IMO, another big fat Trumpian favor for the fossil fuel industry. Maybe paired with our excess profits clawback bill this makes sense, but not while they’re busy gorging themselves at the public’s expense.

I visited Soldiers Best Friend in Peoria to see firsthand how they’re pairing rescued dogs with veterans living with PTSD. These service dogs are changing lives, and organizations like this are making a real difference for Arizona veterans and their families.

The only person who wants this is Trump. If President Trump wants to honor America’s 250th, he should listen to what Americans are actually asking for: lower costs, affordable health care, and an end to the war of choice in Iran.

As housing costs rise, we must take steps now to ensure future generations have safe, affordable places to live. I was proud to secure three provisions in landmark legislation that passed the Senate to support affordable housing in communities across New Hampshire.

Trump’s Golden Dome is a $1.2 trillion golden sieve that won’t stop a nuclear attack, but will balloon the deficit and boost the bottom lines of billionaires. We must not be fooled by Trump’s fool’s gold.

Trump's endless war in Iran is driving up the cost of everyday essentials. The American people are sick of paying the price for his lies.

My message to Pete Hegseth on Trump's $1.5 trillion war budget: “Every gun made... every rocket fired signifies... a theft from those who hunger and are not fed... This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the hopes of its children.”

It was an honor to meet with the Artemis II crew! Thank you for signing a NASA patch for my boys. You show us what is possible and teach them to dream big.

President Trump promised Americans lower costs. Instead he’s making them foot the bill for a war no one asked for or approved.

This is a coordinated effort to dilute Black voting power and help Republicans avoid accountability at the ballot box. They know their agenda is deeply unpopular, so they’re trying to hold onto power by any means necessary.

Black voters across the South are being silenced. It’s just been two weeks since SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act, and we’re already seeing the damage unfold in Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee.

When Trump meets with Xi, we can’t afford for him to sacrifice America’s national security in exchange for “solutions” to Trump's self-created crises. That’s why I led 16 bipartisan senators this month on a resolution as a reminder about the threat China poses to our security and prosperity.

And Republicans in Congress want to give it to him. If only they were that eager to help Americans afford their health care...

Trump’s economy is getting less and less affordable. Working families are in a cost-of-living emergency, and his illegal and unwanted war is driving up costs.

I'm thrilled my bill with Senator Blackburn to install baby changing stations across all Amtrak trains passed the Senate. I'll work with my colleagues in the House to carry this bill across the finish line so it's easier for young families to travel.

The Republican budget bill = …billions for ICE …a billion for Trump’s ballroom …nothing to lower your energy costs

I asked Secretary Hegseth what he expects working families to give up to pay for this $1.5 TRILLION war budget. Child care or health care?

Right now, I'm heading to our Senate Agriculture Committee hearing on fertilizer supply & affordability. Farmers in Minnesota & nationwide are being squeezed by rising input costs — like higher fuel costs — driven by the Administration’s tariffs & the ongoing conflict in Iran.

In the Senate, I’ll keep working across party lines to make sure affordable, quality child care options are more accessible for families across Nevada.

Last week, I was glad to tour the Little Steps Early Learning Academy, a free pre-K center in Las Vegas. Child care is unaffordable and inaccessible for too many families in Nevada, and we had a great discussion about how we can help make sure parents know what resources are available to them.

Republicans think funding President Trump’s ballroom is a better use of taxpayer dollars than Medicaid. I disagree.

The GOP won’t defend your health care. They won’t defend your wallet against spiking gas prices or rising energy costs. But $1 billion for Trump’s ballroom—they have no problem defending that. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/u...

Tanning beds and fruit-flavored vapes somehow fit into this regime's "Make America Healthy Again" agenda, but vaccines, Tylenol, and anti-depressants are the problem?

The Chinese Communist Party has a strategy. They steal tech, reverse engineer it, build it at scale, and then they heavily subsidize it so it undercuts the market. That's why when it comes to our U.S. auto industry, our auto workers, I'm not gonna go down without a fight.

China is outpacing American shipbuilding because we’ve let our maritime industry decay for too long. The SHIPS for America Act will rebuild American shipping and shipbuilding, create good-paying jobs, and strengthen our national security.

American leadership in medical research comes with the responsibility to never be satisfied while there are those suffering from sickness. I introduced the American Cures Act to provide steady funding for U.S. research agencies, allowing us to remain a leader in discovery & to give patients hope.

A ballroom he promised taxpayers wouldn't pay for. A wall he promised Mexico would. And now a no-bid contract for a favored pool contractor costing taxpayers millions more. Trump's art of the deal is, and always will be, a scam.

Americans are already struggling to make ends meet, & now Trump's illegal war is driving up prices everywhere from the gas pump to the grocery store. Ending this war will protect our troops, lower costs, & rein in this lawless president.

Americans are paying over $4.50/gallon for gas because Trump refuses to end this war. If Republicans care at all about lowering costs and defending our troops, they will support Democrats’ War Powers Resolution to end this war with Iran.

This weekend I was honored to join hundreds of MN National Guard families whose loved ones are stationed overseas at a very special lunch sponsored by Serving Our Troops. Good to also see Rep. McCollum & Mayor Her. Thanks to Mancini’s & volunteers for serving steaks to our troops overseas as well.

The cost of this unnecessary war is falling on everyday Americans at the gas pump, the grocery store, and beyond. We need to put American families first — not this costly war.

For many Nevada families, high gas prices under Donald Trump’s leadership means they’re having to cancel vacations, skip going out to eat, and buy less. This will have a trickle down effect on our local economy. We need real solutions to bring down these prices at the gas pump.

“Uncertainty.” “Stress.” “Dread.” These are the words Americans used to describe the economy right now. All because of Donald Trump’s costly tariffs, disastrous war with Iran, and failed economic agenda.
