Just days after celebrating America’s 250th birthday, with Trump hosting speeches on National Park land, he shows what he really thinks of “America the Beautiful” by massively shrinking the size of two national parks.
- CS
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.

We must not allow this under any circumstances, and today’s action by 12 Attorneys General is a great first step towards preventing it.

Donald Trump fired his Antitrust Chief to push through this merger and create a media ecosystem to say whatever he wants and suffocate independent voices, while raising costs and harming the quality of our television and cinema.

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.

The American people knew it was patently corrupt. Yet Republicans blocked every single Democratic effort to unwind it, choosing Trump’s corrupt deal over the American taxpayer. Democrats will continue to fight against Trump and his family’s blatant corruption by all means possible.

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.

He is gutting the independent agency that certifies voting systems and helps election officials run secure elections. Senate Democrats will fight this power grab at every turn. The American people—not Donald Trump—will decide the 2026 election.
- CS
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.

They let Trump waste nearly $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to retrofit and operate his luxury jet and yet it’s still not secure. When the Senate returns, we must pass the Presidential Airlift Security Act and ensure that not another cent goes toward maintaining Trump’s national security nightmare.
- CS
That’s why I introduced the Presidential Airlift Security Act, which would prohibit the use of any foreign plane to be utilized as Air Force One. Republicans refused to join our effort to block taxpayer funding for the jet.
- CS
A year ago, I warned that this $400 million Qatari jet was not simply the largest, most corrupt foreign bribe to an American president in history – it was also a grave national security risk.
- CS
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.

This is an important win. But we know Trump will do whatever he can to rig the elections and that his attack dog at the DOJ, Todd Blanche, will do his bidding. I will continue to lead Democrats in using every avenue to stop these anti-democratic efforts at every turn.
- CS
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.
- CS
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.

$2.2 BILLION for the Trump family. Higher costs for the American people.

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.

No matter how much President Trump tries to steal citizenship from people that the Constitution has said have earned it and reverse the grand American tradition of welcoming newcomers to our nation, the Supreme Court confirmed today that those born in America are American.
- CS
For 250 years, America has been a nation made stronger by immigrants. The framers of the Fourteenth Amendment wove that value into our Constitution, affirming that those born on American soil are citizens.
- CS
Despite Trump’s best efforts to bully them, the Supreme Court just reaffirmed that if you are born in America, you belong in America.

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!

Pass our legislation to extend TPS. Protect our incredible Haitian community.
- CS
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.

As the midterm elections approach, Trump and his allies are working overtime to silence Americans’ votes. Senate Democrats will continue to do everything we can to protect free and fair elections, where everyone’s voice is heard.

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.

Trump’s vendetta against mail-in voting, which is safe and secure, is about picking who can vote and avoiding accountability. Democrats will continue fighting every day to block all of Trump’s illegal actions and ensure that Americans can freely cast their ballots this year.

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.

I have introduced legislation to extend TPS for Haitians, and will keep fighting to protect Haitian and Syrian families from being forced back into danger. America should not turn its back on people who came here seeking safety.
- CS
TPS exists for exactly this reason: to protect people when returning home is unsafe. Haiti and Syria remain unsafe today. Instead of showing basic humanity, Donald Trump and this Court have chosen fear, chaos, and cruelty.
