The price tag of Trump's war with Iran has already cost the American people so much, in high gas prices and lives lost. Now he's asking for almost $70 billion more. Not to help you in the struggle to afford health care and groceries.

The Supreme Court's support of Trump's inhumane deportation and detention agenda is unsurprising.

Donald Trump wants billions in tax dollars to pay off the costs of his war with Iran. But overdue disaster aid for Los Angeles County continues to be ignored.

This is no surprise coming from a president who just a few months ago said "no one gives a [bleep] about housing." While his rent is covered by your tax dollars, he's standing in the way of bringing down the cost of your rent or mortgage. www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Giving Iran a great financial boon it hasn’t enjoyed in decades, without getting anything in return. If there is an art to this deal, it looks distinctly Iranian. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Four years since the Dobbs decision, America is grappling with a health care crisis that Republicans continue to make worse by trying to undermine women's rights and freedoms. Republican abortion bans are preventing women from receiving lifesaving medical care, putting their health in jeopardy.

Trump's DOJ greenlit the Paramount-Warner Brothers merger, despite almost half - maybe even more - of the deal being funded by foreign nations. Allowing outsized influence over American news organizations, including CNN or CBS, imperils our national security.

We feared that Bill Pulte would do nothing but damage to our national security. And now that fear is realized, as he makes massive cuts to the counter-terrorism workforce. What could possibly go wrong? www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Today, the Senate passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, the largest housing bill in over 30 years. This will help boost the housing supply across the nation and crack down on private equity firms buying up single-family homes, so that we can begin to bring down housing costs for families.

Juneteenth marks the day that the last slaves in the United States were freed. Today, we remember the struggles and hard-won fights of previous generations against racism, bigotry, and injustice. We must also recognize the significant work that remains in the fight for equality.

Trump is touting a "deal" that promises to lift all sanctions, allow Iran to export oil and potentially charge tolls, and hand over more than 300 billion dollars to that country. How bad is the deal? It looks more like a surrender. I explain all the reasons why: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Qr5...

Our farmers need more opportunities in today’s agricultural markets. Today I’m introducing new bipartisan legislation with Senators Hyde-Smith, @klobuchar.senate.gov, and Senator Justice to strengthen our food supply chains & open new markets for small and mid-sized producers and growers.

Once again, Donald Trump chooses chaos over national security. Installing an unqualified loyalist like Bill Pulte will not make us safer. Nor will insisting that Congress add an unrelated voter suppression bill to a FISA extension. It will only ensure the latter will fail. No reforms for FISA.

The decision to go to war was never the President's to make. Senate Democrats have insisted that Congress play its constitutional role and stop these illegal and deeply harmful wars. Senate Republicans have now voted EIGHT times to shirk their duty and greenlight Trump's illegal war of choice.

Donald Trump, the developer: Tear down a historic building for a project that the public didn’t want or approve. Triple the initial price tag. Make taxpayers foot the bill after promising they wouldn’t.

The Trump administration's newest corruption scheme just dropped. Kash Patel may be using the FBI's budget as his personal slush fund to pay agents tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for carrying out illegal orders, or as hush money to keep quiet about what they witnessed.

Wow. Iran gets sanctions relief, the release of frozen funds, the ability to export oil, and a $300 billion reconstruction fund. The U.S. gets a reiteration of the vague promise Iran won’t develop a nuke. Hard to imagine a more thorough capitulation.

Binance has repeatedly routed millions to Iran-backed proxy groups while also being a key backer of Trump’s crypto profiteering. I am demanding answers into Binance’s role in violating sanctions laws — and its business entanglements with the Trump family.

There is something terribly wrong about an economy that produces its first trillionaire, but cannot provide health care for its people. Or one in which the richest handful of families have the combined wealth of almost forty percent of the rest of the country.

I’m the first Senator from California to sit on the Agriculture Committee in 30 years, despite California being the biggest agricultural state in the country. So when the Ag Secretary comes to testify, I get ready by reflecting on the farmers and farmworkers I’ve met and the stories they’ve shared.

Another rubber stamp by this administration, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. At issue: Californian film industry jobs and the regional economy, consumer choices and increased streaming fees, media consolidation and the First Amendment, and the foreign actors funding this deal.

There is no expunging the stain of Trump’s two impeachments. Or avoiding the conclusion that the President cares little about the economic hardships of the American people. His priority is only, ever, Donald Trump.
