Fed Gov fiscal insanity continues. Per 2026 CBO estimates 2056 Fed Gov DEBT (Held by public) = $167.5 TRILLION which equates to $460,000+ per citizen or $1,173,000+ per household. 2056 Fed Gov Interest on DEBT = 36.9% of Total Revenues 2056 Fed Gov Spending= 27.9% of GDP

Senator Andy Kim@SenatorAndyKim·
It’s been almost a month since Trump started this war. Gas prices are up. American service members have died. There’s no end in sight.

It’s why I voted for @ChrisMurphyCT’s effort. We need to lower costs and save lives. Now.
Chris Murphy 🟧@ChrisMurphyCT

In a few minutes I’m heading to the Senate floor to force a vote - tonight - to end the war in Iran. If Republicans won’t hold a debate and vote on this illegal, incompletely run war, then Democrats will. I will be joined on the floor by my Senate allies in this fight.

@PattyMurray Anybody else getting whiffs of ignorant anti American scent from this Senator? The most patriotic thing you can do for our children is actually taking meaningful actions to prevent Iran from having long range intercontinental ballistic nuclear missiles in the future. PERIOD!

I just voted to STOP Trump's war of choice with Iran.   We're 25 days in, and this war has cost us American lives, billions in taxpayer dollars, and is threatening a global recession.   For what? NO war with Iran.

@SenCortezMasto Voting in person with a valid photo ID is by far the most secure way to have an accurate, fraud free election. Don’t take it from me. Take it from any competent person who is not afflicted by TDS. Exceptions for reasonable reasons. If you shop at a store, VOTE IN PERSON.

Donald Trump doesn't even believe his own lies about mail-in voting. But that isn't stopping him from pushing legislation like the "SAVE America Act" to make it harder for you to vote and hold him accountable.

@SenatorSlotkin Asinine hyperbole: If someone shops for food at the store, they can vote in person. Birth certificate request took about 20 minutes online & under $20. Received it in less than a week without expediting. Don’t have a valid ID? Get one. You have about 7 months before November

Would the SAVE Act require a passport to vote? 60 percent of Michiganders have no passport.

We are spending more than a million dollars EVERY MINUTE on Trump’s illegal war with Iran. This while health care and nutrition assistance have been decimated for millions of Americans. This isn’t America First—it’s families last. nytimes.com/2026/03/21/opi…

These guys are delusional. Spending $1 BILLION in taxpayer dollars to STOP clean energy production that lowers Americans' energy bills isn't SAVING anyone money. Instead, it's costing Americans now and in the long-run. What a waste. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

The SAVE America Act forces states to submit their voter rolls to a DHS program that has a history of flagging eligible U.S. citizens for removal with little to no explanation. You may not realize your state removed you until election day. And to reregister, you'll need documents you may not have.

Last week, I inspected the ICE detention center in Plymouth. I saw scores of detained individuals whose only offense was being undocumented. I will continue to stand with our immigrant neighbors, demand change, and shine a light on Trump’s brutal agenda.

Let's be clear: the SAVE America Act is a massive voter suppression bill. Full stop. This bill doesn't protect elections. It rigs them. By making it harder for millions of Americans to vote, the SAVE America Act is one of the most dangerous attacks on democracy I've seen in my lifetime.
