House Republicans continue to extend the DHS shutdown for no reason. This morning, the Senate UNANIMOUSLY passed a bill to fund everything at DHS besides ICE & Border Patrol AGAIN. The House could have passed this TODAY. Speaker Johnson—stop playing games & pass this bill ASAP.

Yesterday, Congressional Republicans announced that they finally agreed to stop obstructing a bill that would end the TSA & FEMA shutdown. But today, House Republicans chose NOT to pass the bill they JUST agreed on. Because of their chaos government employees will continue to miss their paychecks.

The price of U.S. crude oil has risen by more than 40%, and the average price of gasoline has risen by more than a dollar per gallon as a result of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and war in Iran.

Minnesota will never forget Pam Bondi’s interference in the investigations into the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of federal agents. That will always be a stain on her record.

Prediction markets are unlawfully disregarding CT gambling laws, driving up addiction, youth gambling, & fraud. Kalshi & the CFTC might scheme & sue, but I look forward to CT beating this lawsuit.

CFTC Chair Selig promised he’d stay out of CT & other states’ lawsuits over prediction markets. Instead, he’s shown himself a crony of Kalshi, using the CFTC to bully states on their behalf. www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/Pr...

Our firefighters risk their lives defending our homes, families in and businesses, when they run toward the danger. @padilla.senate.gov and I welcomed some of California's very own to the Capitol to express our continued support for their efforts.

The cost of gas is skyrocketing, and families need relief. I released a new report this morning about how American families have paid $8.4 billion in increased gas prices since President Trump started his reckless war in Iran. www.cbsnews.com/news/gas-pri...

This Administration is spending billions on a war with no strategy instead of lowering people’s health care and child care costs.

One year ago, Trump imposed illegal tariffs on nearly 100 countries and you ended up paying for it. That’s why I’m working to make sure that you get the refunds.

President Trump’s tariff taxes have hurt American farmers, businesses, and families. On the one-year anniversary of the President’s so-called “Liberation Day,” it is clear that the President’s tariffs have accomplished nothing but create hardships for working families.

Trump is right, we can either pay for “daycare, Medicaid, Medicare all these things," or we can pay for more war. Every dollar we spend on this illegal war of choice, is a dollar that could have helped improve life right here at home. He's telling us what he cares about more.

This is a tough time for Michigan's family farmers. I hear their uncertainty every day. And I know there is more to be done. I appreciate the Secretary's engagement on this issue, and encourage all eligible Michigan farmers to apply. www.fsa.usda.gov/news-events/...

Earlier this week, USDA announced that specialty crop farmers will have an extension until April 24 to submit their 2025 acreage to USDA. This is an important step to make sure our smallest and most diversified farmers can apply for this funding.

Last week, I spoke directly with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins to outline my concern that Michigan's specialty crop farmers are being unfairly treated as part of UDSA’s farmer assistance package.

Trump's DOJ just ended its prosecution of the bank that helped Iran dodge U.S. sanctions, as what looks like a favor to his dictator buddy Erdogan. Trump sacrificed U.S. servicemembers' lives and spiked gas prices to attack Iran, but he lets Iran's bankers off scot-free. It's all a grift.

Today, I visited Foodbank of SE VA and the Eastern Shore to celebrate federal funding I secured for its new facility. I also had a productive discussion with leaders in the region working to address food insecurity. It's clear we still have more to do, especially after the GOP slashed SNAP benefits.

This is exactly why I’ve fought back against these reckless tariffs at every turn — and now that the Supreme Court has ruled many of them illegal, it’s time for this Administration to pay Coloradans back.

President Trump promised that Liberation Day tariffs would bring back jobs and lower prices for American families. One year later, prices are up, families are struggling, and small businesses are facing increasing uncertainty. www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...

One year after President Trump’s “Liberation Day,” it is clear: Trump’s tariff policies failed. Families in Maryland are paying on average $1,744 more because of these tariffs. We are living through an affordability crisis thanks to this Administration’s ineptitude.

Hundreds of thousands of veterans rely on the Post-9/11 GI Bill program to pay for higher education, but we haven't raised the stipends for books and supplies since 2008. We want to fix that so our veterans receive increased financial support in the face of rising costs.

Great to be in Kingman with veterans at my town hall. What I keep hearing across Arizona is the same: they're worried about VA benefits and the care they earned. Real concerns. I promise, I'll keep showing up.

Pam Bondi turned our Department of Justice into the Department of Corruption, protecting pedophiles and going after Trump's enemies list at the expense of the American people. Good riddance. Now, fire Hegseth.

Owning a home shouldn’t just be a dream, yet I constantly hear from Wisconsinites who say it’s simply out of reach. I was with NeighborWorks in Green Bay to discuss these challenges and the bill I just voted for to make housing more affordable.

One year since so-called "Liberation Day" and the results are in. Everything has gotten more expensive while American manufacturing jobs disappear. I would submit that it's a strange liberation and a curious freedom that raises prices and leaves you unemployed.

But she did such a great job covering up the Epstein Files...

Bondi is out. She blatantly used the Justice Department to retaliate against Trump’s political enemies, but even she didn’t go far enough for him. It’s hard to imagine what might come next, but it can’t be good.

Pam Bondi did everything she could to prevent the Epstein files from being made public while using the Department of Justice to go after Donald Trump’s political opponents. She did nothing to stand for the rule of law — instead shielding Trump from accountability. She won't be missed.

Exciting to watch the historic NASA Artemis II launch yesterday! I had the honor of meeting these inspiring astronauts a few years ago, and I look forward to following their journey around the moon. This launch is a reminder to us all to shoot for the moon & dream big! 🚀🌙

We urgently need to lower energy costs for American families. My draft Ratepayer Roadmap outlines a path to do exactly that: directly cut bills, build more clean energy, and stop Big Oil from rigging the system to make even more profits. Learn more:

Estoy feliz de que mi proyecto de ley para mejorar los pronósticos meteorológicos haya pasado el comité, y seguiré trabajando para que este proyecto se convierta en ley para ayudar a nuestros agricultores.

Mientras que los eventos extremos climáticos se vuelven más comunes y menos predecibles, es necesario que invirtamos en el mejoramiento de los pronósticos meteorológicos, para que nuestras comunidades locales puedan prepararse mejor.

It's clear Trump will continue to use the DOJ, an independent agency, for his political benefit and whoever he appoints as Attorney General will follow his illegal direction. I will keep pushing DOJ to follow the law and hold those accountable for illegal acts against our state and our people.

AG Pam Bondi has been using her office to repeatedly attack Colorado to advance the President's political agenda and exact retribution. I opposed her nomination from the beginning; and since, I have worked to fight DOJ's attacks on Colorado and other states.

One month ago, the President said the war in Iran would last 4-5 weeks. It’s been a month and now we’re being told just a couple more weeks. The President got us into yet another war in the Middle East with no exit plan.

A year ago was Donald Trump's "Liberation Day." What's happened since? - Families have paid $1,700 in higher costs - 89,000 manufacturing jobs lost - Global investment in U.S. hit its lowest since COVID And no tariff refunds in sight for Americans, just the bill.

It’s been one year since the Administration's so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs — and the result? Higher costs for families, fewer markets for our farmers, and more uncertainty for small businesses.
