It’s been nearly 24 hours since Donald Trump announced an “understanding” with Iran, and we still don’t have any details. Trump must brief Congress and the American people and explain the details of this deal immediately, and put an end this war once and for all.

Americans pay the price when wars, pandemics, & other shocks disrupt our supply chains. That's why I introduced the Make More in America Act to invest in US manufacturing to create jobs, lower costs, strengthen national security, & build a more resilient economy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

As Senate Democrats have been saying for months, we must end this war immediately and permanently. My statement on Trump's Iran Deal:

As a young fan, I remember the glory days of Clyde, Reed, Bradley, DeBusschere, and Earl the Pearl. Now they're back with Brunson, KAT, Bridges, OG, Hart, and a great cast of role players. WOW! All good things come to those who wait.

Trump’s special interest friends went to Trump’s DOJ to bless a merger reeking of political manipulation. This merger, above all, is about diminishing free speech and concentrating the airwaves to one viewpoint: Trump’s. Not to mention it will raise costs and hurt American consumers and workers.

Donald Trump is still hiding at least 3 million pages of the Epstein files. Donald Trump turned the Situation Room into an Epstein crisis communications room. And yet the simplest, most moral solution remains: Release all the files NOW. Give the survivors the justice they deserve.

As we've said all along, the slush fund is ILLEGAL. Donald Trump: Stop it once and for all and start focusing on things people care about, not yourself.

15 hours later, it’s still hard to fathom this really happened. Thank you, OG, for one of the greatest moments in NYC sports history. What a time to be a New Yorker.

Americans are losing their homes Parents are working multiple jobs to feed their kids Workers are walking to work because they can’t afford gas Trump’s response? “The numbers are great… I love the inflation.” Sickening.

NEW: Democrats are demanding Republicans stop refusing to nominate or confirm Democratic board members to agencies required BY LAW to have bipartisan members. Stop breaking the law. Stop undermining our agencies that perform vital services for Americans. www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Trump doubled down on his reckless decision to appoint Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence. At a time when the US is at war and prepping for massive security events like the World Cup & America250, we need a DNI with extensive experience in national security. Pulte has none.
- CS
They lied in April. They lied in May. They're lying in June. Trump's word means nothing. So Democrats will keep forcing votes on our War Powers Resolution to end this reckless war.

Trump really said, “I love the inflation.” On camera. For all of America to hear. His contempt for you knows no bounds.

Another month of Trump’s illegal Iran war, another month of Trump’s tariffs, another month of Republican control of Congress. The result? A new all time high for Trumpflation.

Trump officially nominated Todd Blanche to be Attorney General permanently. “Attorney General” might appear on his business card, but we all know his job description will stay the same: Trump’s fixer, bagman, hired gun. We will fight his confirmation relentlessly.

American soldiers were shot down in Iran as Trump was wasting taxpayer dollars to fall asleep while watching the Knicks. Each day this illegal war drags on further exposes this President's recklessness.

Thanks to Republicans' tax giveaways for billionaires, Social Security has seen the worst drop in its long-term solvency in more than 30 years. Speaker Johnson says the quiet part out loud: Republicans will CUT Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare next year if they remain in control.

Americans don’t want this. And Senate Republicans are wholly responsible for allowing Trump to move forward with this.

Trump promised to end wars back when he was on the campaign trail. Well, yesterday marked 100 days of his illegal Iran war. He lied.

During one of the best moments NYC has enjoyed in decades, Trump makes it all about himself. Trump should LEAVE US ALONE! He’s not wanted here.

ICYMI this weekend: Every Republican Senator except Lisa Murkowski voted to keep Trump’s insurrectionist slush fund. How will they explain that to voters?

100 days of Trump’s illegal war. 8 times Senate Democrats have given Republicans a chance to end this illegal war. How much longer do prices have to rise and families of service members have to wait for Republican Senators to grow a spine?

Today is the 45th anniversary of the discovery of HIV. The Trump Administration’s $1 trillion in cuts is devastating health care and threatening progress to #EndHIV.

