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.

The nomination of Benjamin Flowers as Circuit Judge for the 6th Circuit is nothing short of disturbing He's fought against birthright citizenship, abortion rights, the 2020 election, sided with abusers over survivors and with Trump over our Constitution reproductivefreedomforall.org/resources/be...

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.

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...

The NYT reporters had every right to report the truth, and Trump’s efforts to intimidate them and their families deserve universal condemnation. Freedom of the press—and the American people’s freedom from a President that sells them out to the highest bidder—must be preserved at all costs.

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.

But this is just the first step – we must continue to support @newyorkstateag.bsky.social and the other Attorneys General in their fight on this issue.

It’s bad for entertainment industry workers, bad for American consumers, and a gift to Donald Trump and his biggest donors in their bid to make one of our largest news stations into a MAGA echo chamber, all while increasing streaming costs.

Good. This merger should never have been allowed to proceed in the first place. It is the pathway towards destroying freedom of the press and democracy.

Let me be clear: violence like this is never acceptable. I am closely monitoring the situation, and I thank the NYPD, the FBI, FDNY, and the Joint Terrorism Task Force for their swift response.
- CS
I applaud local and federal law enforcement and the FDNY for their quick actions in response to the disturbing, violent attack at 26 Federal Plaza this morning. Their prompt actions kept people safe and helped apprehend the suspect.

They cannot block every safeguard and then disown the deadly consequences. We must pass the commonsense reforms Democrats offered to prevent more killings.
- CS
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.

They are losing, and they know it. Election officials will not be intimidated. Senate Democrats will make sure resources are in place to fight back against any illegal activity by the Trump administration.

We Democrats are engaged in doing exactly that, and we will not let this President use delusional bias and a desperate attempt to preserve his personal political power to attack and undermine Americans' sacred right to vote.
- CS
This President sadly wallows in grievance, vengeance, and conspiracy while Americans want their leaders to boldly tackle persistent inflation, expensive groceries, rising gas prices, and terrible cuts to affordable healthcare.
- CS
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.

We’ve been here before. Senate Democrats will lead a whole-of-government effort to ensure free, fair, and secure elections that are not contingent on Donald Trump’s temper tantrums.

Trump knows it—and he is trying to make sure Americans can’t hold him accountable at the ballot box. That’s what his speech is about tonight.
- CS
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.
- CS
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.

- CS
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
Blanche and Clayton’s fear of Donald Trump is greater than their sense of duty to the American people.
- 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?

Senate Democrats just sent a clear message: the day after Trump notifies the extension of this unauthorized war, defies bipartisan majorities in Congress, and refuses to level with the American people about the cost, the mission, or the endgame, we will not proceed as if business is usual.
- CS
Trump is expecting Congress to look the other way and ignore his illegal war, just days after he tore up his own ceasefire deal and dramatically escalated the fighting. We won’t look away.

Donald Trump is dragging America deeper into a war in Iran with no authorization, no plan, and no exit strategy. Democrats will not go along. thehill.com/policy/defen...

Democrats are fighting to delay this heartless SNAP cost shift and ensure kids can get the food they need to grow, learn, and thrive.
- CS
No kid should go to bed hungry, but because of Trump and Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill, 1.5 MILLION kids have lost access to SNAP in just the past year. Every Democrat voted AGAINST this, but now 1.5 million kids are hungrier thanks to Trump and Republicans. www.cbpp.org/research/foo...

Democrats demanded those laws earlier this year. Republicans refused and instead poured tens of billions of dollars to power Trump’s state-sanctioned violence on a bigger scale. The killings won’t stop until we stop the impunity that Trump and Republicans want to preserve.
- CS
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.
- CS
Bipartisan majorities in Congress passed legislation to end this war that Trump is ignoring. Our service members are in harm’s way. Working families are forking over a fortune for gas and groceries. End this war once and for all.
- CS
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.

The Trump admin must release all information related to these shootings, and we need independent investigations into each. These shootings are not inevitable. They are a policy choice being made by Donald Trump and Senate Republicans.
- CS
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.
