It’s a new week in Washington, but one thing remains the same: The SAVE Act is dead on arrival in the United States Senate. It will not pass—not now, not ever.

Good. This deal should never have been allowed in the first place. But even with this delay, we must keep fighting with our Attorneys General and ensure that this deal, which harms consumers, workers, and freedom of speech, is permanently blocked.

Trump admits he’s ripping the rug out from under hardworking families so he can get revenge on the Americans who didn’t vote for him. It’s sick and deranged. His ego is so fragile, he’ll punish families already struggling to put food on the table for a little bit of vengeance.

Has there ever been a more Low T President than Trump? Why is Sec Hegseth agreeing to disrespect American heroes just to assuage Trump’s fragile ego? Disgraceful!

I was in Troy on Monday calling on Republicans to keep hungry families fed and work with Democrats to delay the upcoming SNAP cost shift. Food banks alone can’t fill the gap left by Republicans’ SNAP cuts. We must listen to our local food bank leaders: www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Donald Trump has spent 5 months lying to you about how long his Iran war will take. His presidency is officially defined by more endless foreign war:

Trump corrupts everything he touches, and our elections are next He knows he can’t outrun the GOP’s awful record, so he’s trying to rig the race Our Election Protection Task Force will do everything we can to stop his assault on our midterms. American voters will be heard loud and clear

Gas prices are up Grocery bills are up We’ve lost 75,000 manufacturing jobs And Trump is TRIPLING down on his chaotic tariff tax, pushing prices even higher Trump is bleeding Americans dry with his tariffs.

Democrats are forcing another vote on our War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s war in Iran. Senate GOP: Stop indulging Trump’s foreign policy of fantasy. Support our War Powers Resolution. End the war. Bring our troops home.

Reminder that Republicans: Slashed $1 TRILLION from our health care system Kicked 5 million people off their health insurance Put 750+ hospitals and health clinics at risk of closing This is their “plan” for health care.

I just asked for unanimous consent on my Presidential Airlift Security Act, which would BAN taxpayer dollars from being used on Trump’s luxury, foreign-gifted jet. Senator Fischer objected because the GOP wants your money to go to Trump’s vanity projects.

Trump’s disregard for our service members is beneath contempt and beyond despicable. The lives of our service members are not points on a scoreboard. Democrats will force another vote on a War Powers Resolution to end this war and bring our troops home.

It wasn’t enough for Trump to make taxpayers fund his golden ballroom—now he wants them to fund his palace in the sky too. My Presidential Airlift Security Act will ensure that Americans don't foot the bill to “max out” his luxury jet.

Everyday there’s a new story about how Trump’s corruption is rampant and raises costs for the American people. The gilded ballroom, corrupt slush fund, sweetheart tax break, Truth API, and $1 billion to retrofit Trump’s new Air Force One. His corruption knows no bounds:

Last year, I forced a vote to block Trump from taking a single cent of taxpayer money to renovate his foreign-gifted luxury jet. Every single Republican voted to let Trump spend taxpayer $ on it. Now, taxpayers will foot a new bill to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars to “max” it out.

Nothing says 'golden age' like gas over $4, endless foreign wars, skyrocketing costs, election denialism, and withholding millions of pages of the Epstein files.

Trump’s corruption knows no bounds Truth API is the definition of insider trading: For $100K/month, investors can turn a profit off early access to his market-moving posts, while he rakes in hundreds of millions in fees As usual, he's selling out America to the highest bidder

Pete Hegseth was busy marketing testosterone supplements for troops while withholding casualty numbers from the Iran war from the American people. If he actually cared about our service members, he'd be focused on bringing them home safely—not their testosterone levels.
- CS
The foreign-gifted, $400 million jet now being used as Air Force One is one of the most brazen acts of presidential corruption in the history of our country. We must pass my bill, the Presidential Airlift Security Act, to ban Donald Trump from using your money for his national security nightmare.

Every second Trump prolongs his war in Iran is another second our service members remain in danger. @democrats.senate.gov will force Senate Republicans to take another vote to end this war and bring our troops home. Enough is enough. End this war.

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’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.

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.

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.

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.
- CS
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?

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.
