I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.
- CS
Kristi Noem has been fired. Good riddance. But the problems at DHS go much deeper than any one person. The President must rein in ICE and end the violence.

If Trump doesn’t want gas prices to go up, he shouldn’t have started the war in Iran. This is yet another sign that this administration seems allergic to having a plan and thinking about the consequences of their actions. Shame on the Senate GOP for not standing up to Trump and his reckless war.

The people who deserve a refund from Trump's trade war are American households and small businesses, not large corporations. Corporations should pass savings of any tariff refunds to American consumers.

I’m proud to lead @democrats.senate.gov in introducing the Family Grocery and Farmer Relief Act. Our bill will break the monopoly power that has played a sinister role in raising prices of beef and groceries for Americans.

10 years later, the so-called “Peace President” and his administration seem to think wars should be fought forever…

The Senate is about to vote on our War Powers Resolution. If just 5 Republican Senators won’t vote with Democrats to stop Donald Trump’s military madness, they alone will own the consequences of this reckless war.

Last night’s elections proved one thing: People are fed up with Donald Trump and congressional Republicans. Democrats are going to do what Donald Trump refuses to do—fight the affordability crisis every day, all year long.

Here in the Senate, we have a chance to say no more to Donald Trump's military insanity. Today the Senate will vote on a bipartisan war powers resolution led by me, @kaine.senate.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and Senator Rand Paul to put a STOP to military activity in Iran. We must act.

I sat yesterday with my Senate colleagues for an all-senators briefing, and here’s how much clarity we got out of that briefing: Zero.

The Senate is moving long-overdue housing legislation: The 21st Century Road to Housing Act. Democrats know this is only the first step. We have much more work to do, and we will keep fighting to lower housing costs for working Americans.
- CS
The American people want and need help affording everyday cost of living. Instead, Donald Trump has plunged us into another endless war costing billions of taxpayer dollars and American lives.

We grieve the deaths of six U.S. Servicemembers who were killed in action this weekend. Their families are in our hearts. We pray for all American families who have loved ones serving. And we pray for everyone across the Middle East who are now in harm's way.

10 minutes of training on Constitutional guardrails is not enough for agents enforcing the law. This is why we need real reforms for ICE.

The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal tariffs that took over $130 BILLION from small businesses and families. That's why I'm demanding that the Trump administration begin processing refunds automatically—no delays or conditions. That money belongs to the American people.

Looks like my threat of a GAO audit got their attention. Now they better close the offshore accounts and make way for oversight. Also, where’s JD Vance’s corruption task force?

Senate Democrats will review the unredacted Epstein files in the coming days. The whole world is going to know exactly what Pam Bondi knew, when she knew it, and what she did to cover it up. The survivors deserve the truth, and the American people are demanding it.

Thanks to Donald Trump and Republican’s Big Ugly Bill, the Medicare trust fund will run out 12 years sooner than before. In other words, Trump has accelerated Medicare's demise by more than a decade with one single bill.

Under Donald Trump, manufacturing jobs are down by 100,000.

Ground beef is up 11%. Coffee is up 14%. Rent is up. And thanks to Trump's tariffs, American families are spending over $1,700 more this year—that is a heck of a lot of money when folks are struggling to pay bills. Trump has no plan to fix any of this and is only making it worse.

With costs out of control—who in America feels like they’re “winning so much”? Maybe billionaires, but that’s it.

The DOJ's handling of the Epstein files has all the stench of a cover up. Pam Bondi does not have the right to pick and choose which Epstein files to release to the public. The American people were promised the truth.
- CS
The Epstein Files coverup keeps getting worse: The DOJ has apparently withheld several memos detailing accusations against Trump. AG Pam Bondi: It's not your job to protect the President from embarrassment, it's your job to give Americans full access to the truth.

Trump lied to the American people last night when he said he would protect Medicare. Here’s the truth: Republican’s Big Ugly Bill slashed 12 years of Medicare benefits for seniors. x.com/marcgoldwein...

Trump's first year in office has been a disaster—and every single one of my State of the Union guests have been hurt by his radical and dangerous policies. It's important everyone hear these stories.

If JD Vance wants to get to the bottom of fraud and corruption in government, the good news is that all he has to do is walk down the hall into the Oval Office.

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.

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.

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.

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.
