Trump promised to lower costs and “defeat inflation” on day 1. Instead, inflation rates are higher than they were when he took office. Trump’s senseless tariffs and chaotic foreign policy agenda are not working for the U.S. economy.

How anyone can doubt the need for AI guardrails is beyond me. The dangers grow more frightening by the day. My bipartisan legislative framework for protection & prevention of harm offers a path forward.

I sounded the alarm when Donald Trump went after thousands of libraries and museums — and they just won BIG. These are institutions that preserve our history, add BILLIONS to our economy, and educate future generations. There's power in fighting back.

Good news! While it’s no secret that Virginia is full of beautiful communities, I’m excited that Fredericksburg’s Caroline Street was recently voted “Best Main Street in the South.” This win is well-deserved. www.fredericksburgfreepress.com/2026/04/08/t...

41 days after Trump started this war of choice with Iran, what have we actually accomplished? Not much.

Remember when Trump promised to "end inflation?" Well, instead, you got a President who is directly responsible for driving up inflation—all thanks to a war he didn't have to start and tariffs no one wanted.

The NATO alliance is vital to the security of the United States and our allies. Donald Trump has no power to unilaterally withdraw from NATO without approval from Congress. Period.

With Russia continuing its brutal, unjust war in Ukraine, nonprofits like New Hampshire’s Common Man are stepping up and providing humanitarian aid and support for the Ukrainian people. I thank these Granite Staters for their tireless work supporting Ukraine in their fight.

President Trump’s 2027 budget includes cuts to energy assistance, cancer research, and infrastructure to help pay for more funding for ICE and his mass deportation agenda. The President’s animus toward immigrants will mean less assistance for the Americans who need it most.

Costs are up. Chaos is up. And corruption is up. This Administration is not focused on bringing down prices. Instead, they have dragged us into a war in the Middle East and trade wars across the globe.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s illegal war on Iran is a tax hike on American small businesses and families. Enough. End the war, end Trump’s affordability crisis, and end the pain on Main Street.

President Trump said he would bring down prices on day one, and called himself the “President of Peace.” Fast forward to today: inflation is the highest it’s been in two years thanks to his dangerous, illegal war in Iran.

This is Trump’s war tax and YOU'RE footing the bill. We are drowning in these prices. This is unsustainable.

Next week, Republicans will have another chance to vote with us to end the war in Iran. @sanders.senate.gov & I will also call for a vote to stop the sale of US taxpayer-funded weapons to the Netanyahu gov, which has used them in violation of international law. We must end these wars.

President Trump’s tariffs created chaos and pain for American small businesses. They deserve to get every cent back. Congress must pass my Tariff Refund Act to get small businesses the money they’re owed. www.wsj.com/business/tar...

Trump’s chaotic tariffs were already squeezing families, and now his war has sent energy prices skyrocketing, with gas prices above $4 a gallon and the cost of food still too high. Every family struggling to fill their gas tank or buy groceries knows exactly who is responsible.

A temporary “ceasefire” was negotiated, yet bombs are still flying, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, and the death toll tragically continues to rise. This regime owes Americans answers on what the hell is going on. How are they going to end this war of choice?

Trump has proposed sweeping budget cuts to security agencies that would undermine the integrity of our country’s elections. This is just the latest in what Trump has been boasting for months: that he intends to intervene in and “take over” elections.

I called out EPA’s slowdown in approving loan applications that halted hundreds of critical water infrastructure projects, and now we have progress. This new funding will improve water quality and reduce flood risk in communities across San Mateo — protecting community health and safety. 🧵

Immigrants come to America for different reasons and different circumstances. But like our ancestors, they all believe in the idea of America as the land of opportunity. I was honored to be a small part of the naturalization process for some of Vermont's newest U.S. citizens.

Americans want lower costs, not forever conflicts. Trump’s reckless handling of his illegal war with Iran will only continue to cost you for months to come.

More than 400 hospitals are at risk of closing thanks to Trump's "big, ugly bill." This will hit rural families—they'll now have to drive even farther before they can get care—if it's not too late by then. This is what happens when you prioritize billionaires & bombs over Americans.

Donald Trump’s tariffs have taken a toll on small businesses as they struggle to keep their doors open and plan for the future. Small businesses in Nevada are being hurt by this unpredictability, and I will not stop fighting to exempt them from the president's cost-raising tariffs.

Donald Trump is using foreign steel to build his gold-encrusted ballroom. It's a slap in the face to every American steelworker. "America First" was always just a slogan to Trump.

This ballroom is a huge waste of money and the President’s time – and he’s not even supporting American companies and American workers. So much for America first.

Right now, the math isn’t adding up for middle-class families. Groceries, gas, and housing costs are all high. People need a break. My Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act will put money back in your pocket, and it’s paid for by making rich people finally pay their fair share.

Trump entered into this war of choice without consulting Congress or our European allies. Now, he wants to punish NATO for not backing him when he was making threats like “a whole civilization will die.”
