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.
Elections in America belong to voters, not Trump. @democrats.senate.gov are using every tool to fight back against Trump & the GOP’s destructive efforts to tamper with our democracy this November. I asked Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes if he'd ever seen anything like this before:
As Trump gears up to steal the 2026 elections, @democrats.senate.gov Election Protection Task Force is working hard to counter his interference efforts and protect free and fair elections. We won't let Trump discount the votes of the American people.
Linda McMahon and Donald Trump continue to undermine our ability to educate our children and to fight against civil rights violations and hate on college campuses.   From combatting antisemitism to supporting special education, this administration’s policies have been one failure after another.
Exclusive: The Education Department plans to move its special education and civil rights offices out of the agency as part of the Trump administration’s effort to close the department by transferring its functions to other parts of the government.
I just went to the Senate floor to force Republicans on the record. They sided with Trump’s insurrectionist army and his corrupt IRS tax exemption scheme instead of hardworking American families.
NEW: @murray.senate.gov, @warren.senate.gov, & I released a report on Trump’s BROKEN PROMISE to make child care more affordable ⬇️ He's not just refusing to lower child care costs—he’s making it more expensive and taking a wrecking ball to child care programs www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
Trump's demand to tie the SAVE Act to FISA proves, once again, that he has no problem undermining US national security if he thinks it will help him politically. The SAVE Act is a vicious piece of anti-voting rights legislation. It will not pass. www.axios.com/2026/06/14/t...
