Ask the 70 million Americans who rely on Social Security what they think of it, and they’ll tell you it’s vital lifeline. Ask Elon Musk what he thinks of it, and he’ll tell you it’s a Ponzi Scheme—a fraud.
Congress has a constitutional role to play in strengthening our economy and protecting our national security from President Trump’s policies. My Democratic colleagues and I continue to work to fulfill that role, and I hope that soon, enough senators on both sides of the aisle will do so.
Time and again tonight, Senate Republicans were given the opportunity to take a stand against these disastrous tariffs and in favor of protecting Social Security. Time and again they refused.
Trump’s tariff policies have unleashed a national economic crisis, and tonight we saw Senate Republicans’ solution: slashing Social Security and Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for billionaires.
I'm about to speak on the Senate floor about this disastrous GOP budget resolution and the Trump-Musk plan to slash Social Security.
Tune in here ➡️ www.senate.gov/legislative/...
I agree with @repdonbacon.bsky.social. If we let Putin redraw borders by force, we show China and Iran they can do the same, and food and energy prices will skyrocket. Standing with Ukraine is standing for America's interests. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/o...
Discussing classified information on unsecured channels puts our security and our servicemembers at risk. That’s why I joined my fellow Senate Democrats in calling on AG Bondi to appoint an independent special counsel to investigate the Trump admin's security breach. thehill.com/homenews/sen...
Democrats are clear: we can focus on the Trump administration’s security failures and still hold them accountable for trying to cut Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
The Supreme Court has unanimously held that government officials can't punish private organizations they dislike for speech they disagree with. Trump's attacks on law firms are unconstitutional, and our nations' biggest law firms shouldn't bend to a bully.

I'm glad that the Pentagon's independent inspector general is investigating this, but it's clear this administration's use of Signal to discuss sensitive information goes far beyond @DeptofDefense. That's why I've called on multiple IG's to start similar investigations as well.
Social Security isn't a giveaway—you've earned it, just like your parents and grandparents. I'll keep defending Social Security so you get the benefits you’re owed.
When you take away funds from the nation's largest provider of STI testing, safe abortion care, and reproductive health care, you're not protecting women and girls. You're putting their lives at risk. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
Choosing between protecting Social Security for older Americans or cutting it like Elon Musk and Mike Johnson want to do to pay for tax breaks for billionaires isn’t an economic choice. It’s a moral choice.
Today isn't Liberation Day. It's Tax Day. And American families and small businesses will have to pay every penny of it.
“Please cancel the contracts [even though] our improper payments will go up, and fraudsters may compromise identities…”
This is damning. DOGE isn’t finding or eliminating waste and fraud at the Social Security Administration.
They’re creating it. www.huffpost.com/entry/janet-...
Just because you have access to classified information, that absolutely doesn’t mean your family does. Bringing your spouse to sensitive intelligence meetings is NOT normal.
The experts who make sure our drugs are safe, review clinical trials, and track diseases and pandemics were shown the door yesterday by Trump’s unqualified HHS Secretary. This puts the health of every American in greater danger. apnews.com/article/heal...
Reckless. Stupid. Hypocritical. If China and Russia haven’t already hacked this private email server, America should count itself lucky.
My friend @booker.senate.gov is a man of deep faith. So when he spoke on the floor for more than 25 hours today, the least I could do is give him some words of Scripture to help inspire him.
