Hate must be intolerable and confronted. It is more important than ever that we renew our vow to forcefully confront antisemitism wherever it is found.
- CS
This year, Jewish American Heritage Month comes at a time when antisemitism continues to rise and we must grapple with deadly attacks against Jewish Americans, from DC to CO to MI.
- CS
Every year, we take this time to celebrate the immense contributions of Jewish Americans to the fabric of American society and reflect on the rich history of Jewish Americans across every walk of life in our country.
- CS
This month, we celebrate and recognize Jewish American Heritage Month.

Instead of lowering costs and helping the American people, Republicans are too busy bowing down to Trump.

Trump in 2021: To the J6 insurrectionists who attacked police, you will pay. Trump in 2026: To the J6 insurrectionists who attacked police, American taxpayers will pay you.

Americans are getting absolutely crushed by surging costs as we head into Memorial Day Weekend. Compared to last year: Hot dogs are up 12% Buns are up 20% Ketchup is up 14% Watermelon is up 17% Lettuce is up 19% Tomatoes are up 22% Gas? Up 42% from this time last year thanks to Trump’s Iran war

Trump’s nearly $2B MAGA slush fund is the most blatant act of corruption in US history. I will offer an amendment during vote-a-rama will be to block this slush fund. Trump doesn’t have to pay taxes, but he’s more than happy to give your tax dollars to his cronies, criminals, and insurrectionists.
- CS
No matter what’s in their bill, Democrats will force Republicans to vote again and again on their ridiculous priorities: Trump’s billion-dollar ballroom, insurrectionist slush fund, and reckless war Every vote will show that Democrats are standing up for America, while the GOP sells out to Trump

Where the hell is the Republican bill?

Republicans are helping Trump STEAL from the American people to fund his ballroom and his MAGA slush fund. Democrats will offer amendment after amendment to lower costs on everything from health care to groceries to gasoline. The contrast could not be clearer.

Democrats are going to force Senate Republicans to vote on amendment after amendment about Trump’s ballroom, about Trump’s corrupt slush fund, and the rising costs of Trump’s war. They will not be able to hide.

Trump’s DOJ granted him and his family immunity from tax audits, giving his family a license to commit tax fraud. Trump doesn’t have to pay his taxes. Meanwhile he’s using American tax dollars to line the pockets of his family and his far-right cronies.

While Democrats are fighting to lower costs, Republicans are fighting like hell to spend billions in taxpayer dollars on Trump's ballroom.
- CS
Trump says his billion-dollar, gold-plated ballroom is “a gift to the United States of America.” Let’s call it what it is: an insult to every American struggling to make ends meet.

Who’s having the worst week? Senate Republicans or Donald Trump? Hard to say when it’s only Wednesday and they’re all in a downward spiral where every day feels like a new rock bottom.

This Congress needs to come together to combat hate and to pass commonsense gun reforms to prevent violent individuals from acting on that hate with such deadly efficiency.
- CS
We must condemn islamophobia and all forms of hate in the loudest of terms. No one – no one – in America should have to live in fear of hate crimes or gun violence, but so many of us do – in our places of worship, in our streets, in the grocery aisle, in our schools.

One of the victims was a security guard and father of eight – Amin Abdullah – who was killed while preventing the gunmen from entering the building. His heroic actions surely saved many lives, and we will always owe him and his family a debt of gratitude.

We are praying for the families of the victims of yesterday’s heinous mass shooting which killed three people at the Islamic Center of San Diego – the city’s largest mosque.

For the EIGHTH time, we will be bringing our War Powers Resolution to the floor to end Trump’s war with Iran. Republicans have a choice to stop catering to Trump and end this deeply unpopular war. They must vote yes.
- CS
Democrats are fighting to lower costs. Republicans are fighting to launder Trump’s corruption through the federal budget. That’s the difference.
- CS
Nearly 2 BILLION dollars for his MAGA slush fund, a billion more for his gilded ballroom, and NOT ONE serious plan to lower costs for the families forced to pay the bill.

Donald Trump thinks the federal government is his personal slush fund.

Trump’s war has cost the American taxpayer AT LEAST $29 billion. The war in Iran has cost Americans financially, causing inflation to spiral out of control, gas prices to skyrocket, and grocery costs to climb.

Trump’s moving forward with his plan to sell AI chips to Chinese companies linked to the Chinese military. Giving China access to this premier US technology is dangerous and threatens our lead in the AI race that will shape the global economy for decades.
- CS
Trump must not sell out Taiwan, period.

The Trump administration has put working Americans in an untenable economic situation. If Ballroom Republicans won’t think about the suffering of the American people, then they better start thinking long and hard about their own political futures.

It was an incredible honor to meet with the crew of Artemis II today. This team is the best of America and an inspiration to billions around the globe. And for once, Senator Mark Kelly wasn’t the only astronaut in the room!

Americans are paying over $4.50/gallon for gas because Trump refuses to end this war. If Republicans care at all about lowering costs and defending our troops, they will support Democrats’ War Powers Resolution to end this war with Iran.
- CS
“Uncertainty.” “Stress.” “Dread.” These are the words Americans used to describe the economy right now. All because of Donald Trump’s costly tariffs, disastrous war with Iran, and failed economic agenda.

Each month Trump’s war drags on, the pain increases for American families. Republicans must vote with us this week to end the war and bring down these Trump-induced, skyrocketing costs.

If Republicans vote against our War Powers resolution, they will continue to bear the blame for Trump’s war

Trump dragged America into an illegal, costly war without any goals or endgame and has the nerve to call it a “mini-war” The best way to lower costs and end the chaos is to end this war Democrats are forcing a 7th vote on our War Powers Resolution to withdraw U.S. troops from hostilities with Iran

Americans don’t want this ballroom blitz—they want this Congress to bring down costs.

The Trump admin sells out ranchers, again. Foreign meatpackers thrive; American consumers and ranchers suffer. You want to lower costs? Break the beef monopoly, rein in foreign corporations, and restore competition. I’ve got a bill to do just that. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Donald Trump had another meltdown about me yesterday. Why? His war is failing. His tariffs have led to skyrocketing prices. His poll numbers are plummeting. We will not let him intimidate voters at the polls in November. His incoherent rants do not phase us.

Senate Democrats will fight the Ballroom Republicans and their out-of-touch reconciliation bill that funds Trump’s vanity projects with taxpayer money while neglecting rising health care costs and gas prices faced by millions of Americans. We will use every tool available.

As you head to the store to buy those bouquets, Donald Trump has jacked up the price by over 16% with his tariffs on imported flowers — causing consumers to spend an additional $441 million. Just another way Trump is making the simple, joyful things in life that much more complicated.

I am so grateful to be able to celebrate with my mom, Selma, who is less than a month away from her 98th birthday, and my wife, Iris, and my two daughters, Jessica and Alison, all great moms themselves.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible moms in New York and across America!

Gas is almost $5. Trump’s Big Oil donors are making $30 MILLION PER HOUR. And they’re laughing in our faces all the way to the bank. Just another reason we must immediately end this war.

The Big Beef monopoly is crushing Americans. The DOJ heeding my call to investigate the meatpacking industry is a good first step, but results are urgently needed to lower costs. We must go further and pass my bill that would break up the beef monopoly once and for all.
