Trump should ask the Nevadans being squeezed by rising prices on gas, groceries, and health care if they think this inflation is “fake.”

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.

A jury has found what fans and artists have known for years: Ticketmaster/Live Nation is an anticompetitive monopoly. That means higher fees and fewer choices. We need real solutions that will increase competition and lower prices.

When you’re on both sides, you can dictate the result. This is the DOJ “ice cream window” that pays off MAGA lawsuits, on conflict-of-interest steroids.

Corporate money has flooded our politics. You can't claim to represent working people while cashing checks from the big companies. That’s why I don't take a dime of corporate PAC money. Everyone in Congress should do the same.

Affordable and accessible child care is a form of economic freedom for working families. In our meetings with providers and parents at Grand Junction’s Confluence Center, this was crystal clear.

Because of Trump's attacks on health care, premiums are skyrocketing, hospitals are in jeopardy of closing, and Americans can't afford the care they need. It doesn't have to be this way.

This video shows how close these tornadoes that touched down outside Rochester were to causing even more destruction. They took out many homes but thankfully no one was seriously injured. I’m grateful for the first responders and everyone who stepped up to keep people safe. Video credit: Ryan Hall

Donald Trump is a warmonger.

Trump campaigned on lowering costs, helping families, and putting America first. He's breaking every one of those promises and demanding we slash investments in American families to fund reckless foreign wars.

How is it Trump's nominee for the IAEA, a key nuclear inspection agency, didn't know that both the IAEA AND Trump's 1st Admin certified that Iran was in compliance with the JCPOA? The JCPOA was preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped it up & started a war.

You should be able to easily file your taxes for free with the IRS. Not only did Trump kill Direct File, the IRS's free tax filing program, but this week, Republicans BLOCKED my bill that would make the program law of the land. That's what you call selling out to TurboTax.

Dangerously strong tornadoes in Stewartville & Marion township. Was in Rochester for Salvation Army dinner & went to the Red Cross emergency center shelter to thank volunteers. Many homes damaged, thankful no one died or was seriously hurt. Incredible work by first responders & the community. ❤️

Americans' insurance premiums went up by hundreds and even thousands of dollars because Republicans refused to extend the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits. Republicans in Congress knew that families would lose their health care as a consequence of inaction, and they still did nothing to help.

Too often, Black women are overlooked by our health care system. As Black Maternal Health Week comes to a close, I remain committed to pushing for real change through legislation like the U-FIGHT Act and the Women’s Heart Health Expansion Act.

Republicans are creating a national school voucher program that will leave public schools with less funding and abandon students with disabilities. Arizona already has school vouchers and we've seen the consequences. I'm fighting to give every kid a fair shot.

In Waseca, I heard plans for a new, much-needed Justice Center that will break ground this fall. The county’s current courthouse is one of the oldest in the state, and I look forward to working with them on their new building.

One year ago, I demanded CIA Director Ratcliffe answer for the Trump cabinet’s reckless discussion of classified information on Signal. Nothing has changed: this Administration’s incompetence continues to put Americans at risk.

Trump promised that "TrumpRx" would lower prescription drug costs. Yet the companies who signed these "deals" kept raising drug prices & grew their profits by $70 BILLION last year. Another Trump scam that promised to help working people but ended up being a gift to big pharma.

Trump wants to spend half a TRILLION more of your taxpayer dollars for his war with Iran. It would rob our families and burden our grandkids with mountains of new debt—and for what? So Trump has more bombs he can threaten to “end civilizations” with?

The Trump Administration’s decision to close research facilities at Bartlett Experimental Forest undermines long-running research and threatens our forest-based economies. Senator Hassan and I joined local stakeholders to discuss how to fight for our forests.

I got a letter from hundreds of U.S. career diplomats who were FIRED before Donald Trump's war with Iran. You won't believe what they had to say.

In Nevada, we know better than anyone else the impact that sports can have on a local community. Great to join the NFL on Capitol Hill to talk about the intersection of sports and tourism – and how excited Las Vegas is that the Super Bowl will be back in 2029 for the second time in 5 years!

For the first time in over 50 years, humans flew around the Moon. That didn't happen by accident. It happened because thousands of people committed to doing something hard. That's what America can achieve when we put differences aside and work together. Let's remember that.

During Black Maternal Health Week, we’re facing a reality we can’t ignore. In Michigan and across the country, Black women still face higher risks during pregnancy and are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from complications.

No one should be paying hundreds of dollars for their life-saving insulin. My bipartisan INSULIN Act will ensure this is the case—capping insulin costs at just $35 per month to deliver real financial relief to those living with diabetes.

Update on where things stand on FISA: this deal is a win. We got the House to back down from an 18 month extension, buying us time to negotiate on real reforms. I'll be fighting like hell for reforms that put your privacy first, and will have more to share soon.

ICE is killing American citizens in the streets, violently pulling people out of their cars, shooting them with pepper balls, all while the death toll of individuals in ICE custody grows — and Republicans want to give MORE funding to ICE? ICE needs reforms. Not a blank check.

Glad to hear that the Strait of Hormuz is open again. Of course, Iran can close it again at any time. Trump’s expensive, dangerous, and unnecessary war has allowed Iran to weaponize the Strait. Iran controls it and there is no going back. Thanks, Trump.
