Senate Republicans don't care about affordability.

The New York Times: Senate Adopts G.O.P. Budget, Defeating Democrats' Affordability Proposals

"Also defeated by the G.O.P.: a proposal by Senator John Hickenlooper, Democrat of Colorado, to address rising consumer prices brought on by Mr. Trump’s tariffs and the war in Iran; one by Senator Edward J. Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts, to require the budget measure to address rising electricity prices, and another by Mr. Markey to create a fund to bring down housing costs."

Chris Wright said gas prices won't drop below $3 until 2027. We can't reward Big Oil CEOs who pollute our planet with power to make key energy decisions. We need to pass my Ban BIG OIL from the Cabinet Act now to prohibit fossil fuel executives from cabinet positions.

Trump has gone scorched earth. He's killing our livelihoods. He's killing our democracy. And he's killing our planet. There's a long fight ahead of us. And in order to build the future we need, we must remove Trump from office.

Seniors on fixed incomes can't absorb rising costs the way others can. In Arizona, 1 in 5 residents is over 65. Washington doesn't talk about that enough. My Cost of Living Emergency Act is designed to protect them and the retirement they earned.

Donald Trump dodged the draft to fight in Vietnam but he's sure he would've done a better job. This kind of arrogance is exactly how America keeps getting stuck in long, bloody wars. We need real leadership and a plan and a goal to end this war in Iran, and he has none of it.

Trump gutting the U.S. Forest Service puts communities in Arizona and across the country at risk — the Forest Service plays an essential role in preventing wildfires. I supported legislation last year to restore staffing so our forests stay accessible, safe, and maintained.

I introduced a bill to repeal the federal school voucher program. America's public schools helped build the middle class, but universal school vouchers drain school funding and hurt students. Arizona is living it right now. Our kids and our country deserve better.

Every tax dollar a billionaire writes off on their yacht is a tax dollar that has to come from you. It doesn't have to be this way. We can limit the influence of billionaires in our politics and make them pay their fair share so we can start cutting OUR taxes.

One big difference between the US and Europe is that Americans have always had a near-religious deference to the office of President whereas across the Atlantic the moment a politician is elected they’re hunted in the streets with dogs. Trump has destroyed that illusion.
