Senate Republicans tried to use $1 billion of taxpayer dollars for Trump’s ballroom in their partisan budget – while they’ve still done nothing to help American families afford the rising cost of living.

NEW: Democrats are demanding Republicans stop refusing to nominate or confirm Democratic board members to agencies required BY LAW to have bipartisan members. Stop breaking the law. Stop undermining our agencies that perform vital services for Americans. www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Every day, military spouses make sacrifices for our country. They deserve our support. That's why I joined @markwarner.bsky.social Warner in a letter to the Office of Personnel Management regarding the lack of progress in improving the retention of federal employees who are military spouses.

Trump doubled down on his reckless decision to appoint Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence. At a time when the US is at war and prepping for massive security events like the World Cup & America250, we need a DNI with extensive experience in national security. Pulte has none.

DOGE’s painful legacy is coming into view and it’s as ugly as one of these worms. The Trump admin needs to get this screwworm issue under control before it hurts more of our farmers.

Bill Pulte is a political hack and lapdog for the President. He will do or say anything Trump wants, making him nothing short of a threat to American national security. The stakes are real. Republicans should join us in insisting a serious intelligence official replace Pulte.

Too slow, too meager & too dangerous. The CFTC is showing once again that it’s nothing more than a tool of Kalshi & Polymarket, encouraging addictive gambling, fraudulent bets & national security risks rather protecting consumers & public safety.

We are over 100 days into Trump's war with Iran, and this is where we are at: ⚫ A helicopter with troops in it was downed ⚫ Iranian bombs are heading to U.S. bases ⚫ Inflation is spiking ⚫ A deal doesn’t look around the corner This is a disaster, and we need to end this war now.

They lied in April. They lied in May. They're lying in June. Trump's word means nothing. So Democrats will keep forcing votes on our War Powers Resolution to end this reckless war.

Today is the Equal Pay Act's 63rd birthday. Signed by JFK, it was meant to ensure equal pay for all. But last year, women in VA still earned about 80 cents for every dollar earned by men. I am committed to passing the Paycheck Fairness Act to close the wage gap.

After today’s hearing on my bipartisan Protect College Sports Act with Senators Cruz and Cantwell, I’m encouraged by the athletes and coaches who agree that it’s time to bring stability to college athletics and make sure student-athletes are protected on and off the field.

College sports needs clear rules that protect student-athletes and preserve the games, teams, and traditions fans love.

Inflation is at its highest level since 2023. Gas prices are above $4 per gallon. Groceries get more expensive every week. The President may love it but the American people sure as hell don't.

Today, we mark the 63rd anniversary of the Equal Pay Act becoming law. But, even in 2026, women are still paid less than men for the same work. Women deserve equal pay for equal work, and I’ll keep fighting until we make that a reality.

Trump is installing an unqualified yes-man to gut our intelligence agencies in the middle of a war that he started. He's putting his political vendettas over our national security.

Do you want your taxpayer dollars going to detaining hundreds of babies and toddlers? I know I sure don't. But Republicans just voted to hand ICE $70,000,000,000 to continue doing just that. A completely evil abuse of taxpayer dollars and power. www.ms.now/news/trump-i...

Top Republicans like Scott Bessent have pushed for privatizing Social Security. Elon Musk, who funds the GOP, said Social Security is a "Ponzi Scheme." The fight to protect Social Security for all Americans is being fought RIGHT NOW—it's time to STAND UP for Social Security.

Social Security is a lifeline that Americans earn after a lifetime of hard work, but in six years its trust fund will not be able to pay out its full benefits. I joined my colleagues, Democrats and Republicans, to demand that Congress act to preserve this program for our kids and grandkids.

Trump’s economy: 4.2% inflation and working families squeezed on gas, groceries, healthcare, and housing. The priorities are backwards. End this illegal war and let’s focus on making life affordable.

Trump and Republicans just handed ICE $70 billion. How much more money do they need to pad the wallets of big corporations like GEO Group and fund the lawlessness in our streets and the cruelty inside detention centers like Delaney Hall? It's OUR money and it's disgusting.

First Trump’s tariffs raised prices, now his unauthorized war is causing energy prices to soar. It's clear Republicans in Washington don't care about the strain they are putting on Americans’ wallets.

As President Trump signs the Republicans’ bill to give $70 billion to ICE and CBP without any commonsense reforms, I’m thinking of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. They should still be here, and they deserve accountability.

Trump is using taxpayer dollars meant to maintain the beauty of our national parks for his own vanity projects instead. Trump’s self‑aggrandizing is coming at the cost of maintaining California’s most treasured natural wonders.

Donald Trump's policies are accelerating Social Security’s insolvency. Here’s a common-sense solution: My bill would fund Social Security for the next 75 YEARS by making the wealthy pay their fair share — and EXPAND benefits at the same time. It’s time to act.

An inflation rate of 4.2% is too high for American households to endure. Rising energy prices because of the war with Iran is the biggest reason the cost of living is going up and this Administration has no plan to deal with it.
