No. I will not vote for a penny more for this endless, illegal war.

DHS is facing a real crisis of accountability. Even the Republican Chairman warned Senator Mullin would set “a terrible example” for ICE and Border Patrol agents. I’m fighting to protect our rights, keep our communities safe, and hold this administration accountable. I will vote NO on Sen. Mullin.

Trump promised to bring down prices ‘on Day One.’ Instead, he’s driven up costs with his illegal tariffs, and the American people are paying the price.

Protecting Americans from PFAS is a matter of health—which is why I joined @mccollum.house.gov to introduce the Forever Chemical Regulation and Accountability Act. This bill will help phase out the unnecessary uses of PFAS and protect consumers & our environment from the hazards of these chemicals.

Not in this country. Americans deserve to know the truth about the President’s war with Iran. Threatening broadcasters’ media licenses over news coverage that the Admin doesn’t like is a direct attack on free speech. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/w...

Lo que Trump prometió: acabar con las guerras interminables y reducir los costos. Lo que Trump realmente está haciendo: iniciar guerras en el extranjero que aumentan los costos. Esta es una presidencia de promesas incumplidas. youtube.com/shorts/Lsxmv...

It’s added to his $1.5 trillion DOD FY27 request already made & would be spun as Congressional approval of the war itself.
- RB
This $200 billion Supplemental seems like a total nonstarter. It supports a deeply unpopular war that Trump has never asked Congress to approve, as Constitutionally required—without clear statement of objectives or strategy, disclosure of accurate cost info, or public hearings.

They are gladly holding workers’ pay hostage because they won't agree to reasonable reforms of ICE that most Americans support. Senate GOP can't say they're serious about security while refusing to fund its most basic functions.
- CC
Republicans are treating TSA workers as political leverage instead of the essential workers they are. Senate Dems have tried five separate times to fund TSA and other essential DHS functions – Republicans have blocked us every time.

AI and data center companies are making billions off their technology. They should help pay for the power grid it runs on. That's what my AI Horizon Fund would do — protect ratepayers, homeowners, and seniors while building the infrastructure America needs to lead on AI.

I joined @duckworth.senate.gov and a bipartisan group of 38 senators to call on the Trump Admin to stop delaying the release of energy assistance funding for families in need. As utility prices skyrocket, it is more important than ever that we help Americans afford their energy bills.
- PM
ICE and Border Patrol are sitting on a Republican slush fund. But Republicans are holding TSA workers' paychecks hostage unless they can give ICE & CBP even more money without BASIC reforms to prevent masked federal agents from breaking into people's homes & hurting them.
- MH
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Seven times. That's how many times Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. And every single time, Republicans have refused. They would rather protect ICE's lawlessness than protect our communities. How despicable.

In an emergency, outdated technology can cost lives. That’s why I’ve introduced bipartisan legislation this week to bring our 9-1-1 systems into the 21st century—so first responders can quickly receive texts, photos, and real-time information when it matters most.
- AK
The failures of DHS run far deeper than who holds the title of secretary. Americans deserve accountability for the lives that have been taken in our streets and the lawlessness we continue to see from ICE and CBP. 2/2
- AK
I voted against moving Senator Mullin’s nomination for DHS Secretary forward because there’s a rot deep to the core of this administration. 1/2

Generations upon generations have fought for the sacred right to vote. Which is why I'm standing in defense of that right and am voting NO on the so-called SAVE Act.

I’ll hold Senator Mullin to his word that ICE agents will no longer be instructed to forcibly enter people’s homes without a judicial warrant.

There needs to be fundamental reform of ICE. The public is crying out for that.

Our economy lost 92,000 jobs last month. President Trump’s chaotic tariffs, mass firings of federal employees, and federal grant cuts have weakened our economy and forced Americans to pay more for essentials.

Senate Republicans refuse to hold open hearings on the Iran War and its mounting costs. Tonight, I joined my Democratic colleagues in forcing that transparency. We will continue to demand answers from the administration, and an end to the war.

