At the Tate family farm near Cannon Falls to talk about rising fertilizer costs hurting farmers in the wake of the war in Iran and this administration’s tariffs. I’ve introduced bipartisan bills to increase price transparency and expand domestic production so farmers have the certainty they need.

The war in Iran has cost billions of dollars of taxpayer money. President Trump campaigned on lowering costs, yet we've seen a total abdication of that commitment to the American people.

We will also be pushing the Dept IG to conclude its reported investigation as quickly & comprehensively as possible. Cooperation by Sec. Mullin is imperative.

Our inquiry with @welch.senate.gov is focused on evidence of alleged fraud, waste & mismanagement in contract awards involving Sec. Noem & top leaders at DHS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Reproductive care is health care. When Republicans attack abortion access, they also go after birth control, cancer screenings, and basic preventive care. I will continue to oppose any attacks on bodily autonomy.

Massive SNAP cuts. Rising gas prices. Higher utility bills. Arizona families are getting hit from every angle thanks to Trump’s anti-working class agenda. https://www.azfamily.com/2026/04/08/arizona-food-banks-feeling-pressure-snap-changes-gas-prices-drive-demand/

The fossil fuel industry is probably the biggest fraud apparatus in the history of mankind. It should be joyous to take that machine down. #EEODayRI

NEW: Since Donald Trump waged war on Iran, Americans have paid over $8 BILLION MORE for gas.

Congress must return to Washington immediately, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein this dictatorial President in and be the coequal branch of government our founders intended us to be.

While our nation watches to see if this ceasefire deal holds in the wake of his deranged rhetoric, including a threat to destroy an entire civilization, this chaos cannot be excused.

Before Donald Trump launched this unnecessary and costly war, the Strait of Hormuz was open, gas was $1 less and 13 more American servicemembers were alive. Only someone as deeply incompetent, delusional and unfit as Trump would see this as “winning.”

As we see these incredible images of our planet from Artemis II, I want to give a special shoutout to the Michigan engineers and workers who built the Space Launch System. Everyone from the suppliers to Christina Koch, you make Michigan proud! www.detroitnews.com/story/news/n...

Iran still has 50% of their missile capacity. They still have enriched uranium. And they still control the Strait of Hormuz. The President had no credible strategy going into this war, and it's clear he still doesn't have one to accomplish the goals he set out.

Yesterday, I met with local leaders and partners in Damascus to get an update on the restoration of the Creeper Trail. I was proud to help secure over $240 million in funding to rebuild the trail after Hurricane Helene. Glad we are making progress to fully reopen this critical economic engine!

The world now has to pay Iran a fee for every barrel of oil leaving the Middle East. This was not the case before Donald Trump’s warmongering. And it would not be the case today if Donald Trump had chosen diplomacy over war.

This is a huge win for the next generation of Arizona innovators and workers. Arizona is putting ourselves on the map as a global leader in advanced manufacturing, and new investments from ASU will help us continue creating great-paying jobs right here at home.

Because of Donald Trump’s warmongering 13 Americans have lost their lives. Billions of your taxpayer dollars have been spent on bullets and bombs instead of health care for Americans. And there is STILL no guarantee that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon in the future.

While Nevada families worry about how they’ll afford gas for their car, health insurance, and groceries, Trump’s focused on building a $400 million ballroom and a gold arch honoring himself.

Excited to announce funding for the Windham Region Chamber of Commerce Foundation for services that benefit the wellbeing of veterans. Our nation’s veterans deserve the best we have to offer—& this funding will ensure they receive the support they deserve.

It’s corrupt and gross – a handful of traders seem to be raking in millions of dollars using insider information from the Trump admin. This week, I’m breaking down what’s going on here and what we should do about it.

I'll always fight for an economy that lowers costs, strengthens America’s energy security, and puts the financial stability of Delaware families ahead of Trump’s chaotic agenda.

Miners risk their health to power our communities. I was glad to host an event in St. Paul yesterday with miners, retirees, and other stakeholders to discuss how to improve access to benefits and expand treatment for miners with black lung disease.

We are living through a fundamental shift in global politics. The anxiety Americans feel is a symptom of a country that senses its own fragility—both at home and abroad—and we need to chart a way forward that is grounded in reality. 1/2

Gas prices keep rising with no signs of stopping. How much more financial pain is Trump going to force on working families because of his war of choice?

We have the numbers to prove it. This regime cares more about funneling BILLIONS of YOUR taxpayer dollars into an unauthorized war than they do about taking care of our veterans or your ability to afford health care, groceries, energy, or housing. It's diabolical.

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos shouldn't be paying the same amount in Social Security tax as someone making $175,000 a year. Billionaires are not paying their fair share.

NIH research has supported nearly every new drug in the past decade, but President Trump wants to cut its budget by $5 billion next year. The President’s cuts will take cures away from patients and hope away from families.

Americans want stability. Lower gas prices. Cheaper grocery bills. Not more chaos. Congress needs to be briefed immediately. We should vote again on a war powers resolution to prevent further escalation and end this illegal war. (3/3)

It is unclear whether this ceasefire delivers the President’s primary objectives, or rather just guarantees increased inflation, higher prices on pretty much everything, and continuing chaos. If your head is spinning, you’re not alone. (2/3)

President Trump relented in his threat to wipe out Iranian civilization less than two hours before his deadline, after terrorizing the world for 48 hours. (1/3)

Trump is a military moron. His war, with a price tag of $44 billion and $4+ gas, made us worse off today than we were when he started it. And if he restarts this war we will be in even worse shape. We must pass our War Powers Resolution to end this war for good.
- CC
If reports are true, it seems that under this deal, Iran will still maintain control of the Strait, a worse situation than before Trump began this war of choice.
- CC
As we wait to hear more about the ceasefire, one thing is clear: just like every time Trump negotiates, he made horrific and unbelievable threats, backtracked, and ultimately harmed American credibility to secure a deal that leaves our nation worse off.
- CC
I’m relieved to see that the president has backed down on his threat to commit war crimes in Iran.
- TB
Diplomacy has always been the answer, which is why the President shouldn’t have gotten us into this war of choice. It’s been reckless, cost U.S. soldiers their lives, and is raising prices on families. A ceasefire is a start, but Congress needs to do our jobs and end this war.
- RB
All for a war that Trump cannot even begin to explain & that has achieved none of his constantly shifting & contradictory objectives. A ceasefire for the American people is no victory.
- RB
A ceasefire is good news—only because this purposeless war should be ended as soon as possible. The best time to cease fire was before the war began, & before Trump wasted tens of billions, cost thousands of lives, triggered global economic & energy crisis.
- MH
It's a relief that President Trump agreed to a ceasefire rather than follow through on his unhinged threats, but let's be clear: Granite Staters and Americans want a permanent end to this illegal, dangerous, and costly war.

Earlier this year, @sanders.senate.gov and I secured $4.6 million in federal funding to help build Vermont’s largest dental clinic. I visited the future site in Colchester to celebrate this project that will go on to provide thousands of Vermonters with affordable, quality care.

A return to diplomatic regional discussions will save lives and dollars and protect America's long-term interests, while President Trump’s irresponsible words and actions undermine them. Congress must impose constraints on this President’s wrongheaded use of force.

Trump may have backed down for now, but he’s shown how unhinged he is by threatening the death of a “whole civilization.” I’m heading back to DC to try and get answers for the American people. Congress needs to return to the Capitol immediately and vote to end this war.
