The Secretary of Homeland Security is quite literally at the fulcrum of some major issues we're dealing with as Americans, like the role of law enforcement and ICE in our streets. On both lines of questioning, Senator Mullin didn't get there for me. I am a no.

Gas prices? Up. Unemployment rate? Up. Stock market? Down. Are we winning yet?

Ant vs. President Obama — 1-on-1 in basketball, ping pong, and Connect 4. Not a bad way to highlight the Obama Presidential Center.

Today, we received another CLASSIFIED briefing on Iran, as this Admin refuses to hold public hearings w/ the war's real architects, like Rubio & Hegseth, b/c they want to hide the truth. The American people are watching the costs of this war of choice rise. They deserve ANSWERS.

America’s veterans understand the cost of war. I’m glad I got to talk to veterans today about how Trump dragging us into another prolonged conflict in the Middle East with no clear goals, strategy, or end state is so harmful.

Instead of debating how to help people address the rising cost of living or how to make their lives more affordable, we are debating how to make it harder for them to vote. That makes no sense.

All 100 Senators swore an oath not to Donald Trump, but to the Constitution. That’s why I’m fighting in the Senate tonight to end this reckless war.

We’ve now given Republicans multiple opportunities to pay TSA agents, FEMA, and our Coast Guard. They’ve blocked it every single time.
- JR
UPDATE: For the seventh time, Republicans voted to block TSA agents, FEMA personnel, & other federal employees from getting their paychecks.

As President Trump’s tariff policy and war in the Middle East hurts our farmers, I met with members of the Illinois Farm Bureau to discuss how Congress can support Illinois farmers and promote policies that will bring certainty and predictability back to our farm economy.

Americans don’t need to go through more paperwork and bureaucracy to vote. But that is exactly what the SAVE America Act would straddle seniors, veterans, and millions of other U.S. citizens with.

We keep trying to fund TSA and pay thousands of workers across this country, but Republicans refuse to let us do so. We're ready now. Let's fund TSA.

My Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act would send any big windfall for Big Oil back to the hardworking people who paid for it at the gas pump.

Trump is cheering on giant oil companies as they exploit world events to reel in massive profits. He couldn’t care less that you and your family are paying the price.

Americans are getting squeezed at the gas pump as Trump’s War in Iran sends gas prices soaring and money flowing to his Big Oil donors. This week, @khanna.house.gov and I reintroduced a bill to curb this profiteering and provide relief to consumers.

BREAKING: Republicans ONCE AGAIN blocked our bill to simply pay TSA agents. This is the SEVENTH time Republicans have blocked our attempts to fund the rest of DHS while talks to rein in ICE continue.

Senate Republicans just blocked my bill that would have paid TSA workers. My Republican colleagues are saying that if you don't give the President's overgrown paramilitary force of masked agents more money, they're going to leave TSA workers and others unpaid. I think that's patently unfair.

That $2,800 might not sound like much to millionaires, but to the families I meet across Arizona, it's making sure there's food on the table, gas in the tank, and hope for the future.
- MK
Families are making impossible choices: Pay bills or fill up the gas tank. Buy groceries or pick up a prescription. They deserve to not just get by, but get ahead. That’s what I’m working to deliver. For someone making $50k a year, my tax plan could save them over $2,800.

Even oil executives are warning Donald Trump that his war with Iran could cause “economic destruction” for American families.

I’m heartbroken by the shooting at a VA clinic in Jasper, Georgia yesterday. I'm praying for the victim who was injured and wishing them a full and speedy recovery. Keeping the Jasper community and our veterans in my thoughts. No one should face violence in a place meant for care.

I joined Senator Grassley to introduce the Baltic Security Assessment Act to encourage coordination between Congress and the Admin on threats posed to the Baltics. The U.S. must remain steadfast in support of our Baltic allies and the NATO alliance in the face of Russian and Chinese threats.

