In their rush to meet arrest quotas ICE cut corners and hired officers without basic vetting leading to the abuses and deaths we’ve seen on our streets.

In its latest attempt to destroy the integrity of our elections, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow mail-in ballot limits. American voters will pick their leaders—not Donald Trump. My statement:

Rather than making life more affordable, Trump has led a full-fledged assault on American education: defunding it, radicalizing its agenda, and dismantling it. Instead of attacking our schools he should be building them up. We'll keep fighting to ensure every child has access to a good education.

These reports are troubling and I am demanding that CENTCOM immediately open a fact-finding investigation. Secretary Hegseth needs to understand that these types of internal checks reflect our values and make the DOD stronger.

I’m heartbroken to hear of the passing of my friend Gloria Steinem. I was fortunate to know her well over the years. Through decades of advocacy, she never stopped fighting for a better, more equal society. My heart is with her loved ones and everyone she inspired.

Health care costs are expected to skyrocket by 8.2% in 2027. That’s the highest increase for employers in TWO DECADES. Under Donald Trump and Republicans, the cost of living keeps climbing higher and higher, with no relief in sight.

As Trump doubles down on his trade war: inflation is raging, families are struggling, small businesses are closing. @democrats.senate.gov have fought Trump's tariffs at every turn, and we will fight to pass the End Trump Tariff Act to finally free Americans from his tariff tax.
- CS
In just one year, Trump’s tariff tax has cost the average family nearly $2,000. That's why I'm introducing the End Trump’s Tariff Tax Act that would end the pain of Trump's costly tariffs—including his latest tariffs on Canada.

NEWS: I'm introducing the End Trump’s Tariff Tax Act. This bill would revoke and refund Trump’s latest barrage of tariffs, and repeal the authorities he's used to continue his senseless trade war. www.ms.now/news/schumer...

The MAGA Supreme Court is rubberstamping Trump’s corrupt, gilded ballroom. Families’ costs are soaring, and Trump’s priorities are clear: his ballroom over your bills. Democrats are fighting to cut costs. Trump is fighting for himself.

🚨Military leaders are sounding the alarm, warning Pete Hegseth about the long-term damage of extending Trump’s reckless war in Iran. Stop putting Americans at risk. End the war now.

Month after month, lie after lie. The truth? This is another endless Middle East war brought to you by Donald Trump. We must end this war now.

6 months in, Trump’s disastrous war in Iran has accomplished nothing but the depletion of American stockpiles and the weakening of our military standing. That’s what I call an abject failure.

While the Trump administration spews blatant lies about their failure in Iran, the reality is that 6 months in, the Iranians are holding the Strait hostage, gas is up to record highs, and 18 servicemembers have died – all while Trump still has no strategy to end the disaster of a war he started.
- CS
It’s been 6 months since Trump initiated a war with Iran that has put American servicemembers at risk, caused gas prices to skyrocket and created global instability.

A federal judge just blocked Trump from implementing his dangerous executive order designed to disrupt voting by mail and throw this year’s election into chaos. We will continue to fight this in court for as long as it takes to ensure that every American can vote freely and fairly.

Inflation increasing. The Iran war raging on with no end in sight. A trade war with Canada. And what does Trump want? To rename Lake Ontario. Donald Trump’s personal grievances first, Americans last.

It’s a disgrace that the highest court in the nation is allowing Trump to put a dagger into the heart of our democracy. Trump’s effort to turn the Postal Service into a voter suppression machine is blatantly unconstitutional – yet his MAGA Supreme Court is refusing to stop it from going forward.

Trump’s chaotic trade wars are bleeding the American people dry, and now he’s coming back for more. Trump just slapped another bill on hardworking American families — who are already crushed by his skyrocketing costs. This nonsense with Canada should have never gone into effect. It must end now.

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. bragged about their gutting of the federal government – including the FDA. It's their entire philosophy. The result? DEADLY BLUEBERRIES, the most recent in a string of food recalls that are endangering the health of millions of Americans.

While Americans struggle to make ends meet, Trump has already added more than $2 billion to his own pocket. He’s not draining the swamp, he is the swamp. It’s corruption at the highest level.

Trump’s memorandum of misunderstanding with Iran has been an utter failure and complete flop that has delivered no progress towards his stated goals – but has hammered Americans with gas skyrocketing above $4 per gallon.

As inflation continues to spiral out of control and gas prices remain well above $4, this is how Donald Trump is spending your taxpayer dollars. $900 million for a gilded ballroom at the White House. $0 to lower your costs. The Trump White House in a nutshell.

Donald Trump got us into an illegal war, is losing his illegal war, and has no way out of his illegal war. His lack of strategy, discipline, and any ability to seriously negotiate is endangering our troops and raising prices for everyday Americans.
