The same administration that removed historical testaments to Jackie Robinson and the Navajo Code Talkers has no problem with this new banner. We have entered a dangerous new period of censorship and propaganda.

Republicans need to grow a spine and vote with Democrats to put an END to Trump's war with Iran. The American people want Congress to focus on lowering prices. They want their tax dollars going toward health care, not another costly and deadly war in the Middle East.

Trump's so-called "golden age of America" is a golden age only for billionaires. He slashed health care and food assistance to give tax breaks to billionaires. Meanwhile, working Americans are left with higher prices, fewer jobs, and the Trump Tariff Tax.

Courage still counts. Kudos to law firms showing spine & standing up to Trump’s illegal bullying. As for firms that cravenly caved, you’ll be accountable—my PSI investigation into these malign deals will continue.

There was no report of an imminent threat, so why has this President gotten Americans killed and put countless more in harm's way? This administration needs to answer to Congress for these brazen attacks.

Trump’s delay tactics are downright illegal, and the courts agree. No more delays. Trump must pay back America’s small businesses, consumers, and working families for the billions of dollars his tariff taxes took from them.

Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers have called for an independent investigation into Renee Good’s killing. Kash Patel and Justice Department officials shut that down. Unacceptable.

Netanyahu got what he wanted but what about the American people? What about the servicemembers who died? What about the nearly 200 schoolchildren killed? There's a reason why past presidents didn’t go to war with Iran: they refused to risk American lives to open Pandora’s Box.

No. American soldiers dying in an unjustified war of choice is NOT just "the way it is." This is a disgraceful way to talk about the cost of war. This is no Commander in Chief.

I introduced a resolution to designate this week as National Social and Emotional Learning Week. As kids are weighed down by significant stress both at school and at home, we must give them the support they need to reach their full potential inside and outside the classroom.

Gambling on war and death doesn’t just present national security risks, it also raises serious concerns about potential insider trading — presenting unscrupulous government officials with a chance to profit off the new war in Iran. These contracts are immoral. The CFTC can and must ban them.

Trump and Republicans: Sorry, no money for your grandma’s healthcare. Also Trump and Republicans: Let’s spend billions blowing up the Middle East. They can always find money for war, just never for you.

The notion that Democrats must now help Republicans cut a blank check for ICE because Trump started a war with Iran that no one asked for is as cynical & absurd as it gets. Democrats want to protect America's national security AND protect Americans from an out-of-control DHS.

The decision to go to war is a monumental and grave one – one that should be made with the consent of Congress and a clear plan. It shouldn’t be taken lightly, but, unfortunately, we've seen Trump do just that. That's why I'll vote YES on @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution.

Trump just made your family's health care a lot more expensive. Because of his cuts, American families’ deductibles could hit $31,000. He cut Medicaid. He gutted our health care system. Our families are paying the price.

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S. No imminent threat. No authorization from Congress. No reason our service members should be dead. And no exit plan or strategy. This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

The Trump family is raking in billions from crypto. How? Well, it helps that they removed ALL attorneys from CFTC Enforcement Division in Chicago, which oversees many crypto companies. Corruption. Enriching themselves at your expense.

Four American service members have died already since Trump started this war. My heart is heavy for their families & loved ones. And the President’s response? He said more troops are “likely” to die & that’s just the “way it is.” He’s wrong. We never have to accept that.

My deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of these three service members we lost. We are eternally grateful for their bravery and sacrifice for our country.

Trump is raising prices at home while razing countries abroad. In addition to untold casualties, Trump's illegal war with Iran will lead to skyrocketing oil prices, and we know the Big Oil vultures are already circulating. We can't let Trump drag us into another endless war.

President Trump was supposed to be talking about the war he's started in Iran that's already claimed the lives of four service members. Instead he's talking about ballrooms and curtains. It's clear he can't be bothered with the safety of our troops.

Fact Check: Trump DID start this war. The Pentagon confirmed there was no evidence Iran was going to attack the U.S. No imminent threat. No exit plan or strategy. Just more lies from this regime as they cost the lives of service members and innocent civilians.