The American people don’t want the chaos and violence the Trump administration has brought to cities across America. They don’t want masked ICE agents ripping neighbors from their homes and tearing families apart. They want accountability and oversight at every level of our immigration system.

If we ever get to the point where you are being asked to put armed ICE officers at polling locations, we have lost the plot as a country. youtube.com/shorts/7nH65...

I toured the Kent County EMS HQ and met the dedicated professionals who serve our community around the clock. With new federal funding for a backup generator, their lifesaving work can continue without disruption, no matter what. Our first responders deserve nothing less.

I support requiring voters to show identification, like we do in Virginia. However, the SAVE Act discriminates against servicemembers, married women, rural Americans, and anyone else who doesn’t have a passport or their birth certificate on hand. (2/2)

The SAVE Act is the most blatant attempt at voter suppression in ages. (1/2)

I’ve introduced a bill to cut down on this shameful practice and protect your tax dollars.

Kristi Noem burned through $220 million in taxpayer funds on a self-serving, self-promoting ad campaign. No other Cabinet official should ever be allowed to waste your hard-earned dollars in that way or funnel it to their friends’ companies. 🧵

Cigarette smoking just hit a historic low—and the CDC was silent. RFK Jr.'s cuts to the CDC mean national anti-smoking work has gone up in smoke. It's time to restore the CDC's anti-smoking programs and keep up the progress—not let it burn away.

I think a third of all entry-level jobs could be wiped out by AI… and if that happens, we’re all gonna get hit with a massive economic downturn. I’m working on bipartisan solutions with some unexpected partners to get ahead of these changes and protect your job from AI.

This vote should be easy. Every Senator has a Constitutional duty to check this President, safeguard our troops and end this war no one wants.
- TD
It is egregious that a five-time draft dodger is using our troops as cannon fodder in his illegal war of choice. Tonight, @booker.senate.gov is calling up his War Powers Resolution to stop these unjustified, unauthorized and deeply unpopular military actions in the Middle East.

Today I met with members of the Canadian Parliament to discuss trade, security, tourism, and more. Canada is our friend and ally and I will always work to maintain our strong relationship. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦

Republicans are claiming their bill keeps noncitizens from voting. That's a lie. It's about stopping CITIZENS from voting. It should be renamed the Stop Citizens from Voting Act, or "STOP ACT" for short. Every Senator should be a HELL NO on this bill.

I met with the Illinois Fire Chiefs Association and Mutual Aid Box Alarm System leadership to discuss how Congress can improve fire & EMS services in Illinois. I was proud to help pass the SIREN Act to boost rural EMS funding & am committed to ensuring our firefighters have the resources they need.

Trump is trying to price you out of voting and give your power to his billionaire donors with the SAVE America Act. As a father, I refuse to let my kids grow up in a country doomed by Donald Trump.

The “SAVE America Act” would hand your private voter data over directly to the federal government. Weird way to ‘secure’ our elections but a great way to consolidate power.

Nonpartisan election workers across the country say the SAVE America Act will force voters to find all sorts of documentation, and create unworkable chaos on Election Day. Hear their voices:

Arizona Republicans want to defund universities that help students access abortion care. It's an attack on student health clinics and their rights to abortion care.

Republicans must stop blocking funding for TSA agents. GOP’s political dysfunction is negatively impacting air travel. Today, Republicans will have another opportunity to join Democrats to fully fund TSA, pay TSA agents, protect travelers, & keep America’s airports moving.

4 years ago, my Dr. Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Act became law to support the mental health of our healers. I was honored to work with the family of Dr. Breen, an MD from VA who died by suicide while serving on the COVID frontlines, to name the law after her.

This year, families will pay $2,500 each for Trump's illegal tariff costs. On top of the $1,700 paid last year. And that doesn't include the rising costs of gas, housing and groceries that are being driven up by his illegal war in Iran. The bill is adding up.
- KG
Trump is prioritizing his war over the needs of the American people.
