The Trump family has been treating the Middle East like a personal ATM, doing shady deals with sheikhs. Meanwhile, Trump’s Middle East policy is a disaster for American national security. The Trumps get even richer. America is less safe.

I am so grateful to our fire crews and first responders who are saving lives, including our WA National Guard, servicemembers from Fairchild, and the many individuals coming from out of state to fight these fires.
- PM
Already, the devastation we are seeing is heartbreaking, and it will be a long road to recovery. Right now, EVERYONE needs to listen carefully to local officials.
- PM
He made clear the federal government will do everything it can to support response and recovery—that is my top priority right now and I deeply appreciate that commitment.

I just called Secretary Mullin to discuss the wildfires in Spokane. We had a good conversation, and he is closely tracking the situation in the Spokane region.

As governor of Colorado, we created the gold-standard mail-in voting system in the country. Now, red states and blue states alike use it because it’s safe and secure. Trump is attacking mail-in voting and is obsessed with the SAVE America Act because he wants to make it harder for YOU to vote.

The cost of everything is skyrocketing, we are in an illegal war of choice in Iran, and working families are struggling to get by—this is Trump’s “golden age of America”

Farmers are already being squeezed by higher costs for fuel, fertilizer, and equipment. Now many are seeing their health insurance premiums double. I put forward a plan to lower health insurance premiums and reduce health care costs for Minnesota families and farmers. We need action.

From the first pitch in the spring to the final game in October, the Dodgers once again made us believe. And it wasn’t just this season, it was also the one before that — they're champions in every sense of the word.

Rodney, a double amputee, was forced to drag himself across the bathroom floor in ICE detention just to take a shower. Reasonable accommodations are a human right. Trump shouldn't get to choose where to draw that line.

New Hampshire's natural beauty attracts visitors from around the world, supports local businesses, and gives families a place to enjoy the outdoors. Congrats to the @appmtnclub.bsky.social on 150 years of protecting and expanding access to the sites that make New Hampshire the most beautiful state

The entire goal of the SAVE Act is to put a mountain of paperwork between you and the ballot box. They want to suppress the vote with bureaucracy.

That's why I’ve worked with Council Member Vetaw to secure federal funding to address the three at-grade rail crossings and make this area safer for everyone.
- AK
When Minneapolis Council Member LaTrisha Vetaw and I saw each other at a Prince celebration (where all good things happen), we ended up talking about how we could make the Camden railroad crossing safer. Frequent train blockages delay first responders, drivers, and pedestrians trying to get across.

Trump said he'd lower costs. New Mexico families have spent an extra $2,800 since he took office.

Why is child care so expensive when our child care workers are paid so little?

Parents face incredible anxiety when it comes to caring for their kids. MediKids is the guarantee I think our country needs.

Ohio voters could change the direction of the entire country in November. That starts with electing Democrats up and down the ballot — including fighters like Sherrod Brown and Amy Acton! I can tell Ohio Democrats are ready to win, and I’m going to do everything I can to help them.

I am monitoring the dangerous fires in Spokane and across Central Washington. My office and I are in contact with local, state, and federal agencies to help make sure firefighters and first responders have the resources they need. (1/2)

Our legislation will crack down on companies that mislead the public on their reporting of recycled plastic content.
- AS
Implementing a reliable process of tracking recycled materials will provide Americans with accurate information on plastics used in the products they’re buying. Consumers deserve the truth when making choices among competing products.

I know I'm not the only one who feels incredible anxiety about the cost of healthcare. That's why I introduced MediKids.

THANK YOU to our brave firefighters and first responders. I will make certain Spokane has every resource it needs to fight these fires and recover

But we can’t take that leadership for granted. We need to expand our health care workforce and keep building the future of medicine here in Minnesota.
- AK
Minnesota does big things – and nowhere is that more true than in medicine. We are home to leading hospitals, world-class research universities, and one of the largest medical technology hubs in the world.

Like we saw just recently at our airport in Las Vegas, these misguided ICE operations instill fear, hurt our tourism industry, and don't make our communities any safer.
- JR
ICE is going after law-abiding people in airports, including those with pending green card and visa extension applications. Many of these individuals are following all of the rules, but government processing delays are causing lapses in their status.

Trump is making Americans less safe with his war in Iran. Hundreds of servicemembers injured, 18 dead, skyrocketing prices—now cyberattacks on the Homeland. The GOP needs to stand up to this lunacy and work with us to end this dangerous and unnecessary war. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

We owe it to the families of the firefighters who lost their lives battling wildfires to conduct an investigation and get answers. With wildfires still raging across Colorado, we can't afford to wait months to learn lessons that could save lives right now. www.cpr.org/2026/07/30/f...

Moving here with my wife, Susan, and raising our daughters in Colorado was the best decision I've ever made. Today, I encourage Coloradans from every corner of our state to get outside and enjoy everything it has to offer.
- MB
Happy 150th birthday, Colorado! Let's celebrate everything that makes this state the best in America: our mountains, our public lands, and the Coloradans who call it home.

I fought to lower prescription drug costs as your Senator, and I’ll build on that work as your Governor by expanding state bulk purchasing of drugs and prioritizing lower-cost generics and biosimilars.
- AK
Americans know that the cost of prescription drugs is too high. This week the Trump administration said it is cutting Medicare Part D, further increasing costs for seniors.

Trump is torching his own AG nominee so he can preserve his sweetheart tax deal that gives his family a blank check to commit tax fraud. This President is banking billions by abusing his power. Now he’s doing everything possible to make sure he’ll never be held accountable.

Trump & Republicans' SNAP cuts have now taken food away from nearly 12,000 Maryland families with children & 36,000 Marylanders overall. They made it harder for thousands of Marylanders to put food on the table all to give billionaires & big corporations another tax cut. Shameful.

Private equity going after fire trucks makes YOUR neighborhood less safe. Not on my watch. I've got a bipartisan resolution calling on the FTC to investigate. We can't let Wall Street put public safety at risk.

Know of BLM-managed lands with limited or no public access? I passed the HUNT Act to give you a voice in improving access to public lands for hunting, fishing, and other recreation. Thanks to that law, you can nominate a parcel of land for their priority list here.

Then you’d better stand by your CBAM against Trump’s corrupt fossil-fuel-funded attacks! Every remaining pathway to climate safety requires ending fossil fuel’s crooked free-to-pollute business model. CBAM is the best vehicle for that — it’s truly our last lifeboat. www.politico.eu/article/spai...

The Mississippi River is vital for our Wisconsin way of life—but communities along the river are facing frequent flooding and worsening pollution. My bill would address these issues head-on and protect the Mighty Mississippi for generations to come.
