$40 billion in taxpayer dollars for an illegal war in Iran or education for children with disabilities. Which would you choose?

Clean energy will win, Trump’s fossil fuel corruption notwithstanding. (I actually think fossil crashes faster as costs become more evident.)

Democrats are going to force Senate Republicans to vote on amendment after amendment about Trump’s ballroom, about Trump’s corrupt slush fund, and the rising costs of Trump’s war. They will not be able to hide.

The death penalty isn’t reserved for the worst of the worst. It’s only reserved for the poorest of the poor. It’s time to end the federal death penalty once and for all. I just introduced a bill to BAN it.

Yesterday, Blanche refused to say Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund wouldn't be used to pay off convicted Jan 6 rioters & child molesters. I'm offering an amendment to prevent these criminals from getting a penny of your tax dollars. Will Republicans send your money to criminals & pedophiles?

We’re seeing Republicans manufacture a reason for another regime change war in front of our very eyes—this time in Cuba. I was sent to fight abroad with other working class kids by the same type of DC war hawks. We must say no to more forever wars.

Russia, under the bloody leadership of Vladimir Putin, has committed terrible wartime atrocities—one of the most horrific being the kidnapping of thousands of Ukrainian children. Lantratova’s appointment is a cynical slap in the face to Ukraine.

America First was just a marketing slogan because Trump First doesn’t sell. It’s always been about Trump. Trump’s finances. Trump’s family. Trump’s name on everything. Meanwhile your gas, groceries, housing, and healthcare costs keep rising. You should be a priority, not an afterthought.

I first met Barney Frank when I was in law school and he was a state legislator, but I really got to know him when we worked closely together on Dodd-Frank. He was a “wicked smaht,” courageous leader and he’ll be very missed.

The Senate has taken an important step towards ending Trump's illegal war in Iran. This war has been a failure to the highest degree. I promise to keep holding this President accountable. My Republican colleagues need to do the same.

Trump’s DOJ granted him and his family immunity from tax audits, giving his family a license to commit tax fraud. Trump doesn’t have to pay his taxes. Meanwhile he’s using American tax dollars to line the pockets of his family and his far-right cronies.

When I talk to people back home, they want Congress to address rising gas prices, health care costs, energy bills—all of the stress that's being put on their pocketbooks. What are Republicans doing instead? Fighting for $1 BILLION for Trump's ballroom.

Every other president in modern history has released their tax returns. Not only has Trump failed to do so, now he has a license from his own administration not to have his taxes checked – a license to cheat and rip off the government.

Workers need to be at the center of any trade deal the U.S. makes. For too long, jobs have been shipped offshore & China has been cheating. Enough is enough. The President needs to stand up for the people who make our economy & country go round: workers. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/20/c...

Trump’s planning for his reckless Iran war has been a disaster. He wanted to put former President Ahmadinejad in charge, who supports the Iran nuclear program. Then Trump tried to “free” him but injured him instead. This is not a joke. This war has been Trump’s mistake from the start. End it now.

Barney Frank was one of the sharpest, most dedicated lawmakers I’ve ever worked with. Under his leadership, we passed the historic Dodd-Frank bill, which made comprehensive reforms to Wall Street after the 2008 financial crisis.

Barney Frank was a fearless champion for working families, and a pioneering trailblazer for LGBTQ+ rights whose courage opened doors for so many. His wit, wisdom, and unwavering commitment to justice shaped our nation for the better. My deepest condolences to Jim and all those who loved him.

The Trump Administration just authorized the sale of flavored vapes across the country, even though these products addict children & expose them to harmful chemicals. I sent a letter to RFK Jr. demanding that he push back on this corrupt decision if he really is committed to his MAHA agenda.

Gas is over $4.50 a gallon. Grocery prices had the biggest one-month jump in nearly four years. Electricity bills are up by as much as 13%. Naturally, today, Senate Republicans are taking your tax dollars and trying to pour it into Trump's ballroom.

The Trump Admin should focus on lowering costs, not forcing neighborhood community banks and credit unions to enforce immigration laws. I saw this coming and introduced legislation to stop this overreach. Americans deserve access to financial services without fear, surveillance, or intimidation.
