Allowing poorly trained agents to roam our streets, kick down doors without warrants, and shoot people dead in the street is state-sanctioned violence—not immigration policy.

For Trump, everything is for sale. America’s natural beauty and public lands mean nothing to him as long as his donors can profit from them.

Very glad to see @newyorkstateag.bsky.social Tish James leading New York and 11 other states in challenging the Paramount merger, which reeks of political manipulation and monopolization, and would be a disaster for workers in the entertainment industry and American consumers.

Donald Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: He has no issue with shutting the federal government down to force through his voter suppression bill to disenfranchise millions of American citizens.

Donald Trump's so-called “understanding” with Iran fell apart faster than the ink could dry. The House and Senate both voted to remove our forces from harm’s way and end this war now. Trump must comply. Enough is enough. End the war.

Another person killed by ICE agents, this time in Maine. His family deserves answers. We need a complete, independent, and transparent investigation immediately.

BREAKING: We just got a big win against Trump’s two-billion-dollar taxpayer-funded MAGA slush fund and his family’s sweetheart tax fraud deal.

Trump wants to shut down the government in September to force Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE Act, rig the midterm elections, and disenfranchise millions of American citizens. If the government shuts down in September, remember one man was cheerleading for that outcome all along: Donald Trump.

Millions of Americans are being crushed by housing costs. Donald Trump called their crisis “a big yawn”—then refused to sign the most significant bipartisan housing bill in decades. His priorities couldn’t be clearer: higher costs for families and more power for himself.

Donald Trump said Republicans should “take over the voting.” Today, he took another step toward doing exactly that. Firing every remaining member of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission months before the midterms is a brazen attempt to seize control of our elections before a vote is cast.

Trump’s shameless self-enrichment has turned into a serious national security threat. His rampant, reckless, and rotten corruption comes at a real cost to our safety and Americans’ bank accounts.

There must be a full, independent, and transparent investigation into the shooting that led to Lorenzo Salgado Araujo’s death. ICE has routinely unleashed chaos and violence on our streets. Democrats will keep fighting for reforms to rein in ICE and end the violence. apnews.com/article/ice-...

Republicans ended the ACA tax credits. The result? A health care affordability crisis with no end in sight. When Democrats take back the Senate, lowering your health care costs will be a top priority. apnews.com/article/affo...

Donald Trump’s rambling, unhinged, confused performance this morning was an embarrassment. Serving as Putin's mouthpiece, undermining our allies, and cheerleading for war — that's Trump’s vision for our country. In November, Americans will have a chance to take us down a different path.

Donald Trump’s presidency is defined by destruction, chaos, illegal wars, and rising costs. He never had a serious plan for stopping his war. Senate Democrats remain united in our efforts to end this illegal war immediately and permanently.

Trump DOJ’s campaign to subvert the election took another hit today, this time by a Trump-appointed judge. He found that the Trump DOJ’s staggeringly broad subpoena would “chill participation in future elections.”

I will NOT support a Farm Bill that doesn’t protect SNAP funding. A Farm Bill that abandons hungry families is wholly unacceptable.

The founding fathers called America God’s noble experiment. I believe in all three words to this day: we are one nation under God, we have clung to noble ideas for longer than any other nation, and we are an experiment always changing, trying to make ourselves better.

I’m disturbed to learn that there was yet another potential act of violence in a house of worship—at the Muslim Center in Queens. I’m relieved he was subdued by a congregant before any harm occurred. Islamophobia is unacceptable, and we must continue to reject hatred and bigotry in every form.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is one year old. So is the health care crisis it created. 5 million people lost coverage. More than 1,000 hospitals, clinics, and nursing homes face cuts or closure. Over 20 million families face skyrocketing premiums.

New York counties are scrambling for funding to keep SNAP alive after the Big Ugly Bill made the largest program cuts in history. Now, the GOP is pushing a Farm Bill that doesn’t even mention SNAP. I will not support a Farm Bill that abandons hungry families. It's a nonstarter.

Trump signed the Big Beautiful Bill one year ago, bragging about tax cuts. Instead, it sent health care costs soaring for millions, kicked 800,000 kids off SNAP, and shuttered health care clinics across the country. A huge win for billionaires. A massive loss for working families.

