The Supreme Court just turned its back on one of the most sacred promises in American democracy—the promise that every voice counts. My statement on the Supreme Court's decision dealing a devastating blow to the Voting Rights Act:

Americans are working longer hours just to keep up with rent, groceries, and bills. Instead of helping them, Republicans are planning to use $400 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to fund Trump’s gilded ballroom. This is exactly where their priorities lie.

It has been 35 years since a British monarch addressed the elected representatives of the American people—the world has changed dramatically, but in many ways, the same tests remain before us.

The last thing working Americans need right now is another war—let alone one that’s 90 miles south of the U.S. @democrats.senate.gov will advance another War Powers Resolution to give Republicans an opportunity to stop a looming catastrophe in Cuba.

As our nation wages Donald Trump’s reckless war, DHS is still not funded because the President’s own party is in total chaos. Instead, Trump decides to focus on a $400 million, taxpayer funded, gold-plated ballroom. This man’s values are perverse.

THIS WEEK: Senate Democrats will force a SIXTH vote on our War Powers Resolution ending Trump’s war of choice in Iran. As we reach 60 days of a reckless and unpopular war, will Republicans continue to back Trump and dig themselves deeper into this hole?
- CS
Democrats UNANIMOUSLY supported funding the vast majority of DHS, including Secret Service. We passed it in the Senate, not once but twice. It is House Republicans, not Democrats, who are blocking this funding.

Another attack on New York offshore wind by Trump. These projects would have delivered desperately needed cheaper, cleaner energy to our homes and small businesses. All this does is kill good-paying union jobs and send energy prices even higher. Despicable.

Senate Republicans just voted NO on my amendment that said this reconciliation bill should have lowered out-of-pocket health care costs for the American people. $140 Billion for ICE and Border Patrol. $0 to lower your health care costs.

Donald Trump has been offering empty promises to end his war for weeks. At 5 PM, Senate Democrats will offer his Senate Republican puppets a FIFTH chance to do just that with a vote on our War Powers Resolution.

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.

If Kash Patel wants to keep partying, he can do it somewhere else. But first he must resign from the FBI immediately.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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:
