Trump has no plan to make health care affordable for the American people. He’s forcing families to spend more on health care, groceries, and electricity—all while Big Oil CEOs get richer with an illegal war with Venezuela.
Trump built his economic agenda on an illegal power grab. Now, the Supreme Court has an opportunity to send people their money back, starting with the small businesses that paid over $47 billion in Trump tariffs this year.
Screenshot of headline reading: US tariffs that are at risk of court-ordered refunds exceed $133.5 billion
Trump's reckless attack on Venezuela has left Massachusetts families trapped after their holiday travels. I am keeping a close eye on the Department of Transportation and the airlines to ensure they are working to safely get families home without delay or financial hardship.
RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine crusade makes "America First" in reversing decades of progress to keep kids healthy. Today's announcement means more children and families will suffer under Trump and RFK's Make America Sick Agenda.
US to slash routine vaccine recommendations for children in major change experts say creates doubt
Jabs to prevent influenza, rotavirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and other vaccines are no longer fully recommended
Who wins from Trump’s illegal war for oil on Venezuela? Big Oil Billionaires. Who loses? The rest of us. The Venezuelan people deserve better, and the American people deserve transparency. I’m demanding answers.

I’ve been sounding the alarm on ICE’s dangerous facial recognition technology—and now we’re seeing the consequences. The Trump administration is weaponizing this technology to target Black and Brown communities and expand its authoritarian surveillance network. This must end now.
ICE Is Using Facial-Recognition Technology to Quickly Arrest People
Widespread use has raised alarms among privacy advocates and some former officials
Union employees at SBA were reinstated with back pay after facing back-and-forth firings, chaos, and cruelty last year. I’m proud to have worked with AFGE and my Senate colleagues to bring stability to our civil servants and SBA. This illegal mistreatment must never happen again.
Did Donald Trump notify Congress before taking military action in Venezuela? No. Did Donald Trump notify his Big Oil Buddies? Yes. It was always about oil.
Reporter: Did you speak with the oil companies before the operation? Did you tip them off? Trump: Before and after. They want to go in and they’re going to do a great job.
Trump can't manage the American economy and now he says he’ll run Venezuela and its oil infrastructure? We’ve seen what happens when we destabilize countries on behalf of American fossil fuel CEOs—they profit, service members die, and regions collapse. We cannot let this stand.
The Trump administration is lying to Congress and ignoring our constitutionally required approval for military action. This is what dictators do. This war is not just unjustified—it is unauthorized.

This war is not just unjustified—it is unauthorized.

Trump’s attack on Venezuela puts American lives in danger, destabilizes the region, and risks another endless war. 

Congress must get answers. The American people must get answers. And Trump must be held to account for this reckless, illegal act of war.
