Trump wants to rob American families to pay for war. That is what his budget for next year boils down to.

The same guy who has said our country can't afford child care or health care because we have to fund wars has spent at LEAST $43 BILLION of your tax dollars on his war with Iran. I voted to END Trump's war with Iran—Republicans voted to keep it going.

In less than 24 hours, Trump went from saying he'll never cut Medicaid (he already passed the largest cut in history last year) to holding the program hostage for an entire state. Trump is using the most vulnerable people in our communities as political pawns. It's disgusting.

When will the shutdown end? As soon as Republican leaders stop twiddling their thumbs and sit down with Democrats to negotiate. It could end TODAY if they decide to work with us to reopen the government and stop health care costs from skyrocketing.

Republicans held a hearing on Medicaid fraud today, so I asked a top health expert: what bill delivered the largest cuts to Medicaid in American history? Yep. Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Seems to me like the biggest Medicaid theft actually happened last year in Congress.

Trump created a $1.8 billion slush fund to send massive checks to MAGA loyalists & even violent criminals who stormed the Capitol. I will do everything possible to stop this corrupt heist of YOUR tax dollars.

We don’t need a Congress that only listens to the wealthy – we need a Congress that actually listens to real people. Republicans’ refusal to work with Democrats to prevent health care costs from exploding is putting real people in an impossible situation.

House Republicans advanced bills to abolish the Department of Education. But let's be clear: I'll make certain those bills are dead on arrival in the Senate. I will fight tooth and nail to make sure America stands up for our kids and students. Full stop.

I just voted to END Trump's war with Iran. America should not sacrifice the lives of our servicemembers or billions in taxpayer dollars in another forever war. NO WAR.

Bailing out Argentina. Trade wars against our allies. Private jets for Kristi Noem. Bulldozing the White House for his fancy ballroom. President Trump is focused on ANYTHING but reopening the government and preventing premiums from imploding.

I just voted NO on the motion to proceed on the Big Ugly bill. Let’s be clear: Voting YES on this procedural motion IS voting to let Republicans pass the largest health care cuts in history. This isn’t over. There will be debate & amendments. SENATORS MUST VOTE DOWN THIS BILL!

Trump deported a VETERAN. You heard that right. ICE & CBP are out of control–exiling the very men who fought for our freedom and risked their lives for our country.

Trump wants the Department of Justice to pay him $230 million of YOUR taxpayer dollars. So, while health care costs rise for millions of Americans, our billionaire President is sticking his hand out. Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. Full stop.

On the 60th anniversary of Medicaid & Medicare, let's make sure everyone knows that REPUBLICANS voted to enact the largest cut to MEDICAID and health care EVER. 15 MILLION Americans will lose health care. The fight to reverse these cuts is today and every day until we do.

The reality is that there is a point when it will be too late to make a meaningful difference on health care premiums—and so far, Republicans are saying “never” to stopping the worst of the MAGA health care hike.

ICE broke Erik Zepeda's wrist—a special needs student in California—and he wasn't even who they were looking for. No apology, no accountability. NOTHING. I am sick and tired of ICE's cruelty and unchecked violence. VOTE.

Republicans call Social Security a "Ponzi scheme" and talk about making cuts. Democrats have plans to scrap the cap and real fixes to make sure you get YOUR money. You get to choose what happens with your voice and vote on Election Day.

BREAKING: the House just passed my bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent! Leader Thune should bring this bill to a vote in the Senate so we can finally get this done. More sunshine. Less depression. Let's finally lock the clock!

I'm honored to officially become the President Pro Tempore of the Senate today. It's not lost on me the significance of what it means to be the first woman to serve in this role. This is another sign that slowly but surely, Congress is looking more like America.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Wonder why beer isn't $5 anymore? Laney told me how her brewery would order tap handles and the tariffs would INCREASE mid-shipment. The tariff would be as expensive as the product itself by the time it gets to them! A Democratic majority would fight to END Trump's trade wars.

Scientists in Atlanta were stopped from criticizing the Trump admin at a scientific conference, so let me do it here: Trump is destroying biomedical research in America, and it will take decades to get back on track. Spread the word. Stand up for science.

I have never in my entire career seen a President so unwilling to even TALK to Democrats about how to solve problems for the American people. This is the most corrupt President in American history and EVERYONE should be outraged.

I asked Director Patel to pass on my thanks for FBI's work stopping a crook who scammed Medicare out of $205 million. He obliged. Only problem? Trump pardoned that scammer. So which is it? Should the FBI keep uncovering fraud, or should Trump keep pardoning these crooks?

A DHS K9 mauled my constituent, Wilmer. He's married to a U.S. citizen, has 3 U.S.-born children, and has NO criminal convictions. You can care about enforcing our immigration laws and still know this is deeply wrong. He poses no threat. ICE must release him so he can get appropriate medical care.

On Thursday, ICE needlessly detained Eduardo Aguirre Esparza, a local Seattle small business owner with no criminal history. This is a man who is married to an American citizen and with deep ties to our local community who was working hard to pursue a legal pathway to lawful permanent residence. For the federal government to waste its resources to forcefully detain and deport Eduardo and tear apart an American family is plain sick. Our immigration enforcement should be focused on violent criminals and keeping Americans safe—deporting hardworking people like Eduardo makes no one safer, it’s just cruel and wrong.

We NEED the Dept. of Education—no matter how much Republicans try to tell you otherwise. Schools need funding. Students’ rights need to be protected. Teachers & parents need data to know how to help kids succeed. But Trump & McMahon are breaking all of that to pieces.

JD Vance is outright LYING when he says Democrats are giving health care to illegal immigrants in our funding bill. How do I know? Because I wrote it! Undocumented immigrants are NOT eligible for federal health care programs. But our bill DOES stop your premiums from doubling next year.

Trump can lie about health care for illegal immigrants all day long. But the cold, hard reality of hospitals closing, people losing their health care, & premiums more than doubling is going to be a wake-up call. Trump doesn't care about your health care or how much it costs.
