Trump just requested a $1.5 TRILLION defense budget — almost $500 BILLION MORE than this year. Every dollar we spend on Trump's wars is a dollar that could go toward more affordable healthcare, childcare, housing & more. We cannot let this pass. www.npr.org/2026/04/03/n...

While the Trump admin kicks millions off of SNAP, the Summer EBT program I helped to establish has reached over 21 million kids nationwide. No kid in America should go hungry—it’s really that simple. I'll keep fighting tooth & nail to save SNAP and fight against child hunger.

I oppose Trump’s unjustified defense budget increase. The U.S. Department of Defense doesn’t lack funding, but it currently lacks responsible civilian leadership & management. My statement: www.reed.senate.gov/news/release...

Republicans already gutted Medicaid and health care and drove up costs; and now Trump wants to cut MORE. For what? For $1.5 TRILLION MORE dollars for an already bloated Pentagon budget. Including $185 billion for his idiotic Golden Dome. The Trump budget is insanity.

It has become far too difficult for Americans with diabetes to get the lifesaving insulin they need. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would cap insulin costs at $35 per month, ensuring Americans aren’t bankrupted just trying to stay alive. I will fight hard to pass this bill into law.

ICE put in a request for local police to hold this refugee and keep him from his family beyond his release date. But no one at DHS took responsibility or provided him with even a basic level of compassion. Deaths like these are the tragic results of this Administration’s cruelty.

Donald Trump wants $1.5 TRILLION of your taxpayer dollars — a 40 percent increase in defense spending — to help support his war with Iran. Meanwhile, he says we can’t afford Medicare and Medicaid, and wants to gut your health care. No way. No how. We will fight this.

For the second time, the Senate sent the House of Representatives a bipartisan deal to fund critical parts of the Dept. of Homeland Security, ensure employees get paid, and end the Republican shutdown. And for the second time, House Republicans chose to prolong this shutdown.

Closing over 400 hospitals because of Trump’s Big, Ugly Betrayal Act means life or death for families across the country. We should be making health care easier to access, not harder.

Trump's budget request: ➡️ Massive increase in military funding so Trump and Hegseth can attack any country they choose ➡️ Massive cuts to programs that the American people rely on War first, America last.

Here’s the latest Wall Street play. Step 1: Promote a new shadowy financial product. Step 2: Lobby the Trump Admin to roll back safeguards and shove private credit into Americans’ 401(k)s. Step 3: When it goes south, get out fast while leaving families holding the bag.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran has already killed American servicemembers & innocent civilians. Gas prices are sky-high and now, Hawaii families will see their power bills rise from between $40–70/month. The costs of Trump’s reckless decision to start this war keep growing.

Virginians have paid $254 million more at the pump because of Trump’s war of choice in Iran. Working families were already struggling with the rising cost-of-living. Many can’t afford this. I’ll keep doing all I can to end this unnecessary war and lower costs.

Trump promised to keep us out of foreign wars & focus on helping Americans here at home. Now, he says we can't lower costs for Americans because we need to keep funding his & Netanyahu's war of choice against Iran. He must be held accountable.

Trump can lie all he wants, but working families know the truth: groceries, gas, & electricity are getting more expensive—and it's because of his tariffs, the war he started, and his billionaire-first policies.

During Holy Week, and for the first time in our nation’s history, Secretary Hegseth fired the head of the Army Chaplain Corps, Major General William Green, without explanation. General Green is a decorated leader who tended to our military’s spiritual health with honor and distinction.

Sec. Hegseth fired over 20 top generals and admirals, including a top Army general who served 7 presidents this week. Purging generals to settle personal or political vendettas is what happens in China or Russia, not America. I broke down why this is dangerous back in November:

So his unjustified war in the Middle East spikes everyone’s energy bills… and his answer is to cut energy assistance for Americans who are bearing the brunt of the spikes… to keep funding the war. Got it.

This budget isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. Congress still controls the purse. Coloradans want affordable and accessible health care, our public lands protected, and American leadership in science and innovation. We won’t stop fighting for Colorado priorities.
