How the economy changes can be complicated, but this isn’t. Trump started a war no one asked for and sent energy costs surging. He forced tariffs that made nearly everything more expensive. You're paying more because of Trump—period.

Gas prices just had the largest monthly jump in six decades. Trump’s war of choice in Iran is directly driving up prices and crushing hard-working Americans.

Donald Trump taxed families and small businesses with $175 billion in illegal tariffs last year. Today would be a good day for Trump to pay them back.

Our first responders put their lives on the line to keep us safe. That’s why I fought to pass the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act to ensure that we support families of first responders who pass away or are permanently disabled by service-related cancers.

I do not recognize America in ICE’s cruelty. CT is standing behind Rihan & his family who came from Afghanistan to escape torture & death because they helped our troops & kept them safe. Free Rihan & abandon this abhorrent effort.

Asked the Artemis II crew what kind of ride they're in for on reentry — going from nearly 40x the speed of sound to a 20 mph Pacific splashdown. Won’t be as smooth as a space shuttle landing but I know they can handle it. So proud of this crew.

Coloradans are paying over 30% more for gas since Trump launched his war in Iran – yet he's easing sanctions on Russian and Iranian oil exports. Russia is raking in $150M PER DAY, funding its unjustified war in Ukraine and reportedly helping Iran target U.S. troops.

Nevada is a world-class destination with so much to offer, but fewer travelers are visiting this year amidst the chaos caused by the Trump Admin’s cost-hiking actions. Donald Trump’s reckless policies are bad for Nevada’s economy & businesses.

Inflation at a two-year high, gas prices soaring, weekly grocery trips outpacing your paycheck. This illegal war with Iran is creating a cost of living crisis for working families.

Rather than coming to the table and negotiating with Democrats, Republicans refused to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits. The result: Spiking premiums that are squeezing American families when they can least afford it.

Trump promised to lower costs and “defeat inflation” on day 1. Instead, inflation rates are higher than they were when he took office. Trump’s senseless tariffs and chaotic foreign policy agenda are not working for the U.S. economy.

Remember when Trump promised to "end inflation?" Well, instead, you got a President who is directly responsible for driving up inflation—all thanks to a war he didn't have to start and tariffs no one wanted.

President Trump’s 2027 budget includes cuts to energy assistance, cancer research, and infrastructure to help pay for more funding for ICE and his mass deportation agenda. The President’s animus toward immigrants will mean less assistance for the Americans who need it most.

Costs are up. Chaos is up. And corruption is up. This Administration is not focused on bringing down prices. Instead, they have dragged us into a war in the Middle East and trade wars across the globe.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s illegal war on Iran is a tax hike on American small businesses and families. Enough. End the war, end Trump’s affordability crisis, and end the pain on Main Street.

President Trump said he would bring down prices on day one, and called himself the “President of Peace.” Fast forward to today: inflation is the highest it’s been in two years thanks to his dangerous, illegal war in Iran.

Next week, Republicans will have another chance to vote with us to end the war in Iran. @sanders.senate.gov & I will also call for a vote to stop the sale of US taxpayer-funded weapons to the Netanyahu gov, which has used them in violation of international law. We must end these wars.

A temporary “ceasefire” was negotiated, yet bombs are still flying, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, and the death toll tragically continues to rise. This regime owes Americans answers on what the hell is going on. How are they going to end this war of choice?
