If Trump wants $200 billion, it means he believes we may be at war for a very, very long time. That’s the last thing Americans want.

In a few minutes Democrats will be giving Republicans a FIFTH chance to pay TSA workers. Will they finally fund TSA or once again object?

Trump promised to cut people's electricity bills in half by the end of his first year in office. Instead, they've risen by almost triple the rate of inflation.

Donald Trump says he’s hoping China will help us clear the Strait of Hormuz. Are you kidding me? Donald Trump created a mess in the Middle East, and he clearly has no plan for how to end it.

Not a single Senate Democrat will support the SAVE Act. Not this week. Not next week. Not ever. We will oppose it on the floor as long as it takes.

Trump and Republicans think rising gas prices are “a small price to pay”—they should try to tell that to Americans who must now choose between filling their tank and putting food on the table.

Donald Trump is Putin’s puppet. Always has been, always will be.

Democrats are ready to fund TSA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund CISA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund FEMA. And Coast Guard. Republicans are blocking it.

I just chased Leader Thune off the Senate floor. The Senate GOP can't win this argument. Fund TSA now.

Today's ruling makes it unequivocally clear: the Trump administration must continue to fund the Gateway Tunnel Project. I have spent years fighting for this project, and we will not stop until every committed federal dollar reaches Gateway and workers can count on staying on the job for good.

Let me say it again: The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of American citizens. Not non-citizens, not undocumented immigrants - AMERICAN CITIZENS. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances. No amount of whining from Elon Musk will change that.

Democrats have offered legislation to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA while we continue ICE negotiations. Republicans BLOCKED the funding. We must fund TSA, Coast Guard and FEMA TODAY.

Americans don't want war. Not Republican voters, not Democratic voters, not independent voters, not Donald Trump's MAGA base.

Secretary Rubio, Secretary Hegseth, and other senior officials must go under oath in public hearings with the Senate immediately to answer these questions. The American people deserve answers. This is why @shaheen.senate.gov, @reed.senate.gov, and I are demanding they finally testify:

The buck stops with the President, this is his war of choice.

Trump has not only failed to bring down prices, he’s actively making it worse. Inflation was up again in February—and that’s before Trump’s reckless war that will only drive prices even higher.
- CS
Donald Trump lied. No other leader in the Administration—not even Pete Hegseth—is claiming Iranian tomahawk missiles were responsible for the bombing that killed 170 people at an Iranian all-girls’ school. There needs to be a full, INDEPENDENT, and transparent investigation.
- CS
Donald Trump is risking the lives of our troops, the safety of the American people, the stability of the world economy, and blowing a billion dollars a day based on whims, feelings, and contradictions. His incompetency is dangerous and destructive.
- CS
Trump said that the war in Iran was “complete,” but Hegseth said today will be the most intense day of strikes yet. How is it possible that Trump and his cronies can’t make it 12 hours without contradicting themselves about this war?
- CS
Donald Trump is preparing to hold our government hostage unless we help him undermine our right to vote, our elections, our democracy. This is what he does. He's a thug and a bully. Democrats will not support passage of the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

Donald Trump's war has sent gas prices skyrocketing through the roof. “If they rise, they rise,” is all he has to say. Tough luck, America. What contempt. What cluelessness.

Gas prices are surging all because of Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice in Iran. More broken promises, and the Trump administration doesn’t even pretend to care.

The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people. If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

Due to Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice, gas prices have surged to their highest levels in years. His response? “If they rise, they rise.” He couldn’t care less. Today, I demanded Trump release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve IMMEDIATELY to bring relief to Americans at the pump.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.
- CS
Kristi Noem has been fired. Good riddance. But the problems at DHS go much deeper than any one person. The President must rein in ICE and end the violence.

If Trump doesn’t want gas prices to go up, he shouldn’t have started the war in Iran. This is yet another sign that this administration seems allergic to having a plan and thinking about the consequences of their actions. Shame on the Senate GOP for not standing up to Trump and his reckless war.

The people who deserve a refund from Trump's trade war are American households and small businesses, not large corporations. Corporations should pass savings of any tariff refunds to American consumers.

I’m proud to lead @democrats.senate.gov in introducing the Family Grocery and Farmer Relief Act. Our bill will break the monopoly power that has played a sinister role in raising prices of beef and groceries for Americans.

10 years later, the so-called “Peace President” and his administration seem to think wars should be fought forever…

The Senate is about to vote on our War Powers Resolution. If just 5 Republican Senators won’t vote with Democrats to stop Donald Trump’s military madness, they alone will own the consequences of this reckless war.

Last night’s elections proved one thing: People are fed up with Donald Trump and congressional Republicans. Democrats are going to do what Donald Trump refuses to do—fight the affordability crisis every day, all year long.

Here in the Senate, we have a chance to say no more to Donald Trump's military insanity. Today the Senate will vote on a bipartisan war powers resolution led by me, @kaine.senate.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and Senator Rand Paul to put a STOP to military activity in Iran. We must act.

I sat yesterday with my Senate colleagues for an all-senators briefing, and here’s how much clarity we got out of that briefing: Zero.

The Senate is moving long-overdue housing legislation: The 21st Century Road to Housing Act. Democrats know this is only the first step. We have much more work to do, and we will keep fighting to lower housing costs for working Americans.
- CS
The American people want and need help affording everyday cost of living. Instead, Donald Trump has plunged us into another endless war costing billions of taxpayer dollars and American lives.

We grieve the deaths of six U.S. Servicemembers who were killed in action this weekend. Their families are in our hearts. We pray for all American families who have loved ones serving. And we pray for everyone across the Middle East who are now in harm's way.

10 minutes of training on Constitutional guardrails is not enough for agents enforcing the law. This is why we need real reforms for ICE.

The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal tariffs that took over $130 BILLION from small businesses and families. That's why I'm demanding that the Trump administration begin processing refunds automatically—no delays or conditions. That money belongs to the American people.

Looks like my threat of a GAO audit got their attention. Now they better close the offshore accounts and make way for oversight. Also, where’s JD Vance’s corruption task force?

Senate Democrats will review the unredacted Epstein files in the coming days. The whole world is going to know exactly what Pam Bondi knew, when she knew it, and what she did to cover it up. The survivors deserve the truth, and the American people are demanding it.

Thanks to Donald Trump and Republican’s Big Ugly Bill, the Medicare trust fund will run out 12 years sooner than before. In other words, Trump has accelerated Medicare's demise by more than a decade with one single bill.

Ground beef is up 11%. Coffee is up 14%. Rent is up. And thanks to Trump's tariffs, American families are spending over $1,700 more this year—that is a heck of a lot of money when folks are struggling to pay bills. Trump has no plan to fix any of this and is only making it worse.