Senate Republicans just passed a rotten bill that makes their priorities painfully clear: More money for Donald Trump, more power for Donald Trump, and nothing to lower costs for working families.

We are still fighting back on the Senate floor. Senate Democrats will continue to hold Trump and the Republicans accountable—vote by vote.

50-49—By one vote the GOP chose to keep Trump’s insurrectionist slush fund dream alive After they fumbled around for hours, we needed one more Republican to muster the courage to end Trump’s taxpayer handout to cop beaters & felons As per usual, they were spineless www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

The first amendment I offered in today’s vote-a-rama was to BLOCK Trump's MAGA slush fund forever. With the whole country watching, Republicans chose to support this corrupt slush fund.

Senate Democrats will put Senate Republicans on record and force them to vote on Trump's lifetime tax exemption.

Democrats made sure that today's vote-a-rama happens in broad daylight because Americans deserve to see what the GOP is prioritizing over lowering their costs. We will not let Republicans force their radical reconciliation bill under the cover of night.

This is EXACTLY why @democrats.senate.gov will be forcing a vote this week to outlaw Trump's MAGA slush fund permanently.

As Trump wages war on our elections: @democrats.senate.gov's Election Protection Task Force is gearing up with lawyers and response teams the moment he tries to interfere. The GOP is already ignoring your bills, wages, health care, and freedom—we won’t let them ignore your vote too.

Todd Blanche won’t put anything in writing because he knows that he and Trump are both lying.

The contrast is clear: The GOP is fighting for Trump and his corrupt slush fund, his ballroom, a rogue police force, and his reckless war in Iran. While Democrats are fighting to lower costs for Americans, bring back stability, and pushing against Trump’s corrupt administration.
- CS
Bill Pulte has already proven himself willing to act as a Trump puppet, which is why Trump wants to put him in charge of our nation’s intelligence. The Intelligence Community exists to protect the American people—not to serve as another instrument of presidential retribution.
- CS
The only way to ensure Trump’s $2B MAGA slush fund never sees the light of day is to abolish it by law. We will not trust the word of the corrupt president who stands to benefit the most from it.

Secretary Rubio is testifying right now, and he has a lot to answer for—especially on Trump's war in Iran Democrats are demanding answers on behalf of our troops in harm's way, their families, and the Americans across the country who are paying the cost We must bring an end to this war immediately

Bill Pulte is a partisan thug with no experience in intelligence. He is another unqualified Trump appointee that will make our country less safe. And you won’t hear a word from the Republicans who claim to care about national security.

Trump says he's in “no hurry” to end the war in Iran. No hurry? Tell that to our troops in harm’s way. Tell that to their families. Tell that to the Americans getting crushed by record gas prices at the pump. We will not stop fighting to end this war once and for all.
- CS
All Trump cares about is his golden ballroom, putting his name on a massive arch, slapping his face on $250 dollar bills, and lining his pockets with taxpayer dollars. None of that lowers costs or helps working families.
- CS
Senate Democrats will push legislation to ban Trump's corrupt MAGA slush fund and ensure that no president can ever do this again. We will make sure that it's dead and can't be revived—just like we did with Trump's ballroom.

Pete Hegseth isn’t just making bad decisions about war. Now, he’s blocking promotions of women and minority officers who have been standout leaders and exceptional members of our military. This is noxious, corrosive to building our best military fighting force, and wrong.

If Trump and Republicans are truly abandoning this corrupt scheme, they should have zero problem banning it in law. This week, Senate Democrats will push legislation to ban this slush fund and ensure no president can ever do this again. Trump’s word is nowhere near enough.

Of all Trump’s corrupt schemes, his insurrectionist slush fund is one of the most depraved. This ruling is an important win—but the fight is not over. We’ll keep fighting in the courts & in Congress to make sure this $2B giveaway to cop beaters, criminals & MAGA cronies never sees the light of day.

Republicans want to help Trump steal $2 billion in taxpayer money for his insurrectionist MAGA slush fund. Our brave Capitol Police officers deserve better than to see their assailants rewarded with taxpayer-funded payouts. thehill.com/homenews/adm...
