Under Sec. Hegseth’s failed leadership, DOD has obfuscated the numbers of wounded servicemembers in Iran and reclassified American deaths under a new operation name to avoid contradicting Pres. Trump. This is not only wrong – it is profoundly disrespectful to our troops and their families.

No one should have to worry about whether they can afford the care they need. But Trump’s health care cuts are putting coverage at risk for people in Minnesota and across the country — and driving up costs.

When I first met Ariadna, she was still inside Delaney Hall. She translated for the other women inside, helping me learn their stories. Now that she’s out, she’s still shining a light on their experiences.

Trump said his war with Iran would last 6 weeks. More than 6 months later, the war is still waging, and Americans have paid an extra $100 billion for gas and diesel and at least another $60 billion for essentials like groceries and mortgages.

Trump is doing deals with one of Putin’s closest allies just days after signing the Republican Russia sanctions bill into law, which created fake sanctions while simultaneously allowing Trump to do more unilateral tariffs and cut ties with our biggest trading partners.

If European countries & other signatories to the International Criminal Court have any self-respect, they'd sanction Rubio & Trump for obstructing investigations of Netanyahu's war crimes.

Stars and Stripes has told the story of our nation’s military for decades, and its independence is critical. Sec. Hegseth's shameful attacks on the publication’s integrity must end, and I’ve introduced legislation to ensure that is the case. www.stripes.com/theaters/asi...

Trump promised lower costs. Instead, diesel just hit an all-time high because of his war with Iran, and families are paying hundreds more this year on groceries and everything else. Arizonans shouldn't have to foot the bill for his reckless decisions.

The National Institutes of Health is America’s preeminent medical research agency—one that gives hope to countless families. The Trump Administration’s attempt to inject politics into its grant disbursements will jeopardize new discoveries, cures, and treatments.

Farmers were already getting crushed by the Trump-Vance Administration’s tariffs. Now they can’t afford diesel for their tractors or fertilizer for their fields because of the war. Instead of helping them, President Trump is fixating on plans for a ridiculous 250ft arch! www.npr.org/2026/09/21/n...

The Trump Admin has hidden the true costs of the President’s reckless Iran war since day one. Americans deserve to know why their loved ones are risking their lives overseas. Taxpayers deserve to know what this war costs.

President Trump’s decision to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW reporters from the White House is a blatant assault on the First Amendment and a desperate attempt to distract from his Administration’s litany of failures. This ban must be struck down as soon as possible.

Trump & Vought are politicizing critical medical research and make no mistake: in the long run, this will cost lives. Their continued attacks will put future cures and treatments at risk in service of their own political agenda. Shameful.

For nearly a year, Trump pitched his proposed arch as a tourist attraction. Now, he says it will double as a military complex. This is an obvious attempt by the president to tie another one of his personal vanity projects to national security, in hopes of getting it built amid growing opposition.

CMU is proof that education built for today’s economy opens pathways to good-paying jobs across Colorado. Great to learn more about the CMU Tech apprenticeship program and how it’s preparing students with the skills they need to build careers and earn a living wage.

The President broke his promises not to start forever wars. Instead of addressing the cost of living, he's more concerned about building an arch in DC or putting his name on the Kennedy Center, all while Americans struggle to make ends meet.

Turns out the comms tech that the aviation sector relies on was never designed with security in mind. This is a massive national security threat at a time when Trump has already made flying more dangerous than ever. The FAA needs to implement new standards as soon as possible to protect passengers.

After almost seven months, President Trump’s war with Iran has now cost Americans $43.6 billion. While you pay more every day for your housing, groceries, and gas, President Trump is spending billions on a war he has no idea how to end.
