REMINDER: Republicans want to BAN abortion nationwide. They fought to ban your health insurance from covering abortion just this past summer. They aren't quitting. Every woman in America deserves full reproductive freedom—NO politicians in your doctor's office.

Trump's war of choice with Iran will keep driving up YOUR prices at the pump, at the grocery store, and just about everywhere else. American families don't want to pay higher prices to drop bombs on Iran in a war they didn't ask for. End the war with Iran NOW.

I'm on the Senate floor right now saying ICE & Border Patrol don't need more money—they need accountability. Americans are demanding SERIOUS reforms. So I'm voting NO on the GOP bill to shovel more money at ICE without real change. Instead, let's fund TSA—today—as we push ahead to rein in ICE.

Trump and Republicans' SAVE America Act is a disaster for democracy and I'm not going to let it get passed into law.
- PM
In Trump's America there is NO money to extend the ACA tax credits and prevent premiums from skyrocketing but there's always money for a war of choice with NO end in sight. Republicans CHOSE to let this happen—and working families are paying the price.

$200 billion for a war the American people oppose? NO WAY. Instead of blowing hundreds of billions on Trump's war of choice, we could save the ACA tax credits or make universal child care a reality—you name it. Congress must END this war and focus on FAMILIES here at home.

Republicans blocked Democrats' bill to pay TSA workers AGAIN. Then, they blocked our bill to fund all of DHS besides ICE & CBP...AGAIN. We've given Republicans every chance to solve this TODAY. They refuse unless Congress cuts a blank check to ICE. Not happening.
- PM
Republicans slashed Medicaid & food stamps for hungry kids to give ICE more money than most militaries. Then, Kristi Noem's right-hand man used that money to try to enrich himself with BRIBES. There needs to be hearings, and we need accountability for this historic corruption.

The average person is more likely to be struck by lightning than they are to commit voter fraud. Seriously. That's a real stat. I'm voting NO on the SAVE America Act.
- PM
ICE and Border Patrol are sitting on a Republican slush fund. But Republicans are holding TSA workers' paychecks hostage unless they can give ICE & CBP even more money without BASIC reforms to prevent masked federal agents from breaking into people's homes & hurting them.
- PM
Trump and Republicans' SAVE America Act isn't solving problems—it's creating them by making YOU shell out for IDs and documents like a birth certificate or passport. They want to make voting more expensive—and Democrats won't let them.

Nearly 70 million women have changed their names. Under Republicans' voter suppression bill, women may need to provide proof of citizenship AND documents to prove the name change, like a marriage certificate. If you ask me, that's not very pro-family of Republicans.
- PM
I just voted to END the war with Iran, but Republicans blocked our effort to stop this conflict. Why is there money for a war no one asked for, but no money for health care here at home? I'll keep voting to end this war again and again. NO WAR WITH IRAN.
- PM
BREAKING: Republicans ONCE AGAIN blocked our bill to simply pay TSA agents. This is the SEVENTH time Republicans have blocked our attempts to fund the rest of DHS while talks to rein in ICE continue.

Anti-abortion extremists have truly lost the plot: they introduced legislation based on the insane myth that medication abortions get into our water supply. You cannot make this stuff up. Their anti-woman crusade is as dangerous as it is reckless, and I will keep fighting back.

TSA agents could get paid TODAY if Republicans stopped blocking Democrats' bill. All of DHS could get funded THIS WEEK if Republicans agreed to basic ICE reforms. But they refuse. Republicans need to stop holding TSA workers' pay hostage to give more money to ICE & CBP.

Trump's tariffs and war of choice with Iran are driving up inflation and it's working families who are paying the price. What is the Republican Congress focused on? Passing a voter suppression law. End the war with Iran. End the tariffs. Lower prices here at home NOW.

Republicans have raised the cost of nearly everything—health care, groceries, gas, and now, even voting. Their SAVE "Trump" Act would nickel & dime Americans just trying to vote—sending them through one Republican roadblock after another. Democrats won't stand by & let it happen.

Our elections are FAIR & FREE. The only fraud is Trump and Republicans pushing this sham voter suppression bill because they broke their promises to the American people and are scared of the consequences.
- PM
Gas prices are increasing. Health care premiums have skyrocketed. Electricity bills are up. Groceries are more expensive. And instead of focusing on how to bring down costs, Trump is flippantly suggesting that he might use your taxpayer dollars and risk servicemember lives to TAKE OVER CUBA.

Trump has NO strategy for the war with Iran. But you don’t need to believe me – listen to him talk about it! Our women & men in uniform deserve better.

Trump promised to lower prices—but the reality is that he and his billionaire cronies do not care that Trump's reckless war with Iran is raising costs for families across the country—and they're literally saying so!

A top national security official resigns and confirms that Iran posed no imminent threat. Good riddance to Joe Kent, a disgraceful white supremacist, but that's a major public admission that there was NO justification for this war.

Trump is spending BILLIONS of your taxpayer dollars on a war with Iran that has no clear directive and no endgame.

