That’s bullshit. This is an illegal war and every day Republicans remain complicit and allow it to continue is another day lives are endangered, chaos erupts, and prices increase, all while Americans foot the bill.

AI pet scams are becoming increasingly rampant as people use this tech to claim they have your missing pet. The FTC ought to be warning more people about this scam’s red flags—sharing doctored photos, claiming the animal is injured, demanding money.

Proud to stand alongside my colleagues today as we confront a hard truth: this reckless war in Iran is putting lives at risk, destabilizing our world, and testing the very principles of our democracy. Watch the full video here. youtu.be/qJO_7W1uhdk?...

Every day, this regime works to undermine our laws as they abuse their power to push their corrupt, cruel, and chaotic agenda. But the rule of law is non-negotiable. And today, on Law Day, it's important that we make that clearer than ever.

We owe our local law enforcement officers a great debt of gratitude for working around the clock and putting their lives on the line to protect our communities. I’ll keep working across party lines to deliver the resources and funding they need to do their jobs safely and effectively.

Great to be in New Hampshire to support my friend @chrispappasnh.bsky.social. Chris knows the challenges families are facing, and we need him in the Senate to keep fighting for them.

We all knew this was going to happen – after Republicans ended ACA tax credits that kept health insurance affordable, millions are now dropping their coverage. It never had to be this way.

Trump gets richer while working families struggle to get by thanks to his disastrous decision making. He is the most corrupt President in history. Period.

Capping insulin costs at $35 has broad, nationwide bipartisan support, and my INSULIN Act would do just that. With cosponsors from 11 states and counting, I'm committed to getting this passed. Let's keep building momentum and pass this bill.

Drivers in Minnesota are paying $4 a gallon today. That's up more than a dollar since the start of the war with Iran. That's costing Minnesotans every mile.

I asked Pete Hegseth if he's laying the groundwork to reverse the policy on women in combat. He didn't say no, then began rambling about "the highest male standard." His overt misogyny is an insult to the sacrifice of the MILLIONS of women who serve and have served our country.

I know times feel dark right now. But now is not the time to give in to despair. Do not let cynical forces convince you that they have already won. The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice.

As prices are skyrocketing, another 120,000 Illinoisans lose their SNAP benefits today. Donald Trump and Republicans ripped away these benefits that help families, seniors and Veterans keep food on the table. And now they're illegally spending billions on an unwanted war.

Working for the American people is an immense privilege, and no one should do it with the goal of lining their own pockets. I'm glad the Senate took this step to prevent Senators and staff from using insider information to make bets via prediction markets.

Gutting the Voting Rights Act is a giant step backward for our country. A better future is possible but it requires ALL of us to make ourselves heard with our voices and our votes. It means voting in every election, staying engaged. "Democracy is not a state. It is an act."

Families are getting flattened by rising costs on just about everything from groceries to rent to gas. But what’s the top priority, according to Republicans in Congress? Fast-tracking Donald Trump’s gold-encrusted ballroom.

The costs of war include caring for our veterans. I pushed Sec. Hegseth to pledge his support for the Major Richard Star Act—vital legislation to eliminate the wounded warrior tax.

Big Oil is using Trump's war to drive up prices and rake in record profits. In just the first three months of 2026, BP made $3,200,000,000. That’s over $266 million per week. $34 million per day. $402 per *second.* My Windfall Profits Bill would return those profits to you.

There’s no pause button in the Constitution, or the War Powers Act. We’re at war. We’ve been at war for 60 days. The blockade alone is a continuing act of war. Failing to seek congressional approval, Trump is breaking the law & betraying Americans.

Trump promised the war against Iran would be over “very quickly.” It’s clear that wasn’t true, and I have serious questions about the plan going forward. Pete Hegseth’s response? Making up ridiculous new claims on the spot. youtube.com/shorts/j0XZk...

That makes two Republicans who have found the backbone to vote against Trump’s illegal, unnecessary and expensive war on Iran. After 60 days, Trump has managed to waste lives, billions of dollars, and send gas prices through the roof. To the other Republican Senators, this is now your war, too.