Trump and Republicans' SAVE America Act isn't solving problems—it's creating them by making YOU shell out for IDs and documents like a birth certificate or passport. They want to make voting more expensive—and Democrats won't let them.
video
- PW
The SAVE America Act would take away the right to vote for folks who have already gone through so much emotional, financial, and even physical pain. It's a bill that would fundamentally harm to our democracy. We must defeat it.
- PW
Then, even once you get your birth certificate or passport, the SAVE America Act requires that you physically go in person to register to vote, even if your state used to allow registration online or by mail.
- PW
To register, you'd need to request a new birth certificate. Most states charge a cost to do this (a poll tax) and there's a wait to receive the certificate (three weeks in Texas, for example). A passport is $130, plus a $35 facility acceptance fee—not to mention more fees if you need it expedited.
- PW
Under the SAVE America Act, you can't vote using a normal driver’s license. If your passport and your birth certificate were in your home when it was destroyed, you’re facing an entirely new barrier to vote.
- PW
In recent years, flooding, wildfires, and tornadoes have devastated communities in places like North Carolina, California, Texas, and my state of Vermont. Millions of families have had their homes partially or completely destroyed, homes where they keep their most important documents.
- PW
One aspect of the "SAVE America Act" that is deeply harmful and hasn't received enough attention is the fact that it makes it much harder for people impacted by natural disasters to vote.
- ES
The American people have seen this movie before in places like Iraq and Afghanistan — and they do not support it. And it’s why these issues of war of peace must be debated publicly in front of the American people.
- ES
And now, three weeks later, the consequences are coming home: 13 U.S. servicemembers dead and hundreds more injured, huge cost hikes on things like gas and fertilizer, and a cycle of military escalation that has no end in sight.

Tonight, I voted again to support a war powers resolution that would stop President Trump's war of choice in Iran. The President and his Administration started this war by failing to communicate any clear objective to the American people.
- EM
just voted for a War Powers Resolution to end President Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Congress must act with authority. End this war now.

- CH
$200 BILLION for a war of choice that Americans don't want and that isn't making us safer. This should be an absolute nonstarter. The best way to end this war, protect our troops, save civilian lives, & rein in a lawless Administration is to cut off funding. I’m a hell no.

Despite Trump’s war being unconstitutional and vastly unpopular, Senate Republicans blocked consideration of my War Powers resolution to stop this reckless war. This isn’t over. We will keep fighting until Americans get the transparency and accountability they deserve.

Nearly 70 million women have changed their names. Under Republicans' voter suppression bill, women may need to provide proof of citizenship AND documents to prove the name change, like a marriage certificate. If you ask me, that's not very pro-family of Republicans.

We have proof of what we've been through, and proof that we're made for this moment.

I was with veterans in the Capitol today to amplify their concerns about Trump’s unnecessary war with Iran. Rather than listen and vote to end it, too many senators chose to bow to a President who has called our fallen heroes ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’ This isn't over.

Our small businesses simply can’t afford to stay open under these conditions, which is why I’m joining my colleagues to introduce a bill to exempt them from Trump’s latest tariffs and provide them with much needed financial relief.

Small businesses are the backbone of Nevada’s economy, and they’re struggling amidst the chaos of Donald Trump’s cost-raising tariffs. ⬇️

The war in Iran is having a direct impact on Michiganders. They are feeling it in their pocketbooks. The price of gas is up. The last thing I saw when I left to fly back to Washington from Michigan was a 90-minute line for gas at Costco because it's so much cheaper.

After cutting $1 trillion from Medicaid, Republicans for the SECOND time voted against a resolution that would require Congress to approve further military action against Iran. Republicans are spending nearly $2 billion a day on this war, putting American service members and our economy at risk.
- AA
An affordability crisis is already gripping the nation, and it’s clear this President does not care. End the war. Save American lives. Lower our costs.

Gas prices have dramatically spiked, and more Americans have been killed in this unauthorized, illegal war of choice. War is always paid for by working class Americans.

Earlier this month, I voted for @kaine.senate.gov's War Powers Resolution to end the President’s war with Iran. Tonight, I voted for @booker.senate.gov's War Powers Resolution to end the President’s war with Iran. There is neither a rationale nor a strategy for this war.

They're not focused on the "worst of the worst." Trump's ICE agents in Texas just detained a DACA recipient who was on his way to deliver milk to his newborn daughter in the NICU. Republicans still want us to write a blank check for this cruelty. Not another dime! www.ms.now/news/ice-det...

I just voted to END the war with Iran, but Republicans blocked our effort to stop this conflict. Why is there money for a war no one asked for, but no money for health care here at home? I'll keep voting to end this war again and again. NO WAR WITH IRAN.
