NEWS: Democrats will force a vote on a House-passed Iran War Powers Resolution to end the war. This will be our TENTH War Powers vote to put Republicans on the record and end this costly war once and for all. We will put Senate Republicans on record again and again.
I OPPOSE the Save Our Bacon Act and any attempt to jam it into the Farm Bill. This bill would gut state food safety and animal welfare laws, wipe out voter-approved protections, and strip states like NY of the right to set basic standards. It is a giveaway to Big Ag and meat monopolies.
Trump is proudly holding American national security hostage by demanding to attach the SAVE Act to FISA. The SAVE Act is the worst anti-voting rights legislation he’s ever dreamed up. And he's threatening our national security just to disenfranchise millions of Americans.
As Trump fixates on his vanity projects, @democrats.senate.gov are advancing our housing bill to address issues Americans actually care about. Our ROAD to Housing bill is a strong start to putting us on the right track to fixing the housing shortage that's driving up costs in our country.
The Senate is poised to pass a major bipartisan housing bill with a goal of helping bring down housing prices for Americans by stopping Wall Street investors from buying up single-family homes, among other things.
A perfect picture of Trump's presidency: Americans are losing their homes, cutting back at the grocery store, and drowning in bills, while Trump's top priority is cleaning up the Reflecting Pool. America needs a president, not a pool boy.
NEWS: We got a big win in court today for free and fair elections, blocking Trump’s efforts to set up a massive voter purge database. I called this out months ago as one of Trump’s most sinister strategies for subverting our elections. That’s why we have repeatedly blocked the wretched SAVE Act.
BREAKING: We just won a court order blocking the Trump-Vance admin’s attempt to haphazardly consolidate Americans’ sensitive data into a massive government database. This protects millions from baseless investigations and unlawful voter roll purges – a critical win for voting rights.
It's Juneteenth, the day the last enslaved people in our country learned they were free I was proud to lead the Senate in passing a bill to make Juneteenth a federal holiday Today and every day, we reflect on the horrors of our country's past, and we won’t stop fighting for equality for all
Trump is claiming there is no $300 Billion Dollar payment to Iran by the U.S… These are his handwritten initials. He should read his own memo of understanding.
A page from Trump's memo of understanding with Iran shows Donald Trump's signature under text that reads: 6. The United States of America undertakes, with regional partners, to develop a definitive mutually agreed plan with at least USD 300 Billion, for the reconstruction and economic development of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The mechanism for the implementation of this plan will be finalized as part of final Deal within 60 days. All required licenses, waivers and permissions needed for the relevant financial transactions will be granted by the United States of America.
Senate Democrats have been working tirelessly to address the housing affordability crisis in our country. The ROAD to Housing bill is a CRUCIAL first step towards building more housing to lower costs and ensuring Americans don’t have to break the bank to keep a roof over their head.
The U.S. is worse off because of Trump’s incompetence, his ego, and his inability to listen to facts. If Trump wants to send hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran, he’ll need to do with Republican votes. Democrats will not be helping Trump send $300 billion to Iran.
In Iran, the Art of the Deal turned into the art of disaster. The American people are paying the price for Trump’s incompetence: 13 Americans killed, hundreds wounded, higher gas prices, and the cost of everything from groceries to basic necessities are higher than ever.
Trump has now spent $2.6 billion in tax-payer money to kill offshore wind projects. These projects represented thousands of good union jobs, billions in economic development, and millions of homes worth of desperately needed electricity.
Donald Trump attacked child care funding and sent child care costs skyrocketing through the roof. When Democrats retake the majority, we will be ready on day one to take on the child care crisis and advance real solutions that help families access and afford the care they need for their children.
Three days later and there’s still massive confusion about Trump's "understanding" with Iran. This is foreign policy by clown car. Trump must brief Congress, release the official text of the “understanding”, disclose any secret side deals to the public immediately, and end this war now.
THE US SENATE UNANIMOUSLY AGREES – KNICKS IN 5! By unanimous consent, I just passed a Senate Resolution congratulating the Knicks on their championship to immortalize this historic team in the halls of Congress.
Trump is taking our national security hostage. All the consequences that come from undercutting our national security will fall on Trump and any Republicans who go along with his dangerous, partisan games.
The housing shortage is raising costs for renters and homebuyers and is nothing less than an existential threat to the American dream. That's why the ROAD to Housing bill is an important first step toward lowering housing costs by putting in place critical new reforms to build more housing.
