As I’ve said from day one, this reckless, illegal war was a mistake and it’s no surprise it led to a shameful deal. This war must end.

Trump is claiming there is no $300 Billion Dollar payment to Iran by the U.S… These are his handwritten initials. He should read his own memo of understanding.

Senate Democrats have been working tirelessly to address the housing affordability crisis in our country. The ROAD to Housing bill is a CRUCIAL first step towards building more housing to lower costs and ensuring Americans don’t have to break the bank to keep a roof over their head.

The U.S. is worse off because of Trump’s incompetence, his ego, and his inability to listen to facts. If Trump wants to send hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran, he’ll need to do with Republican votes. Democrats will not be helping Trump send $300 billion to Iran.

In Iran, the Art of the Deal turned into the art of disaster. The American people are paying the price for Trump’s incompetence: 13 Americans killed, hundreds wounded, higher gas prices, and the cost of everything from groceries to basic necessities are higher than ever.

Trump has now spent $2.6 billion in tax-payer money to kill offshore wind projects. These projects represented thousands of good union jobs, billions in economic development, and millions of homes worth of desperately needed electricity.

Donald Trump attacked child care funding and sent child care costs skyrocketing through the roof. When Democrats retake the majority, we will be ready on day one to take on the child care crisis and advance real solutions that help families access and afford the care they need for their children.

Three days later and there’s still massive confusion about Trump's "understanding" with Iran. This is foreign policy by clown car. Trump must brief Congress, release the official text of the “understanding”, disclose any secret side deals to the public immediately, and end this war now.

THE US SENATE UNANIMOUSLY AGREES – KNICKS IN 5! By unanimous consent, I just passed a Senate Resolution congratulating the Knicks on their championship to immortalize this historic team in the halls of Congress.

Trump is taking our national security hostage. All the consequences that come from undercutting our national security will fall on Trump and any Republicans who go along with his dangerous, partisan games.

The housing shortage is raising costs for renters and homebuyers and is nothing less than an existential threat to the American dream. That's why the ROAD to Housing bill is an important first step toward lowering housing costs by putting in place critical new reforms to build more housing.

Elections in America belong to voters, not Trump. @democrats.senate.gov are using every tool to fight back against Trump & the GOP’s destructive efforts to tamper with our democracy this November. I asked Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes if he'd ever seen anything like this before:

Instead of draining the swamp, Trump built a brand new one with $14 million of your tax dollars.

As Trump gears up to steal the 2026 elections, @democrats.senate.gov Election Protection Task Force is working hard to counter his interference efforts and protect free and fair elections. We won't let Trump discount the votes of the American people.

Linda McMahon and Donald Trump continue to undermine our ability to educate our children and to fight against civil rights violations and hate on college campuses. From combatting antisemitism to supporting special education, this administration’s policies have been one failure after another.

I just went to the Senate floor to force Republicans on the record. They sided with Trump’s insurrectionist army and his corrupt IRS tax exemption scheme instead of hardworking American families.

NEW: @murray.senate.gov, @warren.senate.gov, & I released a report on Trump’s BROKEN PROMISE to make child care more affordable ⬇️ He's not just refusing to lower child care costs—he’s making it more expensive and taking a wrecking ball to child care programs www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Trump's demand to tie the SAVE Act to FISA proves, once again, that he has no problem undermining US national security if he thinks it will help him politically. The SAVE Act is a vicious piece of anti-voting rights legislation. It will not pass. www.axios.com/2026/06/14/t...

It’s been nearly 24 hours since Donald Trump announced an “understanding” with Iran, and we still don’t have any details. Trump must brief Congress and the American people and explain the details of this deal immediately, and put an end this war once and for all.

Americans pay the price when wars, pandemics, & other shocks disrupt our supply chains. That's why I introduced the Make More in America Act to invest in US manufacturing to create jobs, lower costs, strengthen national security, & build a more resilient economy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump’s special interest friends went to Trump’s DOJ to bless a merger reeking of political manipulation. This merger, above all, is about diminishing free speech and concentrating the airwaves to one viewpoint: Trump’s. Not to mention it will raise costs and hurt American consumers and workers.

Donald Trump is still hiding at least 3 million pages of the Epstein files. Donald Trump turned the Situation Room into an Epstein crisis communications room. And yet the simplest, most moral solution remains: Release all the files NOW. Give the survivors the justice they deserve.

Trump doubled down on his reckless decision to appoint Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence. At a time when the US is at war and prepping for massive security events like the World Cup & America250, we need a DNI with extensive experience in national security. Pulte has none.

They lied in April. They lied in May. They're lying in June. Trump's word means nothing. So Democrats will keep forcing votes on our War Powers Resolution to end this reckless war.

Another month of Trump’s illegal Iran war, another month of Trump’s tariffs, another month of Republican control of Congress. The result? A new all time high for Trumpflation.

Trump officially nominated Todd Blanche to be Attorney General permanently. “Attorney General” might appear on his business card, but we all know his job description will stay the same: Trump’s fixer, bagman, hired gun. We will fight his confirmation relentlessly.

American soldiers were shot down in Iran as Trump was wasting taxpayer dollars to fall asleep while watching the Knicks. Each day this illegal war drags on further exposes this President's recklessness.

Thanks to Republicans' tax giveaways for billionaires, Social Security has seen the worst drop in its long-term solvency in more than 30 years. Speaker Johnson says the quiet part out loud: Republicans will CUT Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare next year if they remain in control.

100 days of Trump’s illegal war. 8 times Senate Democrats have given Republicans a chance to end this illegal war. How much longer do prices have to rise and families of service members have to wait for Republican Senators to grow a spine?

50-49—By one vote the GOP chose to keep Trump’s insurrectionist slush fund dream alive After they fumbled around for hours, we needed one more Republican to muster the courage to end Trump’s taxpayer handout to cop beaters & felons As per usual, they were spineless www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

Democrats made sure that today's vote-a-rama happens in broad daylight because Americans deserve to see what the GOP is prioritizing over lowering their costs. We will not let Republicans force their radical reconciliation bill under the cover of night.
