Former Air Force Sergeant Dave Crete brought this injustice to light — and thanks to his advocacy, we’re making progress on my legislation to finally get these veterans the care and benefits they deserve.
- JR
Because these veterans don't have the same presumption of exposure as the Department of Energy civilians they served alongside and struggled documenting their service due to classification, they've been denied VA benefits for far too long.
- JR
Many veterans who served at the Nevada Test and Training Range were exposed to radiation and toxins during their service and got sick because of it.

This is a long overdue first step, and we need to continue building on the momentum. My SHIPS for America Act would let us move even faster to bring the Coast Guard and the maritime industry into the 21st century.

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.

Trump stormed out of an interview after he was challenged on his baseless claims about election rigging. His inability to accept the truth is leading to an administration filled with unqualified yes-men.

I'll be fighting like hell between now and June 12 to ensure Congress doesn't cave and renew Section 702 of FISA without real reforms. Security and liberty aren't mutually exclusive, and it seems like Congress is finally starting to understand that.

We have never seen a coalition like the one that stood up against the plan to rubber-stamp this spying authority. Elected officials from both sides of the aisle are waking up to the fact that NO president should have this power.
- RW
Bill Pulte's appointment to be Acting DNI was the final straw. Pulte has no business overseeing a warrantless spying program for Donald Trump, Democrats understand that. That said, anyone Trump nominates to this position will likely be a disastrous steward of these powers.
- RW
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!

Back at First Avenue last night for the National Independent Venue Association’s annual conference. ⭐ Thanks to Dayna Frank for hosting. I fought to pass the Save Our Stages Act because independent venues bring people together, support local jobs, and strengthen our communities.

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.

Trump is completely unhinged. He promised to lower costs. Instead, his tariffs, health care cuts, and war with Iran have sent prices soaring. While Americans struggle to pay their bills, he's focused on settling scores and chasing crazy conspiracy theories. Enough is enough.
