Trump doesn't care about the burdens he's imposing on Americans with his tariffs—but Democrats do. We will NOT extend the Trump tariffs once they expire in a few months. We'll do everything we can to stop them. We won't stand for higher prices and more inflation.

The SAVE Act is a dangerous move to keep Black and Brown voters, women, and LGBTQ+ people from the ballot box. Trump and MAGA Republicans know they have no solutions to the issues that Americans are angry about, so they plan to meddle with the 2026 election. I will vote NO.

I'm honored to deliver the annual reading of President George Washington’s Farewell Address tomorrow, and am interested in the likely contrast between Washington’s wise sentiments and the ones we’ll hear from President Trump during his State of the Union address. youtube.com/shorts/vSUzk...

Trump has spent the last year driving up prices, slashing health care, creating chaos in our communities, picking fights with other countries, and burying the Epstein files. The American people have had enough.

So the tariffs are illegal, as we’ve long known. Will Trump give the hundreds of billions back to the small businesses hurt by these tariffs? Or was this just another grift?

The numbers don't lie: Donald Trump robbed Americans families an average of $1,700 with his illegal tariff tax. It's time for Trump to pay up. He needs to tell the American people his plan to pay back the $1,700 in hard-earned money he stole from them. www.jec.senate.gov/public/index...

Nevada’s economy relies on international visitors, and when Las Vegas experiences huge declines in visitors thanks to Trump’s reckless actions, our hospitality workers and small businesses pay the price.

Trump’s tariffs were ruled illegal – and he’s still looking for new ways to bring them back and spike your costs. Even when the Supreme Court tries to intervene, he will stop at nothing to raise Americans’ prices.

Donald Trump and his Education Secretary are hellbent on illegally abolishing the Education Department and making our public education system worse. Students and families deserve better. We need a full investigation into this administration's attempts to sabotage our schools.

Section 702 is an important tool for keeping our nation safe from foreign threats. But it’s been used instead for warrantless spying on Americans. That’s unacceptable. We just introduced a bipartisan bill to reauthorize and reform it to protect national security AND civil liberties.

Critical minerals are the foundation of essential products and are used in everything from fighter jets to iPhones. It’s important that we work to bolster America’s domestic supply, and my SECURE Minerals Act would do just that ⬇️

The American people don’t want another war in the Middle East. I don’t either. Negotiation and diplomacy are how we stop Iran’s nuclear program, not a war that puts more American troops at risk. www.axios.com/2026/02/18/i...

If the Italy trip wasn’t personal travel… does that mean he’s partying with athletes on the taxpayer dime? Shouldn’t the Director of the FBI be a little more focused on urgent priorities, like sex trafficking or Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping?

This Administration has collected an estimated $175 billion in illegal tariffs. We’re fighting to get every penny back. Our bill requires a FULL refund with interest. It’s time to return this money to working Americans and small businesses.

The MAGA trifecta cover-up of report on Trump’s crimes: on one “side,” the MAGA DOJ; on the other “side,” defendant Donald J. Trump; presiding, a MAGA Trump judge. So much for the “adversary system.”

Republicans literally cut Medicaid so that giant corporations could pay less in taxes than a teacher or firefighter. That’s not fair, and it’s not fiscally responsible either. Our taxpayer dollars SHOULD be going toward things like health care—not tax breaks for billionaires.

Fire mismanagement is life-or-death and risks billions in taxpayer dollars. DOGE’s mismanagement has already cost thousands of jobs at the Bureau of Land Management. We need proof that consolidating federal firefighting won’t make Americans less safe.

The American people have foot the bill for President Trump’s trade war—and, while Secretary Bessent might not think so, they deserve a refund. I joined my colleagues in introducing a new bill to do just that. The President shouldn't stand in the way of refunds for everyday Americans.

Marylanders don't want Trump’s ICE on our streets or their facilities in our backyards. A few weeks ago, I joined hundreds in Washington Co to say that loud & clear. I'm glad to see @oagmaryland.bsky.social is acting to block ICE’s construction of a detention center in Washington County.

I’m proud to bring Dani Bensky, New Yorker and survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, as my guest to the State of the Union to demand the truth. Dani has turned unimaginable pain into unrelenting advocacy. Survivors deserve justice. Trump must end the cover-up and release the full Epstein files—NOW.

Today, I filed an amicus brief to combat Visa and Mastercard’s attempts to hollow out the Durbin Amendment, which prevents exorbitant debit interchange fees. Consumers deserve a debit card system that is affordable and fair, and we cannot allow Wall Street to add extra costs and line their pockets.

Making housing more affordable for working families means cutting red tape that slows down construction, cracking down on corporate landlords who jack up rent, and supporting policy that puts families first.

High housing costs hit everyone – renters, first-time buyers, and growing families who need a bigger home. But they hit working families hardest. Any solution worth pursuing has to start there.
