Last year, Trump and DOGE slashed funding for screwworm monitoring programs. Now, as a screwworm outbreak spreads across the U.S., the Admin is scrambling to spend nearly $1 billion to contain it. There’s no “government efficiency” when taxpayers end up paying MORE to protect our food supply.

President Trump promised this war would be short and the economy would bounce back quickly. Three months later, gas is still over $4 a gallon, groceries are still rising, and families are still paying the price. A deal is welcome. Accountability for how we got here is still required.

This is a big sleeper issue. Nitazenes are the next wave of the opioid crisis, and the Trump administration has been undermining and defunding the federal programs that study, prepare for and respond to emerging drug threats. I’ve been leading the charge on this to mobilize a federal response.

The U.S. is worse off because of Trump’s incompetence, his ego, and his inability to listen to facts. If Trump wants to send hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran, he’ll need to do with Republican votes. Democrats will not be helping Trump send $300 billion to Iran.

Trump started a reckless war with Iran, created a global economic crisis—and for what? A WORSE deal than Obama made without dropping a single bomb. Apparently, the "Art of the Deal" is to launch pointless wars that end in total surrender and make life more expensive at home.

President Trump has been saying the quiet part out loud: he wants to undermine our elections any way he can, and he refuses to rule out sending uniformed military to the polls or to collect ballots and voting machines. youtu.be/gnfbei9GuBE

The possibilities of quantum technologies are not abstract or theoretical – they are right in front of us, and without greater financing flexibility, we risk falling behind global competitors like China. 1/2

In Iran, the Art of the Deal turned into the art of disaster. The American people are paying the price for Trump’s incompetence: 13 Americans killed, hundreds wounded, higher gas prices, and the cost of everything from groceries to basic necessities are higher than ever.

The President and congressional Republicans refused to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits, raising health care costs for millions. Now, as health care affordability remains a top concern, they have a new “plan”: Take out a loan and go into debt. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/11/b...

I’m headed to the Senate Floor to ask my colleagues if we can all agree on this one, simple truth: climate change is driving up homeowners’ insurance costs.

US troops are dead and gas prices are sky high. The Trump administration wants you to believe that Iran having nukes is a good thing to distract from Trump's colossal failure of a war

Disasters hit red states and blue states alike. When they strike, we need to come together as Americans to help each other recover. But, President Trump has been politicizing recovery aid based on your Governor’s or Senators’ political party. It’s simply unacceptable.

The President said it’d be the most beautiful reflecting pool anyone's ever seen. $14 million later, it turned green with algae in days. Americans need lower costs, not expensive distractions and misplaced priorities.

Housing costs need to be cheaper. Rent prices need to come down. From discussing how to combat rising housing costs under this regime, to expanding affordable housing initiatives, it was great to meet with Hawaii REALTORS during their yearly visit to Capitol Hill!

Shocking concessions with no conditions. For a self-glorified deal maker, this is one of the worst deals ever made.

Green is the color—of algae, money & corruption. Millions of taxpayer dollars squandered on a corrupt no-bid boondoggle, with a contractor linked to Trump’s past private golf club projects. Now Trump minions are desperately dumping poisonous chemicals, endangering wildlife & humans.

Trump promised the ballroom wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime. That was a lie. He doesn’t care that families are struggling to pay for housing, groceries, and gas if it means he gets his ballroom.

If you've applied to jobs and heard nothing back, you're not crazy. Companies are posting openings they never plan to fill. It wastes your time and warps the data we use to read the economy. I'm pushing the Labor Department and FTC to find out how bad it is.

An overwhelming majority of Americans agree: We must cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month. With 26 bipartisan cosponsors and counting, we have the support needed to pass my INSULIN Act in the Senate and lower health care costs for millions. Let’s get this done.

Mohsen Mahdawi was asked on his final citizenship interview whether he would be willing to protect and defend the Constitution. Within seconds of saying yes, ICE agents stormed in, arrested him, handcuffed his wrists and chained his feet, and threw him in a cell.

Trump continues to spend billions of your dollars to block affordable clean energy, to keep American union workers unemployed, and to make our grid less reliable. Congress needs to block Trump’s billion-dollar attack on American-made offshore wind.

Russia’s war in Ukraine has now lasted longer than WWI. Instead of appeasing Russia by sending an official U.S. delegation to Putin’s sanction evasion conference, Trump should back our Ukrainian allies in their fight for freedom.

Putting a baby to work? That's a joke. What's not a joke? Republicans are gutting child labor laws, while Trump has stopped enforcing the ones we have. It shouldn't be cheaper for a company to break child labor laws than to follow them—let's pass my CHILD Labor Act.

So the guy who wants to be Arizona’s top lawyer just told 18,000 of our neighbors to be ready to be deported. These are nurses and firefighters and people who’ve lived here their whole lives, and he’s looking them in the eye calling them illegals. azmirror.com/2026/06/17/w...

Trump sent us into a reckless war of choice with Iran only to put us in a worse position than before. This war cost 13 Americans their lives, burned through munitions stockpiles, took our eye off the ball the Indo-Pacific, and cost Americans nearly $60 billion in sky high gas prices. 1/3
