Happy Vaisakhi! Today Sikh communities worldwide celebrate the 1699 founding of the Khalsa — a vibrant tradition of equality, selfless service, and courage. Wishing everyone celebrating a day filled with joy and chardi kala.

Trump is leading our troops into a literal minefield abroad—and leading American families into an economic minefield here at home. This is NOT “Operation Epic Fury.” Let’s call Trump’s Iran policy what it is: Operation Epic Failure.

Today, during Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews and countless others who perished in the Holocaust. We renew our solemn pledge: never again.

Donald Trump refuses to accept commonsense, bipartisan reforms to ICE and CBP. Republicans would rather keep DHS shuttered than cross the man who has made cruelty the centerpiece of his agenda.

This week, for the 4th time since this war began, Democrats will force a vote to stop the war in Iran and rein in an out-of-control Trump. For the 4th time, Republicans will have the chance to end this war.

Update on Trump’s Operation Epic Fail: Strait of Hormuz: complete chaos Iranian regime: still standing Gas prices: Highest in years Iran's nuclear ambitions: exactly the same America's international credibility: worse We must end this war immediately before Donald Trump makes things even worse.

Trump’s own agencies are predicting a dangerous wildfire season. His response? Undermine the lead agency tasked with assessing that risk. Why does he hate our country and our public lands so much?

Trump is a military moron. His war, with a price tag of $44 billion and $4+ gas, made us worse off today than we were when he started it. And if he restarts this war we will be in even worse shape. We must pass our War Powers Resolution to end this war for good.

This is an extremely sick person. Each Republican who refuses to join us in voting against this wanton war of choice owns every consequence of whatever the hell this is.

Hundreds of billions more for war around the world, but we ‘can’t afford’ healthcare and childcare here at home?

A complete betrayal of everything Trump campaigned on in 2024.

My Statement on Trump’s Budget: It’s Rotten to the Core

Dems held the line: fund DHS, not ICE abuses. We passed a bipartisan deal through the Senate unanimously. Twice. Then Mike Johnson flip-flopped and blocked it. I went on @cnn.com to lay out the facts:

NEWS: House Republicans caved. They’ve agreed to pass the Senate bill to fund DHS except for ICE and CBP that unanimously passed a week ago.

One second, Trump is the “Peace President.” The next, he’s dragged us into war. And his address tonight? It doesn’t matter. His words are meaningless—he says what’s convenient, then does the opposite. This is how you burn trust, risk lives, and lead our country into chaos.

A 60 day CR that locks in the status quo is dead on arrival in the Senate, and Republicans know it. We’ve been clear from day one: Democrats will fund critical Homeland Security functions, but we will not give a blank check to Trump’s lawless and deadly immigration militia without reforms.

After weeks of negotiations, Republicans caved to our demands to fund DHS without a blank check for ICE and CBP. My full statement below:

Trump promised lower energy bills. Instead, they skyrocketed. Democrats’ plan to bring them down: 1. Build more clean energy 2. Cut delays — not protections 3. Fix the grid 4. Make data centers pay their fair share 5. Protect consumers www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/c...

If Republicans want to shove the SAVE Act into reconciliation, then have at it. Democrats will fight it tooth and nail, every step of the way. They're going to find it very difficult to jam these massive changes to the American election system.

Today, for the TENTH TIME, Democrats will go to the floor to demand that we pay TSA immediately. And for the TENTH TIME, Republicans will have a chance to join us. I’m not holding my breath.
- CS
Senate Republicans have now blocked TSA funding 9 times. They are solely responsible for the chaos travelers are experiencing. We welcome them to join Democrats at the table any time to fund TSA and restore order to our airports.

ICE needs to leave the airports NOW. Trump needs to pay TSA workers NOW, and push Republicans to reach a deal. No intimidation forces at our airports. No more chaos at checkpoints. Enough is enough.
- CS
The MAGA Voter ID provision is a cover up to the SAVE Act’s core voter suppression provisions. Let’s be clear: this bill and this provision are about purging millions of Americans from the voter rolls to tip the scales for a flailing Donald Trump.

A month ago, the national price of gasoline as $2.93 a gallon. Today it's $3.94. One man is to blame: Donald Trump.

ICE must change its violent ways. The last thing Americans want is ICE detaining passengers at airports and making things worse. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best: Fund TSA, rein in ICE, and move our country in the right direction.
- CS
Donald Trump is tying himself in a triple knot. 1. Refusing to fund TSA and causing chaos at our airports 2. Starting a reckless war of choice in Iran 3. Pushing a voter suppression bill to disenfranchise over 20 million American citizens And each day he ties the knot tighter.

NEWS: Republican Leader John Thune told Trump that Senate Republicans would finally join Senate Democrats to support funding all of DHS except ICE. Donald Trump said no. This shutdown is on him alone.

Even some Republican Senators are openly admitting they have no clue what the Administration is trying to accomplish in the Middle East. Enough is enough. End this war.

Instead of sending ICE agents to harass travelers at airports, why don’t Republicans get their act together and agree to pay TSA workers like we’ve asked them to SEVEN TIMES now?
- CS
ZERO Republican Senators voted to fund TSA. This is the seventh time Republicans have blocked pay for TSA. Seven. Times. They would rather hold TSA hostage to try to force billions more for an unrestrained, out of control ICE. Despicable.

The cruelty is the point. Trump’s goal is to distract you from rising gas prices, his aimless war, ICE abuses, and the Epstein files. Don’t give him what he wants. And may Robert Mueller, a US Marine and lifelong public servant, rest in peace.

BREAKING: I’m bringing a motion to the floor to FULLY FUND TSA. Republicans Senators will be forced on the record: they can either vote to fund TSA for good or be fully responsible for its continued shutdown.
- CS
This is pathetic. Clearly, they don’t want to defend what they know they can’t defend. We need public hearings with Hegseth and Rubio under oath so the American people can get answers about the end game and the price they’re paying for Trump’s war.

Americans are being forced to choose between life-saving medicine and everyday necessities, all while Trump requests $200 billion more for his war. Remember, extending the ACA tax credits for more than 20 million Americans would have cost LESS THAN HALF of that. This is Donald Trump’s America.

As we have all week, Democrats will continue to hold the floor to block the Republican voter suppression SAVE Act. And as I’ve said all week: We will not let this bill pass under any circumstances, no matter how long it takes.

For $200 billion we could lower health care premiums for tens of millions of Americans.

If Trump wants $200 billion, it means he believes we may be at war for a very, very long time. That’s the last thing Americans want.

In a few minutes Democrats will be giving Republicans a FIFTH chance to pay TSA workers. Will they finally fund TSA or once again object?

Trump promised to cut people's electricity bills in half by the end of his first year in office. Instead, they've risen by almost triple the rate of inflation.

Donald Trump says he’s hoping China will help us clear the Strait of Hormuz. Are you kidding me? Donald Trump created a mess in the Middle East, and he clearly has no plan for how to end it.
- CS
Not a single Senate Democrat will support the SAVE Act. Not this week. Not next week. Not ever. We will oppose it on the floor as long as it takes.
- CS
Trump and Republicans think rising gas prices are “a small price to pay”—they should try to tell that to Americans who must now choose between filling their tank and putting food on the table.

Democrats are ready to fund TSA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund CISA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund FEMA. And Coast Guard. Republicans are blocking it.
