Despite the Trump administration’s claims of a weak Iran, reports are coming out that they retain much of their military capabilities. The president is more than 70 days into this war, and what does he have to show for it?

One in five people who bought their health insurance on the federal ACA exchange dropped their coverage this year. Democrats warned this would happen and tried to negotiate extending the premium discounts. Republics refused, and now working families are paying the price.

The Supreme Court's recent decision on the Voting Rights Act is supercharging President Trump's effort to redraw districts and try to create a permanent Republican majority. We must ban partisan gerrymandering and restore the Voting Rights Act.

I just forced a vote to protect Americans from predatory medical debt. The Trump administration is making it easier for debt collectors to go after sick and struggling Americans. That's just cruel and unfair.

Millions of Americans are balancing the demands of raising children while caring for their agents parents – they fall into what's known as the "Sandwich Generation." 1/3

I just voted YES on a resolution to end the war in Iran. They are spending billions of your tax dollars on this war while stripping health care away from millions at home. It's a failure of leadership to the highest degree.

Arizona’s skilled workforce is built with hard work, discipline, and apprenticeship programs like the one at Boilermakers Local 627. Got to meet with trainees, tour the weld shop, and even try my hand at welding!

Today, for the seventh time, Senate Republicans voted against a War Powers Resolution that would end Trump's illegal war. A war that has already cost $29 billion and driven up the cost of gas to $4.50 a gallon. Once again, Republicans chose Trump over the American people.

We did not have a plan when we started this war with Iran. Now, even if the Strait of Hormuz opened up tomorrow, it could still be months or years before prices come down on critical things like fertilizer or oil.

We’ve made great strides towards reducing the stigma around mental health, but there’s more we can do to help those who are struggling. This Mental Health Awareness Month, let’s keep up the fight to expand mental health resources for Granite Staters and all Americans.

Last year, nearly 600,000 Americans paid $100 deposits to get a Trump Mobile phone. Not a single person received one. Where’d their money go? This looks like another Trump scam.

3-5 years is too long. Northern Arizona's tourism economy is tied to the health of our forests. We need to restore what the White Sage and Dragon Bravo fires took, and we need to do it fast.

The health care fight is personal for me. I battled a childhood illness and was denied coverage – at any cost – because of my “pre-existing condition.” This is a step in the wrong direction – we can and must do better for working families. www.notus.org/healthcare/a...

With new routes and terminal investments, MidAmerica St. Louis Airport experienced significant passenger growth over the past year. Today, I met with leadership from the airport to discuss how federal investment can best support the Airport.

Donald Trump suing the IRS for $10 billion is just the latest example of him using the presidency to enrich himself and his family. This is a man who went years without paying federal income taxes, yet now wants billions more while hardworking Americans struggle to make ends meet.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created to protect Americans from dishonest corporations. But Trump has done everything he can to destroy the agency to shield his billionaire allies from accountability. I’m joining @warren.senate.gov on the Senate floor to fight for working families.

As we've seen high energy prices exacerbated by the President's war in Iran, I asked Secretary Wright why he's proposing to eliminate funding for successful energy efficiency programs that are saving my constituents hundreds on their energy bills.

Working families are struggling more than ever to afford basic goods. They need a central bank that will fight for them, not the President & billionaires. I am not convinced that Warsh has the willingness to do what is best for the American people. For that reason, I voted no on his nomination.

The meteoric rise in popularity of DraftKings & FanDuel matches an exponential growth in underage gambling. This dangerous double punch threatens a new generation with gambling addiction. We urgently need safeguards in place like my SAFE Bet & GRIT Acts.

While Trump & Hegseth ask Congress for a $1.5 TRILLION war budget, they won’t tell Congress the full cost of the Iran war. Families want relief at the pump, not another payday for defense CEOs & they deserve to know how much has already been blown on Trump’s war of choice.

Washington Republicans want to give Donald Trump $1 BILLION of your tax dollars for his ballroom. It's National Police Week, and that money could be better used to fund our law enforcement.

Big Tobacco donated to President Trump with the expectation of favorable treatment. Boy, did Trump deliver. For the first time in history, FDA has approved flavored e-cigarettes, despite the known risk to kids, and allowed countless other illegal vapes to remain available to kids indefinitely.

Enough of the chaos. Enough of the lies. Enough of dragging America toward an illegal war that the American people never asked for. I’ve been against Trump’s war in Iran since day one. Just now, I voted AGAIN to put an end to it. Republicans just blocked it for the SEVENTH time.

Workers at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard deserve to know that their concerns are being taken seriously by the Federal Labor Relations Authority. I'm calling on the agency to explain why it has refused to process a complaint filed by members of the Shipyard's Metal Trades Council.
