Plane tickets are 31% MORE expensive thanks to Trump's war in Iran. Yet another way he's draining your bank account and ruining your summer plans.

Donald Trump wants to raid the Treasury and use $1.8 BILLION of YOUR tax dollars in a slush fund for his buddies. It’s corruption on full display and I’m fighting to stop it.

No one should have to choose between the cost of lifesaving insulin and putting food on the table. We need to provide some help amid soaring health care costs, and by capping monthly insulin costs at $35, my INSULIN Act would do just that.

Violence and trauma touches all too many Americans. Today, I joined Alliance for HOPE to discuss federal initiatives that give survivors and their families the tools they need to heal and rebuild their lives.

Trump's Iran war has cost us $42 billion in gas and diesel and put servicemembers lives at risk. Where is the Golden Age for our families?

Kalshi and Polymarket have a history of using influencers as young as 15 to market their platforms to teenagers. They’ve let insiders make huge profits on bets. We grilled them in a Senate hearing today. We see this for what it is.

Instead of working to ensure that no one is above the law, Todd Blanche has been busy giving President Trump a get-out-of-jail-free card and sending taxpayer dollars to his political allies. I'm calling on him to immediately resign as the Acting Attorney General.

Same old story: big bucks to Trump’s fossil fuel donors, but huge costs “which will most likely wind up on household electricity bills.” They’re making you pay their pay-off to big donors, raising your costs. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/14/c...

The USPSTF is critical to ensuring quality health coverage for communities everywhere. As health care costs continue to skyrocket, the last thing we need is RFK Jr. and the Trump administration holding our preventative care services hostage.

Donald Trump is letting AI deny care for seniors on Medicare. If there's a way to make your life worse and more expensive than it is today, he'll do it. I'm leading the charge to make sure this plan dies the death it deserves.

The War Powers Resolution Democrats have been pushing to rein in Trump’s illegal war with Iran passed a HUGE procedural hurdle in the Senate yesterday. This isn’t final passage, but it’s a big step. We’ll keep fighting.

Who else signed the crooked Trump Family Tax Amnesty? Only Trump’s stooge Blanche? Representing who? Who represented Trumps in the amnesty scam? Inquiring minds want to know.

Not a single one of Trump’s ridiculous grift projects is lowering fuel prices, cutting grocery bills, or helping families keep up with rising costs. Americans are struggling to afford the basics while Trump focuses on enriching himself and his inner circle.

Donald Trump said out loud that he would rather dump a billion dollars a day on a war with Iran than pay for child care here at home. So much for America first.

I welcome the change in Guatemala’s attorney general, and I hope that under new leadership, the Guatemalan government will finally drops any remaining charges against anti-corruption journalist José Rubén Zamora and anti-corruption prosecutor Virginia Laparra.

Have you or a loved one been affected by Trump's policies? Paying more for gas because of his war against Iran? Well, under this President, you're entitled to exactly nothing. UNLESS you stormed the Capitol, then you may get a payout from his NEW $1.8 BILLION MAGA slush fund.

Millions of Americans are being priced out of their health care because Washington Republicans refused to extend the ACA's enhanced premium tax credits. Americans deserve to see a doctor without breaking the bank, and I'll keep fighting to make it accessible and affordable.

I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change is real.

Gas is still above $4.50. Housing and child care prices are just getting worse. And Trump & Republicans’ top priorities this week are a golden ballroom and a slush fund for Jan. 6 rioters.
- RW
The President just used his power to exempt himself from pending tax audits. He set up a billion dollar slush fund to pay his friends. He is directly profiting off of public office to a staggering degree.

Senate Democrats are trying to stop Trump from using $1.8 billion of your tax dollars to give handouts to his allies, but Republicans voted to let it happen.

The 30-year Treasury yield just hit its highest level since 2007 — right before the financial crisis. That means more expensive mortgages. Costlier car loans. Higher credit card interest rates. Trump promised to lower costs. His reckless agenda is doing the opposite.

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.

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.
