Costs are skyrocketing across the board – the last thing Americans need is another corrupt Trump scam. I’m pressing to save your money and get answers for the thousands who spent money on Trump Mobile phones:

The SAVE Trump Act would disenfranchise MILLIONS of eligible voters from participating in our upcoming elections. Trump knows it. Republicans know it. They don't care. Their obsession with power and corruption trumps their allegiance to the American people and our democracy.

Spiking gas prices due to the war in Iran are stretching my constituents thin and threatening funding for critical infrastructure projects throughout the Granite State. President Trump has no plan for his war in Iran, and it's Americans who are paying the price.

The American people have made themselves clear: They can't afford Trump's endless war with Iran. But Trump doesn't care about working families. He's too busy trading stocks, building his ballroom, and setting up a taxpayer-funded slush fund for criminals.

Keeping costs down for farmers and families starts with keeping production local. The Central Farm Service and Minnesota Farmers Union are working together to do just that – and this is the kind of innovation our state needs. Good to be there with Gary Wertish and KC Graner.

Cartels in Mexico are profiting off of stolen fuel and crude oil, enabling them to sustain their illegal operations on both sides of the border.

Trump gets a $1.8 billion slush fund for his loyalists and supporters. Congressional Republicans want to write a blank check to ICE. And what do you get? The corruption and lawlessness is out of control.

Allowing our CO Air National Guard members to remain in Greeley is the right decision that gives much-needed clarity to our servicemembers and their families. The assignment also helps ensure these talented professionals can continue serving and making Colorado proud.

Republicans want to help Trump steal $2 billion in taxpayer money for his insurrectionist MAGA slush fund. Our brave Capitol Police officers deserve better than to see their assailants rewarded with taxpayer-funded payouts. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Every American wants and needs the opportunity to succeed, security in their home and future, and a just nation. Read my op-ed in Bay-to-Bay news on how I’m working in Washington on policies from raising the minimum wage to responsible AI regulation that will make those three things realities.

Using plutonium for nuclear power is stupid and dangerous. This material is used in nukes, and it’s too unsafe for widespread commercial use. Do we want Iran using plutonium in its reactor? No. Only Trump’s get-rich-quick bros would come up with this corrupt and moronic scheme.

Trump’s alliance with Big Tobacco is exposing another generation of kids to nicotine addiction, sickness, and early death. Read my op-ed in STAT below about how Big Tobacco used their money and influence to push the President to abandon children’s health.

Trump's war in Iran created a gas price crisis--and oil companies are capitalizing on it. Americans are paying 50% more for gas since Trump’s war began, while Big Oil rakes in windfall profits. That’s why I’m demanding the FTC investigate this price gouging.

AI is trained on human creativity and intelligence, funded by federal research using taxpayer dollars, and powered by data centers built on American land. The success of AI should belong to all of us. It’s time to tax AI and invest in people.

I am very pleased that Ricardo has been released from ICE detention & is reunited with his mother. But he should never have been taken from his family in the first place. We must end the Trump Administration’s mass deportation operation & stop these cruel attacks on immigrants & our communities.

ICE is completely out of control. We can’t have a rogue, masked police force separating families and terrorizing our communities. Not one penny more for ICE.

Prices are skyrocketing from the grocery store to the gas pump. But Trump’s top priorities are securing a slush fund for violent Jan. 6 criminals and building himself a golden ballroom. When will he do anything to lower costs?

Oregonians have voted by mail by decades. It’s a safe, secure system that works in red and blue states alike. I’m fighting to protect your right to cast your vote by mail!

Coloradans are paying 60% more at the pump because of President Trump’s reckless war. He is forcing Colorado families to make an impossible choice between a full tank of gas or food on the table. Trump must end this war NOW.

This is a hard-fought win. But don't expect the fight to end here. Trump will continue pushing states to redraw their maps to secure his own power by diluting Black representation in Congress — and we have to keep fighting it.

Every farm I go to is a reminder of just how hard our farmers work to make ends meet. And this President is making them work even harder with this war in Iran. I visited Mike and Gary at Frontier Farms to talk about what this chaos means for them and what they need to compete.

Too many Delawareans feel like they’re working as hard as they can, but wages are slipping further behind the cost of living, and they don’t know if anyone in Washington can hear them. I’m not just listening to you—I’m working to help. Read more in my new op-ed here.

Republican North Carolina Senator Thom Tillis is right that Congress decides how taxpayer dollars are spent — not the president. And your money shouldn’t go to people convicted of assaulting law enforcement and the Capitol on January 6th.

Donald Trump just keeps claiming the war is about to end… but the truth is, America is still striking Iran. He’s breaking every promise, starting new forever wars, and raising costs on everything.

It’s clear that both the policy decisions like sending troops to our cities and Secretary Hegseth's purge of generals have been demoralizing to our service members.

Journalist Sonia Dahmani’s conditional release was modest but welcome progress. Yet legal harassment continues, including yesterday’s sentence on nonsense charges, raising further concerns about basic freedoms in Tunisia under President Saied. Political charges against her & others must be dropped.
