This response from the American people’s elected representatives should’ve never taken this long—and it should’ve been unanimous.

America is less safe and worse off—and Senate Republicans’ vote today does not wash their hands of the damage already done.

Donald Trump promised the American people no more wars and lower costs. Instead, families are suffering through a disastrous war that killed 14 servicemembers, burned through at least $35 billion, drove costs through the roof and…

I’ve been saying this from the start: this illegal war should’ve never happened.

This outcome is what happens when our nation’s leaders prioritize bombs over diplomacy. It’s one of the worst deals ever made—and I’ll use every tool at my disposal to ensure not another cent goes toward Trump’s failed war.

And what did the American people get in return for all the economic pain their President promised would pay off? Nothing. We are less safe, less secure and worse off than before.

It’s the biggest payout without any conditions on a long-time adversary who wishes America harm.

It allows Iran to keep its nuclear program and continue arming terrorist proxies in the region.

This disastrous, incompetent deal is full of concessions and forfeits every single goal Trump threw at us to justify a war that has cost 14 servicemembers’ lives, burned through at least $35 billion and ran our economy into the ground.

For over 100 days, an ‘end’ to this illegal and expensive war is all anyone has asked for. But there can be no other interpretation: Iran won, Trump caved and the American people lost.

Unlike Donald Trump who has made it clear he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation as his own policies drive up costs, I will always keep fighting to ensure the middle class isn’t left behind and pushing for that more perfect…

Too many cannot afford the basics like gas, groceries and diapers for their babies while billionaires are being handed another tax break.

This year especially, economic freedom is out of reach for too many Americans.

Juneteenth is about recognizing our nation’s full history and reflecting on what liberation means for Black Americans today.

As you know, rising jet fuel prices are dramatically increasing travel costs for American consumers and input costs for your member airlines.

Raising the retirement age – or otherwise cutting benefits – only worsens the looming retirement income crisis, and, as we outlined in our initial letter to you, doing so hurts older Americans, cutting monthly benefits and forcing millions…

These comments cast fresh doubt on your ‘sacred pledge’ to ‘always protect Social Security’ – and your failure to respond to our previous requests for assurances – we urge you to clarify the administration’s stance on raising the…

No traveler should face barriers while traveling because of their disability,” said Senator Duckworth. “I hear so many frustrating stories from those who have experienced their wheelchair getting damaged, assistance being delayed and their…

Republicans showed their true priorities. It’s Donald Trump first, America last—every damn time.

In Republicans’ extreme reconciliation bill, the American people would get nothing while ICE and Border Patrol get another $70 billion blank check—on top of the $100 billion included in Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill—without any reforms…

Americans are getting pummeled by sky-high costs thanks to Donald Trump—and Republicans couldn’t care less. Instead of fighting to lower energy and grocery bills for their constituents, Senate Republicans spent all day and night fighting…

At a time when government services are increasingly delivered online, weakening this rule would risk excluding millions of Americans with disabilities from full participation in civic life.

Your mission is to provide the safest, most efficient aerospace system in the world. Accordingly, the FAA must commit to upholding the highest safety standards and be firm in rejecting any improper or irresponsible pressure from President…

President Trump choosing to force the FAA to invest limited staff and resources into a distracting review of his gaudy and disgraceful arch is merely the latest example of Trump putting his pet projects first, while neglecting America’s…
