Americans have questions: What about my electricity bill? How am I going to pay for my groceries? How am I going to afford healthcare? Trump’s answer: affordability is a hoax. He’s in a bubble so thick he can’t hear what people are going through. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

For nearly two hours: Trump congratulated himself, inflated his own ego, patted himself on the back, and offered no solutions to our country’s many problems.

Last night was not America's State of the Union, it was Donald Trump's State of Delusion.

Affordability: Trump thinks it’s a hoax, but the American people know exactly what it is.

Dylan entered legally, followed the law, showed up to his court hearing—he was still detained. Raiza, his mother and my SOTU guest, shared the nightmare her family has endured since. While Trump lies, thousands of families are living with the consequences of ICE’s cruelty.

As Trump rambles on, the American people are still waiting for justice and transparency on the Epstein Files. My #SOTU guest, Dani Bensky, was a victim of abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, and like so many of her fellow survivors, she’s not standing down in the fight for justice:

Aleshandra Fernandes is another one of my guests at tonight’s State of the Union. She’s a union ironworker on offshore wind projects on Long Island. Thanks to Trump’s attempts to shutter offshore wind projects, she no longer feels secure in her livelihood.

The American people will see tonight that Democrats offer a better choice forward: A choice to lower costs. A choice to end the chaos. A choice to restore some sanity to our country.

Dani is a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse. She’s here today as my guest to attend the State of the Union because even after everything she endured, she is still fighting—not just for herself but for every survivor who was silenced, ignored, and dismissed.

Tonight, the American people will see a president whose ego does not let him see the reality of Trump 2.0: Costs. Chaos. Corruption.

Tonight, I'm joined by 4 great New Yorkers—each of them proof of the consequences of Trump’s actions:

Trump’s first year in office recapped: —Illegal tariffs have raised costs —Masked ICE agents are terrorizing our neighborhoods like cartel thugs (right Senator Mike Lee?) —And they still won’t show us the full Epstein files

Donald Trump said he is going to talk for a very long time tonight. God help us. Not sure what he thinks there is to celebrate, because America is a mess thanks to him.

Reminder that THIS is the state of our union:

On top of wasting your taxpayer money on whatever this is, he is hiding the truth of the Epstein files and protecting the powerful instead of seeking justice for the victims. What an embarrassment of an FBI Director.

Trump doesn't care about the burdens he's imposing on Americans with his tariffs—but Democrats do. We will NOT extend the Trump tariffs once they expire in a few months. We'll do everything we can to stop them. We won't stand for higher prices and more inflation.

I’m proud to bring Dani Bensky, New Yorker and survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, as my guest to the State of the Union to demand the truth. Dani has turned unimaginable pain into unrelenting advocacy. Survivors deserve justice. Trump must end the cover-up and release the full Epstein files—NOW.

NEWS: Raiza Contreras, a Bronx mother whose family has been ripped apart by ICE, will be my guest at the State of the Union.

Trump’s chaotic tariff policies have already been rebuked by Democrats, Republicans, and even the Supreme Court. They are a tax on Americans, driving prices higher for families. @democrats.senate.gov will block any attempt to extend Trump’s tariffs when they expire this summer.

Americans are losing their health care to pay for Kristi Noem’s luxury plane. Democrats are going to make Senate Republicans defend this indefensible spending.

Trump illegally taxed American families and small businesses, and he’s not giving them their money back. Even his Treasury Secretary admits it. x.com/factpostnews...

A victory for the wallets of every American consumer. Trump’s illegal tariff tax just collapsed—He tried to govern by decree and stuck families with the bill. Enough chaos. End the trade war.

Now Trump wants to spend $2 BILLION to recreate what already exists, with worse results. This is exactly what I warned about and it is exactly why I launched an investigation into the Trump administration’s domestic and global health cuts.

This is Aliya Rahman, a disabled US citizen who was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when she was violently assaulted, arrested, and detained by ICE agents. This is why we’re not giving DHS a cent until ICE is reined in – including use of force standards to which they can be held accountable.

Happy Lunar New Year! I was glad to join Senator John Liu’s celebration as we kick off festivities across the country. May the Year of the Fire Horse bring bold energy, resilience, and forward momentum to all who celebrate.

This goes beyond Epstein. I met with survivors & advocates in Rochester and Buffalo to push Virginia’s Law to eliminate the statute of limitations that has shielded criminals like Epstein. Because justice should NEVER expire.

Jesse Jackson was an icon of the civil rights movement and a fearless warrior for justice for all. He was one of the most powerful forces for positive change in our country and our world. America is a more equal, just place thanks to his work. My prayers are with his family & those inspired by him.

This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own. And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

This is not America. This is why Democrats voted NO on more funding for ICE. And we will continue to do so until ICE is reined in and the violence ends.

Trump tried to throw two US senators of the opposite party in jail simply because he didn’t like what they said. This is an attack on free speech. This is an attack on democracy. This is an attack on the rule of law. And the American people won’t stand for it.
- CS
When a President tries to jail Senators for speaking their minds just because he disagrees with them, that is not a Democrat or Republican problem—it’s a constitutional crisis of the highest order. We must all come together and take action to stop this erosion of our democracy.

I’m thankful our Constitution prevailed and protected Sens. Slotkin’s and Kelly’s right to free speech. But the fact that Trump weaponized the DOJ to even attempt this grotesque indictment is beyond alarming. Today it was six Democratic members of Congress, tomorrow it could be anyone.
- CS
Donald Trump has declared war on free speech.
- CS
A grand jury made up of ordinary Americans REJECTED Trump’s abuse of power targeting Sens. Slotkin and Kelly. I’m so proud of their courage, their poise, their loyalty to our democracy and our constitution. Senate Dems will not let this witch hunt go unanswered.

We’re 3 days away from a DHS shutdown and Republicans have not gotten serious about negotiating a solution that reins in ICE and stops the violence. Democrats will not support a CR to extend the status quo.

My friend Charlie Rangel represented Harlem in Congress for 46 years. War hero. Assistant U.S. Attorney for SDNY. Founding member of @cbc.house.gov. Tireless legislator. Mentor. And so much more. We remember Charlie as one of the most effective lawmakers in Congress.

Virginia's Law. Named after late Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre who spoke out on behalf of so many, Virginia's Law will eliminate the statute of limitations that has denied survivors the ability to hold criminals like Epstein accountable. The time for justice is now.

The Trump administration is all talk, no action. Thousands of agents are still roaming the streets in Minneapolis, assaulting people, and barging into homes. It’s only a matter of time before someone else gets seriously hurt. Democrats will not pass a DHS funding bill without serious reforms.
- CS
Democrats are STILL waiting on Republicans to come to the table and negotiate commonsense reforms to rein in ICE and bring an end to the violence. We must end roving patrols. We must have a code of conduct. We must end secret police.
