Trump Admin officials should not profit off war & death. But as prediction market betting spreads, the CFTC is letting insiders anonymously profit from wagers placed before public news of U.S. military actions, creating a dangerous breeding ground for corruption & nat’l sec risks.

Donald Trump is preparing to hold our government hostage unless we help him undermine our right to vote, our elections, our democracy. This is what he does. He's a thug and a bully. Democrats will not support passage of the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

So Trump wants to keep the option of drafting other people's kids into war on the table. All for a war of choice as he spends billions on bombs and cuts funding for health care here at home. This could NOT be more wrong—Congress should END the war in Iran & FUND health care.

Reverend Jesse Jackson committed his life to the fight for civil rights. I counted him as an ally on many issues of social justice. His legacy is alive and growing—and I’m glad to lead the charge to honor his achievements.

As if food prices weren’t hitting your pocketbook hard enough, now gas prices are another sucker punch. This is Trump’s doing. Higher costs and more war is not what he promised.

Nevada families are already being squeezed by the rising cost of groceries, rent, and health care – and now they’re paying over $4 a gallon at the gas pump. Trump’s response to skyrocketing prices? “If they rise, they rise.” You foot the bill and he doesn’t care at all.

Donald Trump's war has sent gas prices skyrocketing through the roof. “If they rise, they rise,” is all he has to say. Tough luck, America. What contempt. What cluelessness.

In 2023 I chaired an antitrust hearing on Live Nation/Ticketmaster after the Taylor Swift concert debacle. It was clear then that this three-headed monopoly (ticketing, venues, promotion) must be broken up. DOJ undermined the case and hurt fans. Ticket prices won’t go down.

Susan and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Sgt. Benjamin Pennington, who passed away Sunday after being wounded during an attack in Saudi Arabia. We’re forever grateful for his service and sacrifice. My thoughts are with his loved ones and his fellow soldiers at Fort Carson.

When Trump said this strike was "done by Iran," he was lying, just as he lied about keeping America out of wars. He & Sec. Hegseth are responsible for the killing of these 175 people, most of them children. They must be held accountable. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/08/w...

Nothing is more indicative of the spiritual crisis we face than the fact that this President is willing to spend money on bullets and bombs while cutting health care and food.

Because of Trump’s cuts to health care, rural hospitals across the country are at risk of closing. Republicans in Congress voted for this. Trump signed it into law. And we’re going to hold them accountable for it in November.

Trump is calling higher oil prices “a very small price to pay” adding that “only fools would think differently.” The reality is that Americans don’t want another war and they don’t want higher prices at the pump. Trump is out of touch.

Donald Trump is throwing gasoline on the flames of war in Iran, while at home, Americans are paying higher prices for gasoline at the pump. Take a walk with me to see how prices are skyrocketing as a result of this illegal war.

There is a growing sickness in the Republican Party that spawns this virulent hatred. Replace 'Muslims' with any other faith & this man would be run out of Congress. Their tolerance for this bigotry is a cancer in their ranks. Hate, in all its forms, should find no refuge here.

Because of President Trump’s policies, we're seeing prices soar for everyday items, while job opportunities continue to disappear. Trump’s tariffs and unnecessary war in Iran will only make things worse.

High gas prices aren’t just painful at the pump – literally anything that is shipped (that is to say, almost everything) is affected by fuel prices.

Trump’s words speak for themselves. He thinks the surge in gas prices is a “very small price to pay.” That might be true for him and the Epstein class, but not for regular working people.

Scores of children were killed at school. A deeply horrific killing because of a war of choice. Secretary Hegseth cannot sweep this under the rug. There needs to be a full and impartial investigation—we need answers and then accountability.

It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.

This settlement falls short of what fans deserve. Breaking up Live Nation-Ticketmaster is the only way to loosen its grip on venues, artists, and fans. I'm introducing a bill to stop corrupt antitrust settlements and I'm glad states plan to continue the case to protect consumers.

Americans can't catch a break. President Trump took away their health care. He took away their food assistance. And now his reckless war with Iran is driving up the cost of gas. Working families can't afford Trump's agenda.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is causing the largest oil shock in history. Gas prices are spiking, and Americans will be feeling the pain at the pump. Meanwhile, Trump is not ruling out sending ground troops into Iran. Americans do not want an expensive and endless war abroad.
