Trump promised no new wars and lower prices, and Americans are seeing the exact opposite.
Gas prices and energy costs won't stabilize at the drop of a hat. The best time to end this was yesterday. The next best time is NOW.
No war with Iran. Lower prices.
Trump says we can’t afford the basics families need.
But he’s got $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to stop offshore wind projects that would lower energy costs.
Families get excuses. Big interests get checks.

I’m thrilled that after years of hard work, Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, the largest commercial-scale offshore wind project in the U.S., is producing clean, reliable energy. I’m proud to support VA’s leadership in the clean energy economy.
On Saturday, average gas prices surged to $3.93 a gallon—nearly a dollar higher than right before Trump’s Iran strikes. Whether you’re going to the grocery store, work, or your kid’s day care, Trump’s war is costing you money.
It’s the Affordable Care Act’s 16th anniversary. Today, I’m frustrated that the GOP is hellbent on destroying it and allowed ACA enhanced premium tax credits to expire last year—raising health care costs for millions. We must restore those tax credits and strengthen the ACA.
Our servicemembers and their families deserve access to affordable prescription drugs. My bipartisan Rx ACCESS Act would help make that happen, and I’m going to keep working with my colleagues to pass it.
More than 80 percent of deaths during pregnancy, childbirth, or postpartum are preventable. We must do more to address this and lower maternal mortality rates. That’s why I’m introducing legislation to boost maternal vaccination rates, address disparities in care, and save lives.
Earlier this week, I joined veterans to talk about how America needs to learn from the past. More than 14,000 U.S. servicemembers and contractors died, more than 65,000 were injured, and more than $8 trillion was spent in forever wars in the Middle East. We can’t repeat these mistakes in Iran.
If our servicemembers are being asked to risk their lives in this war, then the White House and Congress shouldn't be afraid to put the facts of this war before the American public so they can make a judgement about whether it's in our best interest. I'm going to keep pushing.
First, Trump tried to end-run Congress by starting an unauthorized, illegal war with Iran. Now he’s trying to end-run the American people by disenfranchising millions of eligible voters. He’s so scared Republicans can’t win that he’s trying to cheat.

Thank you to the National Foreign Trade Council Foundation for honoring me with the World Trade Award for my work on trade, including challenging senseless trade policies that are taxing Americans and causing chaos for American businesses. I’m going to keep at it.
Eid Mubarak! I’m wishing a peaceful and meaningful Eid al-Fitr to Muslim communities in Virginia and around the world.
Today, I sent a letter to the Navy raising concerns about the extended deployment of USS Ford and the impacts for the ship’s maintenance and deployment cycle, Sailors’ morale and wellbeing, and Navy retention. Our servicemembers and their families deserve better.
Trump is considering deploying thousands of troops to the Middle East to expand operations in his war-of-choice against Iran. That would needlessly risk the lives of our troops and only escalate the crisis.

Sailors with the Ford Carrier Strike Group have been at sea for nearly 9 months. They should be home with their families. Lengthy deployments and terrible ship conditions are bad for our servicemembers, their families, readiness, and military retention.

Promoting disability rights can significantly boost global security and prosperity. I’m proud to introduce legislation to enhance U.S. engagement on disability rights around the world and ensure State Department staff with disabilities have access to equal opportunities.
Lo que Trump prometió: acabar con las guerras interminables y reducir los costos.
Lo que Trump realmente está haciendo: iniciar guerras en el extranjero que aumentan los costos.
Esta es una presidencia de promesas incumplidas.

I was with veterans in the Capitol today to amplify their concerns about Trump’s unnecessary war with Iran. Rather than listen and vote to end it, too many senators chose to bow to a President who has called our fallen heroes ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’ This isn't over.
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.
