Numbers don't lie. Homeownership is out of reach for a lot of families. Congress could be investing in programs to help make housing more affordable—but instead, Trump is spending billions on a war with no clear endgame.

This flippant response is absolutely unacceptable from the Commander in Chief. 11 days into Trump's war with Iran and he still cannot give the American people a clear answer on why he started this war and how long it will last.

Trump promised to lower prices on day one. Instead, he's caused a massive spike in gas prices with his reckless war with Iran. When it comes to broken promises, it does not get more blatant than that. And YOU are paying for it.

So Trump wants to keep the option of drafting other people's kids into war on the table. All for a war of choice as he spends billions on bombs and cuts funding for health care here at home. This could NOT be more wrong—Congress should END the war in Iran & FUND health care.

We are a secular democracy. If you don't like the freedom of religion, you are welcome to move somewhere else. In America, you can be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or anything else. It's written into our Constitution. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Get lost with this garbage.

Scores of children were killed at school. A deeply horrific killing because of a war of choice. Secretary Hegseth cannot sweep this under the rug. There needs to be a full and impartial investigation—we need answers and then accountability.

Trump knows his kids & grandkids won't have to fight this war with Iran that he's sending Americans into. He knows higher prices at the grocery store & gas pump won't affect him. It's American families that will pay the price for Trump's reckless decisions.

America’s top doctor shouldn’t be someone who peddles junk science to get rich off a grift. Casey Means can’t even practice medicine. I will vote NO on her confirmation.

Republicans CHOSE to cut $1 trillion from Medicaid. They CHOSE not to extend the ACA tax credits to keep your premiums down. They said it was too expensive. And yet, Republicans are completely fine with a reckless war with Iran that's costing billions.
- PM
Democrats want to get TSA agents paid, but we won't help Republicans cut a blank check to help Stephen Miller terrorize Americans. And I won’t let Trump blackmail Democrats into funding rogue ICE agents just because he started a war with Iran.

Bombs don't bring democracy. Trump is risking American lives with no plan for what comes next in Iran–risking another “forever” war where the American people pay the price.

- PM
We could be lowering the cost of health care, but instead Trump is spending BILLIONS on his reckless war with Iran. Trump is blowing YOUR taxpayer dollars on war & causing gas prices to spike while he's at it.

Did you see Ilana's story on the Pitt? Too many survivors of rape are turned away from hospitals that don't provide rape kits because there aren't enough nurses like Dana. I wrote & passed into law resources to train more staff to treat survivors and help them get justice.

What the hell. We've gone from "this isn't a war" and it's not about regime change to "wars can be fought forever" and will be fought until unconditional surrender and Trump personally picks Iran's leadership.

British Columbia is switching their clocks for the last time this Sunday. There's a lot going on in the world right now, but there is NO reason to not make daylight saving time permanent. Congress should pass my bill to finally lock the clock.

If Republicans are going to waste time deposing Hillary Clinton, it's well past time Congress gets some answers out of President Trump. This man was a close friend of Epstein, he was found civilly liable of sexual assault, and his name appears in the files more than 38k times.

Trump promised to deliver Americans: "lower prices" and "no new wars." When it comes to broken promises—it does not get more blatant than that. And it's costing you, literally.

Republicans have decided they would rather shut down DHS than work with us to rein in CBP & ICE. Republicans know full well that Democrats want to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA and cyber security. I tried to pass a bill to do just that today—and Republicans blocked it!

A reporter asked me what Trump was thinking when he fired Kristi Noem. I have NO idea what is going through that man's head—I just know no one will miss her. Two Americans were shot and killed on her watch. We need accountability and reform.
video
- PM
History will remember Kristi Noem for her corruption and the sheer cruelty & chaos she unleashed on our streets. Good riddance, but Congress should not tolerate more of the same from whoever comes next. We need accountability and reform for ICE and Border Patrol.

BREAKING: I tried to pass a bill to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA as Democrats push for common sense reforms to protect Americans from being killed by untrained and masked DHS agents. Guess what? Republicans BLOCKED it.

War is not some game. Our troops are not toy soldiers. Civilian casualties are not nothing. NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND. NO WAR WITH IRAN.
- PM
I just voted to END Trump's war with Iran. America should not sacrifice the lives of our servicemembers or billions in taxpayer dollars in another forever war. NO WAR.

- PM
Our country does not want more Americans killed because of a reckless President that a Republican Congress refused to check. I just voted to END this war with Iran, and I urge my colleagues to join me.

