A fitting sendoff for Stephen Colbert from his friend Jon Stewart with a surprise appearance from the great Andra Day – inspiring us all to Rise Up.

I asked Sean Duffy how much gas cost on the "Great American Road Trip" sponsored by Shell and Toyota. He had no clue. Must be nice! Regular Americans don't have corporations to pay for their gas. Gas, which is WAY more expensive thanks to Trump's war.

The Trump Admin should focus on lowering costs, not forcing neighborhood community banks and credit unions to enforce immigration laws. I saw this coming and introduced legislation to stop this overreach. Americans deserve access to financial services without fear, surveillance, or intimidation.

Thousands of New Mexicans have lost their livelihoods because the Trump administration is deliberately destroying the federal workforce. Our unemployment rate is going up, and hardworking families across New Mexico are the ones left suffering the consequences of Trump's destructive agenda.

NEW – Since day one, I’ve opposed this war. The Senate just took a major bipartisan step toward stopping President Trump from dragging the U.S. deeper into it. End the war.

I’m fighting for the foundations Oregonians need to thrive: health care, housing, education, and good paying jobs. Thank you for being with me in the fight to open the doors of opportunity to all!

Trump's DOJ worked harder to protect the privacy of potential child abusers than the Epstein survivors. I gave Acting AG Blanche multiple opportunities to say, "I apologize" or "I'm sorry." He refused. It's a disgrace.

Senate Republicans want American taxpayers to foot the bill for Trump's billion dollar vanity ballroom. Senate Democrats are fighting to make sure that doesn't happen.

Trump is setting up a $1.8 billion slush fund for payouts to his political friends who have committed crimes. Who’s eligible to get a payout? January 6 insurrectionists, Trump family members, Trump allies, etc. Who’s paying for it? YOU, the taxpayer.

Trump is the most corrupt president of our time. He couldn't be more out of touch with what people need.

I asked Sean Duffy what an Airline executive would get for contributing $1 million to his "Great American Road Trip" reality TV show. He just about blew up. If you're going to let the corporations you regulate pay for your vacation, you need to answer for it.

So if you or I cheat on our taxes, we could spend time behind bars. But if Trump... or his kids... or his businesses cheat on their taxes, the law doesn't apply. This is insane & beyond corrupt. DOJ works for the American people, NOT Donald Trump.

Good news! A few more Republicans found a spine today and voted to rein in the war in Iran. There’s a long way to go, but this is a good step.

The Senate finally voted to advance a War Powers resolution to end this costly war. While Americans face rising gas and grocery bills, the President's attention is elsewhere. I urge my Republican colleagues — join me, pass this resolution, and deliver for hardworking Americans.

Standing in front of the site of his $1 BILLION, gold plated, taxpayer funded ballroom, Trump tells working people that an over $1.00/gallon spike in gas prices is 'peanuts.' Trump first, working Americans last. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Nuclear reactors in the Middle East have been attacked many times during Trump’s reckless war on Iran. Yet Trump wants to build more in Saudi Arabia, without the strongest safeguards. This is a nuclear disaster waiting to happen. We should not build nuclear plants in war zones.

Donald Trump is getting a $1.8 billion slush fund, paid for by YOU. To do what? Fund the guys that rioted and beat up police officers? It’s unbelievable.

Clean water is a basic right. This dangerous effort to roll back water quality protections will only allow more harmful chemicals into our drinking water — putting Americans' health at grave risk.

President Trump's apparent capitulation to the Chinese government on this issue makes it even more urgent that the Senate passes our bill immediately. We need to protect America's land and our national security.

Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet and I have a bipartisan bill to prevent CCP purchases of Michigan's farmland, which has passed the House in the Farm Bill.

While we are still learning the full results of President Trump's summit with President Xi, this is a clear step backward and a full 180 from his first term. American farmland should be for American farmers -- not for the Chinese Communist Party.

Today, I asked acting-AG Blanche if a convicted pedophile & Jan 6 rioter would be eligible for his & Trump's $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund. The fact that he can't rule it out is obscene.

Finally. The Senate just took a step in the right direction to stop Trump’s illegal war with Iran that’s created a cost of living emergency for folks at home. Congress needs to assert its constitutional duty and do what the President won’t—help Americans and end his war of choice.

I am pleased to see the Senate finally step up to its constitutional duty and advance a resolution requiring Congress to approve further military action against Iran. Consumer prices are up, Iran’s regime hasn’t moderated, and service members are at risk. We need oversight of this war now.

NEWS: The Senate voted today to put a check on President Trump’s power — and give Congress the say in bringing his war in Iran to an end. I’m grateful to all my colleagues, including 4 Republicans, who joined us in reaffirming Congress’s constitutional authority over going to war.

Trump’s Iran war is expensive, chaotic, and illegal. This is where we should’ve been 3 months ago. I call on my colleagues to vote to end this war when it comes to the Floor.

Finally, after weeks of pleading with our Republican colleagues to listen to their constituents and do their constitutional duty, we earned the support we need to rein in this reckless war. It’s overdue, but this is the first step toward stopping this illegal war that’s raising everyone’s costs.

It took two and a half months, tens of billions of dollars, 13 dead American servicemembers, 8 votes, and skyrocketing gas prices before enough Republican Senators stood up and said no to Trump’s disastrous war of choice in Iran. Finally.

That’s how we won. And that put Republicans on the spot — to throw in the towel or own more mischief to fund the Trump billionaires ballroom.

The day after we argued, the Parliamentarian ruled that the White House was in the jurisdiction both of EPW (public buildings/grounds) and ENR (national parks).
- SW
ENR Committee Dems argued similarly that ENR has jurisdiction over “national parks” and “historical sites,” but also received no instruction.
- SW
The Republicans’ problem? There was no reconciliation instruction to EPW, so if there was EPW jurisdiction, the ballroom measure was defective.
- SW
EPW Dems argued the case for EPW’s jurisdiction over White House construction and federal public buildings. We argued that the Public Buildings Act requires EPW approval of projects exceeding $3.9 million. Which it does.
