Donald Trump's economy is a complete and total failure. It's been nearly two years, and his administration is still blaming Joe Biden!

The cost of gas, groceries, and health care are soaring under this administration. The last thing Americans need is a price hike on their prescription medication.

We have communicated to women that pain is normal and that it hurts to be a woman. That's wrong. I'm proud to work with Lupita Nyong'o to fight for federal research funding for uterine fibroids and to pass my bipartisan U-FIGHT Act.

As Trump’s illegal war with Iran enters its sixth month, millions of Americans are still paying the price, and our servicemembers’ lives remain at risk. Although support for the resolution was bipartisan, more Republicans must join the demand for an end to the war.

Medicare and Medicaid were signed into law on this day 61 years ago. Today, nearly 2 in 5 Americans & more than 3 million Washingtonians – including hundreds of thousands of children – rely on these programs for affordable healthcare. We must protect these life-saving programs.

Worker productivity is up 92% while hourly pay is up just 34%. And Fox News thinks young people can’t afford things because they’re lazy? I don't think so. It's time to unrig our broken economy.

I try to meet with every cabinet-level nominee as a courtesy, including Acting AG Todd Blanche. He still can’t explain his mishandling of the Epstein files or his refusal to fully shut down President Trump’s billion-dollar weaponization slush fund, and I’m still a no on his confirmation.

I just voted AGAIN to try and end Trump’s war in Iran. Once again, Republicans blocked it. When will they wake up and realize this war is spiking costs, accomplishing little, and endangering American servicemembers?

If Trump did NOTHING, very low-income families would have had their child care costs capped at 7%. But he scrapped that policy and Republicans voted to increase the cost of child care. Money for war, but nothing for child care.

I'm leading my colleagues in demanding the Trump Administration crack down on a Russian state-backed crypto network that Putin uses to evade U.S. sanctions and fund his unprovoked war against Ukraine. Read more here: www.bennet.senate.gov/2026/07/30/b...

The Port Shuaiba attack exposed Trump's failure to protect and care for troops who are injured. Trump and Hegseth must stop putting servicemembers in harm’s way, failing them when they’re wounded and then covering it up. I’m demanding answers.

Translation: Donald Trump doesn't want to permanently end his corrupt slush fund of YOUR tax dollars to pay January 6 insurrectionists.

Trump would rather keep this key position vacant than allow the DOJ to confirm in writing what the American people overwhelmingly believe: the President shouldn’t be above the law, and we shouldn’t have a $1.8 billion slush fund for those who attacked police officers on Jan. 6.

Today, Senate Democrats forced our 13TH vote on ending Donald Trump’s illegal Iran war. Senate Republicans, as afraid of Trump as ever, were nowhere to be found. Our troops are in danger, our costs are through the roof, and Donald Trump and Republicans simply do not care.

Over and over, Congress has forced votes to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Americans DO NOT WANT this deadly conflict. It’s simple: to lower costs and protect lives, this war needs to end. NOW.

This confirms how committed Corrupt Trump and Weasel Blanche are to defending their cop-beaters’ slush fund and Trump tax fraud amnesty. Should be easy to reassure those two senators, if Blanche were sincere about what’s dead.

For the 13th time, I voted to end this war in Iran. It's unacceptable that the Trump Administration continues to mislead Congress and the American people about why we are in this war, and how we are going to get out of it.

Today Medicare and Medicaid turn 61. While the Trump administration does everything in its power to destroy these vital programs, I will never stop fighting to protect and strengthen them.

Remember all the times that Trump said the war was over? Six months in, he's still choosing bombs over diplomacy. Not giving a damn about the targets he puts on our troops' backs.

ICE doesn't move detainees across the country by accident—it's a strategy. That's what they did to Eduardo, who's married to a citizen. Detained on the job, he was shipped off to Texas at 2AM, away from his wife & attorney. I'm demanding he be brought home and get due process.

China is supporting Iran and supporting Russia in their war against Ukraine. China is the biggest user of Russian oil and natural gas. If we sanction them, it has a real impact both on their economy and what is happening in the Middle East.

Republicans just blocked our effort to ensure President Trump pays his fair share in taxes. When he skips out, all the rest of us end up paying more.

The Attorney General’s role is to protect and serve the American people. Todd Blanche thinks it’s to protect and serve President Trump — It’s clear he’s unfit for the role.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans BLOCKED affordable child care. Trump wants to get rid of a 7% cap on child care costs for very low-income families, my resolution would have stopped him. Once again, the GOP endorses higher costs for families to satisfy Trump. This isn't the end.

Trump's war with Iran has been one of the greatest foreign policy dumpster fires in American history, and it seems to be expanding with new attacks now targeting Egypt.

We’ve known it all along: the Trump administration canceled energy project grants in states where Donald Trump lost in 2024. Americans deserve a government that works for them, not one that plays politics with their lives and jobs.

There are three big problems for Blanche with crooked Trump deal he incubated: (1) the slush fund for cop-beaters and MAGA-loons, (2) the Trump family tax fraud amnesty scam, and (3) they pulled it off through collusion and possible “fraud on the court.”

Pete Hegseth has a problem with women. Particularly women in combat roles. From blocking promotions of qualified servicewomen to launching a bogus study on the “effectiveness” of women in combat, he's shown more interest in attacking women than protecting our national security.

President Trump is playing politics with disaster relief. Rhode Island is not seeking special treatment, just simple fairness. Congress should act in the taxpayer’s interest and help states who’ve been hit by a major, record-breaking disaster.

18 troops have died in the Trump-Vance Administration’s unnecessary, illegal war with Iran. Families have met flag-draped caskets at Dover, only to learn the Administration wants to reclassify those combat deaths to hide the true cost of war. Shameful.

GDP data released this morning revealed, again, that the economy is not growing at a pace we need to have any confidence for the future. A 1.5% rate of growth in the second quarter of 2026 is another warning sign that the economic policies of this Admin are wrong-headed & need to be changed.

If we can shut down the funding that Russia is getting, then we can put pressure on Vladimir Putin to come to the table. As President Zelenskyy said in Washington: "Ukraine needs this bill."

Trump telling Zelenskyy to “end the war” is like telling the homeowner to “end the burglary.” Maybe it’s on the burglar?

Last year, Donald Trump and Republicans expanded a tax break that allows the ultra-wealthy to write off as much as 100% of their profit on stock holdings. That one move will cost taxpayers over $17 BILLION. Americans deserve better. I'm pressing for answers.

61 years ago, Medicaid and Medicare were created. Now, these programs help 130 million Americans receive the lifesaving health care they need. Senate Democrats are committed to reversing Republicans’ $1 trillion health care cuts to ensure every American has access to affordable health care.

Whether it’s on land, in the water, or in the sky — new technology should be built by Michiganders, many of whom were in the room with me in Traverse City last week. Companies like Sharrow Marine, whose propeller technology is groundbreaking (and it’s made right here in Michigan!)

Today marks the 61st anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, landmark programs that expanded health care access to millions. Unfortunately, Republicans are intent on reversing this progress—slashing health care funding to ensure less, not more, can access the care they need.

This week, the Senate showed enormous bipartisan support for the Ukrainian people in their fight against Russian aggression. As we heard from President Zelenskyy, strong U.S. sanctions on Russia will send a clear message to Putin that we demand lasting peace for Ukraine and the entire region.
