Trump has turned the presidency into the most profitable scheme of his life. That’s why I’m exposing the corruption, showing Americans what it’s costing them, and building reforms needed to stop any president from using public office for personal profit. www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Trump Steaks Trump University Trump Airlines Trump Coin The Trump Presidency—all cons. The product changes. The con stays the same. You pay, Trump profits.

Trump’s $400 million luxury jet turned Air Force One is the largest foreign bribe to an American president in history. It’s also a massive national security threat, as we’ve warned for months.

Good. This merger should never have been allowed to proceed in the first place. It is the pathway towards destroying freedom of the press and democracy.

I applaud local and federal law enforcement and the FDNY for their quick actions in response to the disturbing, violent attack at 26 Federal Plaza this morning. Their prompt actions kept people safe and helped apprehend the suspect.

Republicans refused even the most basic guardrails on ICE. Now the consequences are being measured in lives. The Trump admin rushed 12,000 agents onto our streets without ensuring they were fit to carry a badge and a gun—and Republicans gave this rogue agency vast power and no accountability.

They are losing, and they know it. Election officials will not be intimidated. Senate Democrats will make sure resources are in place to fight back against any illegal activity by the Trump administration.

This President sadly wallows in grievance, vengeance, and conspiracy while Americans want their leaders to boldly tackle persistent inflation, expensive groceries, rising gas prices, and terrible cuts to affordable healthcare.

The Senate acted decisively to ban our members and staff from insider trading on prediction markets. This report is emblematic of the rampant corruption within the Trump administration and exactly why they must follow suit and ban prediction market trading for administration officials and staffers.

We’ve been here before. Senate Democrats will lead a whole-of-government effort to ensure free, fair, and secure elections that are not contingent on Donald Trump’s temper tantrums.

The American people are fed up with the chaos in their streets, the corruption in their government, and the sky-high costs in every part of their lives because of this administration’s policies.

Trump’s election speech tonight is not about the 2020 election—it is a threat against the election he's afraid to lose in November. Trump knows he can’t defend Republicans' disastrous record, so he’s trying to discredit voters who will judge it in November.
- CS
Donald Trump has given up on winning over hearts and minds. Now he’s focused on undermining the upcoming midterm election. That’s what his speech tonight will be about. But in America, voters choose our leaders – not the other way around. And we will fight like hell to preserve that principle.

Todd Blanche doesn’t get to talk about transparency while he’s still withholding 3 million pages of the Epstein files. Where are the files, Mr. Blanche? All of America is waiting.

When you are the personal lawyer for a known pathological liar like Trump, you should NEVER be Attorney General. The crucial question is: are Republicans still going to go to the mat for Blanche after he aided Trump through his corruption?

Trump’s chaos is costing human lives. His reckless ICE operations have led to two recent deaths in Maine and Texas. Republicans refused to support our commonsense ICE reforms designed to prevent tragedies like these. We can't keep waiting for the next tragedy.

Trump says he's going to shut down the government unless Republicans pass the SAVE Act to disenfranchise millions of American citizens. Democrats are not going to let that happen. If the government shuts down in November, only one man is to blame: Donald Trump. And he said so himself.

Todd Blanche: ❌ Masterminded Trump's MAGA slush fund ❌ Arranged Trump's sweetheart deal from the IRS ❌ Refused to release three million pages of the Epstein files This is who Senate Republicans want to lead DOJ—a new low.
- CS
As Todd Blanche makes a fool of himself in front of the Judiciary Committee, Jay Clayton is somehow doing equally as badly in front of the Intelligence Committee. If you can’t admit Joe Biden won the 2020 election, how can you possibly lead our country’s intelligence agencies?

No kid should go to bed hungry, but because of Trump and Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill, 1.5 MILLION kids have lost access to SNAP in just the past year. Every Democrat voted AGAINST this, but now 1.5 million kids are hungrier thanks to Trump and Republicans. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

Two people have been tragically killed in the last week. A pause on vehicle stops is nowhere near enough. We need laws that prevent these tragedies and hold ICE agents accountable with real consequences.

If there's a shutdown, it's on Donald Trump. He said so himself. Unless Trump changes his course, realizes the anti-democracy SAVE Act cannot pass, and starts working on more productive things, we could be headed for another Trump Shutdown.

Trump has no clue what he’s doing in Iran, and it’s a recipe for utter disaster. He had no plan and no exit strategy on day 1 of this reckless war. We’re on day 136, and nothing has changed.

To say that Senators Ossoff and Warnock are "illegitimate" because of election fraud is lunacy and reeks of desperation. And it is so obviously part of Trump’s corrupt effort to subvert the 2026 midterm elections.

Allowing poorly trained agents to roam our streets, kick down doors without warrants, and shoot people dead in the street is state-sanctioned violence—not immigration policy.

For Trump, everything is for sale. America’s natural beauty and public lands mean nothing to him as long as his donors can profit from them.

Donald Trump's so-called “understanding” with Iran fell apart faster than the ink could dry. The House and Senate both voted to remove our forces from harm’s way and end this war now. Trump must comply. Enough is enough. End the war.

Trump wants to shut down the government in September to force Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act, rig the midterm elections, and disenfranchise millions of American citizens. If the government shuts down in September, remember one man was cheerleading for that outcome all along: Donald Trump.

Millions of Americans are being crushed by housing costs. Donald Trump called their crisis “a big yawn”—then refused to sign the most significant bipartisan housing bill in decades. His priorities couldn’t be clearer: higher costs for families and more power for himself.

Donald Trump said Republicans should “take over the voting.” Today, he took another step toward doing exactly that. Firing every remaining member of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission months before the midterms is a brazen attempt to seize control of our elections before a vote is cast.

Donald Trump’s rambling, unhinged, confused performance this morning was an embarrassment. Serving as Putin's mouthpiece, undermining our allies, and cheerleading for war — that's Trump’s vision for our country. In November, Americans will have a chance to take us down a different path.

Donald Trump’s presidency is defined by destruction, chaos, illegal wars, and rising costs. He never had a serious plan for stopping his war. Senate Democrats remain united in our efforts to end this illegal war immediately and permanently.

Trump DOJ’s campaign to subvert the election took another hit today, this time by a Trump-appointed judge. He found that the Trump DOJ’s staggeringly broad subpoena would “chill participation in future elections.”

The founding fathers called America God’s noble experiment. I believe in all three words to this day: we are one nation under God, we have clung to noble ideas for longer than any other nation, and we are an experiment always changing, trying to make ourselves better.

I’m disturbed to learn that there was yet another potential act of violence in a house of worship—at the Muslim Center in Queens. I’m relieved he was subdued by a congregant before any harm occurred. Islamophobia is unacceptable, and we must continue to reject hatred and bigotry in every form.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is one year old. So is the health care crisis it created. 5 million people lost coverage. More than 1,000 hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes face cuts or closure. Over 20 million families face skyrocketing premiums.

New York counties are scrambling for funding to keep SNAP alive after the Big Ugly Bill made the largest program cuts in history. Now, the GOP is pushing a Farm Bill that doesn’t even mention SNAP. I will not support a Farm Bill that abandons hungry families. It's a nonstarter.
