Trump signed the Big Beautiful Bill one year ago, bragging about tax cuts. Instead, it sent health care costs soaring for millions, kicked 800,000 kids off SNAP, and shuttered health care clinics across the country. A huge win for billionaires. A massive loss for working families.

We just got even more evidence that American families are struggling under Trump’s economy. Fewer jobs, less wage growth, and people giving up on the job hunt altogether. And Trump couldn’t care less.

$2.2 BILLION for the Trump family. Higher costs for the American people.

One year after the GOP passed the One Big UGLY Bill, the results are in: • 800,000 kids lost SNAP benefits. • 5M lost health coverage. • 1,000+ hospitals, clinics, nursing homes face cuts or closure. • Health care premiums doubled for millions. That's what they're celebrating.

Despite Trump’s best efforts to bully them, the Supreme Court just reaffirmed that if you are born in America, you belong in America.

Trump on lowering housing prices: “I don’t want to. It’s a yawn.” In fact, he won’t sign our bipartisan bill to finally bring relief to the housing market until he gets his SAVE Act to rig the midterms and kick millions of American citizens off the voter rolls. America First!

This morning, I stood with leaders of our great Haitian community to demand one thing: EXTEND TPS for our Haitian friends and neighbors. This administration chooses to villainize the Haitian people to pull attention away from their catastrophic failures. We can’t let them get away with it.

The Supreme Court just upheld this bedrock American principle: if you cast your ballot on time, your vote will count. Participation in democracy should never be limited – not by your race, where you live, or how you vote.

It was an honor to march in the NYC Pride Parade! I was the first Senator to march in this parade, and it’s amazing to see the progress we’ve made on LGBTQ+ equality since then. With the Trump admin in the White House, we must protect that progress from those who wish to take us back in time.

Wonder why Trump bailed on signing our housing affordability bill into law this week? Well, this and because he wants to kick millions of American citizens off the voter rolls to rig the November election for himself.

Donald Trump will try everything to rig the election in November for the GOP. Senate Democrats are prepared to stop him at every turn: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/u...

Today’s decision is a very significant victory for free and fair elections and a defeat for Donald Trump’s vile efforts to make it harder for people to vote. Once again, the courts have reaffirmed that Trump’s efforts to subvert the election are patently unconstitutional.

In a cruel and inhumane decision, the Supreme Court just turned its back on more than 300,000 Haitians and thousands of Syrians who have worked and raised families here because they faced violence and instability back home.

This is why full access to health care matters. Listen to the Co-Director of the Texas-based Maternal Health Equity Collective, Nakeenya Wilson tell her story and illustrate why it’s so important that we do everything we can to protect reproductive rights:

You can sum up both the Dobbs decision and the entire far-right philosophy the same way: Less freedom in your life, and more government interference in your personal decisions. That’s the MAGA way.

Today marks a grim four years since the devastating Dobbs ruling Women have faced chaos, uncertainty, and fear when it comes to their reproductive freedom and health care for four long years We must restore the right to abortion, and I won't stop fighting until we do

In Trump’s post-Roe America: —20+ states have total or near-total abortion bans —Women have to travel hundreds of miles to get care they need —Patients & doctors punished like criminals for lifesaving treatment Republicans can’t hide from the pain they've inflicted on women
- CS
FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY: With their dreadful Dobbs decision, six far-right Justices broke nearly 50 years of precedent to rip away the right to choose from millions of women. It will go down as one of the most damaging, deeply out-of-touch Supreme Court decisions in our history.

Ever since the awful Dobbs decision, the GOP has not stopped working to restrict access to abortion care. I'm with @murray.senate.gov hearing from people who've been forced to live with the consequences of this assault on their reproductive freedom, discussing how we're fighting back.

Today, Congress stood up to Donald Trump and voted to end his costly, unnecessary, and devastating war with Iran. Let me be clear: for the first time, this resolution has passed both chambers of Congress and does not require the President’s signature.

