Real people have paid the price of this war.
We’ve already lost 13 Americans killed in action, with many more seriously wounded.
Civilians have been killed throughout the Middle East, including the U.S. missile strike that killed more than 150 schoolchildren.

Beyond despicable. Donald Trump is now “a little bored” with his "little excursion" in Iran, as if war is nothing more than passing amusement to him.
War is not a game. It's not a spectacle. It's not something you pick up and drop when it stops entertaining you.

I joined @newdems.bsky.social to host a discussion with small businesses owners, who shared how badly they've been hurt by Trump's tariffs.
Tariffs continue to drive up costs, and those who joined us shed light on the real challenges Americans are facing.
Unlike big corporations, most small businesses can’t bribe the president with gold bars, ornate plaques, or massive donations, and can’t afford to hire MAGA lobbyists.
While big companies get exemptions, small businesses are left to absorb the full impact of Trump’s tariffs.
This can have adverse real-world impacts when models are used for health-related AI inferences, loan granting, federal grant approval, housing approval, or law enforcement.
Our bill would fix that by establishing transparency requirements for how models are built, trained, and deployed.
AI foundation models are often described as a ‘black box’ because they fail to give consumers the tools to understand why a model gives a particular response, despite the possibility of inaccurate, imprecise, or biased responses due to limitations/biases in the model’s training or training data.
NEW: I've introduced the bipartisan AI Foundation Model Transparency Act with Rep. Mike Lawler and @sarajacobs.house.gov.
Farmers are struggling with fertilizer costs that could drive up grocery prices, USPS is considering surcharges on package deliveries, and airlines are preparing to increase fares.
But Trump thinks none of this is that bad. He’s either wildly out of touch or just lying.

Today is Equal Pay Day.
As costs skyrocket, women are still underpaid — taking home just 81 cents for every dollar men make.
Equal work demands equal pay, and Democrats will keep fighting for an economy and country worthy of our daughters.

The Department of Justice’s reported decision to pay out more than a million of the taxpayer’s dollars to Michael Flynn is as outrageous as it is indefensible.
Americans are already struggling with risings costs, and are now paying even more as a result of the fallout from Trump's illegal, poorly planned war. Trump should end this war and instead start addressing the affordability crisis he created.
The American people are struggling with higher costs, fewer jobs, and complete economic chaos.
Trump’s “Golden Age” is just an affordability crisis he keeps making worse.
This is deeply abhorrent, and raises questions about the intelligence used to justify the Administration's boat strikes in the Caribbean.
Many of us have warned it is likely innocent people are being killed based on dubious evidence. Those concerns now appear to be justified.
We're paying to shut down renewable energy projects when Trump's war on Iran is showing us how costly it is to be totally reliant on fossil fuels.
We should be diversifying our energy to increase energy security and affordability, not paying companies to walk away from them.

This is Trump’s economy designed by billionaires, for billionaires:
The rich are getting richer while workers and families struggle to pay for groceries and gas.
This is a huge win for clean energy in the Commonwealth of Virginia! A diverse energy grid helps protects us from oil and gas volatility, and new generation can help bring down energy costs down for families and businesses across the Commonwealth.

The nonsensical removal of the 15th Street bike lanes has been delayed, but is still a threat. I’ll keep fighting to protect this vital DC-area transit corridor.

Just like to note that on National Agriculture Day, steel and aluminum tariffs are harming farmers by raising costs (in addition to rising fertilizer prices from tariffs AND the current war).
