"It's their fertilizer that's stranded, not our fertilizer." Try telling this to the majority of American farmers who can't afford the fertilizer they need because the Strait is closed. It’s a global commodity, of course it impacts us.

Let’s be clear: the rest of the world is watching. Ukraine can win this war, and we must ensure uninterrupted support for them.

Jimmy Kimmel: The truth is he doesn't know when this war is going to be done. The only war Trump had an exit plan for was Vietnam.

Do better research, I called him a brutal dictator yesterday. I stand by it. The problem is it’s not America’s job to go around the world pushing regime change with military force and running foreign countries. Trump promised to fix problems here at home, not Venezuela.

This housing bill passed with strong bipartisan support in both the House and Senate. It had buy-in from the White House. Real relief for families was just within reach. Trump is blocking it because he'd rather make it harder for you to vote than help you afford housing.

I voted for Mattis. I voted for Esper. But Hegseth has never led thousands of people, like Mattis had. He never ran the entire Army, like Esper did. No, the only things Hegseth has ever run, he’s run into the ground. For these reasons and more, I will vote no.

Anyone who can’t admit that Russia attacked Ukraine should not be helping make decisions about our national security.

Meet my State of the Union guest, Jeremy Schumacher. Without ACA tax credits, his health insurance costs jumped 288%. An $11,000 increase. Trump sold out the American people to give billionaires another tax break.

There’s no other way to spin it. The strikes are murder. They’re illegal. And they put our troops at greater risk.

Pete Hegseth never commanded a unit or a company—let alone battalions, brigades or whole armies. He does not have the experience to run a Department that includes 3 million servicemembers and civilians along with a budget of over $900 billion. He is unqualified and dangerous.

We're going to find out what happened. And we’re going to do everything we can to prevent this horrific tragedy from happening again. But to immediately question the aircrew as if they didn't earn their place in that cockpit is disgusting. Shame on Donald Trump.

Today, I voted in support of a resolution that would force Trump to get congressional approval before using military force against Venezuela. Senate Republicans blocked it—ceding their constitutional authority to Trump. Once again, they bent the knee to a wanna-be king.

Every day, our servicemembers live by the Soldier’s Creed—the words displayed behind me. How can we ask our troops to train to the highest standard if we confirm a guy who wants us to lower the standard to make him Secretary of Defense? Pete Hegseth must step aside.

"No one is more military than me" says a man who has never served a day in his life in a room with several actual Veterans. Is he serious? Well said, Senator Mark Kelly.

I want a democratic Iran. And I won’t shed a tear for the Ayatollah’s death. But my first concern will always be the national security of the United States. Trump is putting our troops and all Americans in danger without any real reason he can explain.

It's time for Pete Hegseth to let the military get back to its actual job and stop forcing it to do DHS's. If he wants to be DHS Secretary, he can apply for it once he's fired from the job he has due to his incompetence.

Our troops deserve a Commander in Chief who does right by them. Not one that throws them into an unjustified war with no plan and no end state—and works to hollow out the VA.

Pete Hegseth proved again and again that he does not have the qualifications, the breadth of knowledge or the moral fiber to lead the greatest military on the face of the earth. Nearly every single Republican voted to confirm him anyway. Our nation deserves better.

Tomorrow, my Republican colleagues have a decision to make. Will they put our military and our country ahead of their loyalty to Donald Trump? We cannot afford to confirm someone as dangerously unqualified as Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense.

If it was really about celebrating military families, we could put $30 million toward helping them offset the cost of their child care, food assistance and tuition… But it isn't. Trump is throwing himself a $30 million birthday parade just to stroke his own ego.

As a direct result of Senator Tuberville’s dangerous blockade of military promotions—for the sake of his own personal political agenda—our Marines have no Commandant for the first time in 164 years. This is a national disgrace.
