Congress needs to act NOW to rein in Trump’s warmongering.
I fully support @kaine.senate.gov's war powers resolution.

I don’t accept Rubio’s excuses for a moment.
Is Trump seriously so weak that he’s letting Netanyahu drag the U.S. into a war?
No war with Iran.
Trump claims he’s the President of peace. He’s anything but.
He is a warmonger, starting wars and putting the lives of our servicemembers on the line.
The power to declare war belongs to Congress — not the President. These strikes on Iran are unconstitutional and risk dragging us into another endless war. Congress must vote on the War Powers Resolution immediately. No war with Iran.
Trump is hell-bent on seizing control of our elections. HELL NO. Every patriot needs to work together to defend our democracy and our fundamental freedom to vote.

Decisions about war and peace shouldn’t be left to one person.
Congress holds the power to authorize military force. We need to use every lever we have to prevent Trump’s warmongering.
HELL NO. @lujan.senate.gov’s and my Epstein Files Transparency Act—which Trump himself signed into law—required ALL the Epstein Files to be released.
Release them, DOJ. NOW.
Trump will NEVER put you and your family ahead of his billionaire buddies.
I’m fighting for a vision where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share!
We have the bipartisan momentum we need to crack down on the billionaire corporations gobbling up homes and sending housing costs sky high.
Houses in our communities should be homes for families, not a profit center for Wall Street.
Let’s get it done!
When billionaire corporations buy up the housing in our neighborhoods, it’s nearly impossible for families to have a real chance at finding a safe, affordable home in their community.
We need to use every tool in the toolbox to solve this!

@merkley.senate.gov is calling for CBO to probe the cost of Trump’s violent escalation of federal immigration enforcement.
Last year, Republicans approved a dramatic increase in DHS funding, yet there is no comprehensive accounting of how these funds are being spent.
The cost of groceries is up.
The cost of health care is up.
The cost of housing is up.
That’s Trumpflation at work.
Democrats are fighting for government by and for the PEOPLE, not government by and for the POWERFUL.
The state of working families under Trump: millions of Americans without health care or nutrition assistance. Programs families count on gutted.
And for what?
To fund tax breaks for billionaires.

Pre-Trump, the economy was averaging 328,000 new jobs EVERY MONTH. But last year, the U.S. only added 181,000 jobs TOTAL.
Trump isn’t lowering costs OR growing the job market.
In the last year, Trump has made America sicker and poorer. His “Big, Beautiful Bill” was a Big, Ugly BETRAYAL of working families.
We need to reject his families lose, billionaires win mentality and build a vision where families thrive and billionaires pay their fair share.
The People’s State of the Union is LIVE! Tune in to counter Trump’s lies and hear about how we move forward together. youtube.com/live/kJeliH7...

Trump has made the State of our Union weaker.
He owes the American people an apology for this families lose, billionaires win agenda.
