American small businesses and families are feeling real pain from Trump’s affordability crisis. I’m demanding transparency from this administration on the economic impact of Trump’s illegal war on Iran.

The "woke" research grants RFK Jr. cut at NIH? Millions of dollars to research maternal health, vaccines, Alzheimer's, and cancer. How is researching cancer woke? No one voted for this.

The president calls affordability a hoax. Over 90% of Americans call it a crisis. Trump’s tariffs, health care cuts, and unwanted war have created a cost-of-living emergency. Across this country, working families are struggling to make ends meet. We won't stop fighting for you.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is ready for launch! Once operational it will help us see further into the depths of our universe than ever before. This revolutionary telescope was assembled by the team at NASA Goddard, right here in MD, ahead of schedule & under budget.

Buying a home is out of reach for far too many Nevadans, and it doesn’t have to be this way. I’m working to address the housing crisis by making it easier to build more housing that families can afford and cracking down on bad actor corporate investors who buy up housing and jack up costs.

RFK Jr. must communicate his support for the vaccine to the American people, and put a stop to the misinformation and fear he's caused for parents across the country.
- MB
Yesterday I got RFK Jr. to publicly admit that vaccines are safe and vital to protecting children’s health. This new-found position comes after years of anti-vaccine rhetoric.

Iranians residing in the U.S. who can't return home safely must be protected—not forcibly removed. Trump’s war and Iran's already dire human rights crisis make it unsafe for Iranians abroad to go home. The admin must shield Iranians in our communities and pause deportations while the war continues.

Thank you to everyone who joined me and @duckworth.senate.gov for constituent coffee today. This is one of my favorite traditions in the Senate, and I am grateful to all who took the time out of their day to come visit us.

There are plenty of nations impacted by Trump's war in Iran who we're closer to than the UAE, and plenty of countries who've been hit harder. So why—other than massive financial ties to Trump's family businesses—are we considering using your tax dollars to bail out the Emiratis?

Americans will be paying for Trump’s Iran chaos at the gas pump for months. He's driving up prices and jeopardizing our national security.

Early this morning, Republicans used their Senate majority to force through a budget bill that gives $70 billion to ICE. Instead of focusing on lowering costs, they’re pouring taxpayer dollars into an agency that has brutalized, dehumanized, and killed Americans in our streets.

This President has repeatedly kicked our allies in the teeth and cozied up to our adversaries. This has real consequences for states like Michigan, especially when it comes to our relationship with Canada.

It's great to see New Hampshire's own Cove Fine Jewelry be selected by America250 to debut a limited-edition collection honoring our nation's 250th anniversary. NH has a deep-seated history in the story of American democracy, and I know Alyson and her team will make us proud!

Most importantly, workers and communities who would be affected will continue to use their voices to demand more from their representatives than silence and surrender.

This merger is far from a done deal—federal and international regulators still need to sign off, state attorneys general have to review, and those of us in the Senate who want to protect Americans from the crush of corporate consolidation will continue to press for answers.

I’ll continue fighting like hell to sound the alarm and throw up roadblocks. But if the thought of the Trump administration having these powers scares you, now’s the time to make your voice heard.
- RW
The deadline to renew the law is coming up next week. Trump needs both Republicans AND Democrats to vote to reauthorize this law. Anyone with a pulse ought to see that in no world should Trump and Kash Patel have these powers.
- RW
But rubber-stamping these powers for Donald Trump poses a unique and chilling threat to Americans’ most basic constitutional rights.

702 abuses span across administrations and political spectrums. I’ve fought for reforms to Section 702 of FISA during every administration. This isn’t a red issue or a blue issue – it’s a civil liberties issue. Security and liberty aren’t mutually exclusive.
- RW
Also in 2024, Congress expanded the range of who can be forced to comply with Section 702 surveillance orders. Your cable guy could be forced to install spyware on behalf of the government and help them surveil you.
- RW
Stephen Miller is behind the Trump administration’s push to reauthorize 702. They have already designated “Antifa” organizations as foreign terrorist groups. It’s likely Miller will use 702 to surveil, target, and suppress activists on the left.
- RW
In 2024, Congress expanded Section 702 to cover “illicit synthetic drugs.” I fear the Trump administration could target women living in states with abortion restrictions that get abortion medications from overseas providers.
- RW
Here’s how I’m concerned the Trump administration could use it in the future if Congress reauthorizes it:
- RW
Those are the ways in which we KNOW this law has been abused. The takeaway here is that NO ONE’S personal information or communications are safe.
- RW
The Trump administration has more than tripled the number of warrantless searches of political and religious figures and journalists. There were 227 of these searches in 2024. There were 839 in 2025.

In 2022, the Biden administration used it to spy on a state court judge who reported police abuses to the FBI.
- RW
In 2019, Trump used this law to spy on members of Congress.
- RW
In 2022, an NSA employee used the 702 database to stalk women he met on dating apps.
- RW
Also in 2021, the Biden administration used it to spy on 19,000 donors to a political campaign.
- RW
In 2021, the Biden administration used 702 to search the communications of multiple government officials, journalists and political commentators.
- RW
In 2020 Trump used 702 to spy on Black Lives Matter protestors.
- RW
The NSA and FBI have been spying on you without a warrant using section 702 of FISA for decades. Trump wants Congress to renew the law. Here are concrete examples of how this law has been abused – across administrations – and why Congress shouldn't rubber-stamp it.

It is simple: Trump got us into another forever war and cut taxes for billionaires and his cronies. Democrats are focused on lowering prices for American families. Voters know it.

When people stand up and use their voice to protect the right to abortion, they win. Glad the people of Idaho are working to stop Republican politicians from controlling women and to protect the right to essential reproductive health care.

Gas prices in New Mexico are up 35% since the start of Trump’s illegal war with Iran. That’s nearly $4 a gallon. Hardworking families did not ask for this war, and they certainly did not vote for fuel prices to skyrocket.

I've gotten more information from Ikea instructions than USDA has put out on its planned U.S. Forest Service reorganization. That's a problem.

In the middle of the night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE billions to continue the President’s mass deportation campaign. When families are struggling to afford gas, groceries, & more, Senate Republicans proved they care more about President Trump’s wishes than the needs of Americans.
