Trump is too busy decorating D.C. to end his war in Iran or lower costs for working people.

76 days of Republicans’ disarray and confusion led to accepting the offer Senate Democrats made on Day 1. First, after much delay, Republican Senators agreed unanimously; then the House Republicans, after more delay, ultimately also agreed. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

We asked the Trump admin what advice they’d give to farmers struggling with rising gas and fertilizer prices. Spoiler: they know these tariffs are hurting farmers and had no good answer.

Ukraine is figuring out modern warfare in real time. We could be learning from them, but we're not. Because Hegseth has made generals afraid to talk to our own allies. That's how you fall behind. McCain Institute

Pete Hegseth has promoted Pentagon staffers who have peddled antisemitic tropes – and now, he’s tripling down on his own use of a term with a history of being weaponized against Jewish communities.

Half of Americans are struggling to afford food, yet this administration wants to continue spending billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars on a war that no one asked for.

Big Oil’s scheme to get the courts to shield the industry’s ability to pollute for free and greenlight the destruction of our planet continues.

Just left a beautiful service in New Ulm filled with community members honoring Cpt. Bill Bianchi. A recipient of the Medal of Honor in WWII, Cpt. Bianchi was killed in action in 1945 at 29 years old. His remains were identified last August. His family kept his memory alive. May he rest in peace.

Ukraine is winning right now. We should arm them, give them the intelligence they need, and let them strike deep into Russia. Instead we're making them beg for it. Democrat or Republican, the next administration has to make the decision: we want Ukraine to win. McCain Institute

Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline. FWIW, JetBlue merger failed because a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, said the deal was illegal. Republicans are desperate to shift blame from higher costs hitting families.

People in this country don't have health care right now because our leaders decided funding for ICE and war was more important.

Trump has spent TENS OF BILLIONS of your tax dollars on his war of choice with Iran. Republican logic: always money for war, never any to help working families put food on the table or get health care.

I don’t trade stocks, don’t take corporate PAC money, and publish my official schedule for all to see. Americans deserve transparency and accountability. I’m fighting to make this the standard in Washington, so there’s never any doubt your leaders are working for you.

My constituents are paying, on average, nearly $3,000 in higher costs due to inflation this year. The President promised to “end inflation,” but instead has done the exact opposite with his tariffs and war.

This ruling amounts to a nationwide abortion ban. Mifepristone is safe, full stop. This isn’t about science and protecting women, it’s a calculated plot by Republicans obsessed with controlling the private health care decisions of women in America.

Even under the now-halted FDA policy, patients still had to talk to their provider before getting medication for an abortion. This just bans telehealth appointments because anti-choice politicians want to make it as inconvenient and difficult as possible to get mifepristone.

A Louisiana federal court just blocked access to mifepristone by mail, limiting how patients can receive an FDA-approved medication. This decision creates new barriers to care. We must restore women’s access to health care.

Mifepristone is a safe and effective abortion medication that has been used by millions of people since the FDA approved it more than a quarter century ago. (1/3)

We should all be paying attention to what this means. Getting rid of Roe wasn’t the end game and they will go further. Anti choice extremists in state legislatures are teaming up with allies on the federal bench to take your freedom to control the course of your life.

BREAKING: A conservative court packed with Trump-appointed judges just ruled to ROLL BACK access to the abortion pill. This is a page straight out of extremist Republicans’ anti-abortion playbook. Let me be clear: the abortion pill is safe and effective. We must fight back.

It was great to visit Boulder Crest Foundation in Bluemont to learn how they support and build resilience among veterans, servicemembers, law enforcement, and other first responders. I’m glad I helped secure $1 million in funding to expand their programs to VA law enforcement officers.

Most people who have an abortion use mifepristone. Blocking access to it isn’t about safety—it’s about control. We won’t stop fighting until everyone can get the care they need, no matter where they live.

Doctors — not judges — should be the ones providing medical advice to women. Mifepristone has been safely used for years. This ruling is an attack on every woman's right to make her own health care decisions, and it must not stand.

Claiming that hostilities have ceased while the U.S. Navy is actively blocking Iranian-linked maritime traffic in the Strait is expected but obvious bullshit from a Commander in Chief who has no plan and continues to hide his incompetence behind the valor of our troops.

We won't let this stand. Mifepristone is safe and FDA approved. This decision would impact women across the country, even in states where we’ve protected abortion access.

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

This is a farce. Trump continues to blockade the Strait of Hormuz which is an act of WAR. This is just another attempt to make an end-run around Congress. No self-respecting Republican should believe this & if they do they are making even more of a mockery of their duties.
