People should be able to trust that elected officials are working in the public interest, not trying to line their own pockets. That's why I wrote a bill to ban elected officials from using prediction markets--and why I've fought for years to ban Congressional stock trading.

I'm going to let you in on a little secret: the Trump Administration is using classified briefings as an excuse to hide the truth from you. They don't have a plan for this war. They don't have a plan to lower your costs. They just don't want to admit it publicly.

Why are we at war? Republicans won't even use the word 'war', let alone explain why it is worth risking the lives of our service members. I'm working to put members of the administration under oath so we can get answers.

For months, we warned DOGE's access to Americans' private data was ripe for abuse. And here it is: A former DOGE employee stole the Social Security numbers & personal info of over 500 MILLION Americans. Musk, Trump, & their DOGE lackies must be made to answer for this, NOW.

We shouldn't put American troops on the ground in Iran. I've seen no real plan to keep them safe. I've worked in Iraq and Afghanistan and I know how dangerous this would be.

The vast majority of Americans don’t want a war with Iran. Pres. Trump started one anyways. @schumer.senate.gov, @shaheen.senate.gov & I are demanding Trump Admin officials testify under oath to explain to the public why Pres. Trump started this reckless war with Iran & the strategy going forward.

They're hiding their incompetence behind the valor of our men and women in uniform. As if to question why we're at war is to question our heroes. No, it's to make sure the mission is worth their sacrifices. Our troops will always do their job. Republicans need to do theirs.

Donald Trump's war is driving up gas prices. But now he's using this chaos to lay the groundwork to restart offshore oil drilling in California at the sites of previous spills. Californians do not want more drilling off of our coasts. Renewable energy is the best way forward.

We need honest answers about the horrific incident that killed over 175 people – mostly school children – in Iran. President Trump has been reckless in his claims about the strike, and I’m demanding a full & impartial investigation.

Working families are already paying the price for President Trump's war with Iran. He needs to reverse course and focus on pulling Americans out of our affordability crisis, rather than throwing billions of dollars towards an unnecessary war.

Nobody in this Administration can agree on why they started this war or when it will end. The Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, and the President are all saying different things. Servicemembers’ lives are on the line, and they deserve better than this.

In just 2 days, Trump burned $6 BILLION on his war with Iran. He's spent billions more in the days since. We could have DOUBLED our annual budget to help families afford child care. Or built more housing. Instead, Trump's spent YOUR tax dollars on a war no one asked for.

Thousands of servicemembers killed. Thousands more injured. Hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians killed. Trillions spent. That’s what 25+ years of war in the Middle East got us. My colleagues and I are doing all we can to stop the US from repeating these mistakes. youtube.com/shorts/Jnu8d...

Our brave servicemembers will always answer the call and they have my unwavering gratitude and support. War is not a game, and right now, Trump is risking American lives on a war of choice with no clear objective or endgame. The men & women who serve deserve better.

Americans are paying for this war at the pump. Americans are paying for this war with their lives. Now Trump and Republicans are asking Americans to foot the bill for more of this war with their tax dollars. No. No more funding for this reckless war.

When gas prices go up, those costs get distributed to all the suppliers, truckers, flights, and more throughout our economy. You’re not just paying more at the pump… soon, these skyrocketing gas prices will make everything you buy more expensive.

Everything is more expensive under Trump: ➡️ He drove up grocery prices with the Trump Tariff Tax. ➡️ He drove up health care premiums when he refused to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits. ➡️ Now, he's driving up gas prices with his reckless attack on Iran.

As many as 140 servicemembers injured. 7 killed. Thousands of Americans stranded in the region with a target on their backs and no escape. All for a war that a draft dodger cannot even articulate a coherent and consistent justification for. How. Is. This. America. First.

The conflict in Iran is incredibly expensive and totally optional – but we can’t look away from Trump’s domestic failures either. We need to release all the Epstein Files. We need to get health care for all Americans.

I am praying for the brave men and women in uniform who have been wounded in the Iran War. May we find a path toward peace before more lives are lost in the Middle East.

Gas prices are soaring at home, but instead of ending his illegal and reckless war abroad, Trump is easing sanctions on Russia to sell more oil. Trump’s war is now benefitting his buddy Putin, who is helping Iran. And more money for Putin will hurt Ukraine. What a disaster.

There are about a zillion problems with our health care system (and pretty much everyone across the political spectrum agrees on that!) "Too many people have health insurance" is not one of said problems.

Trump’s war with Iran is already driving up costs for American families at the gas pump.

This was my second visit to the ICE facility in Baltimore. Each time, it made the hair stand up on my arms. The conditions are inhumane, and the treatment of people is unacceptable. Instead of lowering gas prices, this Administration chooses to spend its time on this CRUELTY.

While Americans are increasingly dipping into their retirements to make ends meet, Trump raises costs and starts new wars overseas. He claims we're in a "Golden Age," but the only thing golden is the paint he's using on the White House.

We know weapons from the Indo-Pacific have been moved to the Middle East and that China is part of an Axis with Iran. China is our biggest competitor and threat. When we take actions like in Iran that give China an opening, it is to the detriment of the U.S.

Trump’s illegal war with Iran is hitting Americans hard—at the pump, at the grocery store, and on their utility bills. Americans deserve to know what the cost of Trump’s reckless actions will be for themselves and their families as he continues this war. I'm calling for answers.