If you are a: - married woman that changed your last name, - student that moved away to college, - senior & lifelong voter with mobility issues, Republicans' SAVE Act will make it HARDER and more EXPENSIVE for you to vote. Democrats will be fighting to keep our elections fair and FREE.
- PM
REMINDER: Democrats tried SIX TIMES to fund the parts of DHS that Congress agrees on—like paying TSA workers, FEMA, and cyber defense. Republicans blocked us every single time.
- PM
You do not go to war by having a press conference. It's on the President to show Congress and the American people that there is a real justification and endgame. Trump's done none of that. This war should end TODAY.

I am heartbroken to learn about the passing of Capt. Ariana G. Savino from Washington state. I am deeply grateful for her courage and sacrifice in service to our country. Remarkable women like Capt. Savino represent the absolute best of our state and country.

Sneakers have gotten me pretty far... fighting for child care, helping pass the Affordable Care Act, forcing Trump to sign a bill that completely rejected his budget request... We need more moms in tennis shoes in government—and less crooks in dress shoes. 👟👟

Americans shouldn't have to choose between putting food on the table and refilling a prescription. But instead of making health care more affordable, Trump is blowing billions on his war with Iran.

How long do Republicans want Americans to pay more and sacrifice for Trump's war of choice? How much do they think is an acceptable cost? Lower costs and no new wars. The President should end this war immediately.

Trump & Republicans made the largest cuts to health care in American history so that they could dole out tax breaks to billionaires and blow billions on another war in the Middle East. For Republicans, there's always money for war and the super-rich—but never money for you.

Democrats tried to fund: ➡️TSA ➡️Cyber defense ➡️Coast Guard ➡️FEMA ➡️Everything at DHS but ICE & Border Patrol Republicans blocked every single bill. Why? They want to give ICE & CBP more money without basic reforms. Not on my watch.

In 24 hours, Republicans have blocked FIVE attempts from Democrats to fund TSA, FEMA, our cyber defenses, & Coast Guard while talks continue to rein in ICE & Border Patrol. Republicans are holding TSA agents' paychecks hostage so they can give more $ to ICE, with no reforms.

My new bill to ensure basic wage and overtime protections for home care workers is just the start. I'll keep fighting to pass major pro-worker policies like: ✅raising the minimum wage ✅national paid leave ✅affordable child care ✅the PRO Act.

- PM
Instead of building on the most basic wage rights for home care workers, Trump wants to tear them down. I'm fighting back with a new bill to make sure the people who do the important work of home and domestic care get AT LEAST the same basic protections as other workers.
- PM
LIVE NOW: Home care workers make a world of difference for nearly 10 million Americans. I'm with @kim.senate.gov to introduce a bill that guarantees crucial minimum wage and overtime protections for home care workers and domestic workers. No loopholes. No exceptions.

Trump and Secretary Hegseth cannot blame anyone else for the bombing of an Iranian elementary school. They need to take responsibility and make sure it never happens again. This is a horrific tragedy and a deep moral stain on our history. There must be accountability.

Elon and his goons at DOGE broke our government from the inside out and rifled through sensitive data they had no business being near. And now, there are serious allegations that ex-employees stole it to use for their own purposes. Congress should throw the book at these crooks.

DHS agents killed American citizens in cold blood. They are terrorizing communities. Detaining and deporting CITIZENS. Democrats are just asking for basic accountability and reforms. And what is the Republican response? "Cry about it."

Republicans are trying to BAN medication abortion in all 50 states. They want to force women to give birth no matter the circumstances. Let me be clear: I'll be fighting to kill this bill. American women deserve full reproductive freedom and nothing less.

Stephen Miller is not above the Constitution. Trump is not a king who can sic an army of masked thugs on whatever city he wants to punish next. The American people are demanding reforms for ICE & CBP agents NOW.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked my bill to fund TSA and FEMA... AGAIN. This isn't complicated: if Republicans won't agree to rein in ICE & CBP, they should AT MINIMUM work with us to fund TSA. But they won't.
- PM
Republicans are CHOOSING to force TSA to work without pay—but it can end TODAY. I will try again to pass my bill to fund TSA and FEMA without cutting a blank check to ICE and Border Patrol. Republicans are the only thing standing in the way.

Trump may have no "yips" about boots on the ground, but I think committing American soldiers to a ground war is a serious escalation. NO boots on the ground. NO war with Iran.
- PM
In just 2 days, Trump burned $6 BILLION on his war with Iran. He's spent billions more in the days since. We could have DOUBLED our annual budget to help families afford child care. Or built more housing. Instead, Trump's spent YOUR tax dollars on a war no one asked for.
- PM
Our brave servicemembers will always answer the call and they have my unwavering gratitude and support. War is not a game, and right now, Trump is risking American lives on a war of choice with no clear objective or endgame. The men & women who serve deserve better.

ICYMI: Republicans BLOCKED my bill to fund TSA. Republicans are punishing travelers and forcing TSA agents to work without pay because they want to cut another blank check for ICE & Border Patrol. It's shameful.
