GAS PRICES ARE $4.39 AND CLIMBING I stood at a gas station in Upstate NY with veterans, farmers, and families paying the price every time they fill up. This is Trump country. They don’t want to pay for his reckless Iran war. They’re saying: enough. End the war. Stop the pain at the pump.

That’s bullshit. This is an illegal war and every day Republicans remain complicit and allow it to continue is another day lives are endangered, chaos erupts, and prices increase, all while Americans foot the bill.

Hegseth and Trump call their war with Iran an “astounding victory” 13 American servicemembers have been killed. 400 have been wounded. The Pentagon says it’s spent at least $25 billion. This is not a victory. They need to roll up their sleeves & bring a diplomatic end to this mess.

Inflation rose to 3.5% in March—the highest rate in almost three years, and Trump's making things worse with Iran’s war compounding the increase in prices. People are paying more. All because Donald Trump.

It’s about time. Speaker Johnson just passed the bill that Senate Democrats and Republicans passed unanimously 36 DAYS AGO to pay TSA, FEMA, and CISA employees through the fiscal year. Over a month of unnecessary pain for millions of Americans brought to you by the @houserepublicans.bsky.social.

Gas prices are now an average of $4.23, up FORTY PERCENT since Trump started his costly, reckless war with Iran.

It’s time for House Republicans to pass the unanimous, bipartisan Senate bill to fund DHS (except ICE + Border Patrol) NOW.

Trump can't win the election except by rigging it. He said it himself. And that’s exactly what the right-wing is trying to do, from gerrymandering, to the SAVE Act, to attacks mail-in voting, and more. We will not let them rig the system.

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.

The visit of King Charles III should serve as a reminder to the President of the United States and to every elected official in this country: friends and allies matter.

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.
- CS
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.

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 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.

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.
