Everything just keeps getting more expensive, and groceries are no exception. That’s why earlier today I tried to pass my bill to exempt your groceries from Trump’s cost-raising tariffs – but Senate Republicans blocked it because they’d rather make YOU pay more than stand up to Donald Trump.

NEWS: The House of Representatives just passed an extension of the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced premium tax credits, protecting access to quality, affordable health care for 22 million Americans. Will Senate Republicans join Democrats to save health care?

“Make no mistake, this was part of the President’s vindictive war on Colorado because he is frustrated with our state for not bending the knee. Today marks another grim day for the future of our democracy.” Read my statement on the House’s decision to uphold Trump’s veto of the Finish the AVC Act.

Trump is more focused on imperialist ambitions abroad than he is on lowering costs at home. 22 million Americans just had their health care costs skyrocket. Why are we talking about aggression towards Greenland?

🚨House Democrats and 17 Republicans just came together to pass a 3-year extension of the ACA subsidies. Now it's time for my Republican colleagues in the Senate to step up and send this bill to the President’s desk. 24 million Americans are counting on us.

BREAKING: The House just passed a bill to extend the ACA tax credits for three years. Now, it's up to the Senate. Leader Thune: let the Senate vote on this bill to SAVE health care. I'm ready to vote YES to bring premiums down for millions of Americans.

American families are getting flattened under sky-high costs for just about everything — groceries, rent, health care. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's focused on making his gold-encrusted ballroom even taller.

Since Speaker Johnson refuses to display the Jan 6 plaque, the Senate unanimously agreed to display it on our side of the Capitol. Speaker Johnson, go dig the plaque out of whatever hole you’ve been hiding it in.

Republicans passed a $75 billion budget for ICE – bigger than almost every military on earth. They’ve deployed thousands of poorly-vetted agents. Agents act with impunity because this admin acts like they can. But ICE is not above the law. We need a full, real investigation.

Trump took military action against Venezuela without Congress’s consent. That is unconstitutional. The Senate spoke: this must stop now. If force is truly necessary, Trump must go to Congress and make the case to the American people—not launch reckless wars for oil. youtube.com/shorts/t1OgS...

Without a clear plan approved by Congress, this Administration is dragging us toward another forever war that would risk American lives and cost significant taxpayer dollars. Our resources would be better spent on lowering costs, from groceries to housing to childcare, for Americans here at home.

Today, I voted to block military actions in Venezuela.

Today’s vote on Venezuela was an important one. Americans are hurting—it’s time for Trump to prioritize them and stop waging war.

ICE has become an unchecked, paramilitary force. It's past time for some accountability. Sending masked federal agents into our neighborhoods like this does not make us safer. It only risks more tragic events like we saw in Minnesota yesterday. We cannot go on like this.

My bipartisan War Powers Resolution has advanced in the Senate—meaning America will finally see a public debate on whether we should be engaging in a war in Venezuela. Next week, every senator will go on the record about whether our sons and daughters should be sent to war.

Servicemembers’ parents are calling me worried – they don’t want their kids deployed abroad in a conflict with no clear objectives or end. What is the plan here? Why don’t we have any answers for them?

These international orgs provide basic health care for women & children, advance democracy, and address extreme weather events. Trump’s withdrawal allows our adversaries like China to fill the vacuum and damages our interests around the world. How does this make America great again?

This is D.C. at its worst. Every single U.S. House member supported this bill to bring clean water to Southeastern CO before Christmas — Democrats & Republicans. But they refused to stick to their guns & override Trump’s retaliatory veto. Rural Colorado is paying the price for these political games.

Kristi Noem has had a disgraceful tenure marked by chaos, brutality, and rampant corruption. She should resign or be fired immediately. The question for the American people is, will this Republican-led Congress join Democrats in pushing for any accountability?

Wisconsin farmers wouldn’t need a bailout if Trump didn’t put their livelihoods on the line with his reckless trade war. The worst part is, his bailout is just a Band-Aid on a bullet wound for our farmers. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

All they have to do is tell Bondi and Patel to let it happen. Takes one phone call. We all saw the videos with our own eyes. We all know their narrative isn’t true, no matter how much they want it to be.

If Trump and Vance were truly confident in their (false) narrative around the ICE killing in Minneapolis, they’d allow a joint investigation with state law enforcement.

Venezuela is about money. It's a total smash and grab. As Americans get poorer, Trump stays focused on lining the pockets of billionaires.

First, they said it was about stopping illegal drugs. Now, they say it is about starting oil deliveries to the U.S. In order to create a presidential slush fund. Same corrupt regime in Venezuela. And at home.

A horrific act of gun violence took six innocent lives and wounded @gabbygiffords.bsky.social 15 years ago. We honor those we lost and uplift powerful voices like Gabby’s for change. Her courage inspires me every day and I’m proud to fight alongside her and millions of Americans to end gun violence.

President Trump's actions in Venezuela have set a dangerous precedent. It's certainly not worth U.S. blood to commandeer oil that is not going to lower prices at the pump. My hope is Republicans will continue to join Democrats in reasserting the role of Congress.

By now you've probably seen the tragic video of an ICE agent shooting a Minnesota woman as she tried to drive away. The agent responsible for this tragedy must be brought to justice, and it's time for Secretary Noem to resign.

Donald Trump is President of, by, and for Wall Street. Megabank CEOs are cashing in on his deregulation to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Meanwhile, families are struggling with overdraft fees, credit card bills, auto loan payments, and more. It's rigged.

Southeastern Coloradans have fought for generations for access to clean water. But, President Trump used the first veto of his second term to stop my bipartisan bill to help provide the clean water they were promised, as further retribution against Colorado. [1/2]

First, they lied about what we saw on video when ICE killed Renee Good. Now, they're politicizing the investigation by freezing out Minnesota authorities, so the full truth may never see the light of day. They are breaking our country. We must continue demanding accountability.

BIG: 5 Republicans voted with Democrats to advance the war powers resolution and say HELL NO to Trump trampling the Constitution to attack Venezuela. This was the discharge petition; we’ll have another vote to pass it. I’ll keep you posted. We’re fighting like hell to get this done.

Quantum computing is the future, but to remain at the forefront we must invest in our quantum research centers and give scientists the resources they need. I cosponsored the bipartisan National Quantum Initiative Reauthorization Act to ensure the U.S. continues to lead the quantum revolution.

President Trump is ignoring the problems he has caused in our OWN country, all to start a war NO ONE asked for in Venezuela with no legitimate justification, no concern for the servicemembers being put in harm’s way, and absolutely NO long-term strategy.

The FBI must work with the professionals at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer yesterday. This has to be about justice, not politics.

NEW: The Senate advanced a bipartisan resolution to block further military action in Venezuela unless authorized by Congress. Our message is clear: Trump cannot continue to march us into another forever war with no end state. Focus on running America.
