Gas prices are increasing. Health care premiums have skyrocketed. Electricity bills are up. Groceries are more expensive. And instead of focusing on how to bring down costs, Trump is flippantly suggesting that he might use your taxpayer dollars and risk servicemember lives to TAKE OVER CUBA.

Trump has NO strategy for the war with Iran. But you don’t need to believe me – listen to him talk about it! Our women & men in uniform deserve better.

Trump promised to lower prices—but the reality is that he and his billionaire cronies do not care that Trump's reckless war with Iran is raising costs for families across the country—and they're literally saying so!

A top national security official resigns and confirms that Iran posed no imminent threat. Good riddance to Joe Kent, a disgraceful white supremacist, but that's a major public admission that there was NO justification for this war.

Trump is spending BILLIONS of your taxpayer dollars on a war with Iran that has no clear directive and no endgame.

If you are a: - married woman that changed your last name, - student that moved away to college, - senior & lifelong voter with mobility issues, Republicans' SAVE Act will make it HARDER and more EXPENSIVE for you to vote. Democrats will be fighting to keep our elections fair and FREE.

REMINDER: Democrats tried SIX TIMES to fund the parts of DHS that Congress agrees on—like paying TSA workers, FEMA, and cyber defense. Republicans blocked us every single time.
- PM
You do not go to war by having a press conference. It's on the President to show Congress and the American people that there is a real justification and endgame. Trump's done none of that. This war should end TODAY.

I am heartbroken to learn about the passing of Capt. Ariana G. Savino from Washington state. I am deeply grateful for her courage and sacrifice in service to our country. Remarkable women like Capt. Savino represent the absolute best of our state and country.

From raising the minimum wage to making it easier to unionize, I rank the pro-worker policies I’m fighting to pass with Miranda—an @seiu775.org member from Moses Lake. Watch ⬇️

Sneakers have gotten me pretty far... fighting for child care, helping pass the Affordable Care Act, forcing Trump to sign a bill that completely rejected his budget request... We need more moms in tennis shoes in government—and less crooks in dress shoes. 👟👟

Americans shouldn't have to choose between putting food on the table and refilling a prescription. But instead of making health care more affordable, Trump is blowing billions on his war with Iran.

How long do Republicans want Americans to pay more and sacrifice for Trump's war of choice? How much do they think is an acceptable cost? Lower costs and no new wars. The President should end this war immediately.

Trump & Republicans made the largest cuts to health care in American history so that they could dole out tax breaks to billionaires and blow billions on another war in the Middle East. For Republicans, there's always money for war and the super-rich—but never money for you.

Democrats tried to fund: ➡️TSA ➡️Cyber defense ➡️Coast Guard ➡️FEMA ➡️Everything at DHS but ICE & Border Patrol Republicans blocked every single bill. Why? They want to give ICE & CBP more money without basic reforms. Not on my watch.

In 24 hours, Republicans have blocked FIVE attempts from Democrats to fund TSA, FEMA, our cyber defenses, & Coast Guard while talks continue to rein in ICE & Border Patrol. Republicans are holding TSA agents' paychecks hostage so they can give more $ to ICE, with no reforms.

My new bill to ensure basic wage and overtime protections for home care workers is just the start. I'll keep fighting to pass major pro-worker policies like: ✅raising the minimum wage ✅national paid leave ✅affordable child care ✅the PRO Act.

Instead of building on the most basic wage rights for home care workers, Trump wants to tear them down. I'm fighting back with a new bill to make sure the people who do the important work of home and domestic care get AT LEAST the same basic protections as other workers.
- PM
LIVE NOW: Home care workers make a world of difference for nearly 10 million Americans. I'm with @kim.senate.gov to introduce a bill that guarantees crucial minimum wage and overtime protections for home care workers and domestic workers. No loopholes. No exceptions.

