Donald Trump's so-called “understanding” with Iran fell apart faster than the ink could dry. The House and Senate both voted to remove our forces from harm’s way and end this war now. Trump must comply. Enough is enough. End the war.

Another person killed by ICE agents, this time in Maine. His family deserves answers. We need a complete, independent, and transparent investigation immediately.

Betting on the wildfires threatening our communities? Just plain wrong. This is why I wrote bills to rein in prediction markets, and why I'm fighting to get them passed.

For decades, UNH and @noaa.gov have produced critical research, and I'm proud to have secured millions in federal funding to support their efforts. It was wonderful to see the site of their new research center, which will ensure our state remains a global leader in ocean mapping.

The Trump administration is dismantling the public health infrastructure Americans rely on – making it harder to save lives, prevent disease outbreaks, and protect our food supply.

President Trump has weakened America’s food safety and disease monitoring systems by firing the inspectors and researchers who keep our communities safe.

Just days after killing another person in Texas, ICE is involved in another fatal shooting in Maine. ICE is out of control. Not one more penny for ICE until there’s transparency, accountability, and justice. www.cnn.com/2026/07/13/u...

Americans have spent nearly $70 billion on heightened gas prices while farmers and small businesses cannot do long-term planning. This war continues to be a costly blunder that has only made us worse off than before. 2/2

Trump's inconsistent action over the Strait of Hormuz is not a negotiating tactic – it's expensive for Americans and a threat to the global economy. A staggering 20% fee will drive up the cost of daily goods, from fertilizer for our farms to toys for our kids. 1/2

The FHA's multifamily loan limits haven't been updated since 2003. Construction costs have. That gap is choking apartment supply nationwide, and it's a big reason your rent keeps going up. I teamed up with a Republican to fix the math. Get builders back to building. Now it's law.

It was clear from the beginning that this "Anti-Weaponization Fund" was nothing more than a corrupt attempt to funnel taxpayer money to Trump's allies, and I'm glad to see that Trump won't get away with it.

Good news: A federal judge just ruled that Trump's scheme to sue his own government and then reach a settlement to create a slush fund — which would have paid out his friends and even January 6 rioters with your tax dollars — was an illegal abuse of our justice system.

The damage is already being felt. Providers are warning of growing financial strain, and eight school-based health clinics in Southwest Virginia have recently closed their doors, leaving students without access to the care they depend on.

After Republicans passed their budget megabill last summer and let enhanced ACA subsidies expire, thousands of Virginians have lost or are at risk of losing their health coverage.

In order to help small manufacturers compete in an increasingly small and globalized world, I’m leading bipartisan legislation to require the Department of Commerce to release funding that is essential to hundreds of thousands of manufacturers across the country.

Another person is killed after an encounter with ICE. Somewhere along the way, we stopped seeing our neighbors as people deserving of dignity and compassion. We cannot let this become who we are.

ICE is terrorizing our communities, separating families, and killing innocent people. A new facility in Hudson will make a horrible situation even worse. We’re fighting against this detention center and for basic answers from this lawless agency. www.denverpost.com/2026/07/13/c...

A federal judge just called out Trump's "settlement" for what it really was: a shameless attempt to rubber stamp his $1.8 billion slush fund and grant his family audit immunity for past tax returns. This is blatant corruption, and the courts are seeing right through it.

ICE has shot and killed another person — the second death in two weeks. This is beyond horrific. ICE is terrorizing our communities, and Republicans in Congress voted to send the rogue agency more blank checks. Enough. The Senate must stop ICE’s violence.

OMB’s proposed rule is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to weaponize federal funding for their own partisan and destructive goals. It is illegal and would irreparably harm recipients of federal funding and the people they serve. We must ensure it is scrapped entirely.

This is long overdue, and much more needs to be done — and I will be working to get more answers at the hearing this week. The families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti — and all of Minnesota — deserve accountability and justice.

For months, the feds withheld evidence in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. I’ve pressed the DOJ to release those records to the State investigators, including at a recent meeting. We understand that they are now sharing information with Minnesota investigators.

Since the President started his war in Iran, families in New Hampshire have had to pay nearly $600 more for gas. And now, with President Trump restarting the war, the burden on families across my state will only get worse.

I was proud to be in Colorado supporting candidates who will help us change the direction of our country. We need to re-elect John Hickenlooper and Jason Crow — and flip critical Republican House seats by electing fighters like Eileen Luabacher, Manny Rutinel, and Jessica Killin.

ICE is still gunning people down in our streets. It is a moral tragedy that this has become commonplace in our country. Do not let anyone convince you that it has to be this way. This is a choice.

Trump has failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz so now he wants to take it over and charge ships to use it. Not only is this illegal, it’s a recipe for endless war with Iran and higher gas prices. We should not be the world’s police force. Get out of the Strait. End the war. Now.

Trump is endorsing a forever war in the Middle East. He is setting billions of your taxpayer dollars on fire over a war America doesn't support, and Americans are literally also paying the price at the pump. And Republicans are voting to let this war go on forever.

Trump has claimed that his war of choice is nearly over more than 30 times. Yet prices at the pump are rising, the Strait of Hormuz is closed, the U.S. and Iran are trading airstrikes, and a nuclear deal looks unlikely.

A scalding, blistering judicial opinion calling out Trump’s sham litigation, striking down his corrupt IRS immunity, and holding his sycophant lawyers to account. That’s a good start. Impeachment is next.
