When nothing can get through the Strait of Hormuz, it drives up costs across the global economy. I don't think there's a single person or company in Michigan that's not watching the price of gas right now and just sort of gasping when they pass by the gas station.

Last year, Senate Republicans tried to sell off 3 million acres of public lands in a massive land grab that would’ve devastated Colorado and the West. I introduced the Public Lands Integrity Act to stop future sell-offs through fast-tracked, backroom budget deals. We must protect our public lands.

Republicans' next big legislative push includes: ✅ $70+ billion for ICE & Border Patrol ✅$1 billion for Trump’s ballroom ❌ $0 for health care ❌$0 to help you afford the basics Budgets show your priorities—and this makes clear Republicans won't lift a finger to help working families.

Every military officer knows ‘hope’ is not a plan. But Pres. Trump took our nation to war with Iran without a plan, hoping for the best. 2 months later: Strait of Hormuz is still closed, costs are skyrocketing, & Trump can’t explain how this war ends. Americans deserve an answer.

2026 has been the worst year on record for Colorado's snowpack. @neguse.house.gov and I are pressing the Trump Administration to step up wildfire preparedness efforts and equip Coloradans to respond to unprecedented risks this fire season.

Working families are getting nothing in the GOP reconciliation bill. $38.2B for ICE $26B for CBP $1B for Trump’s ballroom $0 to lower gas, groceries, housing, or healthcare Their priorities are clear.

Most of us can probably name a special teacher who made a huge difference in our lives. For me, that teacher was Mrs. Taylor. She put me on the path of scientific exploration that ultimately led to me studying engineering. Happy Teacher Appreciation Day to all our educators. 🍎

As a former prosecutor, I know we need to root out fraud and hold people accountable. As governor, I will order a top-to-bottom audit of our state agencies, strengthen criminal penalties, and increase in-person inspections. And that’s just the start. www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/minneso...

The Big Beef monopoly is crushing Americans. The DOJ heeding my call to investigate the meatpacking industry is a good first step, but results are urgently needed to lower costs. We must go further and pass my bill that would break up the beef monopoly once and for all.

Rubio’s refusal to properly honor Foreign Service Day & the 300+ FSOs who died while serving, is an affront to their service. Now, he's firing 250 of these non-partisan civil servants while we are in the middle of a war that is testing our alliances & endangering Americans around the world. [1/2]

As Trump-Republicans force you to pay higher prices for everyday gas, groceries, & healthcare they are now demanding $1 BILLION from U.S. taxpayers for Trump’s tacky WH ballroom project.

People are tired of just getting by and deserve a real shot at building wealth. That means lowering everyday costs and creating pathways to generational wealth through homeownership and access to the digital economy. We should be focused on both.

I have a bipartisan bill with Senator Jon Husted to ensure the yellow paint used on our roads is American-made — produced right here in Michigan, creating good jobs. We shouldn’t rely on China for things like yellow road paint. Let's buy American and support American workers.

In Muskegon, I visited Sun Chemical to talk about the importance of maintaining a strong, American chemical industry -- and not ceding any more manufacturing ground to China. Part of how we do that is by ensuring the government is buying American-made products first.

It is never a good idea for Presidents to be deciding which drugs, medical devices, or tobacco products should be approved for the market. Bad for patients, bad for industry. Let the scientists & doctors decide.

Across Minnesota, gas prices are over $4 a gallon. Americans are already dealing with high everyday costs, and this administration’s unilateral war with Iran is only making it worse — and it has to stop.

Military action at the Strait is part of the ongoing war, not some distinct operation as Hegseth disingenuously attempts to depict it. He’s seemingly seeking to avoid coming to Congress as required by law, pushing an imaginary pause button.

Familias en Virginia estan pagando casi 10.8 milliones de dólares más al día en gasolina de lo que pagaban hace dos meses. La razón? La guerra illegal e imprudente del presidente Trump en contra de Irán.

Pres. Trump’s reckless policies are fueling higher gas prices. Brown University researchers from Climate Solutions Lab, led by Jeff Colgan shows Trump's war with Iran has already cost RIers an extra $36.6 million & counting at the gas pump.

Remember when Donald Trump called himself the "Father of IVF"? Right now, Trump officials are taking a sledgehammer to rules that protect workers undergoing IVF. Just another one of Trump's broken promises. I'm fighting to stop this.

ICYMI: I wrote to @WaPo on permitting reform. It shouldn’t come at the expense of our water and our communities. The Trump administration showed exactly what this looks like – rolling back protections, ignoring local voices, and putting clean water at risk.

The Administration must resume these sanctions and use every available tool to cut Russia's war profits.

I'm leading my colleagues to demand the Trump Administration immediately restore sanctions on Russian oil. Pausing these sanctions didn't lower gas prices—which are up over 50% in Colorado because of President Trump's reckless war in Iran. It only bankrolled Putin's war in Ukraine.

Senate Republicans are wearing out the knees of their pants in their efforts to humor The Mad Trump on things voters despise. How about freeing up clean energy so electric rates come down? Nope, ballroom. And of course The Mad Trump says the quiet part out loud.