We just got even more evidence that American families are struggling under Trump’s economy. Fewer jobs, less wage growth, and people giving up on the job hunt altogether. And Trump couldn’t care less.

One year after the GOP passed the One Big UGLY Bill, the results are in: • 800,000 kids lost SNAP benefits. • 5M lost health coverage. • 1,000+ hospitals, clinics, nursing homes face cuts or closure. • Health care premiums doubled for millions. That's what they're celebrating.

Trump on lowering housing prices: “I don’t want to. It’s a yawn.” In fact, he won’t sign our bipartisan bill to finally bring relief to the housing market until he gets his SAVE Act to rig the midterms and kick millions of American citizens off the voter rolls. America First!

This morning, I stood with leaders of our great Haitian community to demand one thing: EXTEND TPS for our Haitian friends and neighbors. This administration chooses to villainize the Haitian people to pull attention away from their catastrophic failures. We can’t let them get away with it.

The Supreme Court just upheld this bedrock American principle: if you cast your ballot on time, your vote will count. Participation in democracy should never be limited – not by your race, where you live, or how you vote.

It was an honor to march in the NYC Pride Parade! I was the first Senator to march in this parade, and it’s amazing to see the progress we’ve made on LGBTQ+ equality since then. With the Trump admin in the White House, we must protect that progress from those who wish to take us back in time.

Wonder why Trump bailed on signing our housing affordability bill into law this week? Well, this and because he wants to kick millions of American citizens off the voter rolls to rig the November election for himself.

Today’s decision is a very significant victory for free and fair elections and a defeat for Donald Trump’s vile efforts to make it harder for people to vote. Once again, the courts have reaffirmed that Trump’s efforts to subvert the election are patently unconstitutional.

Today marks a grim four years since the devastating Dobbs ruling Women have faced chaos, uncertainty, and fear when it comes to their reproductive freedom and health care for four long years We must restore the right to abortion, and I won't stop fighting until we do

In Trump’s post-Roe America: —20+ states have total or near-total abortion bans —Women have to travel hundreds of miles to get care they need —Patients & doctors punished like criminals for lifesaving treatment Republicans can’t hide from the pain they've inflicted on women

FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY: With their dreadful Dobbs decision, six far-right Justices broke nearly 50 years of precedent to rip away the right to choose from millions of women. It will go down as one of the most damaging, deeply out-of-touch Supreme Court decisions in our history.

Ever since the awful Dobbs decision, the GOP has not stopped working to restrict access to abortion care. I'm with @murray.senate.gov hearing from people who've been forced to live with the consequences of this assault on their reproductive freedom, discussing how we're fighting back.

Today, Congress stood up to Donald Trump and voted to end his costly, unnecessary, and devastating war with Iran. Let me be clear: for the first time, this resolution has passed both chambers of Congress and does not require the President’s signature.

Free and fair elections in America got a big boost in court yesterday. Letting Trump scrape through Americans’ private data to purge them from the voter rolls is ILLEGAL. Democrats will keep blocking Trump's anti-democracy SAVE Act, and we won't let him rig the rules in November.

NEWS: Democrats will force a vote on a House-passed Iran War Powers Resolution to end the war. This will be our TENTH War Powers vote to put Republicans on the record and end this costly war once and for all. We will put Senate Republicans on record again and again.

I OPPOSE the Save Our Bacon Act and any attempt to jam it into the Farm Bill. This bill would gut state food safety and animal welfare laws, wipe out voter-approved protections, and strip states like NY of the right to set basic standards. It is a giveaway to Big Ag and meat monopolies.
- CS
Trump is proudly holding American national security hostage by demanding to attach the SAVE Act to FISA. The SAVE Act is the worst anti-voting rights legislation he’s ever dreamed up. And he's threatening our national security just to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

As Trump fixates on his vanity projects, @democrats.senate.gov are advancing our housing bill to address issues Americans actually care about. Our ROAD to Housing bill is a strong start to putting us on the right track to fixing the housing shortage that's driving up costs in our country.
