproductive healthcare. Rep. Morrison and I talked with Minnesotans about what’s at stake: health centers closing, women traveling further for care and paying more. When our rights are threatened, we don't wait. We take action.

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” has been law for over a year now, and it’s clear who won: rich people and big corporations who got a giant tax cut. They benefited while health care and food assistance were ripped away from millions of families across the country. Don’t forget that.
