From his illegal tariffs to his illegal war — Trump has done nothing but make life more expensive for the American people.

Congress cannot keep letting Donald Trump spend billions, destabilize the world, and make Americans’ lives even more expensive without oversight. We must defend the Constitution. We will keep forcing this fight on the Senate floor.

I met with leadership from the Knox County Area Partnership to discuss how Congress can support economic development and infrastructure in the region. It is always a pleasure to meet with organizations representing the interests of our state, and this was no exception.

This is a dangerous effort to rewrite the history of January 6th and will only further embolden the people who are willing to use violence to undermine our democracy. President Trump is sending a clear message – loyalty to him is more important than the rule of law. www.cbsnews.com/news/doj-mov...

Joel was a legendary journalist who did important shoe-leather reporting. We didn’t always agree, but that’s not how he’d ever have wanted it—he knew his top job was to hold our leaders accountable.

I voted YES on reining in Trump’s unconstitutional war with Iran and NO on sending more bombs and bulldozers to Israel. Republicans blocked BOTH.

Since they’re abusing the Congressional Review Act to get around the filibuster, I am reserving some of my time so I can make closing remarks in the morning before the final vote. Maybe they’ll listen to reason after a night’s sleep. Stay tuned. Save the Boundary Waters.

This isn't just an issue for Minnesota. It's an issue for our nation. The Boundary Waters are about something bigger.

We should not send 1,000 pound bombs and armored bulldozers to Netanyahu that could be used not only in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, but also in Trump's illegal Iran war. There's no military solution to this crisis. We must solve this at the negotiating table & end this war.

The tax refunds that Americans are receiving this year are being eaten up by Trump's tariffs—which are costing the average American household $1,700 this year. Thanks to Republicans, billionaires get a kickback and you pay a Trump tariff tax.

I’m holding the Senate floor tonight in protest of legislation that would allow a copper-nickel sulfide mine on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters. Not this mine. Not this place.

I voted with Senator Sanders to block hundreds of millions in additional weapons to the Netanyahu government. It will only enable destruction, undermine a two-state solution, and escalate the illegal war with Iran. (1/2)

The historic Artemis II mission was an inspiration to millions as we begin a new era of space exploration. Congress must deliver NASA the funding it needs to continue our exploration of the Moon, and move on to the ultimate challenge — Mars.

This Tax Day, don't forget this: Donald Trump went out of his way to shut down the IRS' FREE and EASY tax filing program. But I have a bill to bring it back for good. Let's get it done.

4 years ago, then-Rep. Mike Waltz called on President Biden to make clear that Putin was an 'absolute war criminal.' Today, he refused to even utter those words himself. As one of Trump's top diplomats, his reversal speaks volumes.

New Hampshire’s maple syrup industry is iconic. Unfortunately, with climate change and President Trump’s tariffs on Canada, our producers are at risk—threatening this quintessential Granite State industry.

It's disgusting that even as our troops do their jobs, Trump and Republicans are so eager to neglect their own. End this war. Now.

I voted again to end President Trump’s war of choice with Iran, which has plunged the Middle East into chaos. Trump promised the Iranian people that help is on the way so they can rise up against their dangerous, repressive regime.

Budgets are about values. Trump wants $200 billion for his unilateral war in Iran, yet he let health care premiums double for Americans. That same amount could extend ACA tax credits for 7 years. Or cover dental/hearing/vision for EVERY senior on Medicare — for 3 years!

70% of Minnesotans do NOT want copper nickel mining near the Boundary Waters. The Senate has a chance to do right by them by leaving the mining moratorium in place.

Before Trump’s war of choice with Iran, the Strait of Hormuz was open. Now it's closed, your gas prices are climbing, and the president still cannot explain how any of this makes America safer.

Americans are paying a steep price for Pres. Trump’s reckless and repeated mistakes in Iran. It is past time he seriously pursues a diplomatic, not military, solution to the war. Democrats will continue working to responsibly end Trump’s war abroad & lower costs at home.

The war in Sudan has raged on for too long, causing unspeakable suffering with too little attention from the world. I call on the Trump administration and the international community to do more to facilitate access to humanitarian aid, end this war, and hold perpetrators of this violence to account.

Today I asked the top nonpartisan budget official in our government an important question. What single piece of legislation has contributed most to the national debt in the last decade? The answer? Trump's Big Ugly Bill—and it's not even close.

I see this as a national security issue. In a diverse nation like ours, if people can't work hard, play by the rules and get ahead and have their kids do better, we got a real problem.

Today, USS Gerald R. Ford broke the record for the longest modern carrier deployment. Our sailors should be home with their families, not sent around the world by a President who acts like the military is his palace guard. I’m doing all I can to end the war against Iran. youtube.com/shorts/ZVWna...

The federal government – ICE, FBI, and more – is spying on you without a warrant. This week, Congress will decide whether Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and Trump can keep spying on Americans. If that scares you (it should) this thread is for you.

Breaking news: New York jury finds Ticketmaster/Live Nation to be an anticompetitive monopoly. FINALLY. A jury says the truth about what nearly everyone in Washington keeps denying. Now we need remedies that help fans & lower prices, unlike DOJ meaningless “settlement.”

Donald Trump is angry that his own policies have driven up prices and killed jobs, but instead of owning up to his mistakes he is looking for someone else to blame and causing even more chaos in the economy in the process.
