Trump campaigned against forever wars. But by returning to full-scale war in Iran, he's dragging us into another endless conflict, breaking his promise yet again. Trump's war has been a disaster for the American people, he must end it now.

BREAKING: Democrats tried to stop AI prior authorization in Medicare. Republicans blocked it—apparently they agree with Trump that AI knows better when it comes to health care decisions for our seniors. This isn't the end. We'll keep fighting back.

This week I questioned Dr. Schwartz, Trump’s nominee to lead the CDC, and I’m concerned. Not because she’s not qualified— she is. But because this administration has shown a pattern of undermining the independence of qualified leaders and our public health demands better.

NEW: ABC, Meta, and Paramount gave Trump's presidential library up to $56.5 MILLION to settle lawsuits. Now, financial disclosures show missing money and millions in expenses with no explanation. Where is the money? Americans deserve answers. I'm pressing for them.

Sen. Ossoff: Tonight, Donald Trump, the world's most famous sore loser, will deliver a prime time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election.

Trump’s election speech tonight is not about the 2020 election—it is a threat against the election he's afraid to lose in November. Trump knows he can’t defend Republicans' disastrous record, so he’s trying to discredit voters who will judge it in November.

Just now on the Senate floor, I called for an END to the AI program that is delaying and denying seniors the health care they deserve. We're voting right now: my colleagues should join me and END AI prior authorization in Medicare.

I asked Todd Blanche to clarify if he truly thinks it is Trump's "right" and "duty" to order investigations and prosecutions against his enemies. The only thing he clarified is his intention to continue helping Trump misuse the DOJ as his personal law firm.

When we invest in civic education for kids starting at a young age, we raise responsible and engaged adults. It was important to meet with iCivics, especially as we celebrate America's 250th birthday, to talk about what we need to do to make an impact in NJ classrooms.

Yesterday, I was recognized by the National Retail Federation in honor of my advocacy for retailers & consumers in Congress. NRF has been a strong ally in the fight against credit card swipe fees, & I hope Congress will finally pass my Credit Card Competition Act to lower costs for Americans.

We’ve known for years that foreign governments have attempted to influence our elections – many supporting President Trump. But the fact is, the IC resoundingly found that no foreign governments successfully interfered in the 2020 election.

Tonight is a critical moment for our democracy. Trump is going to use his address to lay the groundwork to interfere in our elections. Follow the facts. Don’t let him mislead you. Our elections are secure and freely administered.

For the past 4 years, the 988 Lifeline has been a lifesaving resource. Last year, the Administration ended specialized 988 services for LGBTQ+ youth, leaving many without critical specialized mental health support. We must fight to ensure every young person has access to the care they need.

Navy Federal Credit Union already agreed to pay back $80 million in illegal overdraft fees to veterans and service members. Then Russell Vought tore up the order and killed the deal. He says the order was unlawful. What's actually unlawful is stiffing our troops out of the $80 million they're owed.

It's never been more expensive to buy a home. This is one of the biggest crises of our lifetime but Trump, a billionaire who owns multiple homes, thinks it's more important to try and rig the next election than deliver relief to the middle class. Pathetic. apnews.com/article/inte...

DOGE quietly deleted itself, saying, “its mission had come to an end.” The kicker? Elon Musk’s pet project increased the deficit. Mission not accomplished.

I opposed the $1.1 trillion NDAA because it does not end President Trump’s unauthorized war with Iran, does not safeguard against the military being used domestically, and fails to justify its historic cost as Americans grapple with soaring food and energy prices. (1/2)

The Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in MD develops the food safety practices that prevent food-borne illnesses like Cyclospora. Yet, this admin is trying to close BARC with a half-baked plan that threatens critical research, wastes taxpayer money, & risks more outbreaks.

Workers depend on timely processing to continue providing for their families and contributing to our economy. I’m demanding USCIS explain how they’re planning to work through this backlog.

There’s currently a backlog of nearly 12 million visa applications, some of which require processing before individuals can file for work permits to be able to work legally in our country. This threatens workers’ jobs, employers’ ability to keep staff, and our ability to prevent costs from going up.

Donald Trump has given up on winning over hearts and minds. Now he’s focused on undermining the upcoming midterm election. That’s what his speech tonight will be about. But in America, voters choose our leaders – not the other way around. And we will fight like hell to preserve that principle.

Todd Blanche talks a lot, but he doesn't really say much. Good thing he doesn't have to. Because actions speak louder than words, and since day one, his actions have proved he's unfit to be Attorney General.

We should make it easier, not harder for Americans to build their financial futures. But Vought’s CFPB has made changes that only make it more complex. He’s testifying today in front of the Senate Banking Committee. I have some questions for him.

Trump is proudly selling off our public lands to the highest bidder. Never forget he promised Big Oil everything if they just contributed to his campaign. But we shouldn't just accept this sell-off. Keep speaking up. We can protect America the beautiful.
