Let’s hear from President Trump about what kind of president would start a war with Iran.

Americans don’t want another forever war. They want affordable health care. They want to feel safe in their communities. They want lower prices. Like you promised.

@raskin.house.gov, @blumenthal.senate.gov, and I are continuing to demand answers — including the role Trump fixer Boris Epshteyn played in brokering these corrupt bargains.

Top law firms are still providing free legal services at Trump's bidding, even though doing so may be a clear violation of the law. Just one day after the administration said it would abandon its defense of its attacks on law firms, they unsurprisingly reversed course. 🧵

The same administration that removed historical testaments to Jackie Robinson and the Navajo Code Talkers has no problem with this new banner. We have entered a dangerous new period of censorship and propaganda.

We must address this insidious threat. Last week, I led calls to the CFTC urging the agency to uphold the law and halt these contracts. If the CFTC won’t act, Congress must. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/24/s...

Gambling on war and death doesn’t just present national security risks, it also raises serious concerns about potential insider trading — presenting unscrupulous government officials with a chance to profit off the new war in Iran. These contracts are immoral. The CFTC can and must ban them.

Community colleges are sacred spaces where students come to learn and begin to build their futures. It was such a privilege to visit Allan Hancock Community College to speak with students and answer their questions.

Congress holds the power to declare war - not the President. I will be joining Senators Kaine, Paul and Schumer in forcing a vote on our war powers resolution to make it clear: Congress has not authorized this use of our military.

Donald Trump has not made the case to the American people for his new war. There was no imminent threat to the country that justified putting our troops at risk. I'll be helping force a debate and vote in the Senate that would end it.

My thoughts are with the families of these servicemembers, and their loved ones. And I continue to pray for the safety of every servicemember and the recovery of those wounded in these operations. May God protect our troops.

Americans do not want another forever war in the Middle East. Congress must return to DC immediately to reassert its war powers.

Congress should immediately return to vote on the Kaine Paul Schiff Schumer War Powers Resolution.

Trump is drawing our country into yet another foreign war that Americans don’t want and Congress has not authorized. The Iranian regime is a brutal and murderous dictatorship. But that does not give Trump the authority to unilaterally initiate a war of choice.

Big corporate landlords, including private equity & Wall Street firms, have driven up housing costs across the country. I'm proud to join @warren.senate.gov in a bill to end tax benefits for major corporate landlords & reinvest those tax savings to help people afford homes.

Donald Trump has once again deployed massive amounts of American firepower abroad without Congressional approval to use military force. And behind closed doors, our nation's military leaders are raising the alarm about the risks to U.S. troops during a potential attack on Iran... (cont.)⬇️

Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are spending more than $144 million on guns, ammo, and “less lethal” accessories for ICE and CBP. We went through the contracts to expose this taxpayer-funded arsenal. Here's what we found: youtu.be/0M5t3tled9o

If the Trump administration won’t push corporations to be honest about their environmental impacts, then Congress must do so. I’m introducing a bill to ensure the EPA prioritizes transparency and accountability when it comes to corporate polluters.

Over the course of the first year of his second term, Trump has broken every promise he made to the American people. Proud to join @moveon.org and @meidastouch.com in holding him accountable.

Trump's State of the Union was long, rambling, and filled with falsehoods. Let's break down some of his most egregious lies and insane claims from the nearly 2-hour-long speech. youtu.be/hM5oWpjJsVE

Last week, the Supreme Court ruled Donald Trump illegally taxed Americans to the tune of $175 billion. I’m cosponsoring @wyden.senate.gov’s legislation to require that Trump refund those tariffs. Mr. President, give American consumers and small businesses back the money that you owe them.

From betting space missions will explode to predicting a Ukrainian town would be captured by the Russians — betting on death is dangerous and flat out wrong. I'm calling on the CFTC Chair to commit to follow the law and explicitly prohibit gambling on people's lives.

I'll continue to do everything I can to keep up the pressure on the administration to aid and assist our Ukrainian ally, and call on Putin to end his war of aggression.

In the four years since Russia’s brutal invasion, the Ukrainian people have shown great courage and ingenuity as they’ve resisted Putin’s aggression. The American people stand with Ukraine in their fight for sovereignty and territorial integrity. 🧵

More insidious propaganda befitting a tin pot dictator, this time hanging from the Department of Justice. Making clear to all, there is not justice left in the department, only Trump’s personal retribution.

The Supreme Court just said the President illegally bypassed Congress to tax your groceries, housing, medicine, and more with widespread tariffs. Trump's response? He will find a new way to end run the Congress and tax the American consumer. We won’t let him.

The Trump administration is trying to reopen a shuttered correctional facility in Dublin, California notorious for its decrepit conditions and history of inmate sexual abuse. Its proposed new tenant? ICE. I’m leading the fight in Congress to oppose this dangerous move.

The vast majority of prediction markets are indistinguishable from sports gambling. Despite being offered in violation of state law and tribal sovereignty, the CFTC is greenlighting them. @cortezmasto.senate.gov and I are demanding the CFTC reverse course. www.wired.com/story/senato...

Cyberattacks on our water systems put the basic needs of millions at risk, and we're seeing increasing concern that they have become a weapon of choice for ransomware attacks. I'm working on legislation to improve the tools municipalities have to keep hackers out of our water supply.
