We have a historic bill in front of us right now to do just that. It's time to get the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act across the finish line. 2/2

The average age of a first time homebuyer is 40 years old. That's absolutely unacceptable. Today, I met with NJ Realtors to discuss housing affordability in New Jersey, and the work I've been doing to build more housing and bring costs down. 1/2

$100B spent. 14 servicemembers lost. Military stockpiles drained. Costs soaring. Trump’s “deal” with Iran puts the U.S. in a worse position than we were before his illegal war began.

Hurricane season is here. We can't wait for a future president to make sure our communities are prepared. This is what I stressed to the Cameron Hamilton, current nominee for FEMA Administrator, as Americans rely on FEMA to get the help they need when disaster strikes.

Reliable broadband is essential for families, farmers, students, and small businesses. Building on my legislation to bring federal broadband funding to MN, my Last Mile Initiative will connect the 120,000 households that still lack access and finally bring broadband to every corner of our state.

Wildfire season is a dangerous time when first responders and families are on high alert. I will do everything I can in the Other Washington to make sure Spokane and communities across the state have the resources they need to respond and rebuild.

Trump’s dangerous $1.2 trillion “Golden Dome” boondoggle will not protect Americans. It’s just a giveaway to defense contractor buddies like Elon Musk. We’re demanding answers from Hegseth on Trump’s trillion-dollar scam.

Arizonans are working hard, paying their taxes, and playing by the rules. Trump is using the presidency to line his own pockets and pay off his friends. That's not what this office is for. We can’t pretend otherwise, and I'm not going to look the other way.

When it comes to President Trump's war in Iran, we need to be clear about what we put into it and what we get out of it. The deal on the table is not even comparable to the Obama deal. It's worse by a lot. By about $300 billion and a bunch of vague language.

Once again, Donald Trump chooses chaos over national security. Installing an unqualified loyalist like Bill Pulte will not make us safer. Nor will insisting that Congress add an unrelated voter suppression bill to a FISA extension. It will only ensure the latter will fail. No reforms for FISA.

Messing with special education and children with disabilities? C’mon. President Trump is trying to shut down the Department of Education – and he doesn’t care what it means for our children or families. It makes no sense.

ICE is already larger than the Marines. And Republicans in Washington are trying to give them even MORE money. What if we funded health care instead?

Pride Month is about celebrating our LGBTQ+ family, friends, neighbors, and community. Honoring those who paved the way, uplifting the next generation, and standing tall beside anyone facing hate and division. I’m proud to continue to celebrate Pride this month and every month!

President Trump started a reckless war in Iran that cost billions, drove up prices, and left American service members dead and wounded. Ending it is necessary, but what we’re left with looks by all accounts to be a bad deal. That's why Congress and the American people need to see the text now.

We had an Iran nuclear deal. Trump tore it up. Now, his “deal” includes a $300 billion payoff for Iran and no new limits on its nuclear program. This is a joke. Congress must review and reject this deal immediately.

This administration keeps the chaos swirling as they fight with their own party about who should have what job. Putting egos and personal payoffs over our national security makes us all less safe.

President Trump is doing exactly what he said he'd do: taking a wrecking ball to the Department of Education. By offloading special education and civil rights offices' onto agencies that have no business or experience running a classroom, it's Colorado's most vulnerable kids who will pay the price.

Republicans are hoping the American people don't know the difference between showing a photo ID and proving their citizenship. But if the SAVE Trump Act passes, that difference could mean MILLIONS of eligible voters are disenfranchised from voting in our upcoming elections.

$12 million. That's how much taxpayer money the Trump Administration spent to rehire the same federal workers they'd previously fired. Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse – this Administration commits all three on a daily basis.

Next is further response from the retired judges who raised the “fraud on the court” issue, then comes her next ruling. Stand by and watch this space.
- SW
Obviously, they want to avoid discussing their sleazy Trump deal under oath, particularly in front of a judge who can sanction and discipline them. But it’s a rough look to hide behind Trump’s private lawyers rather than respond, and there’s every reason to believe the judge will notice.
- SW
Remember: I know of no time in history when senior DOJ officials were accused of “fraud on the court.” Unthinkable. And they don’t even answer, but hide like rats? Not a good sign for the MAGA DOJ or for its sleazy top officials.
- SW
Here’s what’s interesting. The judge in her order invited a response into (a) whether DOJ policies were violated; (b) whether the parties colluded and deceived the court; and (c) the client (IRS’s) defense memo. DOJ’s silence is really deafening here, in the wake of that.

My mom and dad bought my childhood home in Plymouth with a GI loan. That's what a fair shot looked like then. Today it means cutting red tape to allow the private sector to build more affordable homes of all kinds, and lowering the cost of housing for Minnesotans.

Trump has now spent $2.6 billion in tax-payer money to kill offshore wind projects. These projects represented thousands of good union jobs, billions in economic development, and millions of homes worth of desperately needed electricity.

Three days later and there’s still massive confusion about Trump's "understanding" with Iran. This is foreign policy by clown car. Trump must brief Congress, release the official text of the “understanding”, disclose any secret side deals to the public immediately, and end this war now.

Trump's tantrum is a threat to our national security. Pulte is a partisan goon who is so deeply unqualified to be Acting Director of National Intelligence. Keeping him in this position until Trump gets his way is dangerous and unacceptable.

The decision to go to war was never the President's to make. Senate Democrats have insisted that Congress play its constitutional role and stop these illegal and deeply harmful wars. Senate Republicans have now voted EIGHT times to shirk their duty and greenlight Trump's illegal war of choice.
