Good news: across the U.S., anti-immigration bills in state legislatures are failing—in large part because the business community is pushing back. I'm glad more folks are recognizing the immense contributions immigrants make to our nation. They deserve to be celebrated.

We’re two months into Trump’s war with Iran, and what does he have to show for it? 13 Americans dead and many more injured. Higher prices for Americans at home. Tens of billions of dollars spent. None of which has made life any better for the American people.

I welcome the long overdue release of Polish journalist Andrzej Poczobut who had been cruelly jailed in Belarus since 2021. It’s also time that Belarusian opposition leader and likely 2020 election winner Svetlana Tikhanovskaya be able to safely return.

Linda McMahon fired half the staff at the Office for Civil Rights—the people who handle cases of sexual harassment & assault against students. Know how many cases have been resolved since then? Neither did she. But you'd think the Secretary of Education could count to ZERO.

It's day 59 of Trump's war with Iran. Gas prices are 40% higher since the war began.

Education Secretary McMahon claimed TRIO and GEAR UP, which open the door for thousands to attend college, is too costly. But somehow, cutting taxes for our nation’s wealthiest and exploding our national debt by over 4 trillion isn’t. It’s clear where this Administration's priorities lie.

Note the common theme across DHS funding, the reconciliation bill, and 702 extension: all three are tangled up in internal Republican squabbling. This is NOT partisan division, this is Republican incompetence. Get the news right, please.

If you work hard and play by the rules, you deserve a chance to get ahead – but the things you buy every day have cost your family an EXTRA $2,300 since January 2025. It doesn’t have to be this way. I’ll keep fighting to do everything in my power to bring you financial relief.

Secret Service has briefed me on the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. USSS answered my questions thoroughly. The Washington Hilton is a time tested venue, but we should let the post-incident investigation progress to identify what processes can be improved.

I just paid tribute to John Bartholomew. He was a loving father, a good man, and a committed Chicago PD officer fatally shot in the line of duty over the weekend. May he rest in peace.

This is a big win. Congress is waking up to the insanity of letting the government spy on Americans without a warrant. The only path forward on FISA is reform.

As our nation wages Donald Trump’s reckless war, DHS is still not funded because the President’s own party is in total chaos. Instead, Trump decides to focus on a $400 million, taxpayer funded, gold-plated ballroom. This man’s values are perverse.

In Hawaii, gas prices are up over 28%. That means people in Hawaii are paying AT LEAST $45 MORE a month just on gas alone. The reason? Trump's illegal war in Iran.

Trump's Iran war killed 13 U.S. servicemembers and thousands of civilians and spiked gas prices—and the Iranian regime is still in place. Now, Trump says "Cuba is next." Today, the Senate will vote on my resolution to prevent another illegal and unnecessary regime change war.

Universal school vouchers have been a bad deal for education in Arizona. They drain resources from public schools and leave working families and kids with disabilities behind. That’s why I’m fighting to repeal Republicans’ new national school voucher program.

President Trump needs to spend less time with his billionaire golf buddies and more time speaking with working families. They will tell him that the rising cost of living is crushing them, and that they need help now.

Secretary Hegseth sent troops to fight in Iran but refused to take basic steps necessary to protect them. Then, when service members died, he tried to cover up those failures. Hegseth's leadership is one betrayal after another. He must be held accountable.

Gas prices continue to rise every single day. We're now paying an average of $4.18 per gallon for gas. It's unsustainable. You had no say in Trump’s war but you’re paying its price.

As King Charles visits the U.S., it’s worth reflecting on the status of one of our most important alliances. We have ignored and assailed the British to the point where we are at war with Iran, and without a friend to be found.

Trump’s policies continue to put a serious dent in driver's wallets. Gas prices are up & RIers are being forced to pay an extra $1.14 per gallon over last year. Rhode Islanders are also paying more for food and other goods due to Trump’s unauthorized war and unfair tariffs.

Trump wants a $1.5 trillion slush fund for his “Department of War.” That’s eight times what he wants to spend on health and education combined. Americans want health care—not warfare.

A huge scam: Trump’s DOJ is now using taxpayers as a piggybank to pay off his followers. They have spent $8.5 million and counting of your money to pay off frivolous claims, enriching his friends while corrupting our justice system.

We have no time to waste. The Trump Admin's funding freezes, along with aging dams and record snowmelt in our state, are converging into a real public safety challenge. The Trump Admin must release the federal funding already signed into law to address what we are seeing in Northern Michigan.
