When was the last time Trump pulled into a gas station and paid for a tank of gas? My guess is never.

Recently, I participated in a Health Summit Roundtable with the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies. I shared my story as a caregiver and the importance of addressing health disparities so that every person in this country is able to access quality care. 1/2

Tulsi Gabbard probably sees the writing on the wall with the firings of Bondi and Noem. How much election interference is she willing to do to stay in Trump’s good graces?

I got a letter from hundreds of U.S. career diplomats who were FIRED before Donald Trump's war with Iran. You won't believe what they had to say.

In Nevada, we know better than anyone else the impact that sports can have on a local community. Great to join the NFL on Capitol Hill to talk about the intersection of sports and tourism – and how excited Las Vegas is that the Super Bowl will be back in 2029 for the second time in 5 years!

For the first time in over 50 years, humans flew around the Moon. That didn't happen by accident. It happened because thousands of people committed to doing something hard. That's what America can achieve when we put differences aside and work together. Let's remember that.

That’s unacceptable, that’s why I support the Momnibus to help improve maternal health outcomes and make sure every mom gets the high-quality care she deserves. #BMHW26 www.michiganpublic.org/health/2026-...

During Black Maternal Health Week, we’re facing a reality we can’t ignore. In Michigan and across the country, Black women still face higher risks during pregnancy and are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from complications.

No one should be paying hundreds of dollars for their life-saving insulin. My bipartisan INSULIN Act will ensure this is the case—capping insulin costs at just $35 per month to deliver real financial relief to those living with diabetes.

Binance has reportedly facilitated billions of dollars for Iranian sanctions evasion & illicit Russian oil sales. As a part of my PSI investigation, I’m demanding information on Binance’s compliance with its DOJ/FinCEN anti-money laundering settlements.

Libraries are critical for incarcerated Americans seeking to get the education and skills they need to successfully reenter society. I’m introducing two bills with @cleaver.house.gov to expand library resources and reduce recidivism.

Update on where things stand on FISA: this deal is a win. We got the House to back down from an 18 month extension, buying us time to negotiate on real reforms. I'll be fighting like hell for reforms that put your privacy first, and will have more to share soon.

And we’re also going to need even bigger solutions – like having AI companies pay for some of this transition – in order to fully get ahead. We need bold policy solutions to meet this moment… and I’m continuing to press for action daily.

ICE is killing American citizens in the streets, violently pulling people out of their cars, shooting them with pepper balls, all while the death toll of individuals in ICE custody grows — and Republicans want to give MORE funding to ICE? ICE needs reforms. Not a blank check.

Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars. I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.

War in the Middle East. ICE unleashing violence on our streets. Health care ripped away from millions. This is why the President is so desperate to suppress the vote.

Glad to hear that the Strait of Hormuz is open again. Of course, Iran can close it again at any time. Trump’s expensive, dangerous, and unnecessary war has allowed Iran to weaponize the Strait. Iran controls it and there is no going back. Thanks, Trump.

Donald Trump's war of choice has left our farmers paying the price. Today, I was in Mt. Horeb to talk with farmers about how the illegal war in Iran is driving up fertilizer and fuel prices. This war needs to end, now.

Every airplane ticket includes a fee intended to support security – but more than $13 billion collected from the fee is redirected elsewhere. That’s why I helped advance a bipartisan bill through committee to ensure these dollars actually go toward security!

Nevada’s tourism economy depends on safe and secure air travel. To keep up with an evolving security environment, we must continue investing in screening technology improvements to ensure travel safety at airports.

For all Trump cares, gas could be $100 a gallon. Skyrocketing fuel prices don’t affect him. But that’s not reality for the vast majority of Americans. We need to bring down costs ASAP.

While Trump gave tax cuts to billionaires, 70,000 Arizonans have already lost their health insurance this year because of rising costs. I’m working to lower premiums and protect Medicaid so our families can keep their doctors and rural clinics can keep their doors open.

Predatory for-profit colleges provide low-quality education, worthless degrees, & crushing student debt. I sent a letter to Illinois principals, counselors, & teachers to encourage them to warn college-bound students & their families about the risks associated with attending for-profit colleges.
