President Trump promised Americans lower costs. Instead he’s making them foot the bill for a war no one asked for or approved.

Black voters across the South are being silenced. It’s just been two weeks since SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, and we’re already seeing the damage unfold in Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee.

When Trump meets with Xi, we can’t afford for him to sacrifice America’s national security in exchange for “solutions” to Trump's self-created crises. That’s why I led 16 bipartisan senators this month on a resolution as a reminder about the threat China poses to our security and prosperity.

And Republicans in Congress want to give it to him. If only they were that eager to help Americans afford their health care...

Trump’s economy is getting less and less affordable. Working families are in a cost-of-living emergency, and his illegal and unwanted war is driving up costs.

I'm thrilled my bill with Senator Blackburn to install baby changing stations across all Amtrak trains passed the Senate. I'll work with my colleagues in the House to carry this bill across the finish line so it's easier for young families to travel.

The Republican budget bill = …billions for ICE …a billion for Trump’s ballroom …nothing to lower your energy costs

I asked Secretary Hegseth what he expects working families to give up to pay for this $1.5 TRILLION war budget. Child care or health care?

Right now, I'm heading to our Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on fertilizer supply & affordability. Farmers in Minnesota & nationwide are being squeezed by rising input costs — like higher fuel costs — driven by the Administration’s tariffs & the ongoing conflict in Iran.

Last week, I was glad to tour the Little Steps Early Learning Academy, a free pre-K center in Las Vegas. Child care is unaffordable and inaccessible for too many families in Nevada, and we had a great discussion about how we can help make sure parents know what resources are available to them.

Republicans think funding President Trump’s ballroom is a better use of taxpayer dollars than Medicaid. I disagree.

The GOP won’t defend your health care. They won’t defend your wallet against spiking gas prices or rising energy costs. But $1 billion for Trump’s ballroom—they have no problem defending that. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...

Tanning beds and fruit-flavored vapes somehow fit into this regime's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda, but vaccines, Tylenol, and anti-depressants are the problem?

The Chinese Communist Party has a strategy. They steal tech, reverse engineer it, build it at scale, and then they heavily subsidize it so it undercuts the market. That's why when it comes to our U.S. auto industry, our auto workers, I'm not gonna go down without a fight.

China is outpacing American shipbuilding because we’ve let our maritime industry decay for too long. The SHIPS for America Act will rebuild American shipping and shipbuilding, create good-paying jobs, and strengthen our national security.

American leadership in medical research comes with the responsibility to never be satisfied while there are those suffering from sickness. I introduced the American Cures Act to provide steady funding for U.S. research agencies, allowing us to remain a leader in discovery & to give patients hope.

A ballroom he promised taxpayers wouldn't pay for. A wall he promised Mexico would. And now a no-bid contract for a favored pool contractor costing taxpayers millions more. Trump's art of the deal is, and always will be, a scam.

American families got another painful reminder this morning that the cost of living continues to be unaffordable. Inflation is up 3.8% and the pressure on household budgets is getting worse. (1/3)

Americans are already struggling to make ends meet, & now Trump's illegal war is driving up prices everywhere from the gas pump to the grocery store. Ending this war will protect our troops, lower costs, & rein in this lawless president.

Americans are paying over $4.50/gallon for gas because Trump refuses to end this war. If Republicans care at all about lowering costs and defending our troops, they will support Democrats’ War Powers Resolution to end this war with Iran.

This weekend I was honored to join hundreds of MN National Guard families whose loved ones are stationed overseas at a very special lunch sponsored by Serving Our Troops. Good to also see Rep. McCollum & Mayor Her. Thanks to Mancini’s & volunteers for serving steaks to our troops overseas as well.

The cost of this unnecessary war is falling on everyday Americans at the gas pump, the grocery store, and beyond. We need to put American families first — not this costly war.

And from the president who promised to bring prices down “on day one”… Another big jump in inflation and gas prices at $4.50.

Too often women’s health and wellbeing are an afterthought. During National Women’s Health Week, we must fight back against efforts to limit reproductive care so that women have access to the full scope of health care at every stage of life.

Roman Mongold survived 177 days trapped in Vovchansk’s kill zone, kept alive by weekly voice notes from his wife. We cannot look away from what Ukrainians are enduring, and we cannot abandon them in their fight for democracy.

For many Nevada families, high gas prices under Donald Trump’s leadership means they’re having to cancel vacations, skip going out to eat, and buy less. This will have a trickle down effect on our local economy. We need real solutions to bring down these prices at the gas pump.

“Uncertainty.” “Stress.” “Dread.” These are the words Americans used to describe the economy right now. All because of Donald Trump’s costly tariffs, disastrous war with Iran, and failed economic agenda.

This rollback is a blatant attack against the long-term health of our public lands. It is a slap in the face of participatory democracy! The West is drying up before us, and the Trump administration wants to undo these protections anyway. (1/2) www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/c...

I just secured $1 billion for two major infrastructure projects in New York and authored strict provisions that will force the Trump administration to release the funds. It's time to put an end to Trump's destructive delays and make sure our federal dollars are used to build a stronger New York.

Pres. Trump’s unauthorized, senseless war with Iran is sending your costs soaring. Gas, groceries, clothing, & housing costs all keep climbing because of Trump & GOP. And they have no plan to fix it. Republicans must work w/ Dems to lower prices & fix Trump’s failing economy.

Trump and Hegseth started a war with no clear goal or plan, and now they don’t want anyone even questioning their decisions. That’s what this is about.

Inflation is outpacing wages for the first time in three years, and Trump wants $1 billion of your money for his golden ballroom.

Instead of changing his policies, Donald Trump is trying to change the shape of the electorate. That's what wannabe dictators do when they feel their grip on power slipping.

One in five Americans lost their ACA health insurance because they couldn’t afford their premiums. Trump and MAGA Republicans killed the tax credits that made coverage more affordable. Now, American families are paying the price. We must restore the tax credits before more people become uninsured.

Each month Trump’s war drags on, the pain increases for American families. Republicans must vote with us this week to end the war and bring down these Trump-induced, skyrocketing costs.

Americans wanted prices to come down. Then, Trump started an unnecessary war with Iran that has killed U.S. servicemembers and is driving prices even higher. How much more pain is he willing to inflict on the American people? apnews.com/article/us-i...

Republicans don't want to talk about gas prices, just like how they don't want to talk about skyrocketing healthcare premiums or rising grocery bills. They're too scared to stand up to Trump, and the American people are paying the price.

12 days after gutting the Voting Rights Act, SCOTUS has turned back the clock in Alabama. Like Louisiana, this will dilute Black voting power and dismantle protections needed to fight discrimination. Another dark day for our democracy.

Trump’s ballroom is another example of this administration’s misplaced priorities. Americans see that — and they don’t support it.
