Republicans in Congress want to cut Americans' health care to pay for more war in Iran. Let that sink in.

Late last night, the Senate finally passed legislation funding TSA, FEMA, and other critical DHS components. Here's where we go from here.

Deputy AG Blanche says he "cleaned house" at the FBI, removing anyone involved in prosecutions against Trump. This is how dictators act. The DOJ & FBI aren't the president’s attack dogs. They’re supposed to work for the people against the corruption that Trump represents.

Senate Democrats have been trying for weeks to fund the areas of the Dept. of Homeland Security where we have agreement while we continue fighting for ICE guardrails. ⬇️

Trump’s delusional denial of Jan 6 is infectious—installing a plaque honoring courageous Capitol police in the dead of night & force feeding judicial nominees canned responses. Their spineless falsehoods show they’re unfit for the federal bench, lacking independence & integrity.

Let’s be clear: Republicans have voted against Democrats’ proposals to pay TSA agents and fund FEMA and the Coast Guard 14 times. They control the Senate, the House and the White House—and have had every opportunity to end the pain of this shutdown.

Virginians want lower prices. But Trump’s chaotic war is driving up all kinds of costs, from gas and airline tickets, to package deliveries. www.axios.com/2026/03/26/u...

I joined Senator Blackburn to reintroduce our bipartisan Rural America Health Corps Act. This bill would provide new funding and support for rural communities so we can attract & retain doctors, nurses, physician assistants, dentists, & behavioral health specialists in every corner of our state.

President Trump claimed that his tariffs would revitalize manufacturing in the United States—100,000 lost manufacturing jobs tell a different story. The President's tariffs have done nothing except hurt our economy, leaving small businesses and hardworking families behind.

For weeks I have worked alongside my fellow Democrats to fund TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard, and more. I was clear we could do that without sending another penny to ICE. Finally in the dead of night, Republicans agreed.

NEW BILL 🚨 I introduced new legislation to invest in preventing youth homelessness and it’s got serious bipartisan support. Let’s commit to ensuring that every kid in America has a safe place to call home.

For over a month, Democrats fought to pay TSA, FEMA & Coast Guard workers. Republicans blocked every attempt — until airports descended into chaos. This deal doesn't go far enough, but it ensures federal workers get paid and airports stay open — without any funds for ICE or CBP.

It’s a big problem when military leaders won't engage with a question about how Trump has changed his reasons for why we're at war with Iran.

This is what I’ve been fighting for: fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard while giving Republicans time to meet Americans’ demands for basic reforms to ICE and Border Patrol. I’m glad Republicans came to their senses, but it’s time to rein in the chaos and lawlessness of ICE.

Pres. Trump’s national security advisers warned him that attacking Iran could shut down the Strait of Hormuz. He did it anyway. Now the White House is scrambling to reopen it while our economy takes a hit, oil prices surge, and Trump's war expands.

Breaking and got done at 2:30 a.m.: Senate agrees to fund most of DHS, including TSA and FEMA, Coast Guard and CISA (cyber) but not ICE. FACTS: “The speedy agreement was surprising given Dems had requested it with Republicans objecting each time.” thehill.com/homenews/sen...

This morning, after 42 days, Republicans finally agreed to what we've been proposing for weeks — funding TSA, FEMA, & the Coast Guard without giving another penny to Trump's lawless ICE & Border Patrol operations. My full statement:

After over a month of delay, Senate Republicans finally came forward to do what we’ve been pushing for — fund TSA, Coast Guard, and other key elements of DHS while we keep pushing for reforms to ICE and CBP. The House needs to get it done ASAP.

As a member of the Agriculture Committee, I was glad to talk with Secretary Brooke Rollins this week. We spoke about economic assistance for specialty crops, how the war in Iran is impacting farmers and food, and the need for a bipartisan farm bill.

The price of coffee, ground beef, and so many other groceries is through the roof because of Trump’s tariff tax. His economic policies are creating hardship and stress for millions of Americans.

BREAKING: Republicans have relented to Democratic demands to fund the rest of DHS besides ICE & Border Patrol. No more holding TSA hostage. No blank check for ICE & Border Patrol. We need real reforms & accountability. I'll keep fighting for exactly that.

Trump’s cabinet thinks Venezuela is going to help us lower gas prices. But then, they also think the repressive regime there is going to erect a statue to Trump. And as you can see — that’s all he cares about.

Insiders make bets on military action, make a boatload of money, hundreds of thousands of dollars, and get away with it. My bill with Senator Young will stop that.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, but Trump’s tariff taxes are backbreaking. Since the start of Trump’s “Liberation Day,” the average small business importer paid $300,000 in tariffs. That’s unacceptable—the Trump admin must refund its illegal tariffs NOW.

As if Trump’s war making gas more expensive wasn’t enough, now shipping packages is about to get more costly for families.

A judge has paused Hegseth's efforts to punish Anthropic. Remember: This is a US company punished for not wanting their AI to kill without human involvement or be used for mass surveillance of Americans. These attacks are another shameless play by this lawless Admin. www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/03/...

The Senate unanimously passed our resolution honoring Master Sgt. Nicole Amor's memory and sacrifice. She was a loving wife and mother of two. She served our country for 20 years and was a beloved member of her community. She will never be forgotten.

As a former school superintendent, I saw firsthand how educators spend their own money to give kids what they need to succeed in the classroom. That's why I introduced the bipartisan SEED Act to help early childhood educators cover the cost of supplies, books, and other classroom materials.

Call me a radical, but NO. We should not be replacing teachers in America with robots. We should attract the best and brightest in our country to become teachers and pay them the decent wages that they deserve.

Instead of actually helping students, Trump & his billionaire Secretary of Education are lighting millions of taxpayer dollars on fire with these stunts. How about instead of abolishing the Department of Education, we just make sure kids can read at grade level?

Over their lifetimes, women on average will still make hundreds of thousands of dollars less than men for doing the same work— And the gender wage gap has increased for the second straight year. Fair is fair. We need equal pay for equal work.

While gas prices skyrocket and everything you buy becomes more expensive, Republicans’ top priority is trying to force through an unpopular voter suppression bill. They know they can’t win without it.

American taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for crop insurance companies and large farms to turn a profit on federal crop subsidies. My legislation would save Americans billions of dollars and increase transparency, all while getting help to the farmers who need it most.

Today, I met with Putnam & Clark County EMS chiefs Jackson and Bramlett to discuss how Congress can champion the work done by ambulance crews. I passed the SIREN Act in 2018 to fund equipment & recruitment for rural EMS agencies. I’m glad these grants are helping first responders answer the call.

Trump is spending billions of YOUR taxpayer dollars on a war of choice with Iran — and it's driving up the costs of everything from gas to groceries. Trump's response to families struggling to afford the high prices? "It didn't matter to me." Despicable.
