Across Minnesota, gas prices are over $4 a gallon. Americans are already dealing with high everyday costs, and this administration’s unilateral war with Iran is only making it worse — and it has to stop.

Military action at the Strait is part of the ongoing war, not some distinct operation as Hegseth disingenuously attempts to depict it. He’s seemingly seeking to avoid coming to Congress as required by law, pushing an imaginary pause button.

Familias en Virginia estan pagando casi 10.8 milliones de dólares más al día en gasolina de lo que pagaban hace dos meses. La razón? La guerra illegal e imprudente del presidente Trump en contra de Irán.

Pres. Trump’s reckless policies are fueling higher gas prices. Brown University researchers from Climate Solutions Lab, led by Jeff Colgan shows Trump's war with Iran has already cost RIers an extra $36.6 million & counting at the gas pump.

Remember when Donald Trump called himself the "Father of IVF"? Right now, Trump officials are taking a sledgehammer to rules that protect workers undergoing IVF. Just another one of Trump's broken promises. I'm fighting to stop this.

ICYMI: I wrote to @WaPo on permitting reform. It shouldn’t come at the expense of our water and our communities. The Trump administration showed exactly what this looks like – rolling back protections, ignoring local voices, and putting clean water at risk.

I'm leading my colleagues to demand the Trump Administration immediately restore sanctions on Russian oil. Pausing these sanctions didn't lower gas prices—which are up over 50% in Colorado because of President Trump's reckless war in Iran. It only bankrolled Putin's war in Ukraine.

Trump’s gilded boondoggle balloons. Republicans mock fiscal prudence & respect for American history by aiding & abetting their dear leader’s gold plated monstrosity—a $1 billion monument to himself.

Senate Republicans are wearing out the knees of their pants in their efforts to humor The Mad Trump on things voters despise. How about freeing up clean energy so electric rates come down? Nope, ballroom. And of course The Mad Trump says the quiet part out loud.

The CDC quietly stopped helping states test for infectious diseases like rabies. RFK Jr. is gutting critical public health services and making our country less safe. I'm calling on him to answer for his dangerous choices.

As the civil war in Sudan enters its 4th year, the RSF continues to commit genocide with impunity. As I told this Trump official — if ending this genocide is a priority we need ACTION. To get results, the US must use our immense leverage to get the UAE to stop arming the RSF.

Access to mifepristone has been temporarily restored – but Republicans’ assaults on health care won’t stop. They’re attacking Medicaid, the ACA, and abortion to make it harder and less affordable for you to access care.

The Trump Admin has waged a silent campaign against DACA recipients. Through delays, enforcement, & bureaucracy, individuals who only know America as their home are at risk of deportation. Read my op-ed in the Washington Post to learn how President Trump broke his promise to Dreamers.

Yesterday, I got to come back for the Tulip Time Festival in Holland, MI. With over 5 million tulips, the festival drew a record 976,000 people from across the world last year, generated over $50 million in revenue, and has repeatedly been recognized as one of the country's best flower festivals.

While Americans are suffering from high costs, Republicans in Congress are focused on making Trump happy. They should stop trying to put Trump’s face on Mount Rushmore and start trying to make groceries more affordable. https://bit.ly/4upIO8H

If you are mad about Republicans' shoveling $1 BILLION at Trump's ballroom—as you should be!—just remember: Trump is asking them to blow 1500x times that amount on his war budget.

We met with rideshare drivers, business owners, and union members who can’t afford Trump’s economy. Working families are in a cost-of-living emergency: gas is through the roof and illegal tariffs are stealing from small businesses. We need to focus on making life affordable for folks.

Minnesotans are right to be angry about fraud. It is unacceptable and it must end. As governor, I will strengthen criminal penalties and launch a top to bottom audit of state government to root out waste, fraud, and abuse. Learn about my plan here: www.amyklobuchar.com/html/assets/...

The Pentagon is blocking clean energy projects, killing jobs and driving up your energy bills. By inventing new legal hurdles, it has stalled 160 wind projects that would power millions of homes. The Trump administration is worsening our energy price crisis.

JUST IN: Congressional Republicans are pushing nearly $70 billion more for ICE and Border Patrol. These agencies are sitting on over $100 billion in unspent funds. But instead of lowering costs for New Mexico families, Republicans are doubling down on Trump’s agenda and funding his ballroom.

A hedge fund manager pays a lower tax rate than a teacher. That's not an accident — that’s this Administration handing out tax cuts to the rich at the expense of working people, all while stripping away your health care and raising your bills with a war in Iran.

President Trump said he’d bring down costs and wouldn’t start any foreign wars. Well, Americans have now spent over $25 billion on his illegal war in Iran, and gas prices are reaching an all time high. This is not what the American people were promised.
