This is exactly why we need to pass the WARRIOR Act. Pete Hegseth continues raising the hurdles to prevent women from serving our country. They keep clearing them. Women meet and exceed these standards, but it’s Hegseth who refuses to accept it. thewarhorse.org/hegseth-mari...

Let's be clear: $38 billion is still a gross underestimate of what Trump's illegal war has actually cost. And they're expected to burn through $2 to $3 billion every month it drags on. Closed door briefings won't cut it. Congress must hold a public hearing immediately.

As debt hits 40 trillion and bond rate hits 5% will Republicans let big corporations and billionaires be taxed like normal people?

Donald Trump made the largest cuts to health care in this country’s history, and Lisa Demuth said it was “good for Minnesota.” We need a Governor who’s going to stand up for our state when Minnesotans are hurting, not be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump.

Since he was sworn in, Secretary Hegseth has always been more interested in winning culture wars than real ones. Our military pays the price for his distractions. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/14/u...?

Big Tech has shown they will stop at nothing in the Faustian pursuit of “innovation” posing life-threatening risks to our kids, our environment, our workers, and our rights. We need to pass my AI Accountability agenda to address current harms now and act to stop existential threats to our future.

This President is burning billions of OUR taxpayer dollars on an illegal war, he's also the reason our costs keep climbing. Trump's failure in Iran is costing us critical defense infrastructure and pushing prices higher every day. Our country can't afford any more of this.

I joined my colleagues in urging the Department of Education to reinstate critical guidelines that protect students from discrimination in career and technical education programs. Fair and equitable access to CTE is essential to our students and the strength of our economy.

President Kennedy understood that the arts and humanities draw us together. President Trump – through actions like this – spends too much time trying to divide Americans and misuse the levers of public office for personal vanity & private gain.

Folks should be able to afford the healthcare they need to lead a healthy, long life. It’s time to buck this trend and deliver on universal healthcare that works for hardworking Americans. That starts by reversing MAGA’s $1 trillion cut to our healthcare system.

Republican abortion bans are killing women—and the worst part is, they knew this would happen. Republicans care more about controlling women's bodies than they do about actually protecting them. Abortion rights in all 50 states.

Trump's illegal war of choice in Iran has already cost us over $38 BILLION, and that's before you factor in the rising costs you're paying for gas, groceries, & virtually everything else. To protect our troops, civilians in the region, & to lower prices we need to end this war, NOW.

Just a few days ago, a clearly marked Doctors Without Borders bus was struck by an Israeli military airstrike. Now, President Trump has approved sending 40,000 one-ton bombs to Prime Minister Netanyahu. The U.S. can't continue to supply weapons being used to commit war crimes.

I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE: I noted that the new Republican Chair of the Senate Budget Committee often calls Social Security a "Ponzi scheme." He actually called it a "LEGAL Ponzi scheme." Do his Republican colleagues agree?

President Trump said he was going to lower costs. Gas is at $4.36/gallon and Americans are paying hundreds of dollars more for housing than when he came back into office. And he’s spending his time fighting to get his name on the side of a building.

The price of diesel just hit an all-time high of $6.60 a gallon thanks to Donald Trump’s war in Iran. Every truck delivering groceries to the store runs on diesel – so high diesel prices means food costs go up. It’s past time to end this war and focus on lowering prices for hardworking families.

I am disappointed that we are back in the same position voting on the same Farm Bill this Committee considered in August. My hope was to return to a bipartisan process, rather than continue down this partisan path. Unfortunately, that did not happen.

Our economy should reward the people who actually keep it running, but the gap between the highest earners and working Arizonans keeps getting wider. People shouldn’t have to fall further behind while their hard work makes someone else rich.

Coloradans are facing higher prices everywhere they turn, and borrowing is about to get even more expensive. We have to end the administration’s harmful tariffs and unwanted war with Iran and start bringing down costs for working families.

President Trump promised to bring prices down. Instead, inflation is higher now than when President Biden left office.

We need to send a very strong message not just to Vladimir Putin, but to China and to anybody who is buying Russian oil and gas, that they are going to pay a price for that because they are facilitating Russia's unprovoked and horrific war in Ukraine.
