Great to stop by Renton Technical College to see how the federal investments I secured are helping prepare our future air and space manufacturing workforce. I will always fight for investments in education and our workforce—especially as Trump tries to demolish the Department of Education.

Trump's America is all about high prices for groceries and gas. This November, we will stop Trump from continuing his harmful campaign against working Americans. Enough is enough.

Pam Bondi weaponized the Department of Justice against Trump’s imagined enemies and butchered the release of the Epstein files. Good riddance. The DOJ needs to operate with full independence and integrity, serving only the rule of law, not the rule of Trump.

Trump is driving up costs to fight a war the American people had no say in. We are poorer than we were six weeks ago.

Whether you are a President, a Senator, the Secretary of Defense, or a civil servant, no one should be able to make money off insider information. Period.

Good riddance. Bondi was Trump’s tool for weaponizing the DOJ against his political foes & defying the law. She's only out b/c she’s bungled the Epstein files cover-up. Her replacement will also be a Trump puppet. We must remain vigilant & protect the truth & our Constitution.

One year ago, President Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs. We’ve seen massive layoffs, small businesses close, and the average family pay an extra $1,745 since. He must end these trade wars, which are harming working families.

In the first six months of Trump’s 2nd term, the DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases—including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, fraud, and drug trafficking. How does that make us more safe? www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Washington Republicans kicked families off SNAP and made massive health care cuts, stretching Americans’ budgets to the limit. If that wasn’t bad enough, Nevadans are now paying the highest gas prices in the past four years. Hardworking families need relief.

House Republicans continue to extend the DHS shutdown for no reason. This morning, the Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed a bill to fund everything at DHS besides ICE & Border Patrol AGAIN. The House could have passed this TODAY. Speaker Johnson—stop playing games & pass this bill ASAP.

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.

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.

This is a tough time for Michigan's family farmers. I hear their uncertainty every day. And I know there is more to be done. I appreciate the Secretary's engagement on this issue, and encourage all eligible Michigan farmers to apply. www.fsa.usda.gov/news-events/...

Earlier this week, USDA announced that specialty crop farmers will have an extension until April 24 to submit their 2025 acreage to USDA. This is an important step to make sure our smallest and most diversified farmers can apply for this funding.

Last week, I spoke directly with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins to outline my concern that Michigan's specialty crop farmers are being unfairly treated as part of UDSA’s farmer assistance package.

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.

This is exactly why I’ve fought back against these reckless tariffs at every turn — and now that the Supreme Court has ruled many of them illegal, it’s time for this Administration to pay Coloradans back.

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.

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.

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.
