They want to take away people’s health care to pay for their war in Iran while gas prices are spiraling as a result? That is just upside down for what Americans need right now.

This weekend, Sen. Ossoff led his 5th annual Military Service Academy Day at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, where high school students and their families learned more about the application and nomination process for the five U.S. Service Academies.

DOGE's chaotic efforts did nothing but put Americans at risk and WASTE BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars. Any attempt to justify the ill conceived plans or execution of DOGE is simply laughable.

Republicans want to pay for Trump’s illegal war on Iran and for ICE thugs to terrorize communities by cutting health care. Again. It’s not complicated—Americans don’t want bombs—they want affordable health care and for their neighbors to be safe.

Measles is spreading. Kids are dying from flu. Vaccines are in legal limbo. But Trump and RFK blew past the deadline to nominate a CDC director after pushing out the last one. Americans deserve real leadership—not chaos.

REMINDER: The Senate unanimously passed funding for TSA four days ago. House Republicans refused to even vote on it. Speaker Johnson, this is on you—stop holding TSA funding HOSTAGE.

If Republicans think they can sneak through a bill when nobody is looking to give even MORE money to ICE without meaningful reforms, I’ll rush back from Delaware to object as many times as it takes.

What's one sentence voters should remember about our country under Trump? Your cost of living is way too high, because he doesn't give a rat's ass about you.

The first time they hiked your health care costs, it was to fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. This time, it’s to bankroll a $200B war in Iran. Priorities matter. This is wrong.

When the Trump Admin announced a new rule that would’ve resulted in drastic benefit cuts for disabled veterans, I joined veterans across the country in calling on the VA to overturn it.🧵

I will hold Secretary Mullin to his word to come visit the Roxbury warehouse that ICE purchased. I can think of far better things we could be spending half a billion dollars on.

As cracks emerge in private credit, private equity returns fall to 16-year lows, and crypto keeps tumbling, Trump has decided now is the time to stick these risky assets into Americans’ 401(k)s. Another day, another Trump policy putting Wall Street first – and workers last.

31 days ago, Trump started a war of choice in Iran, and we still don’t know why, or for how long, or how it ends. What we do know: 13 American troops are dead, hundreds are injured, and thousands more are headed to the region.

Republicans in Congress and the Trump Administration are ripping away access to reproductive care from veterans who dedicated their lives to serving our nation.

Republicans in Congress could have worked with Democrats to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, but they refused. Now, Americans are being forced to choose between eating a meal or going to the doctor. Washington Republicans should be ashamed of themselves.

New Mexico Wild was in my office last week to talk about protecting the Gila River – one of our state’s most treasured landscapes. I’m fighting to protect our lands, safeguard our rivers, and make sure New Mexico’s natural heritage is preserved for generations to come.

Russia is actively helping Iran target U.S. forces & assets. Donald Trump’s lifting of oil sanctions on Russia & Iran has enriched both countries & enabled their malign activities.

Republicans want to sell the SAVE Trump Act as a voter ID bill. But that is not the reality. From requiring birth certificates to $165 passports, their bill would create expensive obstacles that would bar MILLIONS of eligible voters from participating in our upcoming elections.

Any time House Republicans make phony claim that Dems are uncommitted to strong homeland security, remind them: The DHS funding bill they are insulting was UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED BY REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED SENATE. House Republicans are fooling no one but themselves.

By blocking the bipartisan DHS bill that unanimously passed U.S. Senate, the House GOP is needlessly forcing homeland security personnel to go unpaid and hindering critical work of agencies such as FEMA and CISA (which Trump previously tried to eliminate and undermine).

Rather than enforce the law, the CFTC Chair is greenlighting sports betting in prediction markets — even though it should be up to the states to decide. Sen. Curtis and I have a new bipartisan bill to ban these illegal contracts & eliminate this backdoor.

Gas prices continue to soar because of Trump’s reckless war with Iran. The American people didn’t ask for this—and most can’t afford it. NO war with Iran.

We live in the wealthiest country in the world. There’s no reason 2 in 5 adults should be burdened with medical debt. Every American deserves health care that is affordable, accessible, and universal.

In 2022, Democrats passed landmark legislation to cap the cost of insulin at $35 for Medicare beneficiaries. Now, I’m joining my colleagues in introducing a bipartisan bill to do the same for those with private insurance. I’ll keep working to bring down prescription drug costs for all Nevadans.

Five years ago, we witnessed the immense heroism of Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police, and other law enforcement officers who protected Congress on January 6. This week, we gathered to honor their contributions and bravery with a new tribute in the Capitol Building.

The President cut your health care so that he could build a paramilitary force that is accountable only to him. It’s alarming and it’s wrong.

The Trump Admin is trying to end automatic work permit extension for already vetted immigrants with legal status, forcing them to stop working or be fired by their employer. I’m fighting back against this ill-conceived rule that will only harm our economy and hurt thousands of hardworking families.

A reckless trade war. USDA grants frozen or cancelled. And now, Trump’s war in Iran is raising fertilizer costs. These are the challenges that I’ve been hearing from Wisconsin farmers for the past year — and it’s all thanks to President Trump. www.wpr.org/news/iran-wa...

We’ve always known Trump is an impatient bully. He’d rather strong-arm other nations instead of engaging in diplomacy. He’s attacked multiple and has said Cuba is “next.” While he’s focused on wars, folks at home can’t afford gas or groceries. This needs to stop.

It's not easy to get 100 U.S. Senators in full agreement. But every Senator from every state agreed to put the safety & security of the American people first & UNANIMOUSLY passed a bipartisan DHS bill to help secure the homeland. Now, House GOP is refusing to vote.

Is anyone surprised that DOGE’s mass job firings and funding cuts led to major disruptions in health care services for Nevada veterans? Our veterans deserve better and we need to identify and address the full impact of Trump’s cuts on veterans services.

Republicans don't seem too concerned about our national deficit now that the U.S. is spending billions on Trump's war of choice with Iran. Why is it that when it comes to health care, we can't afford it—but when it comes to a war with no clear objective, we suddenly have the cash?

Private equity landlords have a track record of jacking up rents and evicting tenants. I’m pressing the biggest corporate landlords for data to get to the bottom of their business practices.
