The cost of inaction on climate change is hundreds of billions of dollars per year, between increased health costs, skyrocketing energy and insurance prices, and supply chain disruptions from extreme weather. Trump may claim climate change is a “hoax,” but the science says otherwise.
- CS
Happy Earth Day! This Earth Day, it’s important that we recommit ourselves to the fight against climate change and for the preservation of our land and water—and against an administration hellbent on undoing all the progress we have made fighting for a healthier environment.

This is what happens when Trump nominates members of his fan club instead of qualified law enforcement professionals.

He's not a serious person. He does not have the skills for the job. He does not have sound judgment to lead the Bureau.

TODAY: We will be forcing a vote on Democrats’ FIFTH war powers resolution to restrain Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran. Democrats will continue to force votes on War Powers Resolutions every week until Republicans decide to put the American people over Donald Trump and end this war.
- CS
We must end Trump’s war immediately. Every day this disastrous war continues, the President digs himself deeper and deeper and deeper into a hole. Everything Trump has done with this war has left our economy, military readiness, and national security in worse shape than before.

Republicans are bending the knee to Donald Trump and Stephen Miller. Democrats are standing with the American people.

Senate GOP wants to shell out billions to an out-of-control ICE force with 0 reforms. Senate Dems want to put that money back in your pocket.

Let’s take a look at the stark contrast between Senate Dems and Senate GOP:

In case you missed it yesterday, the Senate GOP budget proposal can be boiled down to this: $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol; $0 to lower Americans' costs.

The Senate GOP budget: $70 billion for ICE. $0 to lower your costs.

SOON: Republicans will put forth a budget that adds tens of billions of dollars to the national debt, pumps colossal sums into ICE and Border Patrol without reforms, all while doing absolutely nothing to lower costs for hardworking Americans.
- CS
Reminder: It is Republicans who have chosen to keep FEMA, the Coast Guard, TSA, and all other DHS agencies shut down. It is Republicans’ own divisions and inability to govern that has led to the longest shutdown of an agency in American history.

We will continue putting them on the record until the war ends or until enough of them find the courage to vote with us to end this war.

Tomorrow, Senate Democrats will force a fifth vote on our War Powers Resolution. Senate Republicans cannot sit on the sidelines while our servicemembers are risking their lives on the frontlines.

Americans deserve steady, SOBER leadership from their FBI Director. Kash Patel must resign immediately. Every day he remains in office is a national security risk.

Donald Trump is living in an alternate reality and Americans are suffering the consequences.

Donald Trump is angry that his own policies have driven up prices and killed jobs, but instead of owning up to his mistakes he is looking for someone else to blame and causing even more chaos in the economy in the process.

@democrats.senate.gov will keep forcing these votes and putting Republicans on the record – stand with us and end the war, or cave to Trump and continue it.

Privately? Republicans are petrified of Trump’s war. Publicly? Silence. In fact, Republicans just voted AGAINST our War Powers Resolution to end Trump’s Iran war.

Today is Tax Day. Trump promised tax relief. But rising costs from his war in Iran and his price-spiking tariffs have wiped out any extra tax refund Americans will see this year.

HAPPENING NOW: We're forcing a vote on another War Powers Resolution – our fourth since this war began. If Republicans vote no yet again, we will continue to force votes on these resolutions every week until this war ends or Republicans finally find the courage to stand up to Donald Trump.

Where are Senate Republicans? Months into this war, they’ve refused to restrain Trump’s war of choice and have had no hearings.

Donald Trump’s handling of Operation Epic Fury has been an epic failure.

Because Trump’s tax cuts weren’t meant to help working families—they were meant to reward the ultra-wealthy.

The least FIFA can do is ensure New York residents can go to the stadium without being gouged at the turnstile. I am demanding FIFA step up and cover transportation costs for host cities and states. New York commuters and residents should not subsidize an $11 billion windfall.

FIFA is set to reap nearly $11 billion from this summer's World Cup, yet New York area commuters and residents are being handed the bill.

Trump is leading our troops into a literal minefield abroad—and leading American families into an economic minefield here at home. This is NOT “Operation Epic Fury.” Let’s call Trump’s Iran policy what it is: Operation Epic Failure.

The poisons of fascism and antisemitism come from the same vial. The only antidote is to call out and condemn antisemitism whenever and wherever it rears its head.

That responsibility falls on all of us. We must remember how the Holocaust happened—how too many stood silent in the face of evil, and how the death of democracy in Europe enabled the death of six million Jews.

Today, during Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews and countless others who perished in the Holocaust. We renew our solemn pledge: never again.

Donald Trump refuses to accept commonsense, bipartisan reforms to ICE and CBP. Republicans would rather keep DHS shuttered than cross the man who has made cruelty the centerpiece of his agenda.

This week, for the 4th time since this war began, Democrats will force a vote to stop the war in Iran and rein in an out-of-control Trump. For the 4th time, Republicans will have the chance to end this war.

Update on Trump’s Operation Epic Fail: Strait of Hormuz: complete chaos Iranian regime: still standing Gas prices: Highest in years Iran's nuclear ambitions: exactly the same America's international credibility: worse We must end this war immediately before Donald Trump makes things even worse.

...Manhattan Borough President @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social, State Senator @ebottcher.bsky.social, Assembly Member Tony Simone, Allen Roskoff and many more. I will always stand with our LGBTQ+ community against these monstrous attacks on the history of the struggle for equality and on freedom.

Trump’s own agencies are predicting a dangerous wildfire season. His response? Undermine the lead agency tasked with assessing that risk. Why does he hate our country and our public lands so much?

Trump is a military moron. His war, with a price tag of $44 billion and $4+ gas, made us worse off today than we were when he started it. And if he restarts this war we will be in even worse shape. We must pass our War Powers Resolution to end this war for good.
- CS
This is an extremely sick person. Each Republican who refuses to join us in voting against this wanton war of choice owns every consequence of whatever the hell this is.

Dems held the line: fund DHS, not ICE abuses. We passed a bipartisan deal through the Senate unanimously. Twice. Then Mike Johnson flip-flopped and blocked it. I went on @cnn.com to lay out the facts:
