First, it was cyclosporiasis; now it’s Salmonella. One constant? Donald Trump and RFK Jr. defunded many of the FDA’s food safety programs and fired large swaths of food safety inspectors. They are doing everything in their power to Make America Sick Again.

I am praying for those affected by the earthquake in Colombia and for the large Colombian American community in NYC as they ensure the safety of their friends and families. My office will assist in every way that we can and stands ready to help NYers seeking information about their loved ones.

Senate Republicans have handed Trump an excuse on a silver platter to keep up his pervasive, breathtaking corruption. If you want to wipe out corruption, you can’t have the president’s personal attorney as the Attorney General. You don’t need a PhD in political science to know that.

Our Russia sanctions bill sends a clear message to Moscow that America stands firmly with Ukraine, and that Putin is fighting a losing battle. Putin’s ambitions beyond Ukraine are obvious—and we will keep fighting for as long as it takes to defeat him.

BREAKING: A federal appeals court just blocked Trump’s gold-plated ballroom. The People’s House is not a monument to Trump’s ego. Families need real economic relief, not another vanity project. Democrats are fighting to deliver it. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...

America lost 23,000 jobs in July because of Trump’s disastrous agenda and his reckless war in Iran. How are Americans supposed to afford Trump’s skyrocketing costs if they lose their jobs too?

Senate Democrats have stood up for Americans at every step of these budget negotiations. Americans expect their government to deliver for them, and we won’t stop until we get the job done.

Donald Trump’s economy is a failure. Job losses, skyrocketing costs, all while he’s fully consumed with interior design for the White House and golf. The only person who should be losing their job is Donald Trump. Accountability and a new way forward are coming in November.

Trump’s latest waste of time and money: $275 BILLION in taxpayer dollars for a “golden fleet” of Navy battleships with his name on them. Not a single penny to lower costs for the American people. Plenty to serve Trump’s egomania and narcissism.

Everything the Trump admin does can be summed up in four words: CORRUPTION AT YOUR EXPENSE. Trump is again spending billions of taxpayer money to limit the U.S. energy supply in favor of exporting more energy to countries like China to make your bills more expensive. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

61 years ago today , we passed the Voting Rights Act, a sacred law written from the sacrifice of Americans who fought and died for the right to vote and for racial justice. It’s under attack as Trump, Republicans, and a MAGA Court try to usher in Jim Crow 2.0.

Americans can’t fuel their cars on wishful thinking and Trump’s empty promises @democrats.senate.gov have forced 13 votes on Iran War Powers Resolutions to end Trump’s war And we’ll keep fighting for as long as it takes to bring our troops home, lower costs, and end this illegal, unnecessary war

Todd Blanche’s Department of Justice continues to let criminals off the hook so long as they’re loyal to Donald Trump. Trump already gave insurrectionists clemency, now he’s wiping their records clean. It doesn’t get more un-American than this.

Senate Republicans just rubber-stamped Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and one of the chief architects of the Epstein cover-up, Todd Blanche, to be Attorney General. They are the ultimate enablers of Donald Trump’s corruption. Americans will respond accordingly in November.

Trump’s Reflecting Pool debacle is so unbelievably stupid it would be funny—except American taxpayers are paying for it. Americans want lower costs, an end to the Iran war, an end to the constant corruption. Not millions in tax dollars for more of his vanity projects.

Trump is planning to gut Head Start—a devastating blow to our most vulnerable families. That means no math or literacy requirements, no health & safety screenings, no guarantee children can access medical services. He doesn't give a damn. He thinks the government exists to serve only him.

According to the Senate GOP: Todd Blanche became a different person somewhere between the confirmation hearing and today’s vote. He remains Trump’s personal lawyer. Same client. Same corruption. Same playbook. Nothing has changed. He has no business becoming Attorney General.

Senate Democrats have been clear: We want to fund the government, avoid a shutdown, and pass strong funding bills. We will keep fighting for a budget that delivers for the American people and thwarts Trump’s corrupt, costly, chaotic agenda that is stretching Americans thin.

Todd Blanche has spent his career enabling Trump's corruption and he has no intention of stopping.

If this were the CEO of a private company, they could face jail time. But for Trump? Just another Monday. He is the most corrupt president in our nation’s history. Democrats will hold him accountable for this and so much more.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is a gift to his Big Oil friends who bankrolled his campaign with the promise of raking in profits. Turns out it's the one promise he actually delivered on. Meanwhile, Americans are paying over $4 per gallon at the gas pump and suffering from rising energy costs.

Trump is making Americans less safe with his war in Iran. Hundreds of servicemembers injured, 18 dead, skyrocketing prices—now cyberattacks on the Homeland. The GOP needs to stand up to this lunacy and work with us to end this dangerous and unnecessary war. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

Trump is torching his own AG nominee so he can preserve his sweetheart tax deal that gives his family a blank check to commit tax fraud. This President is banking billions by abusing his power. Now he’s doing everything possible to make sure he’ll never be held accountable.

Trump wants to spend $2 billion in taxpayer dollars on payoffs for his MAGA followers—all while instituting the biggest health care cuts in history. Give me a break. We will not let it happen.

No. This is a bald faced lie. Trump cut the agency that protects cybersecurity by $700 million and still hasn’t nominated a permanent director for it. Trump is grossly incompetent. He is responsible.

Donald Trump’s rampant corruption and brazen self-dealing at the expense of the American taxpayer must be stopped. Unprecedented corruption calls for unprecedented legislation to fight back—that’s why I introduced the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act yesterday.

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.

Our servicemembers are facing down barrage after barrage of Iranian missiles and drones while Trump twiddles his thumbs. Posting lies and brushing casualties under the rug won't stop the missiles from flying or get our troops out of harm's way. Bring our troops home. End the war.

Trump knows he can’t defend the crippling costs, the rampant corruption coming out of his administration, or the unrelenting chaos he’s unleashed in our streets. And he knows he can’t defend himself from Americans’ wrath at the ballot box in November either.

Instead of standing with Ukraine, Trump has tried and failed to pander to Russia. Today, the Senate will vote to establish significant new sanctions to truly cripple the Russian war effort.

A new con comes out of the Trump administration almost every day—but the scheme always stays the same: Americans pay, Trump profits. @democrats.senate.gov are unmasking how the Trump admin is swindling Americans, holding their feet to the fire, and fighting for reforms to stop corruption.
- CS
Trump knows the American people are fed up with his failed leadership, so he’s moving to make it harder for them to hold him accountable in November. This is nothing other than voter suppression by another name. The Supreme Court must reject this latest, brazen attempted power grab.

I will block Donald Trump’s push to rename Penn Station for himself. Penn Station needs to be rebuilt, not rebranded. It is a public building, paid for by the taxpayers, and it belongs to the 600,000 people who walk through it every single day. www.fox5ny.com/news/schumer...
