Today, we Purple Up by wearing purple to honor the resilience of military kids in Colorado and across the country. We're proud to stand with our military families – and the tens of thousands of Colorado kids navigating unique challenges while their parents serve and protect our nation.

70% of Minnesotans do NOT want copper nickel mining near the Boundary Waters. The Senate has a chance to do right by them by leaving the mining moratorium in place.

Before Trump’s war of choice with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz was open. Now it's closed, your gas prices are climbing, and the president still cannot explain how any of this makes America safer.

This week, I met with Japanese State Minister Horii Iwao to discuss the current state of the U.S.-Japan alliance, as well as the importance of the U.S.-ROK-Japan trilateral relationship. 1/2

Americans are paying a steep price for Pres. Trump’s reckless and repeated mistakes in Iran. It is past time he seriously pursues a diplomatic, not military, solution to the war. Democrats will continue working to responsibly end Trump’s war abroad & lower costs at home.

The war in Sudan has raged on for too long, causing unspeakable suffering with too little attention from the world. I call on the Trump administration and the international community to do more to facilitate access to humanitarian aid, end this war, and hold perpetrators of this violence to account.

Grateful to the Maryland African Chamber of Commerce and Vincent Iweanoge for the invitation to celebrate African diaspora women who power our communities. When we rise together, we all rise.

Today I asked the top nonpartisan budget official in our government an important question. What single piece of legislation has contributed most to the national debt in the last decade? The answer? Trump's Big Ugly Bill—and it's not even close.

I see this as a national security issue. In a diverse nation like ours, if people can't work hard, play by the rules and get ahead and have their kids do better, we got a real problem.

Today, USS Gerald R. Ford broke the record for the longest modern carrier deployment. Our sailors should be home with their families, not sent around the world by a President who acts like the military is his palace guard. I’m doing all I can to end the war against Iran. youtube.com/shorts/ZVWna...

The federal government – ICE, FBI, and more – is spying on you without a warrant. This week, Congress will decide whether Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Trump can keep spying on Americans. If that scares you (it should) this thread is for you.

Any way you slice it, Americans are forced to pay more under Trump’s economy.

Apparently putting his name on buildings wasn’t enough. Now, this President is literally declaring himself to be Jesus. To call this egomania is an understatement.

President Trump’s tariffs, war with Iran, and farmworker intimidation have made farming expensive and unpredictable. Today, I met with the Illinois Pork Producers Association to discuss how to restore common sense into the farm economy.

Once again, Republicans have blocked our effort to stop President Trump’s senseless war with Iran. How many more lives lost and billions of dollars wasted before they finally stand up to him?

I’m heading to the Senate floor to speak in support of the Direct File Act on Tax Day. Americans spend an average of $270 and 13 hours filing their taxes. It should be free and easy. Tune in here: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Breaking news: New York jury finds Ticketmaster/Live Nation to be an anticompetitive monopoly. FINALLY. A jury says the truth about what nearly everyone in Washington keeps denying. Now we need remedies that help fans & lower prices, unlike DOJ meaningless “settlement.”

Donald Trump is angry that his own policies have driven up prices and killed jobs, but instead of owning up to his mistakes he is looking for someone else to blame and causing even more chaos in the economy in the process.

Trump tries to stop this low-cost solar power, so electric grids have to go to expensive dirty fossil plants, raising consumer prices, by (PUNCHLINE) driving money from regular ratepayers to Trump’s big fossil fuel donors. But clean energy keeps winning!!

Donald Trump cut health care for Americans so that Meta could get a $3 billion tax cut. I asked the IRS commissioner if that was a "really good outcome for the American public." He said yes.

My statement on today’s War Powers vote in the Senate:

I voted to put a check on Trump and END his war of choice with Iran. Senate Republicans refused, and voted to continue Trump's war and keep gas prices surging. Democrats will keep forcing tough votes until this war is over and our servicemembers are home.

Every child, in every zip code, deserves a fair shot at a good education. That's why I’m introducing legislation to repeal federal vouchers and keep public funds in public schools — so schools have the resources they need to do right by our kids.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans blocked my War Powers Resolution that would have ended Trump's unnecessary, unjustified war against Iran. These cowards have had four chances to stop this chaos in the Middle East. And they put Trump's ego before America. Every damn time.

Privately? Republicans are petrified of Trump’s war. Publicly? Silence. In fact, Republicans just voted AGAINST our War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s Iran war.

Six weeks into a war with easily foreseeable problems, thousands of service members at risk, and gas prices above $4 a gallon—yet Senate Republicans for the FOURTH time blocked a resolution requiring Congress to approve further military action against Iran. They are enabling this erratic President.

47 days into the war in Iran, 13 servicemembers have been killed, many more have been injured, and now Trump is sending thousands more troops to the region. They and their families deserve clear answers about what our goals are and when this war will end.

@democrats.senate.gov forced accountability and demanded action from Republicans to tell Trump: enough is enough. The American people do not support this war, and they’re paying the price for it every day.

This is another win for our communities in the fight against ICE's mass detention facilities cropping up in our backyards. In January, I joined hundreds to demand ICE stay out of Washington Co. I commend @oagmaryland.bsky.social for his tireless work to fight back against this effort.

I just voted AGAIN to rein in Trump’s costly, deadly war in Iran… Republicans blocked it. We will keep fighting to end this horrible forever war.

The Trump Administration’s decision to gut the IRS workforce will cost $643 billion in uncollected taxes, adding to our sky-high $38 trillion debt. Without a fully staffed IRS, there is no one to ensure the wealthiest Americans are paying their fair share.

My advice to United: don’t even try. Attempting to takeover American Airlines—at a time when your customers are fed up with airline’s rising prices & nickle-&-diming—is a foolish move, likely causing harmful consequences for consumers.

I just voted to put an end to Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran for the FOURTH time. And for the FOURTH time, Republicans blocked us to let Trump spend BILLIONS more on bombs while prices across the board are skyrocketing.

As Trump’s war in Iran causes energy prices to spike, his administration is paying a French company $1 billion to NOT build offshore wind that cut Americans' electric bills. I’m urging Senate Appropriations to prevent his use of taxpayer money to block needed clean energy.

For as much as this president likes to rail against electric cars, he's made it pretty expensive to drive anything else.

I've heard it from people across New Jersey - between this war and higher prices, they feel like they're drowning. They deserve action, now. Passing a War Powers Resolution to end this war is just the first step to bring relief.

It’s quite an honor to be on the TIME 100 for 2026. When I left the Navy and NASA, I never thought I’d have to defend our rights from a White House trying to bully millions of veterans into silence. I won’t back down, because it isn’t just about me — it’s about every American.

Today is Tax Day. Trump promised tax relief. But rising costs from his war in Iran and his price-spiking tariffs have wiped out any extra tax refund Americans will see this year.

The American people deserve to know their sensitive information is safe from cyberattacks and data breaches, but the Trump Admin is weakening consumer protections designed to safeguard personal information. I’m leading a resolution to reverse this policy change and ensure your data remains secure.

HAPPENING NOW: We're forcing a vote on another War Powers Resolution – our fourth since this war began. If Republicans vote no yet again, we will continue to force votes on these resolutions every week until this war ends or Republicans finally find the courage to stand up to Donald Trump.

Where are Senate Republicans? Months into this war, they’ve refused to restrain Trump’s war of choice and have had no hearings.

Trump says his dangerous, expensive and unnecessary war with Iran could be over “very soon.” Really? So why is Trump sending another 10,000 troops to the Middle East? Trump has no idea how to end this crisis, and we are all paying for it.
