We know exactly how we got here: Republicans passed the single largest cut to health care in history and blocked every Democratic effort to extend the ACA tax credits. Trump and Republicans would rather give tax breaks to billionaires than help families afford health care.

Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran. His “October surprise” must not be a mushroom cloud from a nuclear attack. With these threats and assistance to Saudi Arabia, Trump is inferring mass slaughter and escalating an arms race in the Middle East. We must stop this madman.

Trump's ICE is disappearing thousands of people in their system, hiding their locations from loved ones & lawyers, & preventing them from exercising their constitutional rights. This is the lawlessness Republicans keep writing blank checks for. Not another dime! apnews.com/article/ice-...

Republicans’ war in Iran has been a double whammy for our farmers. Not only is it more expensive for them to run their machinery and grow crops, but getting those crops to market is costing more too. They need relief from this chaos. www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

NEW: Donald Trump made 1,156 personal financial trades in July. It should be illegal for the president to trade individual stocks - period.

Diesel keeps Maryland’s businesses running. A year ago, it was $3.70 a gallon. Today, it’s a record $6.49. Farmers and small businesses feel that increase first, and then it ripples through our entire economy. This Admin's war with Iran continues to hurt everyday Americans.

Washington Republicans’ OBBB changed the gambling tax deduction and will force players to pay taxes on money they’ve LOST. We must reverse this unfair tax that is hurting Nevada's economy, and we’re one step closer to getting it done now that our bill has passed out of committee in the House.

Chairman Caine made it clear that he would not deploy uniformed military to seize ballots or other election material. Now, FBI Director Patel has said to @padilla.senate.gov that the FBI will not take such actions either.

While regular families count every dollar at the grocery store, billionaires are paying lower tax rates than the people ringing them up. Politicians made that choice. They work for the wealthy instead of you. I want to change who Washington works for.

This Gold Star Families Week, we honor the families who carry the weight of the ultimate sacrifice. Their loved ones gave everything for our freedom — and we can never repay that debt. I will keep fighting for the support, recognition, and dignity these families deserve.

After six American soldiers died in an Iranian attack earlier this year, Democrats pressed Pete Hegseth for answers — but he's stonewalling. Rep. Pat Ryan and I are pushing for a public hearing. Our service members and their families deserve better.

Almost a year after Congress near-unanimously mandated their release, Blanche & Trump have not released all the Epstein Files AND have unjustifiably redacted info. Judges are right to threaten contempt. This cover up is illegal. The survivors & the American people deserve answers.

As election day gets closer, Trump is trying to hide his failures from the press. The networks are refusing to go along with it. The president is scared because he knows the American people are going to hold him accountable for his skyrocketing costs and forever war.

Trump says the only guardrail that AI needs is him as President. That’s a bold pitch from the guy whose wallets get fatter even as gas, grocery and electricity costs soar from his illegal war. If his leadership isn’t working for the American people, why would it work for AI?

As health care costs skyrocket and millions of Americans go uninsured, what is JD Vance and Donald Trump’s solution? Kick hundreds of thousands more people off their health insurance. Senate Democrats will expand coverage and lower costs for millions of Americans when we take back the majority.

Every day for the past 15 days, diesel prices in Virginia have reached a new record high. That’s devastating for farmers across the Commonwealth. And the costs get passed along to you on everything you buy.

I just came from President Trump's speech at the UN. The takeaway is clear: Americans are paying too much for gasoline, diesel, groceries and so much more because of his war in Iran. They want to see it end, and end now.

I'm glad that the UNCF, the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, and HBCUs nationwide are behind the Protect College Sports Act. They agree that our bill is the best way to provide stability and funding so that HBCU athletic programs and the students who play there don't just survive–they thrive.

Trump is attacking the free press because they're reporting the truth he doesn't want you to know: he's failing the American people.

The American people are footing the bill for the President's reckless war with Iran. We know this war is costing us about $1 billion a week, and that estimate doesn't even include damaged assets or the sky-high diesel and gas prices that Americans are being forced to pay as a result.

This weekend thousands of American patriots stood up to Trump's attacks on the Kennedy Center with a simple message: HANDS OFF. This & every monument in America belong to the people, not to any President. We must continue to speak out; silence only emboldens Trump's lawbreaking.

Since when did stroking the president’s ego with yet another construction project become critical to our safety? This isn’t national security. This is another poor excuse for a Trump vanity project.

The President should not invite Chinese automakers to set up shop in the United States. This is quite literally an attempt by Chinese companies to get their foot in the door of the American market. This is a national security and an economic security issue. We should not give an inch.

Women are half the population, and yet the majority of physicians have NO training on how to treat women with menopause. I talked to Dr. Rachel Rubin and Dr. Kelly Casperson about how women are demanding better, and why Congress should PASS my bill to invest in menopause research & training.

The costs of Trump’s reckless war in Iran climb by billions each month, even as this Admin refuses to acknowledge the munitions crisis & damages that threaten our nat’l security. Congress cannot do its job when Sec. Hegseth’s Pentagon won’t tell the truth.

President Trump is fighting AI regulation while his own financial interests are increasingly tied to the industry. Trump is more focused on profiting off the presidency than he is on making sure we have basic guardrails to protect Americans from AI’s risks.

Trump is working overtime to rig the midterms & preserve his power — & with it, the power of billionaires over the American people. Free & fair elections are vital to our democracy & are our only way to end a broken status quo. We can't let him get away with his schemes.
