"Last year, Donald Trump told the American people that Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated.” Now he’s using that same program to justify a new war. So which is it? The American people are not stupid."

This is Trump’s message to Americans tired of endless wars. He wants to spend BILLIONS on his war while the American people struggle to buy gas and groceries.

Today marks 111 years since the Armenian Genocide, where more than 1.5 million Armenians were murdered. As we honor the memory of those killed, we recommit to never forgetting the horrors of this dark chapter in history.

Our ski economy generates millions for Granite State communities. As climate change threatens this vital industry, I’ve secured funding for snow pack research and monitoring—making our ski economy more resilient in the face of changing weather patterns.

The President has attacked Americans’ access to the ballot box and targeted mail-in voting. I joined @padilla.senate.gov to introduce the Absentee MVP Act to protect Americans’ right to vote from any presidential administration that tries to interfere with absentee and mail-in ballots.

We’re in a cost-of-living emergency, and it's time Washington treated it like one. I've introduced three bills to suspend the gas tax, cut taxes for working families, and lower costs on everyday expenses — because Arizona families need all the help they can get.

What a shameless grift. The President's son bragging about a $24 million Pentagon contract like it's a game show prize. Meanwhile, Trump is demanding a $1.5 TRILLION war budget so defense contractors get rich while you pay at the pump for his war with Iran. Obscene corruption.

Trump said that he wouldn't use nukes against Iran, saying a “nuclear weapon should never be allowed to be used by anybody.” I agree, but I don’t trust him. We must pass my bill with @reptedlieu.bsky.social to require an act of Congress before Trump could use nukes first.

Congress should be making it easier for families to put food on the table. That's why I joined my colleagues to introduce this bill to let SNAP participants buy hot rotisserie chicken. There’s no good reason a family can buy a cold one but not a hot one.

I join the Armenian community today in mourning the 1.5 million innocent lives murdered in the Armenian genocide. I condemn the continued human rights violations impacting Armenians and proudly stand with Michigan's resilient Armenian community as they share their stories.

The Trump Administration is trying to dismantle our legal immigration system piece by piece. It indefinitely paused processing for LEGAL immigration applications—with little explanation and zero plan to restart. Time to investigate.

Children around the world have died because DOGE destroyed USAID, all in the name of cutting costs. And now we learn from the Trump Administration that the “close out” costs for shutting down USAID may be $19 BILLION? What an unconscionable waste.

Trump wants a Fed Chair that will do his bidding. He'll drop the bogus investigation into Powell but not Lisa Cook because it clears the path for Senate Republicans to confirm Kevin Warsh, Trump’s pick for Fed Chair. You deserve a Fed that works for you, not Donald Trump.

75 years ago yesterday, Barbara Johns led hundreds of students in a walkout protesting racial discrimination in Farmville. Her brave actions contributed to the outlawing of school segregation nationwide in Brown v. Board of Ed. I'm glad a statue in the Capitol now honors her legacy.

Trump's war of choice in Iran could end tomorrow, and according to the White House, oil tankers still wouldn't be able to go through the Strait of Hormuz until November. Food and gas prices will stay high for months. Why is Trump trying to hide that truth from Americans?

Schoolyards should be so much more than concrete or blacktop. That’s why I’m reintroducing my Revitalizing America’s Schoolyards Act. I want to help schools in New Mexico and across the country turn their schoolyards into greener, more enriching outdoor spaces like this one.

Trump's promise to "end inflation" was total BS. New reporting shows Americans have spent over $2,300 MORE on groceries, housing and energy costs due to needless inflation under Trump. $2,300 MORE. Because of his illegal tariffs, unauthorized war and terrible economic policies.

Donald Trump and Republicans gifted Meta BILLIONS in tax breaks last year. Meta reported record profits — then turned around and laid off thousands of workers. Giant corporate tax handouts don't "trickle down."

Like millions of American families, I’ve seen firsthand how unaffordable lifesaving insulin can be. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would work to solve this crisis—capping insulin prices to ensure everyone can afford the medication they need.

Donald Trump’s attacks on Social Security have made it harder for Americans to get their benefits. We launched our Social Security War Room a year ago to fight back and stop Trump's damage — and that’s exactly what we’ve done. I'll keep fighting to protect Social Security.

President Trump is using the federal government to go after his enemies. And if they can do that to a Senator imagine what they can do to a local clerk or a mom who goes viral on TikTok. The intimidation is the point, and it's right out of an authoritarian playbook.

Congress needs to make it clear that no public official or other person with insider information can use it to profit off bets in prediction markets. My bill would ban contracts tied to war, assassination, terrorism, and death. 🧵

Trump wants to eliminate an anti-poverty program helping 600,000 people in Massachusetts with career development, early childhood education, and housing every year. Nationwide, it costs just 0.0005% of what Trump wants to spend on his bloated “Department of War.”

Democrats had very simple asks for ICE reforms: No more masks, enforced code of conduct, end mass targeting. Republicans refused. Instead of negotiating, they started the process of jamming through $70 billion in ICE funding without a single Democratic vote. I voted no.

It's Day 55 of Trump's reckless war with Iran. People in this country can't afford health care. They can't afford housing. They can't afford gas. Every day that Trump refuses to end this war costs billions of dollars that working families in the U.S. need.
