Today marks 6 months since Trump & Netanyahu launched their illegal war of choice in Iran. We've lost 18 US service members, hundreds have been injured, and thousands of civilians have been killed. Meanwhile, prices here at home have skyrocketed. This war needs to end, NOW.

Our bipartisan Fix Our Forests Act addresses our wildfire crisis head on. Communities should be more resilient and better prepared to battle wildfires of the future. There’s no time to waste. Let’s get it passed.

I'm leading my colleagues to demand the Trump administration put an end to the bureaucratic roadblocks holding up wind and solar permits across the West.

Today we honored the life of Lance Corporal Armando Ortiz Canseco of Richfield. He served our country with honor and dedication. That will never be forgotten. I am holding his family and all who knew and loved him in my thoughts.

No better way to spend National Hero Day than with our nation's true heroes — our veterans. Glad to spend the afternoon at Oahu Veterans Council, speaking with veterans about how we can continue to best support them, and I plan to do that.

Mifepristone is SAFE and EFFECTIVE. Republicans' studies and reviews are not based on science. They are political tactics to help reach their end goal: to ban abortion nationwide, including medication abortion. We all need to speak out to PROTECT access to mifepristone.

71 years ago, an act of racism, hate, and violence took Emmett Till’s bright young life. Today, I’m remembering him and his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley. May God continue to bless their memory. We must continue our fight to end racism and hate in every form.

A billion-dollar company is not a small business. Nearly a third of corporations Trump would redefine as a “small business” already held $71 billion in federal contracts last year. I’m fighting to stop this corporate giveaway and ensure small businesses aren’t decimated by this Administration.

6 months in, Trump’s disastrous war in Iran has accomplished nothing but the depletion of American stockpiles and the weakening of our military standing. That’s what I call an abject failure.

Proof we got RFK lying on the record during his confirmation hearing (a crime). RFK should be referred to the DOJ for criminal investigation, and when Democrats retake the Senate, he will be at the top of the list of Trump officials I will hold accountable for endangering American families.

Today marks six months of the Iran War. Six months with no strategy and no end in sight. Six months of higher costs across the board. Six months of our servicemembers being away from their families. Six months and 18 service members killed. We must end this war and bring our troops home.

Today marks 6 months of Trump's Iran War. 18 American servicemembers have died. More than 750 wounded. Costs are up from the grocery store to the pump. Farmers and small businesses can't plan for the future. 181 days to be worse off than we were before. It's long past time to end the war.

In February, President Trump promised a swift conflict with Iran. Six months later, we are still at war, the Strait of Hormuz is still held hostage by Iran, American troops have been killed and wounded, and prices are soaring at home. The President owes us a coherent exit plan out of this mess.
- CS
While the Trump administration spews blatant lies about their failure in Iran, the reality is that 6 months in, the Iranians are holding the Strait hostage, gas is up to record highs, and 18 servicemembers have died – all while Trump still has no strategy to end the disaster of a war he started.

Trump is telling us he has no plans of giving up power, that's why we're working hard behind the scenes to make sure he honors your vote— no matter the results.

Trump promised his war with Iran would be over in days. Six months later: troops killed and injured, billions spent, gas and grocery prices climbing. Congress has declared this war illegal — and I'm working to cut off its funding.

It’s been 6 months since Trump initiated a war with Iran that has put American servicemembers at risk, caused gas prices to skyrocket and created global instability.

Members of Congress shouldn’t be buying and trading stocks. It stinks of corruption, and I’ve led the fight to ban Congressional trading for years. If we want to restore public trust in Congress, that’s a great place to start.

H&R Block’s CEO admitted Trump’s tax law helped turn a record number of free customers into paying customers. Why is Donald Trump helping tax prep companies get richer instead of making it easier for Americans to file their taxes?

It's pretty simple. Your electricity bills will go up as the Trump administration takes away electricity supply in order to give a payday to one of Trump's cronies. Once again, the American people lose, Trump's buddies win. Sums up this administration's policy.

A federal judge just blocked Trump from implementing his dangerous executive order designed to disrupt voting by mail and throw this year’s election into chaos. We will continue to fight this in court for as long as it takes to ensure that every American can vote freely and fairly.

When it comes to the cost of war, previous administrations provided hundreds of pages of detailed accounting. This administration submitted seven pages to account for $67 billion. They’re not showing their math. They’re not explaining the cost of this war.

Donald Trump is a failed president trying to hide from accountability. That’s what this is about. Americans are tired of him and his Republican yes-men in Congress. They want change. November is our chance to make sure they get the message loud and clear.

We do not need to be giving an already cruel, out-of-control agency electric shock gloves that come with a price tag of $20 million taxpayer dollars. That's why I'm demanding the Trump administration abandon this reckless plan. It's a waste of money and we deserve better.

It’s important to meet our leaders where they are, and listen, so I know how to fight for them in Washington – whether that’s mental health programs for law enforcement or housing and infrastructure funds. I was glad to do just that in Bay City this week.
