The Commander in Chief is downplaying the deaths of our heroes just days after three more were killed. Our Gold Star families deserve better.

Private prison companies are receiving billions of taxpayer dollars to carry out Trump’s cruel immigration agenda, and they're spending that money on employees who allegedly shot an American protestor. This system needs real reform and oversight.

Attending the Senate Commerce Committee today as they mark up and vote on my bill with Senator Bernie Moreno to ban Chinese vehicles in the United States. It has support from both parties, business and labor. This is an important first step; let's get it across the finish line.

If this merger goes through, CBS, CNN, TikTok, & more will all be controlled by Trump-megadonor Larry Ellison & his son, giving Trump & the billionaire class unprecedented control over what we see. Glad to see state attorneys general taking a stand for a free press & democracy.

Right now, I’m headed to the Senate Commerce Committee, which is taking up our bill to ban Chinese cars. These vehicles are a threat to our national security and economy, and today is an important step in getting my bipartisan bill with Senator Bernie Moreno passed into law. Let's get it done.

Secretary Hegseth said ships should be able to pass through the Strait of Hormuz freely and without tolls. Then Trump insisted the United States SHOULD charge a 20% toll for every ship passing through the strait. I asked him how he squared that contradiction. He couldn't.

That's why I'm joining my colleagues to urge FEMA to deliver the federal resources communities need to respond to and prevent devastating wildfires. Any delay in resources leaves us exposed, not just to the fires burning today, but to disasters ahead.

Colorado communities have watched wildfires grow faster and more destructive, and we know communities across the nation are facing that same threat.

Pete Hegseth is more focused on winning culture wars than combating real threats to our troops, and 18 American servicemembers are dead. Now he’s asking for $87 billion in supplemental funding when he has no plan for Iran and no answer on counter-drone defenses.

Festivals are meant to bring people together. As festival season continues, I want to remind everyone to stay alert, look out for one another & trust your instincts. If you notice something that doesn’t seem right or see someone who may need help, speak up and alert event staff or law enforcement.

It’s heartbreaking that, in such a short period of time, one young man has lost his life and another has sustained severe injuries in separate incidents at music festivals in our state. My heart goes out to their families, friends, and loved ones as they navigate the days ahead.

Trump continues to wage an endless war that is driving up costs at home and putting our service members in jeopardy. No plan, no strategy, and no endgame is unacceptable. The American people have had enough of this deadly chaos.

After spending BILLIONS on Trump's war of choice with Iran, the Pentagon says they're running out of funds... This is what happens when you start an illegal war without a sound strategy, authorization from Congress, and an exit plan.

Doug Mastriano has stated that the European Union is a "rising rival" to the U.S. comparable to China. He's now being nominated as ambassador to Slovakia—an EU nation.

This president says we can't afford health care. Can't afford child care. Can't afford housing. But somehow—we can always afford another war. No price tag on that. Absolutely not. I'm refusing to rubber-stamp Trump's outrageous request to bankroll his war with Iran.

Costs are up, chaos is up, and Minnesotans are paying the price. Donald Trump is more focused on building his ballroom than on helping Americans. I’m focused on lowering costs and getting things done.

President Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, he is weakening the energy efficiency standards and the tax cuts that help families keep their energy use and energy bills down. Americans deserve better than a President who makes life more expensive. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/21/c...

President Trump is weaponizing the government against his perceived enemies. That includes when he tried to jail and indict my colleagues and me over a 90-second video. And now it includes going after journalists and their families.

It is sickening that the President would downplay the loss of 18 American soldiers killed during his ongoing Iran war & brag about how it’s not AS bad as some of the other disastrous American wars he promised he'd never repeat.

If you're going to order our troops into war, you'd better have a damn good reason. Three servicemembers come home to Dover tomorrow. Their families will ask why. President Trump has no answer.

It's time for Congress to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to confront this disparity and end wage discrimination.

Equal pay for equal work shouldn't be a radical idea, but today Black women earn just 65 cents for every dollar paid to their white male counterparts. That pay gap follows women through their entire careers, and the lost income means a lack of financial security for their families too.

Today's hearing with Secretary Hegseth confirmed the Iran war is a war in search of a mission. Hegseth talks a lot about 'winning,' but given multiple chances to explain what winning means, the best he could do was rehash disproven talking points. This war must end, NOW.

The Trump administration wants unlimited money for bombs while working Americans can’t afford gas or groceries. It is indefensible. Trump's war first, America last.

We cannot move on from Trump’s threats to our elections. He laid it out in primetime last week: any election result he doesn’t like he will just call stolen. We must continue to speak up for our democracy.

The facts of this case remain the same. Mohsen is in this country legally. President Trump is trying to deport him because he doesn’t like that Mohsen non-violently advocated for peace in Gaza. It's a fundamental violation of free speech. It’s an attack on the Constitution.

When Secretary Hegseth came before the Senate today, I demanded he give me real answers on the cost of Trump’s war with Iran. As this war drags on into its 5th month, it’s becoming increasingly clear this Administration has no idea on how to bring it to a conclusion.

May 5th. That’s the last time Secretary Hegseth and General Caine gave a public briefing on the Iran War. Now they want Congress to write a blank check for nearly $100 billion. Why are they keeping the Americans in the dark, but wanting taxpayers to hand over billions for their illegal war?
