Senate Democrats have been clear: We want to fund the government, avoid a shutdown, and pass strong funding bills. We will keep fighting for a budget that delivers for the American people and thwarts Trump’s corrupt, costly, chaotic agenda that is stretching Americans thin.

Todd Blanche has spent his career enabling Trump's corruption and he has no intention of stopping.

If this were the CEO of a private company, they could face jail time. But for Trump? Just another Monday. He is the most corrupt president in our nation’s history. Democrats will hold him accountable for this and so much more.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is a gift to his Big Oil friends who bankrolled his campaign with the promise of raking in profits. Turns out it's the one promise he actually delivered on. Meanwhile, Americans are paying over $4 per gallon at the gas pump and suffering from rising energy costs.

MY STATEMENT ON THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION: For months, Democrats have been clear: we want to fund the government, avoid a shutdown and pass strong, bipartisan appropriations bills that improve people’s lives.

Trump is making Americans less safe with his war in Iran. Hundreds of servicemembers injured, 18 dead, skyrocketing prices—now cyberattacks on the Homeland. The GOP needs to stand up to this lunacy and work with us to end this dangerous and unnecessary war. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

Trump is torching his own AG nominee so he can preserve his sweetheart tax deal that gives his family a blank check to commit tax fraud. This President is banking billions by abusing his power. Now he’s doing everything possible to make sure he’ll never be held accountable.

Trump wants to spend $2 billion in taxpayer dollars on payoffs for his MAGA followers—all while instituting the biggest health care cuts in history. Give me a break. We will not let it happen.

No. This is a bald faced lie. Trump cut the agency that protects cybersecurity by $700 million and still hasn’t nominated a permanent director for it. Trump is grossly incompetent. He is responsible.

Donald Trump’s rampant corruption and brazen self-dealing at the expense of the American taxpayer must be stopped. Unprecedented corruption calls for unprecedented legislation to fight back—that’s why I introduced the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act yesterday.

Today, Senate Democrats forced our 13TH vote on ending Donald Trump’s illegal Iran war. Senate Republicans, as afraid of Trump as ever, were nowhere to be found. Our troops are in danger, our costs are through the roof, and Donald Trump and Republicans simply do not care.

Trump's war with Iran has been one of the greatest foreign policy dumpster fires in American history, and it seems to be expanding with new attacks now targeting Egypt.

61 years of Medicare and Medicaid, the backbone of our healthcare system for tens of millions of Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans are trying to rip it all away. I will continue to lead Senate Democrats in fighting them every step of the way:

Trump is DOUBLING prescription drug prices for millions of seniors with his cuts to Medicare drug plans. We’re talking about seniors rationing life-saving drugs and skipping meals to afford their medication. It's disgusting. This is Trump’s America.

Our servicemembers are facing down barrage after barrage of Iranian missiles and drones while Trump twiddles his thumbs. Posting lies and brushing casualties under the rug won't stop the missiles from flying or get our troops out of harm's way. Bring our troops home. End the war.

Trump knows he can’t defend the crippling costs, the rampant corruption coming out of his administration, or the unrelenting chaos he’s unleashed in our streets. And he knows he can’t defend himself from Americans’ wrath at the ballot box in November either.

Trump's desperation to avoid accountability at the polls keeps growing He's now begging SCOTUS to block mail-in ballots across 23 states—even though he just voted by mail a few months ago Democrats will make sure every American voter can cast their ballot without interference or intimidation

Instead of standing with Ukraine, Trump has tried and failed to pander to Russia. Today, the Senate will vote to establish significant new sanctions to truly cripple the Russian war effort.

Trump going to Michigan to tout his economic record is like an arsonist returning to the scene of the crime and asking for a pat on the back Maybe he can brag about how Michiganders are paying $4.23/gallon of gas, or the 75K manufacturing jobs he’s killed That’s your record, Donald Trump. Own it.

A new con comes out of the Trump administration almost every day—but the scheme always stays the same: Americans pay, Trump profits. @democrats.senate.gov are unmasking how the Trump admin is swindling Americans, holding their feet to the fire, and fighting for reforms to stop corruption.
- CS
Trump knows the American people are fed up with his failed leadership, so he’s moving to make it harder for them to hold him accountable in November. This is nothing other than voter suppression by another name. The Supreme Court must reject this latest, brazen attempted power grab.

I will block Donald Trump’s push to rename Penn Station for himself. Penn Station needs to be rebuilt, not rebranded. It is a public building, paid for by the taxpayers, and it belongs to the 600,000 people who walk through it every single day. www.fox5ny.com/news/schumer...

Good. This deal should never have been allowed in the first place. But even with this delay, we must keep fighting with our Attorneys General and ensure that this deal, which harms consumers, workers, and freedom of speech, is permanently blocked.

Trump admits he’s ripping the rug out from under hardworking families so he can get revenge on the Americans who didn’t vote for him. It’s sick and deranged. His ego is so fragile, he’ll punish families already struggling to put food on the table for a little bit of vengeance.

I was in Troy on Monday calling on Republicans to keep hungry families fed and work with Democrats to delay the upcoming SNAP cost shift. Food banks alone can’t fill the gap left by Republicans’ SNAP cuts. We must listen to our local food bank leaders: www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

It wasn’t enough for Trump to make taxpayers fund his golden ballroom—now he wants them to fund his palace in the sky too. My Presidential Airlift Security Act will ensure that Americans don't foot the bill to “max out” his luxury jet.

Everyday there’s a new story about how Trump’s corruption is rampant and raises costs for the American people. The gilded ballroom, corrupt slush fund, sweetheart tax break, Truth API, and $1 billion to retrofit Trump’s new Air Force One. His corruption knows no bounds:

Last year, I forced a vote to block Trump from taking a single cent of taxpayer money to renovate his foreign-gifted luxury jet. Every single Republican voted to let Trump spend taxpayer $ on it. Now, taxpayers will foot a new bill to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars to “max” it out.

Pete Hegseth was busy marketing testosterone supplements for troops while withholding casualty numbers from the Iran war from the American people. If he actually cared about our service members, he'd be focused on bringing them home safely—not their testosterone levels.

The foreign-gifted, $400 million jet now being used as Air Force One is one of the most brazen acts of presidential corruption in the history of our country. We must pass my bill, the Presidential Airlift Security Act, to ban Donald Trump from using your money for his national security nightmare.
