Trump's illegal war of choice is making your life more expensive. Republicans in Congress must join us in voting to end it.

Schoolyards should be places where kids can learn and explore and have some fun. Today I got the chance to visit with students at Polk Middle School and hear about how their school garden gives them a hands-on outdoor education.

Spent a great afternoon in Southwest Ohio today with @repgreglandsman.bsky.social at a town hall with local farmers. We had an important conversation about how we are working together for a bipartisan Farm Bill, year round E15 and trade policy that actually helps farmers.

Americans want lower costs, not forever conflicts. Trump’s reckless handling of his illegal war with Iran will only continue to cost you for months to come.

Local small businesses are biggest engine of economic growth. Great to speak with the LA Chamber of Commerce and hear directly from business leaders and entrepreneurs. We must ensure that we have an economy that works for everyone.

In February, Massachusetts experienced a blizzard that battered businesses and infrastructure, shut off power, and buried communities under historic levels of snow. I’m joining with my colleagues in the MA delegation to urge FEMA to approve Gov. Healey’s request for needed relief.

More than 400 hospitals are at risk of closing thanks to Trump's "big, ugly bill." This will hit rural families—they'll now have to drive even farther before they can get care—if it's not too late by then. This is what happens when you prioritize billionaires & bombs over Americans.

Polluters celebrate “consequential” Trump EPA. “Consequences” are dirtier water and air and rapidly worsening economic dangers. Sick stuff.

On AANHPI Equal Pay Day, it’s important we recognize that the wage gap persists for AANHPI women. Today, we must acknowledge how harmful and prevalent these inequities are in the workplace, and reaffirm our commitment to securing gender pay equity.

Donald Trump’s tariffs have taken a toll on small businesses as they struggle to keep their doors open and plan for the future. Small businesses in Nevada are being hurt by this unpredictability, and I will not stop fighting to exempt them from the president's cost-raising tariffs.

NATO is an indispensable force for democracy and peace that plays a key role in keeping America safe. Trump may continue to throw an anti-NATO temper tantrum, but his hands are tied—because of my legislation, he cannot unilaterally withdraw from it. time.com/article/2026...

Donald Trump is using foreign steel to build his gold-encrusted ballroom. It's a slap in the face to every American steelworker. "America First" was always just a slogan to Trump.

This ballroom is a huge waste of money and the President’s time – and he’s not even supporting American companies and American workers. So much for America first.

Right now, the math isn’t adding up for middle-class families. Groceries, gas, and housing costs are all high. People need a break. My Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act will put money back in your pocket, and it’s paid for by making rich people finally pay their fair share.

Trump entered into this war of choice without consulting Congress or our European allies. Now, he wants to punish NATO for not backing him when he was making threats like “a whole civilization will die.”

Driven by vanity & vengeance, Trump seems bent on destroying NATO, a catastrophic self inflicted injury to national security. European allies look askance at his Iran war of impulse & illusion for the same reasons Americans oppose it.

The question before us now is how did any of this make us safer? How is America better off? How did Congressional Republicans allow this unhinged, warmonger President to drag us into this mess in the first place? I intend to demand accountability.

Where Congress should be a check on Trump’s every abuse of power—this Republican Congress is shamefully absent, even when he threatens to wipe out an entire country. My message to every American: you are voting in the fall. Your voice and your vote matter. You are not powerless.

The ceasefire agreement Donald Trump brokered to end his war with Iran should be reducing violence. Instead, Israel's escalated bombing undermined peace and killed hundreds of innocent civilians in Lebanon. The U.S. needs to do everything we can to stop this civilian slaughter.

Gas prices are soaring and Nevadans are experiencing some of the highest gas prices in the nation. Hardworking Nevada families were already struggling to get by because of climbing grocery and health care costs. The Trump Admin is unfocused, and they're not making life more affordable for you.

If you weren't thinking about the Strait of Hormuz and skyrocketing gas prices before Trump started his war, it appears nobody at the Treasury Department was either. That's according to a top Treasury official who was asked by my staff.

The White House, an iconic symbol of America, is the last place you’d expect foreign steel. Trump’s corrupt desecration knows no bounds. Without Congress approving, it’s blatantly illegal. I’ll continue investigating the problematic donations.

Donald Trump and JD Vance see Orban as a model to be emulated: a wannabe dictator, eager to erode the rule of law and consolidate power over the courts, the media, and every aspect of public life. 🧵

Every time I think that this administration can’t get any more hostile to public lands, they outdo themselves. Now they want to shut down regional offices for the U.S. Forest Service and reorganize how we fight fires – just as we’re heading into fire season.

When it comes to housing, we can't just focus on one piece of the puzzle. We need housing at every level. For the person trying to buy their first home, for someone looking for an apartment, for families using a Section 8 voucher. All of it.
