Back to school shopping? Here’s what Trump’s tariffs are going to cost you: 39% more on shoes, 37% more on clothes, and 18.7% on computers.

Not exactly the ‘lower costs’ he promised.

If Trump wants to fire someone for the terrible job numbers, maybe he should start in the Oval Office.

A generation growing up without shows like Nature and NOVA. Trump is trying to dumb down our nation and the only real beneficiaries are our foreign adversaries.

“The story is just too simple: Democrats passed a law to encourage clean energy called the Inflation Reduction Act. Republicans repealed it. Energy prices inflated.”

The electricity affordability crisis is coming, and Republicans are the ones who are fast-tracking it.

An incredibly bad jobs report in which most of the jobs added in July were in health care–an industry soon to be decimated by Trump’s Big, Ugly Bill. But don’t worry, he's putting in a $200M ballroom at the White House.

On World Ranger Day, I want to say a special “thank you” to those park service rangers who are no longer wearing the uniform as a result of the Trump Administration’s decision to push out a quarter of the NPS workforce. I appreciate everything you have done in service to our parks and communities.

Tonight, I voted YES on two bills to block offensive weapons transfers to Israel.

One blocks bombs and guidance kits used to level homes and hospitals in Gaza. The other stops assault rifles from getting in the hands of extremist forces enabling settler violence in the West Bank.

60 years ago, Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law.

We should be working to strengthen these programs at every turn.

Instead, Donald Trump and Republicans take every opportunity to weaken or destroy them.

Tariffs are driving up the price of beef, lumber, and coffee, BUT the real reason Trump likes them is that they are the perfect vehicle for corruption.

Another canceled clean energy project thanks to the uncertainty created by the Trump administration. It won’t be the last.

Trump is killing jobs and raising prices.

University of New Mexico shooting: Suspect in custody after shooting on campus leaves 14-year-old boy dead | CNN An 18-year-old suspect is in custody after an early Friday morning shooting at University of New Mexico student housing left a 14-year-old boy dead and injured another person during orientation week, ...

My thoughts are with the family of the 14 year old lost and the 19 year old injured in Friday’s shooting.

Let’s be clear: If you hurt our community, you will be found and you will be held accountable.

Buying your first home is more than owning property. It’s a source of pride. Unfortunately, it's out of reach for too many. My First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit Act would change that, and give every working family equal opportunity to the American dream of owning a home.

Today I offered an amendment to require Interior and the Forest Service to hire and maintain a workable minimum number of full-time employees to actually be able to manage wildfire preparedness, suppression, and other mission critical support. Republicans rejected it.

Thinking about building a new house in the next few years? You can tack on $14,000 to the price tag thanks to Trump’s tariffs on Canadian lumber and steel.

So much for lowering costs on Day 1.

The approval of the Major Disaster Declaration for Lincoln County will unlock funding needed to respond to the horrific devastation in Ruidoso. We'll continue to push for the State's requests for other counties so all impacted New Mexicans are provided with the support necessary.

The Grain Belt Express Transmission Line would increase grid reliability and reduce electricity prices for American families. It’s EXACTLY the kind of project experts say we need to meet increasing demand.

Hawley, Trump, and Chris Wright just killed it, with zero justification.

Dreamers are Americans in every way except on paper. They just want to be productive members of our communities.

My Protect DREAMer Confidentiality Act would protect their DACA application information and provide them with a sense of security on their path to citizenship.

Republicans’ budget = higher health insurance costs.

When Republicans voted to end middle-class advanced premium tax credits in their budget bill, they sent health care costs soaring.

Call your reps now before Nov 1 to demand they extend the health premium tax credits.

Republicans’ Big, Beautiful Betrayal will blow a $3.4 trillion hole in our deficit, raise energy costs, and kick 10 million people off their health insurance. Why?

All for billionaire tax cuts.

BREAKING: My HALT Fentanyl Act is now law.

It permanently classifies all fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs — giving law enforcement more tools to save lives and get this deadly drug off our streets. This is huge.
