Trump has said twice today that his $1.8 billion slush fund to pay off cop-beaters, campaign donors, and insurrectionists is still on the table, and I believe him. That’s why I’m introducing an amendment to the Republican spending bill to permanently ban it.

This is EXACTLY why @democrats.senate.gov will be forcing a vote this week to outlaw Trump's MAGA slush fund permanently.

Trump lost the 2020 election, fair and square. This sends a clear and chilling message: if the President doesn’t get the results he wants, expect the full force of the federal government to get involved. This is not how democracy works, and we will not be intimidated.

Working people pay taxes on every paycheck while billionaires use loopholes to avoid paying theirs. Here's how the Robinhood Act closes one of those loopholes.

I'll take my wins where I can get 'em! My bill with @repricklarsen.bsky.social to restore marine habitats in the Northwest Straits just passed the House! I'll keep working to get it through the Senate so we can keep protecting marine species & growing WA state's outdoor recreation economy! 🌊🛶🌲

DHS confirmed it is ready for trade and travelers on the Gordie Howe Bridge. That is great news for Michigan! Once open, the bridge will support international commerce that grows Michigan’s economy.

The DOJ just permanently shielded Trump from IRS audits on returns already filed — for him, his family, and his businesses. Another day focused on protecting himself rather than the American people.

Trump's corrupt deal with his own Justice Department tries to put the President above the law. I'm leading the charge to demand answers from the Treasury Secretary and IRS CEO about this DOJ settlement that handed the President and his family a license to dodge IRS scrutiny and accountability.

The Trump arch, the Trump garden of heroes, the Trump-Kennedy Center, President Donald J. Trump Airport, the list goes on. Why should your tax dollars have to pay for an unpopular president's vanity projects?

Yesterday, the IDF seized 4 students from their homes in the West Bank, including 20-year-old American, Sama Safi. The Israeli govt didn’t tell her family or the U.S. Embassy where or why she was being taken & is holding her without charges. America must secure her release NOW.

Republicans in Congress are running from this boondoggle and the disgraced slush fund for cop beaters. Trust me. There will be more MAGA madness but no help for struggling American families.

Thanks to the outrage of the American people and hard-fought challenges by Senate Democrats, Senate Republicans finally gave up on funding Trump’s billionaire ballroom for now. But can we really be sure this is the last dance for Trump’s billionaire ballroom?

Scientific research should be nonpartisan and trustworthy, not corrupted by Trump and his billionaire buddies.

I said I would do everything to fight Trump's anti-family green card policy, and now I'm doing just that. But this is just the first step.

The Trump admin has made it crystal clear that they’d rather run with conspiracy theories than trusted science. The American people deserve to hear directly from Trump’s NSF director nominee. There should be a Senate hearing ASAP. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/s...

The Trump admin's war on science continues. They think that burying data that shows how the climate is changing will help them kill our momentum to take climate action—but we won’t stop fighting, alongside the people living through floods, wildfires, droughts, & climate chaos.

With gas prices skyrocketing, Americans deserve choices in how they travel. That’s why I’m leading Democrats to fight for a historic investment in world class transit, passenger rail, EV charging, and safe roads for walking and biking.

This latest attempt to impose sweeping tariffs on many of our trading partners is just another effort to raise costs on the American people, who are already paying more for everyday essentials as a result of the President’s war in Iran. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/03/b...

The Farm Bureau was with us and we talked about the year’s crop, trade policy and the special blend of hard work and grit needed to be a cherry farmer in America.

Visits like this are a great chance for me to hear directly from family farmers on what hurdles they face when dealing with government, so that I can bang pots and pans in D.C. to get them some relief.

It’s hard to overstate just how important cherries are to northern Michiganders. As a member of the Ag Committee, I take any chance I can get to visit our specialty crop farmers, like Royal Farms in Ellsworth.

Trump’s illegal, reckless and expensive war in Iran is driving up costs for families and small businesses everywhere—and there’s no end in sight. Trump himself said yesterday “I don’t care” if negotiations to end the war are over. Ridiculous. End the war. End the pain on Main Street.

President Trump is doubling down on his $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund. Another reminder that we cannot take anyone's word for it. The fund is not dead until it is dead. We need to pass our bill, the Drain the Slush Fund Act, to do just that. www.cnn.com/2026/06/03/p...

Trump is trying to impose a bogus political litmus test for all federal grants – limiting the funding, subjects, and potential discoveries of our researchers. The cost of such a test would be felt for generations and could permanently stunt American scientific progress.

It's been two weeks since I connected Trump's Acting Attorney General with Epstein survivors and they haven't heard a peep from the DOJ. That's disgraceful. Todd Blanche said he'd meet with them—and I will not let him off the hook. Epstein survivors deserve justice.

If AI could disrupt half the workforce, we can’t wait until people lose their jobs to act. The companies profiting from AI should help cushion the disruption. That starts with taxing the data centers powering it.

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which I helped negotiate, provided $1 billion in funding for schools to hire mental health workers and counselors. Now, the Trump administration has cut off those grants, leaving children and schools high and dry.

As Trump wages war on our elections: @democrats.senate.gov's Election Protection Task Force is gearing up with lawyers and response teams the moment he tries to interfere. The GOP is already ignoring your bills, wages, health care, and freedom—we won’t let them ignore your vote too.

After seeing a dad put back grapes because they were too expensive, I was inspired to try and make things better for families across Delaware. That's what government exists to do: make life easier - not harder - for people. This is a sign Trump's leadership is failing us.

I trust Trump about as far as I could throw him. Congress needs to BAN any kind of corrupt slush fund like this from EVER existing. A wink and a nod won't cut it—we need to ban it by LAW.

Scott Pelley is one of the most respected journalists in America. He was fired because he's focused the truth. The leaders of CBS are focused on keeping President Trump happy. Suppressing reporters because the president finds it inconvenient is a sign of a democracy in crisis.

That's why I'm pushing to stop hedge funds from buying single family homes, cut the red tape slowing construction, and open the door for first-time buyers. Owning a home should be within reach for anyone willing to work for it.
- MK
Owning a home shouldn't be a luxury. But for a lot of Arizonans right now it feels completely out of reach, and it's even harder when Wall Street can buy up whole neighborhoods and price working families out of their own communities.
