Generations upon generations have fought for the sacred right to vote. Which is why I'm standing in defense of that right and am voting NO on the so-called SAVE Act.

I’ll hold Senator Mullin to his word that ICE agents will no longer be instructed to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judicial warrant.

There needs to be fundamental reform of ICE. The public is crying out for that.

Our economy lost 92,000 jobs last month. President Trump’s chaotic tariffs, mass firings of federal employees, and federal grant cuts have weakened our economy and forced Americans to pay more for essentials.

Senate Republicans refuse to hold open hearings on the Iran War and its mounting costs. Tonight, I joined my Democratic colleagues in forcing that transparency. We will continue to demand answers from the administration, and an end to the war.

Trump and Republicans' SAVE America Act isn't solving problems—it's creating them by making YOU shell out for IDs and documents like a birth certificate or passport. They want to make voting more expensive—and Democrats won't let them.

One aspect of the "SAVE America Act" that is deeply harmful and hasn't received enough attention is the fact that it makes it much harder for people impacted by natural disasters to vote.

Tonight, I voted again to support a war powers resolution that would stop President Trump's war of choice in Iran. The President and his Administration started this war by failing to communicate any clear objective to the American people.
- EM
just voted for a War Powers Resolution to end President Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Congress must act with authority. End this war now.

$200 BILLION for a war of choice that Americans don't want and that isn't making us safer. This should be an absolute nonstarter. The best way to end this war, protect our troops, save civilian lives, & rein in a lawless Administration is to cut off funding. I’m a hell no.

Despite Trump’s war being unconstitutional and vastly unpopular, Senate Republicans blocked consideration of my War Powers resolution to stop this reckless war. This isn’t over. We will keep fighting until Americans get the transparency and accountability they deserve.

Nearly 70 million women have changed their names. Under Republicans' voter suppression bill, women may need to provide proof of citizenship AND documents to prove the name change, like a marriage certificate. If you ask me, that's not very pro-family of Republicans.

We have proof of what we've been through, and proof that we're made for this moment.

I was with veterans in the Capitol today to amplify their concerns about Trump’s unnecessary war with Iran. Rather than listen and vote to end it, too many senators chose to bow to a President who has called our fallen heroes ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’ This isn't over.

Small businesses are the backbone of Nevada’s economy, and they’re struggling amidst the chaos of Donald Trump’s cost-raising tariffs. ⬇️

The war in Iran is having a direct impact on Michiganders. They are feeling it in their pocketbooks. The price of gas is up. The last thing I saw when I left to fly back to Washington from Michigan was a 90-minute line for gas at Costco because it's so much cheaper.

After cutting $1 trillion from Medicaid, Republicans for the SECOND time voted against a resolution that would require Congress to approve further military action against Iran. Republicans are spending nearly $2 billion a day on this war, putting American service members and our economy at risk.

Earlier this month, I voted for @kaine.senate.gov's War Powers Resolution to end the President’s war with Iran. Tonight, I voted for @booker.senate.gov's War Powers Resolution to end the President’s war with Iran. There is neither a rationale nor a strategy for this war.

They're not focused on the "worst of the worst." Trump's ICE agents in Texas just detained a DACA recipient who was on his way to deliver milk to his newborn daughter in the NICU. Republicans still want us to write a blank check for this cruelty. Not another dime! www.ms.now/news/ice-det...

I just voted to END the war with Iran, but Republicans blocked our effort to stop this conflict. Why is there money for a war no one asked for, but no money for health care here at home? I'll keep voting to end this war again and again. NO WAR WITH IRAN.

The Secretary of Homeland Security is quite literally at the fulcrum of some major issues we're dealing with as Americans, like the role of law enforcement and ICE in our streets. On both lines of questioning, Senator Mullin didn't get there for me. I am a no.

Ant vs. President Obama — 1-on-1 in basketball, ping pong, and Connect 4. Not a bad way to highlight the Obama Presidential Center.

Today, we received another CLASSIFIED briefing on Iran, as this Admin refuses to hold public hearings w/ the war's real architects, like Rubio & Hegseth, b/c they want to hide the truth. The American people are watching the costs of this war of choice rise. They deserve ANSWERS.

