While Nevada families worry about how they’ll afford gas for their car, health insurance, and groceries, Trump’s focused on building a $400 million ballroom and a gold arch honoring himself.

I am praying this ceasefire holds. I am praying that diplomacy gives way to a lasting solution. And above all, I am praying for peace on earth.

Excited to announce funding for the Windham Region Chamber of Commerce Foundation for services that benefit the wellbeing of veterans. Our nation’s veterans deserve the best we have to offer—& this funding will ensure they receive the support they deserve.

It’s corrupt and gross – a handful of traders seem to be raking in millions of dollars using insider information from the Trump admin. This week, I’m breaking down what’s going on here and what we should do about it.

I'll always fight for an economy that lowers costs, strengthens America’s energy security, and puts the financial stability of Delaware families ahead of Trump’s chaotic agenda.

Miners risk their health to power our communities. I was glad to host an event in St. Paul yesterday with miners, retirees, and other stakeholders to discuss how to improve access to benefits and expand treatment for miners with black lung disease.

Congratulations to Judge Chris Taylor, Wisconsin’s newest Supreme Court justice! An incredible victory — and another example of voters rejecting the chaos and damage of the Trump administration.

We are living through a fundamental shift in global politics. The anxiety Americans feel is a symptom of a country that senses its own fragility—both at home and abroad—and we need to chart a way forward that is grounded in reality. 1/2

Gas prices keep rising with no signs of stopping. How much more financial pain is Trump going to force on working families because of his war of choice?

We have the numbers to prove it. This regime cares more about funneling BILLIONS of YOUR taxpayer dollars into an unauthorized war than they do about taking care of our veterans or your ability to afford health care, groceries, energy, or housing. It's diabolical.

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos shouldn't be paying the same amount in Social Security tax as someone making $175,000 a year. Billionaires are not paying their fair share.

NIH research has supported nearly every new drug in the past decade, but President Trump wants to cut its budget by $5 billion next year. The President’s cuts will take cures away from patients and hope away from families.

President Trump relented in his threat to wipe out Iranian civilization less than two hours before his deadline, after terrorizing the world for 48 hours. (1/3)
- CS
Trump is a military moron. His war, with a price tag of $44 billion and $4+ gas, made us worse off today than we were when he started it. And if he restarts this war we will be in even worse shape. We must pass our War Powers Resolution to end this war for good.
- CC
I’m relieved to see that the president has backed down on his threat to commit war crimes in Iran.
- TB
Diplomacy has always been the answer, which is why the President shouldn’t have gotten us into this war of choice. It’s been reckless, cost U.S. soldiers their lives, and is raising prices on families. A ceasefire is a start, but Congress needs to do our jobs and end this war.
- RB
A ceasefire is good news—only because this purposeless war should be ended as soon as possible. The best time to cease fire was before the war began, & before Trump wasted tens of billions, cost thousands of lives, triggered global economic & energy crisis.
- MH
It's a relief that President Trump agreed to a ceasefire rather than follow through on his unhinged threats, but let's be clear: Granite Staters and Americans want a permanent end to this illegal, dangerous, and costly war.

Earlier this year, @sanders.senate.gov and I secured $4.6 million in federal funding to help build Vermont’s largest dental clinic. I visited the future site in Colchester to celebrate this project that will go on to provide thousands of Vermonters with affordable, quality care.

A return to diplomatic regional discussions will save lives and dollars and protect America's long-term interests, while President Trump’s irresponsible words and actions undermine them. Congress must impose constraints on this President’s wrongheaded use of force.

Trump may have backed down for now, but he’s shown how unhinged he is by threatening the death of a “whole civilization.” I’m heading back to DC to try and get answers for the American people. Congress needs to return to the Capitol immediately and vote to end this war.

The Trump Admin and Congressional Republicans’ devastating cuts to Medicaid and the expiration of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits are forcing people to sacrifice their health just so they can afford rent and groceries.

DHS's threat to remove customs services from CT is just another example of lawless bullying from the Trump Administration—punishing states for refusing to bend the knee to Trump's reckless, harmful immigration policies. www.reuters.com/world/dhs-sa...

I’m glad there is a reported ceasefire deal with Iran. But we shouldn’t be in this illegal war in the first place. And Donald Trump can’t simply threaten war crimes with impunity. Congress needs to get back in session now to stop this war and remove Donald Trump.
- JM
Trump’s threats against Iranian civilians are shocking and dangerous. They break every moral code. Congress needs to return to D.C. NOW and vote to rein in this insanity. We know this is wrong. It shouldn’t be partisan.

I’m in DC today, ready and able to vote to rein in this out-of-control war. Republicans control the Senate and the House – they need to have the courage to call us back into session and then vote to hold this President accountable.

Swap Putin for Orban here: “Orbán has been with the president for a very long time. He was with him through the trials and tribulations, through the entire campaign.”

Justice Department attorneys aren’t Donald Trump’s personal attorneys. They’re OUR attorneys. And they work for our country—not just him.

Reminder: Right now, Democrats have a chance to stand up to Trump's chaos. Trump just requested an additional $1.5 trillion in military funding. We cannot hand over a huge check to a President intent on committing war crimes. I will do everything in my power to block it.

Threatening to wipe out an entire civilization is morally bankrupt and a major war crime, risking the lives of innocent civilians - including children. He seems detached from reality. I don’t know who (if anyone) can get through to him. Congress needs to step in and stop him.
- SW
An aged and compromised Commander-in-Chief is losing his grip on reality, increasing dangers at home and for our brave troops overseas. Threatening to inflict massive civilian casualties is un-American; the stuff of cruel dictators. Republicans should no longer stand idly by.
- RD
This is a power grab by a weaponized Trump Justice Department. State bar associations investigate ethical misconduct of all barred attorneys. The Trump DOJ can’t be trusted to investigate DOJ attorneys. State bars should continue to independently investigate.

Donald Trump said “a whole civilization will die tonight”. There is no room for interpretation. The President of the United States is threatening genocide in Iran.
- GP
The President started this war flying by the seat of his pants. Now he’s threatening an outrageous, unconscionable escalation. We need a clear exit strategy, not a President recklessly putting even more U.S. servicemembers and innocent lives in harm’s way.

Today, President Trump issued an ultimatum that “Iran’s whole civilization will die tonight” unless the regime complies with his demands to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. He is threatening war crimes to fix a crisis he created. This is a reckless, dangerous escalation.

The Trump administration wants to create further chaos in our airports and our country. These ideas aren’t solutions, they're just retaliation that’ll make life harder for us.

Threatening to end an entire civilization is beyond depraved. Where are Republicans? Will they speak out against this open threat to commit war crimes or continue their reckless, dangerous silence?
