Trump is out-of-touch with reality. It’s simple: the American people don’t care about the bottom of the reflecting pool being painted or a White House ballroom. They care about being able to afford to put food on the table and get health care when they need it.

When FTC commissioners came before Congress last month, I called out their baseless attacks on gender‑affirming care. Now the courts have confirmed what we all know: the FTC is weaponizing its authority to go after trans kids. It’s despicable. Trans rights are human rights.

In Marshall, I met with local leaders, small business owners, and providers about the child care shortage. When parents can’t find care, businesses can’t find workers. We must be committed to expanding access and increasing affordability. www.marshallindependent.com/news/local-n...

In a world defined by differences, the Caja del Rio is our common ground. We want our children to experience the Caja as a living landscape of our history, culture, and religion. Which is why @fernandez.house.gov and I are introducing the Caja del Rio Protection Act.

Heard firsthand from Ale, the President and CEO of Hispanic Contractors of Colorado, about how Trump’s illegal war and tariffs are raising the price to do business.

Trump slashed food assistance, cut healthcare, and now he's forcing working Americans to pay MORE at the gas pump. He handed tax breaks to billionaires, leaving families to struggle with rising costs.

Unlike Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, & Florida, Virginia put its redistricting referendum up to the will of the PEOPLE. They voted & the redistricting amendment won, fair & square. This ruling throws out their votes and ignores Virginians’ will.

Delaware gas prices are now $4.35 a gallon. That's a 50% increase since the start of Trump's war with Iran – the war Senate Republicans have voted six times to continue. End the war and bring costs down.

Ran into some students from the Kyrene School District at the airport in DC. It’s always great to see young Arizonans coming to our nation’s capital and taking an interest in public service. Might have met a future senator!

Pinelands Learning Center serves South Jersey students with behavioral disabilities and therapeutic needs. I greatly enjoyed the time I got to spend with the kids there, answering their questions and learning about the wonderful education they receive.

I met with kids in Yakima who rely on housing and homelessness programs to keep a roof over their heads. Trump tried to cut these programs by HALF. I said no–and even increased that funding. Let’s build more housing for our kids, not a ballroom for Trump.

AI companions pose a grave danger to our nation's children—machine-made “friends” luring young people into toxic fake relationships, exposing them to explicit content & encouraging self-destructive behavior. My GUARD Act enacts safeguards to protect children from such harms.

The Trump admin said they were committed to ending the opioid epidemic. Now, they’re doing the opposite by cutting access to tools, like test strips, that help prevent overdose. They must reverse course: we should use every tool at our disposal to save lives.

Stop 6 of my west central Minnesota rural tour: Litchfield! Everyone should try the cheese at Fieldgate Cheese store. I’ve got the jalapeño farmers’ cheese 🧀 🌶️ but there is much more! The coop has been operating for over 100 years with local dairy products!

President Trump is weaponizing disaster relief against Colorado communities. Trump rejected disaster aid after a record wildfire season and continues to block funding to help Colorado prevent potentially catastrophic fires ahead. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

$2.6 billion made and no way of knowing if people were tipped off. Potentially profiting off inside information makes this already bad war even worse. Americans have lost trust in our politics because of shady things like this. We have to address it head on.

Colorado has over 730,000 small businesses, employing 1.2 million people in our state. They’re the heartbeat of our economy! In Washington, we should be making it easier to start a small business, not harder.

Since the "ceasefire" the Netanyahu govt has steadily taken control of more territory in Gaza, squeezing civilians into tighter areas, pushing them toward the sea. Where the hell is the Trump Admin & its so-called “Board of Peace” amidst this land grab?

Record low consumer sentiment, sky-high gas prices, and tax breaks for billionaires. Trump promised a golden age, but delivered nothing more than a payday for the Epstein class.

Shell just posted nearly $7 BILLION in profits—twice as high as the last year—thanks to Trump’s chaotic war with Iran, which has caused fuel costs to spike and given Big Oil an excuse to profit from sky-high prices. It's profiteering, and it's Trump at the pump.

There it is. Republicans’ SAVE Act is not about protecting the right to vote – it’s about putting up barriers to make it harder for certain people to vote. Senate Democrats will block this anti-democracy garbage from ever becoming law.

Stop five of my western Minnesota rural economy tour: Willmar. The intersection at Hwy 23 and CSAH 55 in Kandiyohi County has caused serious injuries and even deaths. I worked with Willmar Mayor Reese and local leaders to secure federal funding that will complete a new, safe overpass.

A decade later, Trump cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, ripped affordable coverage from millions and still has no credible health plan. Trump’s policies and lies have increased health costs and denied Americans coverage. Democrats have real plans to make health care affordable again.

Kash Patel is the most unqualified, dangerous FBI Director we’ve ever had. While Trump is waging an unpopular war with Iran and global threats remain high… Patel’s focus is elsewhere: himself.

Should be us. This is the price of the corrupt Trump administration decision to cede this entire industry to the Chinese, just for added gasoline sales for his big fossil fuel donors. Corruption has a cost. American industries will pay.
