Since the "ceasefire" the Netanyahu govt has steadily taken control of more territory in Gaza, squeezing civilians into tighter areas, pushing them toward the sea. Where the hell is the Trump Admin & its so-called “Board of Peace” amidst this land grab?

Record low consumer sentiment, sky-high gas prices, and tax breaks for billionaires. Trump promised a golden age, but delivered nothing more than a payday for the Epstein class.

Shell just posted nearly $7 BILLION in profits—twice as high as the last year—thanks to Trump’s chaotic war with Iran, which has caused fuel costs to spike and given Big Oil an excuse to profit from sky-high prices. It's profiteering, and it's Trump at the pump.

There it is. Republicans’ SAVE Act is not about protecting the right to vote – it’s about putting up barriers to make it harder for certain people to vote. Senate Democrats will block this anti-democracy garbage from ever becoming law.

Republicans' plan: rip up Social Security, make it work worse for Americans, and sell it for parts. We won't let that happen.

Today is Military Spouses Day & I want to express how grateful I am to our military spouses for their sacrifices. Congress must do more than extend its gratitude; that’s why, from housing to affordable child care, I'm fighting to give military families the support they deserve.

While the advisory council provided a set of recommendations, it is Congress that must work to develop and pass FEMA reform legislation so that the people's voice is represented. I urge Secretary Mullin to uphold the commitment he made to work with us before implementing any changes at FEMA. 2/2

Trump is trying to convince the American people gas prices are going down after he caused them to skyrocket over 50%. He's not fooling anyone.

Trump told Americans that his luxurious ballroom was going to be privately funded. Now, he is trying to force American families to pay $1 BILLION for a ballroom that they didn’t ask for.

Stop five of my western Minnesota rural economy tour: Willmar. The intersection at Hwy 23 and CSAH 55 in Kandiyohi County has caused serious injuries and even deaths. I worked with Willmar Mayor Reese and local leaders to secure federal funding that will complete a new, safe overpass.

A decade later, Trump cut $1 trillion from Medicaid, ripped affordable coverage from millions and still has no credible health plan. Trump’s policies and lies have increased health costs and denied Americans coverage. Democrats have real plans to make health care affordable again.

Kash Patel is the most unqualified, dangerous FBI Director we’ve ever had. While Trump is waging an unpopular war with Iran and global threats remain high… Patel’s focus is elsewhere: himself.

Should be us. This is the price of the corrupt Trump administration decision to cede this entire industry to the Chinese, just for added gasoline sales for his big fossil fuel donors. Corruption has a cost. American industries will pay.

Americans are paying sky-high prices for gas, food, and housing. Senate Republicans are focused on $1 BILLION for Trump’s ballroom vanity project. After Trump promised for months that the ballroom would not cost taxpayers a dime. Backwards.

Spent time with Arizona veterans today talking about how we need to pass the Major Richard Star Act to stop combat-wounded vets from getting shortchanged. If you were medically retired due to war injuries, your retirement pay shouldn’t get cut dollar-for-dollar by your VA disability.

There is no reason the military should be at our polls. Period. When I asked, Secretary Hegseth wouldn’t answer directly. That’s because he knows President Trump is watching and doesn’t want to make him angry.

I’m deeply concerned by reports that the U.S. military could be supporting controversial Israeli military actions, including the forced displacement of 1 million civilians in Lebanon. Our troops shouldn't be put in a position to be supporting possible war crimes.

Trump pushed out as many VA providers as he could, without worrying about the consequences, and now the VA is refusing to fill badly-need clinical positions. This means longer wait times for veterans and more burnout for already overwhelmed providers. Our veterans deserve better.

A fitting ruling during Small Business Week! Tariffs are a tax on hardworking families and businesses. The White House needs to immediately return the money they stole.
