It's been 103 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump's illegal tariffs. He still has no plan to return the $1,700 he owes American families & now is trying to stiff businesses too. Trump stole this money from hardworking Americans & business owners. Release the money, NOW.

Tonight, I filed amendments to eliminate the "Anti-Weaponization Fund," block Donald Trump's corrupt DOJ settlement that shields him and his family from tax audits, and prevent any future administration from creating similar schemes.

Good — now let's pass it in the Senate and get this done.

Trump and Stephen Miller built up a paramilitary force at DHS that they essentially promised immunity, and set it loose on American communities. I'm not going to write a blank check for a federal agency that refuses to distinguish between American citizens and violent criminals.

The House, for the first time, voted to halt Trump’s illegal, reckless and expensive war in Iran. The Senate did the same two weeks ago, a vote I was proud to join. The dam is breaking. GOP support for the war is evaporating. Trump must end this war now.

Trump's illegal war has already cost 14 of our servicemembers' lives and nearly $30 billion. America has paid enough. No more. It's time to end the war.

Diabetes is the most expensive chronic condition to manage, and too many are struggling to afford the insulin they need. We must act now to cap insulin at just $35 a month to ease this burden for millions of families. My INSULIN Act would do just that.

Finally. Great to see the House stand up to Trump to put an end to his costly, illegal war in Iran. Now, it's time for the Senate to pass it, too.

NEW: Huge corporations that have been exposed for cheating Americans are buddying up to Trump’s advisors – and Trump's advisors are letting them off scot free. But if you’re an American who got cheated? You get nothing. America’s Corporate Protector is right.

Even when the fact-finding court made the exact finding that the Supreme Court said would toss a district map, the Supreme Court reversed, applying its highest principle: “whatever helps Republicans win is what we do.” They are now shameless.

Once again, Hegseth refuses to advance several eminently qualified women and people of color in the military. Instead, he is pushing a crony who has been passed over for promotion multiple times. Our military and our national security suffer from his special brand of malign incompetence.

Trump has said twice today that his $1.8 billion slush fund to pay off cop-beaters, campaign donors, and insurrectionists is still on the table, and I believe him. That’s why I’m introducing an amendment to the Republican spending bill to permanently ban it.

Trump lost the 2020 election, fair and square. This sends a clear and chilling message: if the President doesn’t get the results he wants, expect the full force of the federal government to get involved. This is not how democracy works, and we will not be intimidated.

The DOJ just permanently shielded Trump from IRS audits on returns already filed — for him, his family, and his businesses. Another day focused on protecting himself rather than the American people.

Trump's corrupt deal with his own Justice Department tries to put the President above the law. I'm leading the charge to demand answers from the Treasury Secretary and IRS CEO about this DOJ settlement that handed the President and his family a license to dodge IRS scrutiny and accountability.

Trump’s illegal, reckless and expensive war in Iran is driving up costs for families and small businesses everywhere—and there’s no end in sight. Trump himself said yesterday “I don’t care” if negotiations to end the war are over. Ridiculous. End the war. End the pain on Main Street.

Trump is trying to impose a bogus political litmus test for all federal grants – limiting the funding, subjects, and potential discoveries of our researchers. The cost of such a test would be felt for generations and could permanently stunt American scientific progress.

If AI could disrupt half the workforce, we can’t wait until people lose their jobs to act. The companies profiting from AI should help cushion the disruption. That starts with taxing the data centers powering it.