Trump and Secretary Hegseth cannot blame anyone else for the bombing of an Iranian elementary school. They need to take responsibility and make sure it never happens again. This is a horrific tragedy and a deep moral stain on our history. There must be accountability.

Elon and his goons at DOGE broke our government from the inside out and rifled through sensitive data they had no business being near. And now, there are serious allegations that ex-employees stole it to use for their own purposes. Congress should throw the book at these crooks.

DHS agents killed American citizens in cold blood. They are terrorizing communities. Detaining and deporting CITIZENS. Democrats are just asking for basic accountability and reforms. And what is the Republican response? "Cry about it."

Republicans are trying to BAN medication abortion in all 50 states. They want to force women to give birth no matter the circumstances. Let me be clear: I'll be fighting to kill this bill. American women deserve full reproductive freedom and nothing less.

Stephen Miller is not above the Constitution. Trump is not a king who can sic an army of masked thugs on whatever city he wants to punish next. The American people are demanding reforms for ICE & CBP agents NOW.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked my bill to fund TSA and FEMA... AGAIN. This isn't complicated: if Republicans won't agree to rein in ICE & CBP, they should AT MINIMUM work with us to fund TSA. But they won't.
- PM
Republicans are CHOOSING to force TSA to work without pay—but it can end TODAY. I will try again to pass my bill to fund TSA and FEMA without cutting a blank check to ICE and Border Patrol. Republicans are the only thing standing in the way.

Trump may have no "yips" about boots on the ground, but I think committing American soldiers to a ground war is a serious escalation. NO boots on the ground. NO war with Iran.

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.
- PM
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.

ICYMI: Republicans BLOCKED my bill to fund TSA. Republicans are punishing travelers and forcing TSA agents to work without pay because they want to cut another blank check for ICE & Border Patrol. It's shameful.

Numbers don't lie. Homeownership is out of reach for a lot of families. Congress could be investing in programs to help make housing more affordable—but instead, Trump is spending billions on a war with no clear endgame.

This flippant response is absolutely unacceptable from the Commander in Chief. 11 days into Trump's war with Iran and he still cannot give the American people a clear answer on why he started this war and how long it will last.

Trump promised to lower prices on day one. Instead, he's caused a massive spike in gas prices with his reckless war with Iran. When it comes to broken promises, it does not get more blatant than that. And YOU are paying for it.

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.

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.

Trump knows his kids & grandkids won't have to fight this war with Iran that he's sending Americans into. He knows higher prices at the grocery store & gas pump won't affect him. It's American families that will pay the price for Trump's reckless decisions.

Republicans CHOSE to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid. They CHOSE not to extend the ACA tax credits to keep your premiums down. They said it was too expensive. And yet, Republicans are completely fine with a reckless war with Iran that's costing billions.

Democrats want to get TSA agents paid, but we won't help Republicans cut a blank check to help Stephen Miller terrorize Americans. And I won’t let Trump blackmail Democrats into funding rogue ICE agents just because he started a war with Iran.

We could be lowering the cost of health care, but instead Trump is spending BILLIONS on his reckless war with Iran. Trump is blowing YOUR taxpayer dollars on war & causing gas prices to spike while he's at it.

Did you see Ilana's story on the Pitt? Too many survivors of rape are turned away from hospitals that don't provide rape kits because there aren't enough nurses like Dana. I wrote & passed into law resources to train more staff to treat survivors and help them get justice.

What the hell. We've gone from "this isn't a war" and it's not about regime change to "wars can be fought forever" and will be fought until unconditional surrender and Trump personally picks Iran's leadership.

If Republicans are going to waste time deposing Hillary Clinton, it's well past time Congress gets some answers out of President Trump. This man was a close friend of Epstein, he was found civilly liable of sexual assault, and his name appears in the files more than 38k times.

Republicans have decided they would rather shut down DHS than work with us to rein in CBP & ICE. Republicans know full well that Democrats want to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA and cyber security. I tried to pass a bill to do just that today—and Republicans blocked it!
