Big Oil is using Trump's war to drive up prices and rake in record profits. In just the first three months of 2026, BP made $3,200,000,000. That’s over $266 million per week. $34 million per day. $402 per *second.* My Windfall Profits Bill would return those profits to you.

60 days into the Iran War and the American public is paying an increasing price. 13 service members have lost their lives with hundreds more wounded, while at home families face spiking energy prices and inflation as they foot the bill for this reckless war.

We’re in an affordability crisis, and this Administration is too busy enriching themselves and giving tax breaks to rich people who don’t need it. I’m fighting to put money back in YOUR pocket with my Working Americans Tax Cut Act.

As the proud son of an SEIU steward and NEA teacher, I firmly believe we must protect all workers’ right to bargain for fair wages, better benefits, and safe workplaces. This International Workers’ Day, and every day, I’m proud to stand with Michigan workers!

“There’s no worse nightmare for any family than having a loved one who’s sick, but who cannot get the health care they need,” Sen. Ossoff said. “That’s why I brought Republicans and Democrats together to strengthen health care services for Georgia families.” www.wrganews.com/2026/04/29/a...

There’s no pause button in the Constitution, or the War Powers Act. We’re at war. We’ve been at war for 60 days. The blockade alone is a continuing act of war. Failing to seek congressional approval, Trump is breaking the law & betraying Americans.

House Republicans have finally voted to end the DHS shutdown. Now, it’s time to put common sense guardrails on ICE and CBP.

Ahead of Trump's summit with Xi this month, I'm proud to lead Democrats and Republicans in sending a clear, unified message: The Chinese government is our adversary. Don't sell our country out at the negotiating table.

This is a good first step, and I'm pleased to see the Senate take bipartisan action that impacts the Senate. Now we need to pass a wider-reaching law, with teeth, to ensure ALL Members of Congress, their staff, and Executive branch officials are banned from insider trading on prediction markets.

It’s our duty to support caregivers for people with disabilities—no family should be punished for sharing their home and providing care to vulnerable loved ones. The Trump-Vance Administration should reverse this plan.

We can afford to end hunger in this country. We know how to do it. We could get it done now. Our leaders are choosing not to.

Gas prices are NOT coming down. They are going UP. And everyone in America knows that Donald Trump and Republicans are to blame. There's not a lot that's worse for the American economy than a Republican President and a Republican Congress.

Trump promised the war against Iran would be over “very quickly.” It’s clear that wasn’t true, and I have serious questions about the plan going forward. Pete Hegseth’s response? Making up ridiculous new claims on the spot. youtube.com/shorts/j0XZk...

Fuel costs are skyrocketing because of Trump's illegal war in Iran. This week, I sat down with Kaua'i Island Utility Cooperative to discuss how to counteract these rising fuel costs while continuing to increase the use of more affordable, reliable, renewable power in our state.

That makes two Republicans who have found the backbone to vote against Trump’s illegal, unnecessary and expensive war on Iran. After 60 days, Trump has managed to waste lives, billions of dollars, and send gas prices through the roof. To the other Republican Senators, this is now your war, too.

Michigan has watched as thousands of manufacturing jobs moved offshore to China. That's because the Chinese Communist Party is subsidizing its products, flooding the market and creating a monopoly. We can never let that happen to Michigan's auto industry and our workers.

I've been saying it for months: Casey Means did not have the qualifications to be our nation’s Surgeon General. We need our nation’s public health leaders to believe in science — not work to subvert public health programs, sow vaccine distrust, or push a corrupt agenda.

Illinois holds a special place in union history. From the Haymarket Riot to the Pullman Strike, workers in our state have given their lives to protect employees’ basic dignities. On May Day, we recognize their contributions to a more equal, prosperous, and democratic America.

Today, after 75 days, Republicans finally passed the same DHS funding bill they could have passed back in February — a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, & the Coast Guard without giving a penny to Trump’s lawless ICE & CBP. 75 days of pure political theater. Total incompetence.

These public servants never should have faced retaliation for raising the alarm and trying to keep us safe. I’ve called for these whistleblowers to be reinstated and applaud their bravery and dedication in the face of attacks from this administration. 1/2

Working families are under so much economic pressure, and we need to be offering solutions that hold down the prices of electricity. Instead, this administration is spending taxpayer dollars blocking new energy projects that would lower costs for Americans.

As Trump ramps up his threats of war against Cuba, we must understand what led us to this point: 65 years of a bankrupt Cuba policy. If we want to avoid war with Cuba, we must rein in this lawless President & learn from the failed, bipartisan policies that led us to this point.

Colorado fought hard to get clean air. It lets us enjoy our beautiful landscapes without haze and pollution. This administration wants to take that away. We forced every Senator to go on record yesterday on whether they support this thoughtless decision.

I asked Secretary Hegseth if he would deploy the uniform military to our polls to collect voter rolls or machines. It wasn’t a hypothetical question, it was based on an executive order President Trump drafted but didn’t sign in 2020. He refused to answer. youtube.com/shorts/NhOsz...

After two months of Trump’s dangerous Iran war and attacks landing close to nuclear reactors, the world must stop building nuclear power plants in war zones. The Senate should pass my bill with @merkley.senate.gov to reduce the risk of nuclear catastrophes.

Americans are paying the price of a war they never wanted and have gained nothing from. After 60 days of war, the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, gas prices are sky high, & our military has suffered significant costs. Pres. Trump owes the American people answers & a plan.

It's a good day when the Senate rejects at least one junk science charlatan. Good riddance to Casey Means, RFK Jr. is doing enough damage on his own. I'll keep pushing for his removal to protect science and common sense in our government.

Throughout our hearing, Secretary Hegseth expected the American people to just pretend like they don't know that there's a problem with the war in Iran. Meanwhile, gas is $4.99 a gallon. The American people aren’t stupid.

As a Pitt fan, I'm glad to see him use his platform as Dr. Langdon to speak out. Student debt is crushing people whose only sin was advancing their education. The system is broken—and the Trump admin has made it worse by jacking up loan payments by hundreds of dollars a month.
