I’m devastated and heartbroken for the families in Erie who lost loved ones last night, including two young children. Eight lives are gone because of gun violence. We cannot allow families everywhere to keep suffering tragedies like this. Leaders at every level have the responsibility to act, NOW.

What an honor it was to sit down with my friend @joyannreid.bsky.social and talk about what it means to be a survivor and how @giffords.org is working to build a future free from gun violence. There is nothing we can’t do with purpose, resilience, and courage.

In 2022 I had to borrow a skateboard for the Navajo Nation parade. This time I built my own at a skate shop in Tempe. The hard part is they just had to close their storefront because of tariffs. Small businesses like this shouldn't be paying the price for bad ideas in Washington.

What happened to Trump saying he was going to defeat communism? What a bunch of fucking traitors, siding with Russia. We're literally funding against our own interests in Ukraine now. This administration has no goals or principles beyond making money and being racist a fuck while doing it.

#Trump is selling out to #Russia instead of making an example of them by imposing sanctions; even after getting other countries to impose sanctions. So that makes us accomplices in the war against #Ukraine. All so he thinks he will look better for the midterms. Tell him HELL NO and #VoteBlue

Workers and middle-class families built this country. That's why in the Senate I'm fighting for tax cuts for families, paid for by making millionaires pay their fair share. It's about time hard working people stopped getting left behind.

Trump thinks he can bribe the American people, but voters have been burned by his failed promises too many times. They're tired of his corruption and the Republicans in Congress who refuse to stop him. It's time to send them all packing this November.

We’re more than 7 months into Trump’s war with Iran with no clear end in sight. Servicemembers have been injured and killed, while this war drives up costs at home. Americans deserve to know why we’re still fighting and what the plan is to end it.

Gas and diesel prices are up because Trump started a war and didn't care about what it would cost us at home. @chrispappasnh.bsky.social and I are pushing to suspend the federal gas and diesel taxes to give families a break. Americans shouldn't have to pay for Trump’s mistakes.

The state’s ultrawealthy, including Larry Page and Peter Thiel, have similarly donated to efforts opposing the wealth tax.
