Gas prices are soaring at home, but instead of ending his illegal and reckless war abroad, Trump is easing sanctions on Russia to sell more oil. Trump’s war is now benefitting his buddy Putin, who is helping Iran. And more money for Putin will hurt Ukraine. What a disaster.

Trump said it himself – rising gas prices are a tax on the American consumer. That’s why he needs to do something about it.

There are about a zillion problems with our health care system (and pretty much everyone across the political spectrum agrees on that!) "Too many people have health insurance" is not one of said problems.

They are forcing hospitals to close. Kicking people off their insurance. Taking food away from hungry families. All while launching yet another war in the Middle East. It’s a disgrace.

ICYMI: Republicans BLOCKED my bill to fund TSA. Republicans are punishing travelers and forcing TSA agents to work without pay because they want to cut another blank check for ICE & Border Patrol. It's shameful.

President Trump is holding the Senate hostage to pass his SAVE America Act — legislation that will make it harder for millions of Americans to vote.

From Roots to Star Trek to Reading Rainbow, @levarburton.bsky.social knows firsthand the power of storytelling. It's an honor to have his endorsement of Open Doors, Open Books Act, legislation I've introduced in Congress to ensure every kid is able to access books & unlock the power of reading.

Trump’s war with Iran is already driving up costs for American families at the gas pump. Before energy prices go up even more, the American people deserve real answers from the president on why we are in this war in the first place and how we’re getting out of it. www.detroitnews.com/story/news/l...

Instead of working to bring down grocery prices, gas costs, or health care premiums that are crushing working families, Trump is prioritizing his war and making it harder for Americans to vote.

This was my second visit to the ICE facility in Baltimore. Each time, it made the hair stand up on my arms. The conditions are inhumane, and the treatment of people is unacceptable. Instead of lowering gas prices, this Administration chooses to spend its time on this CRUELTY.

While Americans are increasingly dipping into their retirements to make ends meet, Trump raises costs and starts new wars overseas. He claims we're in a "Golden Age," but the only thing golden is the paint he's using on the White House.

Americans want lower costs and no new wars. Instead, Trump is driving up costs—for things like airfare to visit loved ones or take a needed vacation—through his new, illegal war against Iran. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/10/t...

We know weapons from the Indo-Pacific have been moved to the Middle East and that China is part of an Axis with Iran. China is our biggest competitor and threat. When we take actions like in Iran that give China an opening, it is to the detriment of the U.S.

Trump’s illegal war with Iran is hitting Americans hard—at the pump, at the grocery store, and on their utility bills. Americans deserve to know what the cost of Trump’s reckless actions will be for themselves and their families as he continues this war. I'm calling for answers.

Making your voice heard is more important than ever. Just one person can make a difference – and you don’t have to run for office to see change happen in your community. Write letters, call your local representatives, stay informed and keep showing up. Your voice matters.

Since President Trump came back into office, we’ve been told again and again there is no money for health care or food assistance. But apparently there is always money for billionaire tax cuts and a misguided war.

I just left another briefing on Iran. Here's the only part of Trump's plan that is clear to me: He won't spare a cent for the 15 million Americans who will lose their health care, but he'll spend a billion dollars a day bombing Iran.

Donald Trump lied. No other leader in the Administration—not even Pete Hegseth—is claiming Iranian tomahawk missiles were responsible for the bombing that killed 170 people at an Iranian all-girls’ school. There needs to be a full, INDEPENDENT, and transparent investigation.

Numbers don't lie. Homeownership is out of reach for a lot of families. Congress could be investing in programs to help make housing more affordable—but instead, Trump is spending billions on a war with no clear endgame.

Pretty weird that Trump says the war is winding down when the stock market is open… and as soon as it closes, he becomes honest again that this is an indefinite conflict…

Last week, Republicans blocked funding for TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard—critical agencies responsible for keeping Americans safe and responding to natural disasters. In doing so, they’ve prioritized shielding ICE and DHS from accountability over funding the agencies Americans rely on in crisis.

Donald Trump is risking the lives of our troops, the safety of the American people, the stability of the world economy, and blowing a billion dollars a day based on whims, feelings, and contradictions. His incompetency is dangerous and destructive.

Americans are struggling to afford rent, child care, health care, gas, and groceries in Trump’s economy. They don’t want another endless war in the Middle East.

I’m introducing a bill to ban bets on war and death in prediction markets. Betting on war and death creates an environment in which insiders can profit off of nonpublic information, our national security is jeopardized, and violence is encouraged. Congress must act.

Trump’s strikes on oil infrastructure in Iran released massive plumes of toxic smoke, inflicting environmental warfare on innocent Iranian families—alarming their loved ones in Massachusetts and worldwide. This is a human rights violation. Trump must stop this illegal war.

This flippant response is absolutely unacceptable from the Commander in Chief. 11 days into Trump's war with Iran and he still cannot give the American people a clear answer on why he started this war and how long it will last.

Billions of dollars spent on the War in Iran, but we don’t have enough money for the things that help Americans here at home? Health care. Food stamps. Housing. Tariff relief. Lot of things we could do with billions of dollars.

Trump said that the war in Iran was “complete,” but Hegseth said today will be the most intense day of strikes yet. How is it possible that Trump and his cronies can’t make it 12 hours without contradicting themselves about this war?

After gutting Medicaid & ending the ACA’s enhanced premium tax credits, millions of Americans lost the peace of mind of quality coverage for their families. Dr. Oz still believes that too many Americans have an ACA plan. How many more people will lose their health care because of this Admin?

Trump is lying and children are dying in Iran. Trump claimed again that Iran attacked a girls’ school where 175 people died, mostly children, using a Tomahawk missile. Not true. Only the US uses Tomahawks in this war. Trump must own up to this tragedy. We must end this war.
