Trump has nothing to show for his war in Iran except 13 dead service members, a closed Strait, a broken ceasefire, and a $4.30 gallon of gas. apnews.com/article/oil-...

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health is essential to our well-being and the care of our communities. In Congress, I'm committed to supporting mental health initiatives. Taking care of yourself is paramount to taking care of others. We’re here for you, NJ.

Washington Republicans refused to extend the ACA's enhanced premium tax credits, and now Nevadans are delaying their care or forgoing it altogether. This was a health care crisis that didn’t need to happen. I’ll keep fighting to reinstate these enhanced tax credits and lower health care costs.

Trump promised to lower costs on "Day 1." It's Day 471 and costs are up for everything from gas to groceries. So what's the President and Republicans in control of Congress focused on? Trump's gold-encrusted ballroom to wine and dine corporate donors and Washington elites.

Good. Because mifepristone is SAFE. Anyone trying to stop its distribution isn't protecting women's safety — they're controlling women's bodies. And they're willing to put patients at risk to do so. apnews.com/article/abor...

Radical judges tried to rip mifepristone away from women in America. SCOTUS paused that ruling—and I just led every Senate Democrat in an amicus brief making the case the science already made: mifepristone is safe & effective. Extremists shouldn't decide how we get our medicine.

Despite Trump's disastrous war of choice and gas costing $4.50 a gallon, Iran is still a year away from a nuclear bomb. There never was an “imminent” nuclear threat from Iran. Trump lied. Not one penny more for this unnecessary, expensive war. We can only fix this with diplomacy.

I spoke to people back home in NJ who are seeing this costly war in Iran being waged at their expense, but without their say. They asked me, "What about us?"

Big Oil is making a $30 million windfall profit every HOUR by using the Iran War as an excuse to rip off commuters at the gas pump. This year, Exxon will be spending $20 billion of its profits on stock buybacks. We must end the Iran War and pass a windfall profits tax — NOW!

Colorado just experienced one of the driest winters in recent memory and the risk of wildfires is growing. Cutting staff who protect our communities from wildfires threatens our Western way of life. We won’t stand for it. coloradosun.com/2026/05/01/c...

Trump ran on promises of lowering costs on Day 1. The reality? Families are being pressed to the wall by skyrocketing costs everywhere from the gas pump to the grocery store. Another broken promise—and you and your family are paying the cost.

Happy Jewish American Heritage Month! I'd like to take a moment to honor the contributions Jewish Americans make to New Jersey. Celebrating Jewish heritage and communities across the country is just one way we can reject antisemitism in all its forms.

It's a lot easier to get into a war than it is to get out. And we are living that with Iran.

The estimated cost for the Lafayette Square project was $3.3M. The firm building Trump’s ballroom got the contract without bidding & now it will cost taxpayers $17.4M. I’m demanding answers to understand if Clark’s unilateral selection is a reward for building the ballroom.

California is proving that state tax credits are an effective tool to bring jobs and production back to the Golden State. Another reason why I'm fighting to create a federal film incentive to help promote American film production across the U.S.

Even Republicans don't support Trump's Big, Ugly, Bloated War budget. $1.5 TRILLION for war while he cuts investments here at home? Absolutely not. I'm tearing up his budget to write a new one that actually invests in America and our families.

Great to speak with UNLV’s Warrior Queen Project, an incredible mentorship program that empowers young women to speak up for their community and be resilient leaders. These women inspire me and have incredible opportunities in store for them. I can’t wait to see what they accomplish!

The lessons we’ve taken from Star Wars matter today more than ever. But one stands out to me: Hope is like the sun — if you only believe in it when you can see it, you’ll never make it through the night. May the Fourth be with you, always!

Every year, I visit all 87 counties. I build coalitions with proven housing leaders like former St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman and people from across Minnesota to get things done. That's what we need to build more homes so that we can make housing more affordable.

Trump's corruption has been well documented, but perhaps one of his most outrageous — and lucrative — schemes has been his personal meme coin. Since its launch, Trump has made over $200 MILLION from it while those everyday Americans who have invested have lost BILLIONS.

This is what we knew would always happen – millions of Americans being forced off their health care plans because Republicans took away tax credits to give billionaires tax breaks. Senate Republicans don’t care. This is what they voted for.

Remember when Trump told Congress the war was over because there was a ceasefire? That was 72 hours ago.

Our maritime decline is a threat to our security. While China builds 1,000+ ships a year, the U.S. built only 5 in 2024. I’m teaming up with Rep. John Garamendi on the SHIPS for America Act to revitalize our shipyards, create jobs, and build ships in America again.

On International Firefighters Day, we honor all who risk their lives to keep us safe and those who lost their lives in service. I’m proud that a law I helped pass brought over $20 million in funding to VA last year to ensure our fire departments have the resources they need.

Trump’s war in Iran is hurting our wallets. The national average for gas is up again. $4.46 per gallon. I was just driving around New Jersey, seeing the high prices all over the state and hearing from communities: We can't keep absorbing this war tax.

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

65 years ago, 13 activists boarded buses in DC bound for New Orleans, marking the first freedom ride in U.S. history. As I saw when teaching in a newly integrated school in Mississippi, these individuals inspired a movement that advanced racial equality and fought injustice.

This International Firefighters’ Day, I’d like to applaud the heroism that firefighters display in Michigan and across the country. That’s why I’ve always fought to strengthen federal grant programs that make sure fire departments have enough staff and up-to-date safety equipment and resources.

I will show up for all Minnesotans, whether you're a Republican, Democrat, or Independent. Will work with solution-focused mayors like Hollies Winston of Brooklyn Park to deliver results from fixing roads to public safety. Great to have him there when I laid out my plan to reform state government.

Gas is $4.46 per gallon. No meaningful action on lowering housing costs. Child care costs still skyrocketing. Trump ran on lowering costs, and instead he’s actively making them worse.