America’s veterans understand the cost of war. I’m glad I got to talk to veterans today about how Trump dragging us into another prolonged conflict in the Middle East with no clear goals, strategy, or end state is so harmful.

Instead of debating how to help people address the rising cost of living or how to make their lives more affordable, we are debating how to make it harder for them to vote. That makes no sense.

All 100 Senators swore an oath not to Donald Trump, but to the Constitution. That’s why I’m fighting in the Senate tonight to end this reckless war.

We’ve now given Republicans multiple opportunities to pay TSA agents, FEMA, and our Coast Guard. They’ve blocked it every single time.
- JR
UPDATE: For the seventh time, Republicans voted to block TSA agents, FEMA personnel, & other federal employees from getting their paychecks.

As President Trump’s tariff policy and war in the Middle East hurts our farmers, I met with members of the Illinois Farm Bureau to discuss how Congress can support Illinois farmers and promote policies that will bring certainty and predictability back to our farm economy.

Americans don’t need to go through more paperwork and bureaucracy to vote. But that is exactly what the SAVE America Act would straddle seniors, veterans, and millions of other U.S. citizens with.

We keep trying to fund TSA and pay thousands of workers across this country, but Republicans refuse to let us do so. We're ready now. Let's fund TSA.

Americans are getting squeezed at the gas pump as Trump’s War in Iran sends gas prices soaring and money flowing to his Big Oil donors. This week, @khanna.house.gov and I reintroduced a bill to curb this profiteering and provide relief to consumers.

BREAKING: Republicans ONCE AGAIN blocked our bill to simply pay TSA agents. This is the SEVENTH time Republicans have blocked our attempts to fund the rest of DHS while talks to rein in ICE continue.

Senate Republicans just blocked my bill that would have paid TSA workers. My Republican colleagues are saying that if you don't give the President's overgrown paramilitary force of masked agents more money, they're going to leave TSA workers and others unpaid. I think that's patently unfair.

Families are making impossible choices: Pay bills or fill up the gas tank. Buy groceries or pick up a prescription. They deserve to not just get by, but get ahead. That’s what I’m working to deliver. For someone making $50k a year, my tax plan could save them over $2,800.

Even oil executives are warning Donald Trump that his war with Iran could cause “economic destruction” for American families.

I’m heartbroken by the shooting at a VA clinic in Jasper, Georgia yesterday. I'm praying for the victim who was injured and wishing them a full and speedy recovery. Keeping the Jasper community and our veterans in my thoughts. No one should face violence in a place meant for care.

I joined Senator Grassley to introduce the Baltic Security Assessment Act to encourage coordination between Congress and the Admin on threats posed to the Baltics. The U.S. must remain steadfast in support of our Baltic allies and the NATO alliance in the face of Russian and Chinese threats.

The American people don’t want the chaos and violence the Trump administration has brought to cities across America. They don’t want masked ICE agents ripping neighbors from their homes and tearing families apart. They want accountability and oversight at every level of our immigration system.

I toured the Kent County EMS HQ and met the dedicated professionals who serve our community around the clock. With new federal funding for a backup generator, their lifesaving work can continue without disruption, no matter what. Our first responders deserve nothing less.

Kristi Noem burned through $220 million in taxpayer funds on a self-serving, self-promoting ad campaign. No other Cabinet official should ever be allowed to waste your hard-earned dollars in that way or funnel it to their friends’ companies. 🧵

Cigarette smoking just hit a historic low—and the CDC was silent. RFK Jr.'s cuts to the CDC mean national anti-smoking work has gone up in smoke. It's time to restore the CDC's anti-smoking programs and keep up the progress—not let it burn away.

It is egregious that a five-time draft dodger is using our troops as cannon fodder in his illegal war of choice. Tonight, @booker.senate.gov is calling up his War Powers Resolution to stop these unjustified, unauthorized and deeply unpopular military actions in the Middle East.

Today I met with members of the Canadian Parliament to discuss trade, security, tourism, and more. Canada is our friend and ally and I will always work to maintain our strong relationship. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦

Republicans are claiming their bill keeps noncitizens from voting. That's a lie. It's about stopping CITIZENS from voting. It should be renamed the Stop Citizens from Voting Act, or "STOP ACT" for short. Every Senator should be a HELL NO on this bill.
