I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Only someone who avoided the draft would want to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

Hey, Mike. As someone whose wife barely survived an assassination attempt, let me tell you: Your joke isn't funny and you have an entire state to apologize to.

I don’t want to see more Americans lose their lives in this war.

Kristi Noem is gone. Good, but it’s the bare minimum. Two American citizens killed by federal agents in Minneapolis. Court orders violated. FEMA gutted. Firing her doesn’t fix all of that, but it’s a start.

I just voted yes on the war powers resolution to rein in this President. Trump promised no new wars in the Middle East, and now we're in one with no plan and no end in sight.

Flipping this seat won’t be easy, but James Talarico showed he knows how to inspire Texans with his vision for a better future. I'm ready to do my part to get him across the finish line this November, and I hope you'll join me. Control of the Senate may depend on it.

I’m live with VoteVets to discuss the war in Iran, how Trump is attacking vets’ rights, and why the midterm elections are our chance to hold this Administration accountable. Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/ByGtcfh...

The American people deserve an explanation before Trump sends their sons and daughters to fight overseas. Instead, we’ve gotten changing stories from a President who doesn’t even seem focused on the war he just started.

This is exactly why I fought to pass the CHIPS and Science Act — to bring the future of American manufacturing to Arizona. It's bringing good-paying jobs, fueling our economy, and making sure Arizona leads the world in innovation.

Trump and Republicans keep getting asked what’s next in Iran. Their answers are “hopefully” this or “we hope” that.  Hope is not a strategy, and a plan built on hope alone is how we end up in decades-long wars that cost thousands of American lives.

Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.

People who’ve never served are often the quickest to start dropping bombs without a plan for what’s next. The American people have seen this play out before and they’re tired of it. Trump is sending our servicemembers into harm’s way without a clear explanation or an end goal.
