The Trump administration’s plans to seize and sell Venezuelan oil are an invitation to corruption and cronyism. There is no legal or moral authority for Trump’s oil imperialism. Secretary Wright owes Congress and the American people answers. Who will foot the bill for Trump’s slippery scheme?

Trump isn't even trying to hide why he attacked Venezuela: OIL. Americans don't want a war with Venezuela—especially not one to enrich oil executives. Oil profits are not worth putting American lives at risk. No war. No occupation. No "boots on the ground."

Trump’s recent actions—illegal military strikes, chaotic tariffs, disrespectful rhetoric— weaken relations with key allies and drive our neighbors further into the arms of our adversaries like China and put Americans’ economic and national security at risk. www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...

So Trump can find the money to pay every citizen of Greenland $100K, but won’t do anything to keep Americans’ health care premiums from doubling?

Wisconsin family farms are hurting because of Trump’s unnecessary trade war. Today, I heard from farmers in Cambridge about how they’ve been navigating these crushing tariffs and what the rise in costs means for their business. It’s not good, folks.

We don't "need" Greenland. We need a President who delivers on their promises. We need to pass a health care plan. We need to lower costs. We need to end the chaos.

Republicans passed a $75 BILLION budget for ICE, and are funding an enormous armada in Venezuela, but somehow can’t find the money to keep your health insurance costs down.

The Trump economy is not working for working Americans. Pres. Trump’s tariffs are driving up costs & his billionaire giveaways are hurting Main Street. I’m fighting for lower costs & economic policies that work for everyday RIers.

Nevada faces unique challenges when it comes to affordable housing, and we need to find unique solutions. I want to thank @warren.senate.gov for convening a housing roundtable in the Senate where I highlighted how I’m working to make sure every Nevada family can afford a place to call home.

Trump isn't just driving your prices up, he's also making it harder for you to find a job. Meanwhile, he's more focused on running foreign countries than helping the middle-class families he's neglecting here at home.

The House passed a bipartisan three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that Republicans voted to cut just last summer. It’s the critical next step in making sure all Americans have access to affordable, accessible, and universal health care. The Senate needs to vote on this ASAP.

One of the most corrupt presidents in history says his use of military force is only constrained by his “morality.” That should alarm every American.

Let me repeat: 2025 was the worst year for job growth outside of a recession since 2003. Trump's economic policy has been nothing short of a disaster since the start. How about instead of starting wars with foreign countries, we fix our problems here at home?

Today, President Trump is meeting with Big Oil CEOs. Trump must not give these companies billions in handouts and stick American taxpayers with the bill. And oil execs should commit now: no taxpayer subsidies, no special favors from the White House.

Early in my career, I learned that Americans need 3 things to feel secure: A roof over their head, a good-paying job and support in case they get sick. That's why I'm not giving up on the fight to address the cost of living and ensure Americans can afford their health insurance.

Last year, Trump gave $20 billion in U.S. taxpayer dollars to Argentina. Now, he wants to pay Greenlanders tens of thousands of dollars each to take their land. But when it comes to lowering Americans’ health care, child care, and grocery costs, there’s no money in the bank.

It’s important that state & local officials are involved in investigating this shooting. Under the Trump administration, DHS is nothing more than a miserable propaganda machine. We need answers & accountability. Our cities are not training grounds for trigger-happy DHS agents.

One day after ICE killed a mom in Minneapolis, Trump's agents shot two more people in Portland. How does Trump and his team respond? Not remorse. Not empathy. Just declaring the cases closed before the facts come to light, then covering them up by blocking local investigators.

ICE has done nothing to keep our communities safer. ICE agents are terrorizing folks in Oregon and across the country. I’m demanding full accountability—an investigation that involves Oregon officials—and ICE to immediately end these dangerous operations in Oregon.

There seems to be some confusion over at the White House about the difference between supporting the Venezuelan people’s fight for democracy & invading Venezuela to grab their oil for Trump’s billionaire buddies. Here’s a hint: one of them is an act of war. Hope this helps 👍!

Today's vote to advance our resolution to block further military action in Venezuela was significant. We'll now have a full debate on the Senate floor over the President's use of U.S. military forces, and a mission that seems to be far more about oil revenues than drugs.
