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...

At the Reflecting Pool, Trump’s crony capitalism & pay-to-play favoritism have desecrated an iconic national symbol & squandered taxpayer dollars.

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.

I introduced MediKids: legislation that would guarantee healthcare coverage for every American kid. Here's why.

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.

I want to guarantee healthcare coverage for every child in America. MediKids does that.

Corruption has real costs. Trump’s vanity project bills have ballooned & quality of work has cratered.

The biggest housing bill in 30 years is now law—and it includes my bipartisan bill with Senator Kevin Cramer to cut red tape, bring more landlords into the Housing Choice Voucher program, and help more Delaware families turn a voucher into a home.

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

The Supreme Court has become a rubber stamp for Trump and corporate interests. It desperately needs reform. I break down the 8 cases betraying the Court’s partisanship and bias for big money, and the reforms that would fix the Court. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzwp...

Today, Senate Republicans gave a lifetime judicial appointment to anti-abortion extremist Brandon Flowers. This man argued to revive an abortion ban that would go into effect before most women even KNOW they're pregnant. Remember this.

The average price of gas is once again over $4 a gallon. When you’re filling up at the pump, remember that you’re paying for the consequences of President Trump’s war.

Pete Hegseth is the least qualified Secretary of Defense we’ve ever had, and it makes our country less safe.

This Administration is failing our brave men and women in uniform. We need real leadership to end this war with Iran.

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.

I asked Secretary Hegseth: “At what point do you stop asking the American people to foot the bill for a war they don’t support?” He had no response.

I will continue fighting to make sure women are not shortchanged by a wage gap and that families are not forced to work even harder just make ends meet. (2/2)

We should not accept the fact that in this country women, especially Black women, earn less than men for doing the same work. I join my colleagues in shining the light on this inequity in order to push for a real solution to this problem. (1/2)

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?
- SW
Senator Moreno objected.

Dreamers make America great, and it has been my honor to fight to give them a pathway to citizenship. Today, I joined my House colleagues to officially announce the bipartisan discharge petition for the American Dream and Promise Act. No more delays. No more waiting. Dreamers need protections now.

Trump will do just about anything except lower costs for Americans. His reckless proposal to slap 50% tariffs on Canadian goods would raise prices on families and small businesses already shouldering the burden of this administration’s chaotic policies.

103 years ago, the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced to guarantee equality under the law regardless of sex. In 2020, Virginia became the 38th and final state to approve it. Congress must vote to remove the time limit for ratification so the ERA can finally become the 28th Amendment.

The National Academies have been producing valuable scientific research since the 1860s. Trump wants to bury them because their climate crisis research makes it harder for his fossil fuel buddies to win in court. Trying to defund them opens up yet another front in his attacks on American scientists.

So letting ICE investigate itself? Americans deserve real accountability, not another cover up from this Administration.

The Trump admin WITHHELD that nearly 100 U.S. troops were injured by Iran in the past 2 weeks. 400+ Americans have been injured. 18 service members have been killed. It's a tremendous sacrifice. But Trump can't even explain how America is better off or how his war will end.

Last year, I forced a vote to block Trump from taking a single cent of taxpayer money to renovate his foreign-gifted luxury jet. Every single Republican voted to let Trump spend taxpayer $ on it. Now, taxpayers will foot a new bill to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars to “max” it out.

I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this simple truth: climate change portends a cascade of financial market collapses that would destabilize the national and global economies.

The costs of Trump's war have been astronomical. And what has it all been for? We hear a different rationale for this war every few days. Apparently, now it's to REOPEN the Strait of Hormuz that was ALREADY OPEN, toll-free, BEFORE this war. A total failure.

Students with disabilities deserve the same opportunities as kids without. I’m concerned about any plan that dismantles the Department of Education and undermines protections provided through IDEA for special education.

This week, I joined my colleagues in demanding accountability from DHS, calling for transparent investigations, and holding DHS to account for its failure to deploy body cameras. We cannot let this violence become normal.
- MB
Fatal shootings at the hands of DHS and ICE are inexcusable. Instead of making communities more safe, they have deepened fear in our communities and eroded trust in law enforcement.

Nothing says 'golden age' like gas over $4, endless foreign wars, skyrocketing costs, election denialism, and withholding millions of pages of the Epstein files.
