Trump’s presidency is so failed and broken, he is resorting to trying to bribe the American people for their votes. An insult to Americans, to democracy, and an admission of how absolutely screwed he is.

NEW: U.S. diesel prices have hit an ALL-TIME HIGH of $5.97/gallon. Remember: higher diesel prices mean higher delivery and heating costs. Your energy bill, your groceries, packages at your door— all of it will cost more. Donald Trump’s war with Iran did this.

The fear and trauma that Evergreen High School students, families, and educators experienced that day have not disappeared. We owe it to them – and all of Colorado – to act and to build a future where no child has to experience this kind of violence at school.

One year ago today, the Evergreen community experienced an unthinkable act of gun violence.

Trump’s $1.3 TRILLION attempt to pay off voters would explode the deficit, drive up the cost of home and auto loans, and send inflation skyrocketing. Americans already think Trump’s economy is a disaster. Now he’s trying to make it even worse.

Corey Lewandowski's tenure at DHS can be defined as nothing but astonishingly corrupt. His self-enrichment even as Americans have been financially squeezed by higher prices is despicable and deserves a full investigation. Good riddance. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

$1M every two minutes. That’s how much Americans are paying for Trump’s illegal war in gas prices alone. While your costs keep rising, Trump’s focused on vanity projects and forever wars. www.axios.com/2026/09/07/i...

I say this everywhere I go, including in Ironwood in the UP. If you need help with any federal agency, get in touch with our team. We have staffers, and all they do is help people solve their problems with the federal government. It often means banging pots and pans until we get an answer.

At a time of real global uncertainty, Trump is picking a fight with Canada! Seriously! He is banning Canadian beer, milk, motorcycles, and more. This is stupid. YOU pay the tab on Trump’s tariffs—NOT Canada. END the trade war NOW.

From day 1 we said the Dobbs decision was never about states' rights, it was about limiting women's access to care. To put an end to these relentless Republican attacks, we must codify reproductive freedoms in law & make clear that a woman's right to choose is her decision.

According to the UN, global temperature rise will exceed the 1.5°C (2.7°F) “tipping point” threshold that will only lead to worse floods, wildfires, and storms. Our challenge is clear: we need to rapidly reduce fossil fuel emissions to ensure a livable future for our planet.

Henderson is proof that small towns can grow and rebuild. We helped to flood-proof their highway and the work just got done. Great place to visit in the fall to see their hummingbird center and garden, bike trail, nature center, and much more! https://ow.ly/M9E850ZLAJh

Trump promised American workers a 'golden age' but he delivered another Gilded Age for billionaires & big corporations. In the post-WWII era, working people have never gotten a smaller share than today. Meanwhile, Trump & his buddies have never had it so good.

A USPS whistleblower has confirmed what we all know to be true: President Trump's move to restrict mail-in ballots will make it harder for U.S. citizens to vote. I know that Granite Staters and all Americans are not going to let these kinds of tricks stand in the way of making their voices heard.

Trump is using the power of the U.S. government to give a private company 100-year rights to Venezuelan oil, while the Pentagon gets a stake in the company. Secretary Hegseth is failing in Iran, so we're going to put him in charge of an oil company too? www.cnbc.com/2026/09/05/t...

President Trump’s tariffs have already cost American families as much as $5,000 in some states, and his senseless trade war with Canada will only grow that number. @slotkin.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov

For families in the UP, higher fuel costs really affect things due to the long distances: the commute to work, trips to the grocery store, getting kids to school, and keeping a small business running.

Trump wants to raid an underfunded child care program with HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of families already on waiting lists to give money EXCLUSIVELY to married parents. Sorry, did single parents stop paying taxes? It’s NOT 1950—I'll be fighting to stop this grift.

Mail-in voting is safe and secure. The Constitution gives Congress and the states authority over federal elections. Not the President. It’s why I joined my colleagues in filing a brief challenging President Trump’s executive order and the USPS rule seeking to control how mail-in ballots are handled.
