A bipartisan effort to counter Pentagon concealment—this first step signals steeply rising anger across the aisle. Hegseth’s slow-walking & stonewalling adds insult to injury—an affront to Congress, hiding dangerous & destructive failings.

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.

From tearing up a diplomatic deal that kept Iran’s nuclear program in check to launching a reckless war there, Trump has made one disastrous decision after another—betraying this country and our troops.

The Trump Administration awarded over $22 million in federal contracts to a firm that organized the January 6th rally Trump used to incite the insurrection.

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...

If we’re serious about accountability, we have to be serious about transparency. I stopped by the Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room to meet with survivors and review the records that have been released to the public.

Every person deserves to live free from gun violence. Today, I met with NJ members of @everytown.org and @momsdemandaction.org to hear their stories and discuss the critical work they're doing to make our communities safer. In Congress, we must pass common-sense gun control NOW.

The deal between the United States & Iran underscores what we already knew: The Iran war was a huge blunder from the start & we are worse off as a result. But one thing worse than this deal is not ending this stupid war.

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

As Americans pay more and more for energy, the Trump administration is once again paying millions in taxpayer dollars to kill California energy projects. Expect another hike in your utility bills, courtesy of Donald Trump. And another win for the oil industry. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

President Trump has announced a "deal" to end his reckless and costly Iran war. Ending this war is necessary. But Trump’s deal appears to be a bad one.

You deserve to feel safe in your community. That's why I pushed FEMA Administrator nominee Cameron Hamilton on the importance of increasing funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to combat antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other forms of hatred around the country. 1/2

Saddened by the loss of Raja Chinnakotla. A recent graduate & homecoming king at Edina High School, Raja had a gift for bringing people together & making all feel welcome. His parents, Ann and Srinath, & his sister Adelle filled his life with joy & love. We are holding the family in our hearts.

🚨Senate Republicans just blocked my bills to make sure Trump can never pay out his political allies and January 6 rioters with your tax dollars. I gave them a chance to redirect this funding to programs that actually help Americans, but they sided with Trump’s corruption. Watch what happened:

Trump said over and over again the American people wouldn’t pay a dime for his ballroom. He lied. AGAIN.

Trump has claimed his gilded ballroom would cost taxpayers nothing. We now know that's a lie. It will cost $600 million & taxpayers will be on the hook for half. I’m demanding answers from Trump’s hand-picked construction firm after they withheld the true price of this project.

I introduced a bill today to demand the U.S. use all diplomatic tools to push for elections and the release of political prisoners in Venezuela. Venezuelans must decide their own future. I hope my colleagues will join me in pushing urgently for a democratic transition.

When Republicans passed their One Big Beautiful Bill they said it wouldn’t impact our most vulnerable. Now they’re eating their words. At a time when prices are out of control, 770,000 children have lost food assistance, all so billionaires & corporations can pay less in taxes.

TPS holders are our friends, our colleagues, and our neighbors. The Trump administration’s cruel attempts to terminate TPS for Haitians have put thousands of our community members in danger. We must protect TPS and guarantee Haitian TPS holders the dignity they deserve.

The average age of a first time homebuyer is 40 years old. That's absolutely unacceptable. Today, I met with NJ Realtors to discuss housing affordability in New Jersey, and the work I've been doing to build more housing and bring costs down. 1/2

$100B spent. 14 servicemembers lost. Military stockpiles drained. Costs soaring. Trump’s “deal” with Iran puts the U.S. in a worse position than we were before his illegal war began.

Hurricane season is here. We can't wait for a future president to make sure our communities are prepared. This is what I stressed to the Cameron Hamilton, current nominee for FEMA Administrator, as Americans rely on FEMA to get the help they need when disaster strikes.

Reliable broadband is essential for families, farmers, students, and small businesses. Building on my legislation to bring federal broadband funding to MN, my Last Mile Initiative will connect the 120,000 households that still lack access and finally bring broadband to every corner of our state.

Trump’s dangerous $1.2 trillion “Golden Dome” boondoggle will not protect Americans. It’s just a giveaway to defense contractor buddies like Elon Musk. We’re demanding answers from Hegseth on Trump’s trillion-dollar scam.

Arizonans are working hard, paying their taxes, and playing by the rules. Trump is using the presidency to line his own pockets and pay off his friends. That's not what this office is for. We can’t pretend otherwise, and I'm not going to look the other way.

When it comes to President Trump's war in Iran, we need to be clear about what we put into it and what we get out of it. The deal on the table is not even comparable to the Obama deal. It's worse by a lot. By about $300 billion and a bunch of vague language.

Once again, Donald Trump chooses chaos over national security. Installing an unqualified loyalist like Bill Pulte will not make us safer. Nor will insisting that Congress add an unrelated voter suppression bill to a FISA extension. It will only ensure the latter will fail. No reforms for FISA.

Messing with special education and children with disabilities? C’mon. President Trump is trying to shut down the Department of Education – and he doesn’t care what it means for our children or families. It makes no sense.

ICE is already larger than the Marines. And Republicans in Washington are trying to give them even MORE money. What if we funded health care instead?

Pride Month is about celebrating our LGBTQ+ family, friends, neighbors, and community. Honoring those who paved the way, uplifting the next generation, and standing tall beside anyone facing hate and division. I’m proud to continue to celebrate Pride this month and every month!

President Trump started a reckless war in Iran that cost billions, drove up prices, and left American service members dead and wounded. Ending it is necessary, but what we’re left with looks by all accounts to be a bad deal. That's why Congress and the American people need to see the text now.

We had an Iran nuclear deal. Trump tore it up. Now, his “deal” includes a $300 billion payoff for Iran and no new limits on its nuclear program. This is a joke. Congress must review and reject this deal immediately.

President Trump is doing exactly what he said he'd do: taking a wrecking ball to the Department of Education. By offloading special education and civil rights offices' onto agencies that have no business or experience running a classroom, it's Colorado's most vulnerable kids who will pay the price.

Republicans are hoping the American people don't know the difference between showing a photo ID and proving their citizenship. But if the SAVE Trump Act passes, that difference could mean MILLIONS of eligible voters are disenfranchised from voting in our upcoming elections.
