Today is Tax Day. Trump promised tax relief. But rising costs from his war in Iran and his price-spiking tariffs have wiped out any extra tax refund Americans will see this year.

The American people deserve to know their sensitive information is safe from cyberattacks and data breaches, but the Trump Admin is weakening consumer protections designed to safeguard personal information. I’m leading a resolution to reverse this policy change and ensure your data remains secure.

I just voted to end Donald Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Republicans in Congress blocked it.

This is what happens when you have a president who hands out tax breaks to billionaires, drives up costs for working people, and wastes taxpayer dollars on another endless war. The American people have had enough of Trump's lies.

HAPPENING NOW: We're forcing a vote on another War Powers Resolution – our fourth since this war began. If Republicans vote no yet again, we will continue to force votes on these resolutions every week until this war ends or Republicans finally find the courage to stand up to Donald Trump.

Where are Senate Republicans? Months into this war, they’ve refused to restrain Trump’s war of choice and have had no hearings.

Trump says his dangerous, expensive and unnecessary war with Iran could be over “very soon.” Really? So why is Trump sending another 10,000 troops to the Middle East? Trump has no idea how to end this crisis, and we are all paying for it.

Another large corporate merger tightening its grip on the food system. Not only would this limit purchasing options for independent restaurants, it would raise costs. Sysco could limit what ends up on the menu, reshaping dining experiences, and draining our wallets.

California is the epicenter of America's housing crisis. Proud to have support from leaders across California as I continue to push for my bill to build millions of new homes and make life more affordable for Californians.

For Netanyahu, the war in Gaza was not enough. Iran was not enough. He is now waging a full-blown war of expansion in Lebanon. The time is long overdue for Congress to listen to the American people and end U.S. military aid to the extremist Israeli government.

The Trump Administration is starting to admit that shadowy private credit might be in trouble. But they’re still trying to shove it into YOUR 401(k). Every day Trump and his cronies find another way to tell working people they couldn’t care less about them.

No Colorado family recovering from floods and wildfires should be denied help because of President Trump’s political games. I’m working on legislation that will give Congress the power to overturn Trump’s callous decision to withhold disaster relief from Americans in crisis.

$1,000,000,000,000 This regime's unauthorized war with Iran could cost U.S. taxpayers up to $1 TRILLION. $1 TRILLION — with a "T". All while they claim there isn't enough funding for health care, food assistance, education programs... Republicans' priorities are beyond wrong.

Like most, I’ve experienced the nuisance of robocalls. These calls often prey on non-consenting consumers. It’s got to stop, which is why I joined @schakowsky.house.gov and @kevinmullin.house.gov to introduce the Protecting American Consumers from Robocalls Act to guard against phone scammers.

It’s Tax Day. Don’t forget to file, and also don’t forget that this Administration got rid of the free IRS Direct File program, gave tax breaks to billionaires, reduced the staff of the IRS by one-fourth, and cut the budget for investigating sophisticated tax schemes.

A record number of supertankers are preparing to ship American oil overseas—another way for Big Oil to profit from Trump's illegal and reckless war in Iran. Oil exports pollute our communities and reduce our energy security, while our prices continue to rise at the pump.
