Higher grocery bills? Blame the man who doesn’t “think about Americans’ financial situation.”

Today, I offered an amendment that would have shut this scam down. My amendment would've prevented self-dealing by public officials — including the President & members of Congress — who own or promote digital asset companies, including crypto. Every Republican voted against it.

“Smart” glasses—dangerously dumb idea. DHS’s troubling record of using surveillance to silence protesters & target communities makes clear what this proposal really is: a tool for unchecked, wearable surveillance. DHS must immediately reverse course on this dystopian technology.

Small business owners are getting hit from all sides as tariffs and Trump's reckless decisions are driving up costs. I came to Chilte in Phoenix to listen to business leaders about what they need. Small businesses are the backbone of this economy. I'll always fight for them.

Republicans are using junk science to try to march us toward a full-on nationwide abortion ban. We won't stop fighting to protect reproductive freedom for women everywhere.

I’m proud to be from Malden, a city of immigrants—just like the Markeys—who keep the American Dream alive. In our city—and in our Commonwealth—we know that immigrants make America great.

Every day, consumers get unfairly overcharged by big financial companies that use deceptive & abusive practices to scam the little guy. The CFPB was there to level the playing field, until Trump Admin effectively shut it down.

Senator Paul Simon was my mentor & someone who knew the value of understanding how the world works. I joined Senator Wicker to introduce the bipartisan Senator Paul Simon Study Abroad Program Act to create opportunities for American students of all backgrounds to see and experience the world.

Happy 419th birthday to the Virginia National Guard! From responding to emergencies at home to serving on missions overseas, the National Guard has always answered the call in times of need. Thank you for your continuous service to the Commonwealth and our nation.

Some of our state government offices still use computers with black screens and a blinking cursor. As governor, I will replace these decades-old systems with modern technology that delivers results — and holds government accountable to you.

Trump’s war has cost the American taxpayer AT LEAST $29 billion. The war in Iran has cost Americans financially, causing inflation to spiral out of control, gas prices to skyrocket, and grocery costs to climb.

Data centers are eating up more and more of our electricity—and it’s causing chaos in the grid. Families shouldn’t have to worry if their bills are going to shoot up or if their power will shut off because a data center moves in next door. fortune.com/2026/05/12/l...

Trump’s moving forward with his plan to sell AI chips to Chinese companies linked to the Chinese military. Giving China access to this premier US technology is dangerous and threatens our lead in the AI race that will shape the global economy for decades.

Does it really inspire confidence in anyone that Trump often spends his time firing off dozens of conspiracy-related posts an hour in the middle of the night? Shouldn’t he be a little more focused on lowering costs? Ending the war?

The Trump Administration will finally release $47 of the $140 million that Congress already secured to address the Colorado River Crisis. As we face historic drought, I’ll keep demanding that Colorado receives every dollar we were promised, including for Shoshone.

The Trump administration has put working Americans in an untenable economic situation. If Ballroom Republicans won’t think about the suffering of the American people, then they better start thinking long and hard about their own political futures.

I voted seven times to end Trump’s war with Iran. Senate Republicans blocked it every single time. This war is raising prices at the gas pump and at the grocery store. The American people DO NOT support it. End the war now.

Washington Republicans have a choice: burn through $1 billion of your tax dollars to pay for another one of Donald Trump’s vanity projects, or help Americans who are struggling with rising costs. In their recently released budget bill, they’ve shown where their priorities.

In an incredible gift to Big Tobacco, Trump is allowing sales of e-cigs & nicotine pouches without FDA approval. They’re enabling dangerous products to be sold for years without review, a destructive corrupt loophole to the Tobacco Control Act.

If the government shuts down, Congress shouldn’t get paid either. When federal workers miss paychecks, so should we. It’s as simple as that.

How much is Trump's political theater at Guantanamo going to cost? $73 MILLION from taxpayers. That's what the Trump administration told me—up from previous estimates of $40 million. Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse.

Congress can do two things right now to hold Big Tech accountable. Repeal Section 230. Open the courtrooms for families. Put people first—not social media companies.

Encouraged to see a bipartisan year-round E15 bill pass the House. Now it's time for the Senate to do the same, because year-round E15 means lower prices at the pump and supports Michigan's agricultural producers. Let's get it done!

I met with students and teachers from Annunciation Catholic School in DC. They have gone through so much, but they continue to show the courage and strength to fight for what they believe in. In Minnesota and Washington, we must continue to work to pass common-sense gun safety legislation.

Trump admitted he doesn't care about how much you pay for groceries, gas, or healthcare. This November, we're going to flip the Senate blue and show him what it means to put America first.

On the Billionaire Boys Trip to China, what chance any of them think about reducing your cost of living, versus wheeler-dealing for themselves? We know where Trump is: he “doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation,” busy with billion-dollar ballroom and grifting.

Families are already struggling with rising costs and should not be forced to pay junk “convenience fees” just to pay their bills. That’s why I filed a resolution to restore CFPB protections against these abusive pay-to-play fees and stand up for working families and consumers.

And we’re fifteen years too late to the dark money corruption fight, and twenty-five years too late to the Court capture fight, and thirty-five years too late to the climate denial fraud fight. But other than that, we’re doing great.

You shouldn't be forced to pay debts you don't legally owe. But Trump's attack on the CFPB is taking away protections against this. I joined Democrats on the Senate Floor last night to fight for a future where homeownership is part of the American Dream again.

I'm grateful to have earned the support of Minnesota Teamsters, representing over 50,000 workers across our state. From fair wages to job training, I believe in standing up for hardworking Minnesotans, and that's what I will continue to do as Governor.

Donald Trump can lie all he wants, but the data is clear: Trump's chaotic tariffs and his war in Iran are a one-two punch to American families. Inflation is at a multi-year high. Costs are up and they're only climbing. End the war. Lower costs for families.

I asked Director Patel to pass on my thanks for FBI's work stopping a crook who scammed Medicare out of $205 million. He obliged. Only problem? Trump pardoned that scammer. So which is it? Should the FBI keep uncovering fraud, or should Trump keep pardoning these crooks?

I've always believed no Member of Congress should be paid if the government is shut down, which is why I've donated my paycheck in past shutdowns. I was glad to help advance Senator John Kennedy’s legislation to make sure no Senator is paid during a government shutdown.

There are corporations that bury caveats & fees in fine print, hoping Americans do not realize they are being scammed. The Trump Admin ended the guidance that let consumers know when they are entitled to relief from dishonest companies. I’m on the Senate floor to reverse this scammer handout.

Legislation that would allow the year-round sale of E15 just passed the House! 🌽 With gas at $4.50 a gallon, this would help our farmers and give people a cheaper, cleaner option at the pump. If Trump is serious about lowering costs, he’d help make sure this passes the Senate.

You have the right to know your credit score. It's how you can protect your financial future. I joined Senate Dems in a Floor takeover to fight for you and speak out on against Trump’s attack on the CFPB.