Trump and Republicans enacted massive Medicaid cuts and refused to extend ACA premium tax credits. The result? 5 MILLION Americans have lost Medicaid and ACA coverage. Each one a real person forced to choose between health care and paying the bills.

Free and fair elections in America got a big boost in court yesterday. Letting Trump scrape through Americans’ private data to purge them from the voter rolls is ILLEGAL. Democrats will keep blocking Trump's anti-democracy SAVE Act, and we won't let him rig the rules in November.

NEWS: Democrats will force a vote on a House-passed Iran War Powers Resolution to end the war. This will be our TENTH War Powers vote to put Republicans on the record and end this costly war once and for all. We will put Senate Republicans on record again and again.

I OPPOSE the Save Our Bacon Act and any attempt to jam it into the Farm Bill. This bill would gut state food safety and animal welfare laws, wipe out voter-approved protections, and strip states like NY of the right to set basic standards. It is a giveaway to Big Ag and meat monopolies.

Trump is proudly holding American national security hostage by demanding to attach the SAVE Act to FISA. The SAVE Act is the worst anti-voting rights legislation he’s ever dreamed up. And he's threatening our national security just to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

As Trump fixates on his vanity projects, @democrats.senate.gov are advancing our housing bill to address issues Americans actually care about. Our ROAD to Housing bill is a strong start to putting us on the right track to fixing the housing shortage that's driving up costs in our country.

A perfect picture of Trump's presidency: Americans are losing their homes, cutting back at the grocery store, and drowning in bills, while Trump's top priority is cleaning up the Reflecting Pool. America needs a president, not a pool boy.

NEWS: We got a big win in court today for free and fair elections, blocking Trump’s efforts to set up a massive voter purge database. I called this out months ago as one of Trump’s most sinister strategies for subverting our elections. That’s why we have repeatedly blocked the wretched SAVE Act.

Trump is claiming there is no $300 Billion Dollar payment to Iran by the U.S… These are his handwritten initials. He should read his own memo of understanding.

Senate Democrats have been working tirelessly to address the housing affordability crisis in our country. The ROAD to Housing bill is a CRUCIAL first step towards building more housing to lower costs and ensuring Americans don’t have to break the bank to keep a roof over their head.

The U.S. is worse off because of Trump’s incompetence, his ego, and his inability to listen to facts. If Trump wants to send hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran, he’ll need to do with Republican votes. Democrats will not be helping Trump send $300 billion to Iran.

In Iran, the Art of the Deal turned into the art of disaster. The American people are paying the price for Trump’s incompetence: 13 Americans killed, hundreds wounded, higher gas prices, and the cost of everything from groceries to basic necessities are higher than ever.

Trump has now spent $2.6 billion in tax-payer money to kill offshore wind projects. These projects represented thousands of good union jobs, billions in economic development, and millions of homes worth of desperately needed electricity.

Donald Trump attacked child care funding and sent child care costs skyrocketing through the roof. When Democrats retake the majority, we will be ready on day one to take on the child care crisis and advance real solutions that help families access and afford the care they need for their children.

Three days later and there’s still massive confusion about Trump's "understanding" with Iran. This is foreign policy by clown car. Trump must brief Congress, release the official text of the “understanding”, disclose any secret side deals to the public immediately, and end this war now.

Elections in America belong to voters, not Trump. @democrats.senate.gov are using every tool to fight back against Trump & the GOP’s destructive efforts to tamper with our democracy this November. I asked Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes if he'd ever seen anything like this before:

Linda McMahon and Donald Trump continue to undermine our ability to educate our children and to fight against civil rights violations and hate on college campuses. From combatting antisemitism to supporting special education, this administration’s policies have been one failure after another.

Trump's demand to tie the SAVE Act to FISA proves, once again, that he has no problem undermining US national security if he thinks it will help him politically. The SAVE Act is a vicious piece of anti-voting rights legislation. It will not pass. www.axios.com/2026/06/14/t...
