The President and his family don’t even try to hide their corruption. Last year alone, they made at least $1.4 billion through backroom deals and legal threats. And the American people are fed up.

While Americans are worried about health care and rising costs, the president is focused on building a $400 million ballroom. That says everything about his priorities — and they’re not the American people.

Seeing this news is absolutely heartbreaking. No parent or family should have to experience this kind of loss, and no child should fear or face this kind of violence. As a father, this is gut-wrenching.

Congress has the tools to lower costs, rein in Pres. Trump’s cost-raising policies, & help working families get ahead. Republicans just need to join Democrats & the majority of Americans who are calling for immediate action to bring down prices & boost our economy.

RIers are hurting from Trump’s irresponsible policies. So I’ve teamed up w/ colleagues on the Tariff Refunds for Working Families Act & @whitehouse.senate.gov’s Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act to redirect $ consumers are losing from Trump’s wars right back into the pockets of hardworking Americans.

Between Pres. Trump’s global trade war & his war in Iran, American consumers & businesses are dealing with higher costs & heavier financial burdens. At the same time, jobs are being lost by the millions & opportunity is sinking. I’m working to undo Trump’s damage.

It’s becoming far too common for corporate landlords to buy up single-family homes by the thousands, pricing out hardworking people from owning a home. We’ve got to crack down on these predatory practices and build more housing.

Over 30 years ago we lost 168 men, women, and children in one of the worst acts of domestic terrorism we’ve ever seen. Thinking of Oklahoma City today and the resilience they’ve shown in the decades since.

Not a surprise if you’ve been listening. People are livid. They’ve seen a war in their name and at their expense, but without their approval. It’s time to end it.

Economist and anti-corruption advocate Dr. Gubad Ibadoghlu, who has ties to Virginia, has been unjustly detained in Azerbaijan for 1,000 days. No one should be imprisoned for speaking out against corruption. Azerbaijan must uphold human rights and due process.

Violent antisemitic attacks are rising at an alarming rate and threatening Jewish communities in the U.S. and around the world. These instances of vile hate and violence against Jews are disgusting and horrifying, and we all have a responsibility to make sure this bigotry is never normalized. 🧵

Israeli Defense Minister Katz said he wants to do in Lebanon what was done in Rafah. I've seen firsthand how the Netanyahu government razed Rafah to the ground. No American taxpayer dollars should be used to support this.

Kash Patel was never fit to lead the men and women of the FBI. He’s abused his power for personal gain while using the agency to do Donald Trump’s bidding. He should step down immediately.

The President claimed his illegal tariffs were put in place to protect American businesses—but ask anyone on Main Street and they’ll tell you the exact opposite is true. Small businesses have been crushed under the weight of President Trump's illegal tariffs—costing them billions.

Every week, someone is dying in ICE custody. Republicans want to use the reconciliation process to give ICE a blank check to continue Trump’s cruel mass deportation policies. I say we should negotiate basic reforms to these inhumane conditions instead.
