The Trump family crypto company, World Liberty Financial, just got approved for a bank charter. That makes Trump the first president in history to approve and oversee his own company's ability to operate a bank. 1/2

All this comes as the President dismisses and demeans these sailors’ sacrifices. It’s long past time for Congress to exert its war powers to rein in this war, but that will require Republicans to steel their spines and finally stand up to the President.

Men and women in uniform bear the brunt of the burden. 18 service members have died during this war, including one Minnesotan. 600 have been injured, many severely.

I’m grateful that the USS George Washington will relieve the Lincoln and its crew, but this serves as a stark warning about what happens when we stretch our military so thin.

The conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln do not make good on that promise. Food rationing. Sewage overflowing. No laundry. No hot water. Severe mental distress to the point some sailors have tried jumping overboard. All while maintaining 12–16-hour shifts in a combat zone.
- TS
We ask our sailors and their families to make incredible sacrifices. In return, we promise to move hell and high water to get them the support they need to carry out their operations.

If health is the first wealth, Trump and MAGA Republicans are looting the American people. While billionaires get tax cuts, the rest get higher premiums. When Democrats take back the Senate, our first priority: reversing the cuts and lowering healthcare costs for everyone.

Pres. Trump was wrong on Putin. And he’s wrong on North Korea. Instead of strengthening our national security & alliances, Trump is handing Kim Jong Un a propaganda victory.

The Attorney General is supposed to be the lawyer for the American people, not the personal lawyer for a corrupt president. Todd Blanche is already proving he’s unfit for this office.

If the Trump administration won’t act, as Governor I’ll create a state tax credit to bring these costs down.

We need to lower health care costs, which have skyrocketed across the country. My opponent supported the Big Beautiful Bill’s drastic Medicaid cuts and doesn’t support extending the health care tax credits to give Minnesotans relief from rising premiums.

For the 8 million Americans who depend on insulin to survive, choosing between their life-saving medication or paying for groceries is an impossible choice. We must pass my INSULIN Act to cap insulin at $35 a month and ensure that no American is forced to make such a decision.

President Trump has abused his office to grow his own fortune and enrich his family and friends. Last year alone he made $1.4B from crypto ventures, and rewarded investors with exclusive dinners and other access. It is blatant corruption unlike anything we have ever seen from an American president.

Our ferry service is a fast & convenient way to travel between local waterfronts across Rhode Island. To help connect communities & strengthen our state, I joined the delegation in steering $13.5M in federal funding for RIDOT to upgrade the Providence Ferry Terminal.

Between sky-high prices at home & deteriorating conditions facing our service members abroad, it's clear the American people & our troops are paying the price for Trump's reckless war. But instead of accountability & honesty, Trump treats our military families with open disrespect. It's disgraceful.

Trump & Hegseth think war is a game. They don't care about preventing civilian harm. From tearing apart the office responsible for minimizing such harm to producing this cover-up report, they are whitewashing the killing of civilians.

The Red Cross just declared a national blood supply crisis—and it’s already impacting treatments. It can mean the difference between life and death. I thanked the professionals at medical sites like ImpactLife in Springfield today for their service.

Trump is rewarding a regime that sends weapons and troops to fight for Russia and has a long history of cooperation with Iran. Undermining our allies while making concessions to our adversaries is not a show of strength—it only emboldens those who threaten us.
- ES
President Trump is playing right into Kim Jong-Un's hands. Our alliance with South Korea is critical to U.S. security and announcing a decision to unilaterally scale back joint exercises, over social media, all while touting a "very good relationship" with Kim, is a gross miscalculation.

There are some politicians, even here in Wisconsin, who don’t respect the voters’ will. They tried to overturn your vote in 2020. Now, they're pushing to stop eligible voters from voting at all. Not me. I'll always fight to protect your right to vote & have your voice heard.

It’s worth noting that for all the rancor in Congress, we came together earlier this year to pass the ROAD to Housing Act – a deeply bipartisan step forward to address one of the most crushing affordability crises of our time. I was proud to help write it.

Troops aboard the USS Lincoln have been at sea for nearly nine months. Their families are describing severe exhaustion, rotten food, broken toilets—and the Pentagon is denouncing their cries as “fake news.” Secretary Hegseth, how could you let this happen?

Republicans delivered $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid last year. They also delivered $1 trillion in tax cuts to the top 1%. That's not a coincidence.

Stop two on my rural economy tour: a beautiful day to be in Walker on Leech Lake and meet at the library with local leaders. Got an update on the road project that got some federal funding. Like everywhere else they need housing and child care!

Trump promised to bring down the cost of gas. But his reckless war with Iran has pushed it over $4 a gallon. Instead of lowering costs, he’s telling Americans he’ll “never apologize” for raising them.

From upgrading runways and taxiways to reducing airport noise and improving passenger facilities, these investments will make airports across California safer and more reliable.

The "free" Qatari Air Force One has cost us God only knows how much to renovate. Why are we paying for Donald Trump to pimp his ride?

It takes less time to brew an ale than it’s taken Todd Blanche to prove us right: he’ll never be an independent check on the President. When we opposed his confirmation, this was exactly our concern.

I grew up watching my parents, who were both police officers, work hard just to get by. I believe if you work hard, you should be able to build a good life. But right now, people at the very top keep getting ahead while working families fall further behind.

From Truth Social grifts and crypto scams to no-bid contracts and shady real estate deals, Trump has turned the presidency into a pay-to-play system. While the president is cashing in billions, costs for working families keep rising.

Leaders of the free world aren’t supposed to be trying to win popularity contests with communist dictators. We need to stand with our allies and the forces of freedom, not sell them out to impress a tyrant.

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been deployed for more than 250 days, including more than 200 consecutive days without a port call. Reports of exhaustion, food and water shortages, and serious mental health crises aboard the ship are deeply troubling.

President Trump’s suggestion that North Korea has been “unthreatening and respectful” utterly ignores the regime’s help to Russia’s war in Ukraine and growing number of nuclear weapons, and ballistic missile tests—including one that can reach key allies and the U.S.

When will Trump stop embracing dictators and alienating our allies? When I visited South Korea last year, we reaffirmed the importance of joint exercises to keep our troops ready and our allies secure. Gutting them to appease nuclear-armed Kim Jong Un is a grave mistake.

It is one of the greatest foreign policy fiascos in American history, led by a president who doesn’t know what he’s doing. Trump has failed our troops and has failed our nation. We must end this war immediately with serious diplomacy so we can begin to rebuild from the damage he has wrought.

Trump’s memorandum of misunderstanding with Iran has been an utter failure and complete flop that has delivered no progress towards his stated goals – but has hammered Americans with gas skyrocketing above $4 per gallon.
