The new Poplar Way Bridge will help keep Lynnwood moving. The new bridge will relieve congestion on the busy 196th Street exit and includes a pedestrian walkway making it safer and easier for south Lynnwood residents to get to Alderwood Mall and the city center. www.heraldnet.com/2026/04/08/l...

In Eden Prairie with Rep. Morrison and local leaders to tour the new Mobile Command Center. I worked with Sen. Smith & former Rep. Phillips to secure federal funding for this critical project that will improve real-time coordination in emergencies and help first responders keep people safe.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is causing energy prices to soar, & CT residents are feeling the pain with higher utility bills. CT families are paying at least $217 more to heat their homes with oil—all because of a war Americans don't want. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/04/08/s...

Child care is fundamental to our communities, our workforce and economic development across the state. Today, I led a roundtable in Keene focused on lowering costs in our state to ensure no family is priced out of the reliable child care options they need.

The Supreme Court’s ruling in February offered small businesses temporary relief from what has become a year of pain and uncertainty for Main Street. We must stop the pain from becoming permanent. Trump must automatically refund his tariff taxes.

This idea from the Trump administration is flying under the radar. It shouldn’t. Shutting down customs at major U.S. airports would hurt millions of American businesses, workers, and families, and totally upend international travel. Yet another self-inflicted wound.

Donald Trump wants to gut funding for programs that help Americans afford their groceries, home electricity bills, and health care. Families are desperate for some relief and Trump doesn’t care at all.

What was this all for? 13 American troops killed and hundreds wounded. We haven't destroyed Iran's nuclear program. Americans are paying billions in higher gas prices. We've spent $44 billion taxpayer dollars. President Trump accomplished nothing and Americans paid the price.

Trump’s reckless immigration crackdown isn’t targeting the ‘worst of the worst.’ They are going after military families on base & separating newlyweds as they actively pursue legal paths to citizenship.

Trump’s pointless war has skyrocketed energy prices & now airlines are raising fees & charges. Travelers will get hit with the expense of higher fuel costs, even as airlines keep their profits. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/t...

A touching tribute to an incredible mom and late wife of NASA Commander Wiseman. The astronauts on Artemis II honor Carroll Wiseman, who passed away from cancer, by naming a lunar crater after her.

15 people have died in ICE custody JUST THIS YEAR. That is 1 death a week. Under this regime, 2026 is set to be the deadliest year for ICE detention EVER. The need for guardrails and meaningful oversight could not be more urgent.

Grateful there wasn’t further escalation, but this ceasefire is anything but a win. So much chaos and pain for an ill-conceived war. A massive strategic failure.
- MW
While we wait to see if this ceasefire holds, don’t expect gas prices to come down right away. Trump’s painful war of choice caused supply shocks that are going to continue to keep costs high.

The President of the United States cannot threaten genocide. That kind of erratic behavior is catastrophically dangerous and goes against everything we stand for as Americans. Congress must put him in check before he ever pushes so close to the brink again.

I had a great tour of Emory & Henry University School of Health Sciences and an informative discussion with students, staff, and faculty. I enjoyed learning more about how the school is working to boost the health care workforce and encourage students to stay in SWVA.

The health care system in America has been broken for a while, but after this administration’s massive health care cuts, this is where American families are at right now. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Hegseth is once again blowing smoke. Trump's & Netanyahu's illegal war of choice has made Americans worse off. A strategic blunder of epic proportions leaving Americans less safe and facing higher costs. We know we cannot trust Trump. Congress must act & end this war for good.

At the Tate family farm near Cannon Falls to talk about rising fertilizer costs hurting farmers in the wake of the war in Iran and this administration’s tariffs. I’ve introduced bipartisan bills to increase price transparency and expand domestic production so farmers have the certainty they need.

The war in Iran has cost billions of dollars of taxpayer money. President Trump campaigned on lowering costs, yet we've seen a total abdication of that commitment to the American people.

Reproductive care is health care. When Republicans attack abortion access, they also go after birth control, cancer screenings, and basic preventive care. I will continue to oppose any attacks on bodily autonomy.

Massive SNAP cuts. Rising gas prices. Higher utility bills. Arizona families are getting hit from every angle thanks to Trump’s anti-working class agenda. https://www.azfamily.com/2026/04/08/arizona-food-banks-feeling-pressure-snap-changes-gas-prices-drive-demand/

NEW: Since Donald Trump waged war on Iran, Americans have paid over $8 BILLION MORE for gas.
- TD
Before Donald Trump launched this unnecessary and costly war, the Strait of Hormuz was open, gas was $1 less and 13 more American servicemembers were alive. Only someone as deeply incompetent, delusional and unfit as Trump would see this as “winning.”

Iran still has 50% of their missile capacity. They still have enriched uranium. And they still control the Strait of Hormuz. The President had no credible strategy going into this war, and it's clear he still doesn't have one to accomplish the goals he set out.

Yesterday, I met with local leaders and partners in Damascus to get an update on the restoration of the Creeper Trail. I was proud to help secure over $240 million in funding to rebuild the trail after Hurricane Helene. Glad we are making progress to fully reopen this critical economic engine!

The world now has to pay Iran a fee for every barrel of oil leaving the Middle East. This was not the case before Donald Trump’s warmongering. And it would not be the case today if Donald Trump had chosen diplomacy over war.

We have to ruthlessly attack the issues facing the middle class.

This is a huge win for the next generation of Arizona innovators and workers. Arizona is putting ourselves on the map as a global leader in advanced manufacturing, and new investments from ASU will help us continue creating great-paying jobs right here at home.

Because of Donald Trump’s warmongering 13 Americans have lost their lives. Billions of your taxpayer dollars have been spent on bullets and bombs instead of health care for Americans. And there is STILL no guarantee that Iran will not get a nuclear weapon in the future.

While Nevada families worry about how they’ll afford gas for their car, health insurance, and groceries, Trump’s focused on building a $400 million ballroom and a gold arch honoring himself.

We have the numbers to prove it. This regime cares more about funneling BILLIONS of YOUR taxpayer dollars into an unauthorized war than they do about taking care of our veterans or your ability to afford health care, groceries, energy, or housing. It's diabolical.

Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos shouldn't be paying the same amount in Social Security tax as someone making $175,000 a year. Billionaires are not paying their fair share.
