The American people are facing uncertainty at the gas pump and the grocery store because of Trump's chaos. Trump promised to lower costs. The American people deserve answers.

For the millions of Americans working long hours and making sacrifices to keep the lights on and the house warm, the President's obsession with stock market records couldn't be more out of touch.

Costs are up. Tariffs are hurting our farmers and small businesses. And this war is driving up gas and fertilizer prices. We need to stop the chaos and focus on making things affordable for Americans.

Secretary Hegseth sent troops to fight in Iran but refused to take basic steps necessary to protect them. Then, when service members died, he tried to cover up those failures. Hegseth's leadership is one betrayal after another. He must be held accountable.

Gas prices continue to rise every single day. We're now paying an average of $4.18 per gallon for gas. It's unsustainable. You had no say in Trump’s war but you’re paying its price.

And as Churchill once said, “there is only one thing worse than fighting with allies, and that is fighting without them.”

As King Charles visits the U.S., it’s worth reflecting on the status of one of our most important alliances. We have ignored and assailed the British to the point where we are at war with Iran, and without a friend to be found.

Trump’s policies continue to put a serious dent in driver's wallets. Gas prices are up & RIers are being forced to pay an extra $1.14 per gallon over last year. Rhode Islanders are also paying more for food and other goods due to Trump’s unauthorized war and unfair tariffs.

Trump wants a $1.5 trillion slush fund for his “Department of War.” That’s eight times what he wants to spend on health and education combined. Americans want health care—not warfare.

House Republicans have blocked the bipartisan DHS funding bill the Senate passed for the past 32 days. Mike Johnson could fund these agencies today. He’s choosing not to.

A huge scam: Trump’s DOJ is now using taxpayers as a piggybank to pay off his followers. They have spent $8.5 million and counting of your money to pay off frivolous claims, enriching his friends while corrupting our justice system.

We discussed how the economy is affecting their workers, and the fight for fair wages and good benefits. Labor unions built this country and as Michigan’s Senator, I have their backs.

Last week was busy meeting with Michiganders across our building trades unions who were in Washington, D.C. I met the Michigan Building and Construction Trades Council, along with affiliates from @smart-union.bsky.social, @ibewinternational.bsky.social, Operating Engineers, and others.

We have no time to waste. The Trump Admin's funding freezes, along with aging dams and record snowmelt in our state, are converging into a real public safety challenge. The Trump Admin must release the federal funding already signed into law to address what we are seeing in Northern Michigan.

THIS WEEK: Senate Democrats will force a SIXTH vote on our War Powers Resolution ending Trump’s war of choice in Iran. As we reach 60 days of a reckless and unpopular war, will Republicans continue to back Trump and dig themselves deeper into this hole?

Democrats UNANIMOUSLY supported funding the vast majority of DHS, including Secret Service. We passed it in the Senate, not once but twice. It is House Republicans, not Democrats, who are blocking this funding.

For too long, GSA has neglected to improve and maintain the facilities at the Dirksen and Roszkowski Courthouses, even as they face infrastructure failures. I joined @duckworth.senate.gov to demand GSA do its job and fix these unacceptable conditions that are impacting daily courthouse operations.

Another attack on New York offshore wind by Trump. These projects would have delivered desperately needed cheaper, cleaner energy to our homes and small businesses. All this does is kill good-paying union jobs and send energy prices even higher. Despicable.

Before Trump’s war of choice, the Strait of Hormuz was wide open, gas was cheap, and U.S. troops faced no imminent threats. What’s it going to take for Republicans to wake up and stop this chaos? This must end now. www.wkow.com/news/top-sto...

That should be a call to action for all of us—especially the Secretary of Health and Human Services. If Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has changed his view on vaccines, now is the moment to make that clear and help protect America’s kids.

REMINDER: The Senate unanimously passed a bill to fund DHS 31 days ago. We passed it unanimously AGAIN 25 days ago. But instead of ending the DHS shutdown and funding agencies like TSA & the Secret Service, Speaker Johnson has dragged his feet & failed to put it up for a vote.
