Trump and MAGA Republicans are ignoring the cost-of-living emergency that’s hurting American families.

Senate Republicans just moved forward with nearly 50 nominees without consent or agreement from Democrats. They’re rushing them through because they’re unqualified. Shameful.

$1.2 TRILLION could undo almost all of Trump’s Medicaid & SNAP cuts. Instead, Trump wants to build his unworkable 'Golden Dome' scheme. This is nothing more than a gift to the military industrial complex, but they know they can sell anything to Trump if they call it “golden.”

American taxpayer funds are directly supporting foreign military units that are alleged to have committed abhorrent acts of sexual violence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbshgtRq3ao

Great meeting with our 2026 Spring Senate Page, David, to hear about his experience serving in the U.S. Senate. David’s dedication to leadership and public service is inspiring. With young leaders like him stepping up to serve, Maryland’s future looks bright.

I worked with Willmar Mayor Doug Reese and local officials to deliver federal funding for an overpass to make County Road 55 in Kandiyohi County safer. Now it's getting built — and will be finished later this year. www.wctrib.com/news/local/c...

Trump's HUD Secretary sat in front of me defending Trump's $1.5 TRILLION war budget—a budget that gives more money for war and CUTS funding for housing. Instead of giving Pete Hegseth HALF A TRILLION dollars, we could build at least 1 million new homes in America.

It wasn’t so long ago that a nationwide outage at a major network provider threw millions of Americans into chaos and uncertainty. That should never happen, and when it does, customers deserve compensation. (1/2)

Today, I offered an amendment that would have shut this scam down. My amendment would've prevented self-dealing by public officials — including the President & members of Congress — who own or promote digital asset companies, including crypto. Every Republican voted against it.

“Smart” glasses—dangerously dumb idea. DHS’s troubling record of using surveillance to silence protesters & target communities makes clear what this proposal really is: a tool for unchecked, wearable surveillance. DHS must immediately reverse course on this dystopian technology.

Small business owners are getting hit from all sides as tariffs and Trump's reckless decisions are driving up costs. I came to Chilte in Phoenix to listen to business leaders about what they need. Small businesses are the backbone of this economy. I'll always fight for them.

Every day, consumers get unfairly overcharged by big financial companies that use deceptive & abusive practices to scam the little guy. The CFPB was there to level the playing field, until Trump Admin effectively shut it down.

Trump’s war has cost the American taxpayer AT LEAST $29 billion. The war in Iran has cost Americans financially, causing inflation to spiral out of control, gas prices to skyrocket, and grocery costs to climb.

Data centers are eating up more and more of our electricity—and it’s causing chaos in the grid. Families shouldn’t have to worry if their bills are going to shoot up or if their power will shut off because a data center moves in next door. fortune.com/2026/05/12/l...

Trump’s moving forward with his plan to sell AI chips to Chinese companies linked to the Chinese military. Giving China access to this premier US technology is dangerous and threatens our lead in the AI race that will shape the global economy for decades.

Does it really inspire confidence in anyone that Trump often spends his time firing off dozens of conspiracy-related posts an hour in the middle of the night? Shouldn’t he be a little more focused on lowering costs? Ending the war?

The Trump Administration will finally release $47 of the $140 million that Congress already secured to address the Colorado River Crisis. As we face historic drought, I’ll keep demanding that Colorado receives every dollar we were promised, including for Shoshone.

I voted seven times to end Trump’s war with Iran. Senate Republicans blocked it every single time. This war is raising prices at the gas pump and at the grocery store. The American people DO NOT support it. End the war now.

Washington Republicans have a choice: burn through $1 billion of your tax dollars to pay for another one of Donald Trump’s vanity projects, or help Americans who are struggling with rising costs. In their recently released budget bill, they’ve shown where their priorities.

In an incredible gift to Big Tobacco, Trump is allowing sales of e-cigs & nicotine pouches without FDA approval. They’re enabling dangerous products to be sold for years without review, a destructive corrupt loophole to the Tobacco Control Act.

How much is Trump's political theater at Guantanamo going to cost? $73 MILLION from taxpayers. That's what the Trump administration told me—up from previous estimates of $40 million. Talk about waste, fraud, and abuse.
