“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anyone.” – President Donald Trump

I voted YES on @merkley.senate.gov’s War Powers Res. and while I hoped my Republican colleagues would vote to help Americans struggling with rising costs, they did not. To be clear, Republicans do not care about how much this war costs, they only care about appeasing the President.

His agencies are burying reports showing vaccines are safe and effective — including data that COVID vaccines significantly reduced hospitalizations. Americans deserve honesty, transparency, and leadership that puts science first.

Good news that the FDA Commissioner stepped down. Now RFK Jr. should do the same. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Businesses are reporting “recession-level industry decline” because of President Trump’s Iran War, but Senate Republicans for the SEVENTH time blocked a resolution requiring Congress to approve further military action against Iran. Americans are paying the price for this reckless conflict.

BREAKING: For the SEVENTH time, the Senate voted to end Trump's war of choice with Iran—and for the SEVENTH time, Senate Republicans blocked it. End the war NOW.

Three federal judges tried to override decades of science and ban a medication the FDA has deemed safe for 25 years. The Supreme Court put that decision on hold—but the fight isn’t over. We must keep fighting to protect reproductive freedom.

An absolute joy to meet with the crew of the Artemis II yesterday. In dark times, they have helped us to raise our gaze to the constellation of possibility. Thank you for your service as you inspire generations to come.

From the Santa Fe Rail Trail to the Atalaya Trail and everything in between, Santa Fe has over 500 miles of mountain biking trails for you to ride. And now, it’s officially recognized as one of the top 28 “Trail Towns” in the country.

Plus, all that stuff really sucks and is even dangerous, so we should be honor-bound to fight it even if it were a losing and unpopular fight. So when it’s actually a winner, there’s really no excuse.

They’re ahead of us knowing that climate change is increasing their costs. And they’re ahead of us knowing that fossil fuel has too much influence. And they’re ahead of us knowing that an oligarchy of billionaire CEOs and wealthy donors and large corporations is a problem.
- SW
So if we wanted to have a fight about the fossil fuel billionaire CEOs, the wealthy fossil fuel donors and the large fossil fuel corporations who wield too much influence and do too much damage, once again we’re pushing on an open door. The people are actually ahead of us.
- SW
2. Then, if you look at the industries whose influence people are most concerned about, the top one is oil and gas companies, numero uno. People are sick of the fossil fuel industry having too much influence (that’s bad news for fossil-fuel sock-puppet Republicans, btw).

13 million of your taxpayer dollars. To repaint the Reflecting Pool. To a handpicked contractor with no competitive bidding. This isn't a vanity project; it's a national scandal.

President Trump’s reckless war with Iran is costing Americans at the gas pump. President Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, his policies are hurting people who can least afford it. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/06/b...

Scammers impersonating federal agents have been targeting Virginia families whose loved ones have been detained by ICE. Remember: No government agency will ever ask for money through gift cards or mobile payment apps. ICE does not contact members of the public through WhatsApp.

Donald Trump thinks the U.S. Treasury is his personal piggy bank. Let's be clear: the President is trying to steal $10 BILLION of taxpayer money - before a court rules. This is a massive, unprecedented scandal. Congress must stop him. I have a bill for that.

Taiwan is a thriving democracy and key economic partner — we must strengthen, not weaken, this relationship to ensure peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait and across the Indo-Pacific.

Ahead of Trump's summit with Xi, @SenJohnCurtis and I led a bipartisan group of senators in sending a clear message: the U.S. must uphold our commitments to Taiwan and adopt no new declaratory policy on the island.

While Trump is building a ballroom and unveiling golden statues, families are struggling to keep up with rising costs on everything from gas to food to health care. Americans deserve a leader who is actually focused on lowering costs.

Mifepristone is safe and effective. Access to abortion medication through telehealth & the mail is legal & must be protected.

This is unacceptable. That is why the Senate passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act and why the House must pass it now. Together, we can build more housing, bring down costs, and make owning a home an attainable dream for American families. 2/2

When I was growing up in South Jersey, buying your own home was part of the American Dream. It was a dream we all thought was within reach. This isn’t the case in the America my sons are growing up in. Now, the average American is 40 years old when they purchase their first home. 1/2

Families are stretched thin — raising kids, caring for aging parents, and facing rising costs. It shouldn’t be this hard to care for loved ones. Looking forward to tomorrow’s Senate Aging Committee hearing and learning from those working on these challenges daily.

I am deeply disturbed to hear about the bomb threat against Secretary Raffensperger and I am relieved that he was not harmed. Political violence has no place in America. We must condemn it unequivocally.

Look, he's not even pretending at this point. He DOES NOT CARE if you can't afford anything or get by because of his war. And this war wasn't even about the threat of Iran having nuclear weapons because there was NO imminent threat.

Did you get a raise in the past year? So did gas prices & just about everything else. Trump's war with Iran and tariffs have jacked inflation up to its highest levels in years.
