Even Republicans don't support Trump's Big, Ugly, Bloated War budget. $1.5 TRILLION for war while he cuts investments here at home? Absolutely not. I'm tearing up his budget to write a new one that actually invests in America and our families.

Great to speak with UNLV’s Warrior Queen Project, an incredible mentorship program that empowers young women to speak up for their community and be resilient leaders. These women inspire me and have incredible opportunities in store for them. I can’t wait to see what they accomplish!

The lessons we’ve taken from Star Wars matter today more than ever. But one stands out to me: Hope is like the sun — if you only believe in it when you can see it, you’ll never make it through the night. May the Fourth be with you, always!

Every year, I visit all 87 counties. I build coalitions with proven housing leaders like former St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman and people from across Minnesota to get things done. That's what we need to build more homes so that we can make housing more affordable.

Trump's corruption has been well documented, but perhaps one of his most outrageous — and lucrative — schemes has been his personal meme coin. Since its launch, Trump has made over $200 MILLION from it while those everyday Americans who have invested have lost BILLIONS.

ICE’s spreading tentacles & vicious tactics threaten CT—so I’m proud & grateful to stand with Gov Lamont & our state legislators as they enact safeguards. I’m fighting for the same reforms in federal law.

This is what we knew would always happen – millions of Americans being forced off their health care plans because Republicans took away tax credits to give billionaires tax breaks. Senate Republicans don’t care. This is what they voted for.

President Trump’s cruel immigration policies are tearing families apart. We’ve seen ICE detain young children and use them to pressure parents into cooperating.

Remember when Trump told Congress the war was over because there was a ceasefire? That was 72 hours ago.

Our maritime decline is a threat to our security. While China builds 1,000+ ships a year, the U.S. built only 5 in 2024. I’m teaming up with Rep. John Garamendi on the SHIPS for America Act to revitalize our shipyards, create jobs, and build ships in America again.

On International Firefighters Day, we honor all who risk their lives to keep us safe and those who lost their lives in service. I’m proud that a law I helped pass brought over $20 million in funding to VA last year to ensure our fire departments have the resources they need.

Trump’s war in Iran is hurting our wallets. The national average for gas is up again. $4.46 per gallon. I was just driving around New Jersey, seeing the high prices all over the state and hearing from communities: We can't keep absorbing this war tax.

Patients deserve to know what they’re paying and why they’re paying it. Our bipartisan Patients Deserve Price Tags Act does just that. Check out my recent op-ed for the Sanders Institute on this common sense solution: sandersinstitute.org/hidden-price...

65 years ago, 13 activists boarded buses in DC bound for New Orleans, marking the first freedom ride in U.S. history. As I saw when teaching in a newly integrated school in Mississippi, these individuals inspired a movement that advanced racial equality and fought injustice.

This International Firefighters’ Day, I’d like to applaud the heroism that firefighters display in Michigan and across the country. That’s why I’ve always fought to strengthen federal grant programs that make sure fire departments have enough staff and up-to-date safety equipment and resources.

I will show up for all Minnesotans, whether you're a Republican, Democrat, or Independent. Will work with solution-focused mayors like Hollies Winston of Brooklyn Park to deliver results from fixing roads to public safety. Great to have him there when I laid out my plan to reform state government.

In the U.S., guns are the leading cause of death for children, yet gun manufacturers still market assault weapons to children. No more. We’re demanding that Mountain Billy Gun Lab halt its firearm campaigns geared towards minors immediately.

Gas is $4.46 per gallon. No meaningful action on lowering housing costs. Child care costs still skyrocketing. Trump ran on lowering costs, and instead he’s actively making them worse.

Families can't afford to fill their tank and put food on the table because of Republican wars and tariffs. Health care is more expensive than ever thanks to Republican cuts and obstruction. Americans simply don't care about a stupid ballroom.

U.S. and Iranian ships are exchanging missile fire today in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump’s claims that hostilities have ceased were bullshit. He is lying to the American people and prolonging his disastrous war of choice— And he’s doing it illegally.

Trump can call this war over all he wants… Americans know the truth. It’s way easier to get into a war in the Middle East than it is to get out of one. We’re still deep in this one.

Prediction markets are rigged against consumers—insider trading, misleading bets & worse returns than Vegas slot machines. A shocking 67% of profits go to only 0.1% accounts.

Family farms are in crisis. We need to end tariffs on our trade allies. We need to provide more assistance after natural disasters. And we need to pass a Farm Bill that gives farmers the price stability they need.

The Supreme Court again attacked the right to fair representation in Congress. By again slicing away at the protections of the Voting Rights Act, communities of color in Michigan and across the country could see their voices diminished and lose the ability to elect a representative of their choice.

GAS PRICES ARE $4.39 AND CLIMBING I stood at a gas station in Upstate NY with veterans, farmers, and families paying the price every time they fill up. This is Trump country. They don’t want to pay for his reckless Iran war. They’re saying: enough. End the war. Stop the pain at the pump.

When discussing a bill that would tackle housing affordability, Trump reportedly said, “no one gives a [bleep] about housing,” insisting Republicans focus on his voter disenfranchisement bill, the SAVE America Act, instead. This Admin would rather undermine democracy than lower costs for families.

Trump passed the largest cuts to Medicaid in history. Hospitals are laying off staff and closing because of him. Right now, in several states like mine, he's using AI to deny seniors on Medicare the treatments their doctors are recommending. These are just facts.

This is terrifying. After Director Patel purged the FBI workforce, 9,000 seasoned professionals were forced to work on a Trump pet project. I have repeatedly questioned the FBI about this ill-advised threat to our public safety and readiness.

Hegseth says he’s ordering a “real science” study on women in combat arms. But this isn’t about discovery—it’s about doubt. Women in combat have already proven themselves. The real question is whether this regime will follow the facts or cherry-pick findings to fit its agenda.
