Even Pentagon officials are wondering how they would spend Trump’s $1.5 trillion blank check. It’s way past due that funding goes to programs that make a sound difference in American’s lives—from food assistance, to education, to healthcare needs. www.youtube.com/shorts/gNbRO...

It is time Republicans stop treating matters of life or death like they are a game. Stop funding Trump’s illegal wars abroad. End the funding of the military occupations of American cities. Slash the Pentagon budget and stop lying to Americans about what their money is actually funding.

The ballot box is the beating heart of our democracy, and in the face of threats from AI disinformation, we need to do all we can to protect it.

Students with disabilities are students first. This illegal change will worsen outcomes & delay civil rights protections. The Dept of Education had decades of expertise helping kids learn according to their unique needs. Walking away from IDEA in its 50th year is plain cruel.

We all know Mackinac Island as one of our top vacation spots. But I got the behind-the-scenes tour of the public servants, police and fire departments that keep an island with no cars safe.

For 109 days, you have paid the price at the pump for Trump's reckless war in Iran. Today, I co-led a roundtable to highlight the strain that rising gas prices have put on working families, small businesses, and farmers in NJ and around the country.

While you unplug practically everything in your house to save on your electricity bill, Trump wants to spend hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to build himself a ballroom at the White House.

What can we do with $750 billion instead of funding unnecessary wars? Fund high speed rail, cancel out American’s medical debt, finance education programs, and fully fund SNAP. I’m introducing the Slash the Pentagon Act to cap Trump’s bloated Pentagon budget. www.youtube.com/shorts/aT6T0...

Schools are cutting Olympic sports programs & dropping scholarships. We can & should write better rules that put athletes first & keep our institutions strong. That is exactly what the Protect College Sports Act does. Thank you USOPC for voicing support!

Back in February, I asked a Trump nominee about this EXACT possibility & he dodged my questions. Just as I said back then, this whole process is corrupt to its core. Trump's admin is effectively trying to boost his own family's tainted crypto company. Unprecedented corruption.

Republicans jammed a repeal of the Roadless Rule into a bipartisan wildfire bill, putting millions of acres of public lands at risk without public input. I'm joining @heinrich.senate.gov in fighting back. We won't let Republicans sneak this through without a fight. Make your voice heard.

The rules of our economy are written by people who benefit from them. When CEOs make hundreds of times what their workers do and still get a tax cut, that's the result of decades of policy decisions that tilted the playing field. I'm here to fix it.

As one NH business owner put it, “[the cost of] everything is going up.” From implementing reckless tariffs to spiking fuel prices, President Trump’s policies are squeezing our state’s seafood industry—hurting fisherman and small business owners across the state. www.wmur.com/article/new-...

“Do you want to put federal employees in trauma?" should be an easy question for anyone overseeing our federal workforce. But today, this Trump nominee couldn't answer it. This admin's disdain for civil servants hurts all Americans by undermining their ability to serve us all.

Americans have spent hundreds more to fill up their tank during Trump's war of choice. You paid more while Trump loosened sanctions on Iranian oil – lining their pockets at the same time that Americans struggled with skyrocketing prices at the pump.

If the U.S. & Iran have arrived at a ceasefire, then why did Senate Rs block a bill that would require the President to secure congressional approval for further military action against Iran? This war has cost us enough already, & Congress must ensure it asserts its constitutional responsibility.

The historic 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will address our nation’s housing crisis by boosting housing supply, bringing down costs, and — for the first time ever — stopping private equity from buying up homes. This bill will be the biggest housing bill in more than 30 years. Let’s get it done.

With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.

Republicans are pushing for a half-TRILLION-dollar increase for Trump’s war budget and not a single cent more for child care. Trump promised no new wars and lower costs—he broke that promise. Democrats are pushing real solutions to actually make child care affordable.

Linda McMahon and Donald Trump continue to undermine our ability to educate our children and to fight against civil rights violations and hate on college campuses. From combatting antisemitism to supporting special education, this administration’s policies have been one failure after another.

In March, Trump said that no taxpayer would put up even 10 cents for his ballroom. Now, taxpayers are covering more than half of his $600 million project. Can the president stop lying to the American people?

Lucas Franco and the Laborers' Union get it: you can't solve a housing crisis without building. That means cutting red tape, working with the private sector, and lowering the cost of housing for Minnesotans. That's exactly what we're going to do.

A Lowell woman waited 5 months for a wheelchair repair and ended up in the ER on a ventilator. This isn't a fluke—too many Americans are paying the price when private equity puts profits over patients. I won't stop fighting to get corporate greed out of health care.
