Cargill plays a vital role in Colorado’s economy and communities, made possible by the people who work there. I stand with Teamsters Local 455 and urge both parties to return to the table to come to a mutually satisfactory agreement.

Today we remember Sarah Milgrim, z"l, and Yaron Lischinsky, z"l, young staff members of the Israeli Embassy who were senselessly killed while leaving an AJC event at the Capital Jewish Museum exactly one year ago. My thoughts are with their families and AJC on this tragic anniversary.

Republicans in Washington gutted health care funding, putting hundreds of rural hospitals at risk. Now they’re asking us to spend $1 billion of YOUR money on Trump’s golden ballroom. Would I rather spend that $1 billion to keep those hospitals open? You bet.

Trump’s nearly $2B MAGA slush fund is the most blatant act of corruption in US history. I will offer an amendment during vote-a-rama will be to block this slush fund. Trump doesn’t have to pay taxes, but he’s more than happy to give your tax dollars to his cronies, criminals, and insurrectionists.
- CH
Trump’s $1.8 BILLION slush fund is a gross abuse of your tax dollars. As it stands, Members of Congress are also eligible for payouts from this corrupt scheme. I’m offering an amendment to ensure Members of Congress can’t cash in on this fund.

Some of the residents in Oscoda, MI, can't drink their water or swim in their lake due to PFAS. And they've been told to wait another five-years, after twenty years of waiting on the Air Force for proper cleanup. We owe it to them to step up. youtube.com/shorts/phCRC...

No matter what’s in their bill, Democrats will force Republicans to vote again and again on their ridiculous priorities: Trump’s billion-dollar ballroom, insurrectionist slush fund, and reckless war Every vote will show that Democrats are standing up for America, while the GOP sells out to Trump

Great to join FIGS and so many health care heroes this morning. I'm grateful for their support to help us reauthorize the Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act. I'll keep working to fully fund mental health programs for our dedicated health care workers.

Threats don’t respect international borders. The Trump Administration’s sweeping and self destructive foreign aid cuts have left the Democratic Republic of Congo and the U.S. struggling to contain an Ebola outbreak. An utterly predictable result from the chaos of DOGE.

As costs spike, the President is using your tax dollars to create a $1.8 billion slush fund for his political allies. Yet again, President Trump is making it clear: his priority is enriching himself and his political allies, not serving the American people. www.cnn.com/2026/05/20/p...

Your representatives should be working for you, and you deserve transparency and efficiency in how your tax dollars are spent. That’s why I don’t trade stocks and publish my official schedule for all to see. It’s time to start holding all members of Congress to that standard.

As I've said before, this Administration must immediately reinstate these sanctions and use every available tool to cut Russia's war profits.

Coloradans are now paying over 60% more for gas than before President Trump launched his reckless war with Iran. Trump has since repeatedly paused sanctions on Russian oil — which has not lowered prices for American families, but has bankrolled Putin's war in Ukraine.

See for yourself, this guy, who was nominated to be the top lawyer at the State Department, will do anything to dodge the truth. He won’t admit we have blockaded Iran because that would be an admission we are at war. Gaslighting the American people.

If you don't pay your taxes, you can get in trouble. But Donald Trump gets a special Get-Out-of-Jail-Free card. Nope - I have a bill to stop this corruption.

Republicans are helping Trump STEAL from the American people to fund his ballroom and his MAGA slush fund. Democrats will offer amendment after amendment to lower costs on everything from health care to groceries to gasoline. The contrast could not be clearer.

Trump wants $1 BILLION for a ballroom. That's enough money for nearly a billion pounds of food for Hawaii food banks. After forcing grocery costs to skyrocket and slashing SNAP, Republicans are doing nothing but stroke Trump's ego as Americans struggle to put food on the table.

Republicans slashed health care tax credits to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy – and now your deductible is climbing by as much as $1,000 as a result. What did they think would happen?

Enough with the money for slush funds, bombs, and tax breaks for billionaires. Republicans created a healthcare emergency by letting ACA subsidies expire, putting coverage at risk for millions of Americans. We need to get back to lowering costs for working families.

President Trump didn't need to raise the price of groceries with his tariffs. He didn't need to raise the price of gas by starting a war with Iran. He didn't need to raise the price of health care to give billionaires tax cuts. He's raising your costs by choice.

Americans don’t want to pay $5 for a gallon of gas. Americans don’t want to pay a billion dollars for a luxury ballroom. Americans don’t want to pay billions for a slush fund for January 6 rioter payouts. But that’s what this president is trying to force them to do.

Trump’s “weaponization fund” and ban on future IRS audits is his latest impeachable offense—using the machinery of government and billions in taxpayer dollars to reward allies, pay off insurrectionists, and shield himself, his family, and associates from accountability. Impeach now.
