You can sum up both the Dobbs decision and the entire far-right philosophy the same way: Less freedom in your life, and more government interference in your personal decisions. That’s the MAGA way.
Today marks a grim four years since the devastating Dobbs ruling Women have faced chaos, uncertainty, and fear when it comes to their reproductive freedom and health care for four long years We must restore the right to abortion, and I won't stop fighting until we do
In Trump’s post-Roe America: —20+ states have total or near-total abortion bans —Women have to travel hundreds of miles to get care they need —Patients & doctors punished like criminals for lifesaving treatment Republicans can’t hide from the pain they've inflicted on women
FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY: With their dreadful Dobbs decision, six far-right Justices broke nearly 50 years of precedent to rip away the right to choose from millions of women. It will go down as one of the most damaging, deeply out-of-touch Supreme Court decisions in our history.
Ever since the awful Dobbs decision, the GOP has not stopped working to restrict access to abortion care. I'm with @murray.senate.gov hearing from people who've been forced to live with the consequences of this assault on their reproductive freedom, discussing how we're fighting back.
For more than 100 days, Congress – and the American people – have demanded transparency, answers, and an end to the fighting. Every second this war continues, the cost to the American people goes higher and higher.
Trump promised ‘maximum pressure’ on Iran. What he delivered through this reckless war was maximum confusion, maximum chaos, and maximum cost to the American people.
The message from the only branch of government with the power to declare war is unmistakable: the Trump administration must withdraw U.S. forces from hostilities in Iran. The pressure on Republicans mounts.
Today, Congress stood up to Donald Trump and voted to end his costly, unnecessary, and devastating war with Iran. Let me be clear: for the first time, this resolution has passed both chambers of Congress and does not require the President’s signature.
Breaking News: The Senate instructed President Trump to end the war in Iran or seek congressional approval, a major bipartisan rebuke.
Trump and Republicans enacted massive Medicaid cuts and refused to extend ACA premium tax credits. The result? 5 MILLION Americans have lost Medicaid and ACA coverage. Each one a real person forced to choose between health care and paying the bills.
A headline from NBC News reads: Medicaid and ACA enrollment falls by more than 5 million, new report finds
Free and fair elections in America got a big boost in court yesterday. Letting Trump scrape through Americans’ private data to purge them from the voter rolls is ILLEGAL. Democrats will keep blocking Trump's anti-democracy SAVE Act, and we won't let him rig the rules in November.
A headline from NPR reads: A federal judge finds a Trump data system to verify voters is unlawful
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
