As Trump hunts for a headline and a photo-op with Xi Jinping today, he’s at risk of losing sight of what’s at stake for the American people. Trump needs to stop fawning over foreign strongmen and put his foot down. Standing up for the American people means standing up to Xi Jinping.

Trump banning CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House is an assault on the first amendment, plain and simple. Trump is so fragile, so thin-skinned, and so desperate that he can’t handle a little honest reporting. But there’s no hiding from a record as abysmal as his.

Wish Trump cared this much about national security when he plunged our country into a forever war with Iran.

The Trump administration's refusal to disclose or even recognize the deaths of at least four of our servicemembers is disgusting. @democrats.senate.gov will keep forcing votes on our War Powers Resolutions to finally end this war and bring our troops home.

Only Trump could try to present himself as a peacemaker and then threaten to "annihilate" an entire country in the same breath. A sickening statement from a wannabe Nobel-laureate for peace.

As health care costs skyrocket and millions of Americans go uninsured, what is JD Vance and Donald Trump’s solution? Kick hundreds of thousands more people off their health insurance. Senate Democrats will expand coverage and lower costs for millions of Americans when we take back the majority.

G’mar Chatima Tovah to the Jewish community in New York and around the world! My family and I are wishing everyone observing Yom Kippur an easy, meaningful fast, and we hope you take this time to reflect with friends and family.

Donald Trump just did what dictators throughout history have done. Donald - this is a democracy. You will not be able to manipulate the news or hide the truth.

The Senate GOP even had a chance to support my bill to end Trump’s costly tariff tax—instead they blocked it. Trump and the GOP are doing nothing to lower costs. They couldn't care less.

For the first time in 3 years, the Fed raised interest rates to fight rising inflation thanks to Trump's tariffs and his war in Iran.

Trump keeps trying to downplay the cost of his Iran war but it has cost everyday Americans over $100 BILLION in inflated gas prices. @democrats.senate.gov will keep fighting to pass our War Powers Resolution to bring our troops home, and to lower costs for the American people.

Another chance to enrich yourselves as the economy stagnates and real wages fall? Another chance to pass your failed voter suppression bill? I have a feeling the American people will pass.

Another chance to implement tariffs that have done nothing but hurt American consumers? Another chance to cut SNAP benefits for children? Another chance to turn the DOJ and FCC into your personal attack dogs? Another chance to do nothing about AI regulation?

Another chance to start a new, $100+ billion endless foreign war? Another chance to send diesel costs skyrocketing to all-time highs? Another chance to send gas prices above $4/gal? Another chance to strip health care from millions of Americans?

Trump can put whoever he wants in charge of the Fed, but the same inescapable truth remains: His economy is awful, and it’s getting worse by the day. The Fed hiking rates was the inevitable result of his failures and will raise Americans’ costs in countless ways.

This is disgraceful—@democrats.senate.gov will soon force another vote on our War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s war and get our troops out of harm’s way.

We’re STILL paying the price for Trump’s incompetence seven months into a disastrous war with Iran that he said would only take days. It has cost Americans hundreds of billions of dollars and unnecessarily endangered our troops.

The unchecked danger of catastrophic risks from AI is a serious problem that demands action. The Trump administration must come before the Senate immediately for a classified briefing on these risks and the steps being taken to protect Americans. The American people deserve answers.

Donald Trump: you lost another one. The President’s attempt to screw around with vote by mail was obscene. Finally, his scheme is dead. This was one of the most important cases to protect voting rights before the Supreme Court.

Trump's newest LIE: Somehow, Ukraine is responsible for diesel prices hitting a record high. Americans know it’s Trump and his war with Iran that's driving up costs. No amount of Trump's finger-pointing and lies can erase his disaster of an economy. www.ms.now/news/trump-i...

Even if we did have a high-IQ president right now (and we don't), it wouldn't be enough. We cannot afford to turn a blind eye to AI. The warning signs have never been clearer.

We need a full accounting of their framework for testing AI models. We need clear answers on how we’ll defend against AI-enabled cyberattacks. And we need to know the steps being taken to prevent China from accessing our most advanced AI chips and equipment.

@padilla.senate.gov and I are demanding that DHS immediately shut this initiative down and give Congress answers about what it is doing Trump is willing to go to extreme lengths to interfere in these elections. We will go to every length necessary to protect them.

We will not allow Donald Trump and his cronies to meddle in our elections and escape accountability from voters. A DHS whistleblower has come forward to report illegal, deceptive, and reckless practices that the Trump DHS is undertaking ahead of the midterm elections.

But is anyone surprised? He will sell ANYTHING and sell out ANYONE to make himself and his family richer. This is just the latest example. All of this will be investigated and, if necessary, prosecuted when Democrats retake Congress in November.

Donald Trump is selling pardons in a scheme that amounts to bribery – something he’s very familiar with (see: buying Americans' votes for $5,000).

The Constitution is clear: Trump cannot hijack an election. The Supreme Court must follow it, uphold the rule of law, and put an end to Trump’s unprecedented attempts to make it harder for American citizens to vote.

BREAKING: Late last night, in a major victory for democracy, a Trump-appointed federal judge—who once clerked for Clarence Thomas—blocked Trump’s attempt to eliminate mail-in voting in the case I served as lead plaintiff on.

May we use this High Holiday season to double down on our commitments to combating antisemitism, ensuring the safety and security of our Jewish communities, and rejecting hate in all its forms. And may this year bring joy, strength, peace, and fulfillment. Shana Tova!

I’m grateful to all of them. May the next 25 years see Lower Manhattan, New York City, and all of America reach new heights.

Today, Lower Manhattan is reinvented, alive, dynamic, and flourishing because we got the federal government to direct $20 billion for recovery, and because so many people in government, in their businesses and in their homes refused to let the nihilism and violence and hate of 9/11 be the last word.

$500? A complete slap in the face to hardworking Americans this administration has betrayed time and time again. A mere 1.6% of the cost of a 3-day hospital stay. Truly insulting. If Donald Trump wanted to lower health care costs, he’d sit down with Democrats and restart the ACA tax credits.
