Last night, my Republican colleagues decided—despite the overwhelming evidence that the war against Iran is a terrible idea that’s hurting Americans—to once again bow down to the will of Trump. I’m not letting this go.
It’s National Medal of Honor Day, when we recognize the over 3,500 servicemembers who have received the highest military award for valor. I’m glad my bipartisan bill to build a monument in commemoration of their service was signed into law.
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. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
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.
Three weeks into the U.S.-Iran war, the initial economic impact of the conflict is visible in America every few miles on the highway: soaring gas prices.
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.
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.
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. www.reuters.com/world/middle...
