Can’t believe the Trump administration is admitting Americans are spending more on everything in Trump’s economy.

Hundreds of farms can’t survive under Trump. His chaotic economic policies—including his tariffs and war against Iran, which have driven up costs and caused a fertilizer crisis—are hurting our farmers. I’ll keep doing all I can to reverse this trend.

Trump's war is driving up the cost of everything — from soda cans and clothes to MRI scans. You shouldn't have to pay for his decisions. www.wsj.com/finance/comm...

I’m glad access to Mifepristone has been temporarily restored, but temporary is not enough. Reproductive freedom can't depend on shifting court rulings or state-by-state restrictions.

Our firefighters are mission-driven. What they do is a calling. They serve us every day without question, and always run toward danger to help. I joined the Michigan Fire Fighters Union Convention to say thank you on behalf of all Michiganders for what our firefighters do for our communities.

Last year, Colorado faced historic flooding and fires. President Trump's response: withhold emergency relief as political retaliation against Colorado communities.

The federal government should not force banks to enforce immigration law. That is not their job and would sow chaos in our financial system. Our bill prohibits the Trump Administration from attempting such overreach.

Spent some time at Honeywell Aerospace in Glendale. Nearly 7,000 Arizona jobs. And the navigation and guidance systems that got Artemis II to the moon and back were built here. Arizona isn't just part of the space program, we're what makes it work.

Donald Trump is slapping his face on everything from passports to coins. But here are things he won’t put his name on: 15 million Americans losing health coverage Gas prices at a 4-year high Tariffs costing families $2,500 Trump wants his face on everything but accountability.

Trump has slashed health care, shuttered doctors offices, and fired thousands… ...but wants $1 billion for a ballroom and tens of billions more for a forever war.

We've heard so many mixed messages from this White House on the war. President Trump should stop negotiating with his own Administration and start negotiating with Iran.

For Republicans, there's always money for ICE and there's even ONE BILLION DOLLARS for Trump’s White House ballroom. But there's no money to help you or your family get by. Oh and whatever happened to everything being privately funded?

Nurses in Minnesota and across the country have been on the frontlines of health care, caring for patients and supporting families through every challenge. This Nurse Appreciation Week, I am grateful for all the life-saving care and dedication you bring every day.

My parents were both police officers. They taught me what it means to serve your community, and it’s why I joined the Navy and NASA. Public service is about putting the needs of others before yourself — something a lot of people in Washington have forgotten these days.

Wonderful to meet with staff from the Boys and Girls Club of Mason Valley and see the progress being made on their new Early Learning Center in Dayton! This new facility will allow the Boys and Girls Club to expand their services to even more youth in the area.

Even Fox News knows Senate Republicans have their priorities twisted. As families struggle with rising costs and sky-high gas prices, they want to spend taxpayer dollars on Trump's ballroom.

Health care affordability is a top concern of my constituents and this President has done nothing to address it. My bipartisan INSULIN Act does by capping out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 a month for millions of families.

The Trump administration is demanding personal information about every 2020 election worker in Fulton County. What other reason would the President have to ask for this information but to intimidate our election workers? He is desperate to create a pretext to interfere in 2026.

If you have your health, you have everything. If you don’t, nothing else matters. I’m grateful to the Delaware health care leaders who joined my roundtable to discuss how we can reduce ER wait times and ensure Delawareans have access to timely, affordable, quality care.

This National Nurses Week and every week, let’s recognize the exceptional nurses in our communities that keep us safe and healthy. From supporting their mental health to addressing health care staffing shortages, I’m going to keep doing all I can to stand with our healers.

Remember: Trump promised to bring DOWN prices 'on day 1.' He's now sending his top economic advisor out to try and convince the American people that it's a GOOD thing that they are paying more for "everything." They haven’t got a clue.

The stories we heard yesterday from patients and healthcare workers at Denver Health were harrowing. People are choosing between healthcare and housing. In the richest country in the world, that’s unacceptable. We have to fix it.

It was great to join leadership and staff from the Northern Neck-Middlesex Free Health Clinic today to tour their facility, discuss challenges they’re facing after Medicaid cuts, and learn more about how they will use $1 million in funding I secured to expand access to dental services.

Glad to join community leaders in Aurora to celebrate construction of the East Colfax Avenue Bus Rapid Transit line. By investing in affordable and reliable transit, we're making it easier for Coloradans to live, work, and raise their families here. www.denvergazette.com/2026/05/01/a...

Last year, Republicans passed the single largest cut to health care in our nation’s history—& rural hospitals are taking the biggest hit. I was at Kittitas Valley Healthcare to talk about the status of health care here in Central WA. Instead of funding Trump's war, we should fund Medicaid.

Trump is using taxpayer dollars to bribe huge corporations to abandon wind farms that would lower consumer prices by displacing expensive polluting fossil units — a political pay-off to his big fossil fuel donors. youtu.be/O73_qd8YQus?...

Michiganders continue to pay the price at the gas pump for President Trump’s war with Iran. It’s been over 60 days, and Congress and the American people have yet to hear a strategy for peace and how we will stop these rising costs. michiganindependent.com/economy/grea...

This is hypocrisy at its finest. Trump's gold-encrusted ballroom has gone from costing $200 million funded by shady donors to $1 BILLION from TAXPAYERS—snuck into the ICE bill by Senate Republicans. But Trump wants to prosecute Powell for cost overruns of the Fed's renovation.

Ted Turner was a media visionary and a dedicated conservationist. From fighting to “save everything” to bringing bison back to the West, he was the real-life Captain Planet. I will miss his leadership, and my thoughts are with his family and friends.

Got to visit one of Joshua Basin Water District's well sites, which provides millions of gallons of drinking water to the region. I will continue fighting for the funding we need to ensure good clean drinking water for generations to come.

The rise in antisemitism is beyond troubling. It should be a call to action for us all. I’ve heard from Jewish communities in NJ about these anxieties. No one should fear being the target of this kind of hate. We must do everything we can to combat it in all its forms.

Higher gas prices and higher grocery bills all because of Trump's war in Iran. The American people need a break. This November, we're flipping the Senate and electing leaders who will work for you, not Trump.

Trump says higher gas prices are a “small price to pay” for his reckless, illegal war. Tell that to Americans paying $20+ more per fill-up—which will cost drivers over $730 more per year on average. That’s not small.

Passive voice? Climate change has “become a partisan issue”? Say it straight: fossil fuel industry’s corruption has made it a partisan issue; Republicans are hip-deep in fossil fuel money and lies.

Republicans kicked millions of kids and families off SNAP, then drove up the cost of basically everything with Trump's reckless tariffs and war of choice with Iran. They do not care about helping working families—not one bit—and I will keep fighting back.

When it’s you vs. the rich, Trump picks the rich. Every. Single. Time. The Senate passed this housing bill 89–10. The White House supported it. Now Trump’s siding with corporate landlords over families who just want to own a home.