Trump has no problem sending other people's kids off to war. But you know what he does have a problem with? Picking up the tab when they come home. We don't need a forever war with Iran, we need more nurses and doctors at the VA.

War should be the last resort. Democrats will keep fighting to lowering costs for working families ahead of starting costly, unnecessary wars.
video

Trump sent our servicemembers into a war of choice from his beach club in Florida. With no clear objectives or any sense of an endgame. And without any authorization from Congress—no public hearings, no justification to the American people. I will vote to end this war.
- PM
Trump’s war will easily cost more than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits. Republicans are telling the American people—there is always money for war, always money for billionaire tax breaks. Just never any money for health care or families here at home.
- PM
I am not going to vote to cut a blank check for ICE and let them detain, brutalize, shoot, or kill more American citizens just because Donald Trump started an unconstitutional war that no one asked for.
- PM
Trump sent our kids into a war of choice from his beach club in Florida. Americans do not want another endless, costly war in the Middle East. They want health care and lower prices.
video
- PM
Not only is Trump costing taxpayers billions and risking American lives for a war of choice—he has also failed to adequately prepare for the evacuation of American civilians in the region. A disaster and failure of catastrophic consequence.

It is obscene to suggest that we are going to fight Trump's war of choice "FOREVER." Congress must vote to end this immediately. NO WAR WITH IRAN.

There was no immediate threat from Iran, and there is still no clear objective. Congress must immediately vote to end Trump's war with Iran.
- PM
Republicans need to grow a spine and vote with Democrats to put an END to Trump's war with Iran. The American people want Congress to focus on lowering prices. They want their tax dollars going toward health care, not another costly and deadly war in the Middle East.
- PM
No. American soldiers dying in an unjustified war of choice is NOT just "the way it is." This is a disgraceful way to talk about the cost of war. This is no Commander in Chief.

The notion that Democrats must now help Republicans cut a blank check for ICE because Trump started a war with Iran that no one asked for is as cynical & absurd as it gets. Democrats want to protect America's national security AND protect Americans from an out-of-control DHS.

If Trump won't rule out boots on the ground, then Congress needs to. NO BOOTS ON THE GROUND. NO WAR WITH IRAN.

No war with Iran. There was no imminent threat. There is no clear objective. I will NOT support a war of choice that puts American lives in harm’s way.
- PM
My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the servicemembers we’ve lost as well as those who are seriously wounded. The cost of war is real and devastating. I hope my colleagues will keep that in mind.

Congress must return immediately and vote to put an end to this war. Every Senator should be on the record—the American people deserve to know which of their leaders supports another potentially bloody and costly war in the Middle East. No war with Iran.

Our country welcomes a refugee with open arms. He is then wrongfully detained by DHS and dropped off miles from home in the cold of winter. He is blind and doesn't speak English. This was practically a death sentence. Shah Alam's family deserves answers and justice.

Hardworking families are struggling to afford health care and put food on the table thanks to Trump, while he and his family exploit the Oval Office for billions Trump is the most corrupt president in our history—and he and his family are positively gleeful about it.

Trump is rigging the system so the biggest corporations can misclassify workers to block them from getting minimum wage and overtime. It's an outright grift & workers should be furious. Republicans will pass tax breaks for billionaires and then stiff workers for good measure.

In less than 24 hours, Trump went from saying he'll never cut Medicaid (he already passed the largest cut in history last year) to holding the program hostage for an entire state. Trump is using the most vulnerable people in our communities as political pawns. It's disgusting.

NEW! From the same clueless Republicans who brought you doubling premiums: $31,000 deductibles. Only an out of touch billionaire would think that counts as affordable.

If you think BIRTH CONTROL pills are “a disrespect of life,” and can’t just say birth control is safe and effective for the overwhelming majority of women with your whole chest, you should NOT be America’s top doctor. I'm voting NO on Casey Means for Surgeon General.
video
- PM
Trump's State of the Union was way too long, but more importantly, it was a reminder that Americans are paying more—literally—thanks to his broken promises. That health care plan? Surging premiums, Medicaid cuts, and hospitals closing. Lowering prices on day one? Look around.

- PM
The reality of Trump's "Golden Age" is that the average family is paying $1,700 MORE because of his tariffs. That's a Trump tax we're all living with.

Millions of moms struggle with depression during their pregnancy. America deserves a Surgeon General who can state plainly that SSRIs are SAFE for the majority of pregnant women. We don't need more junk science charlatans. I'm voting NO on Casey Means' confirmation.
