Senate Democrats
@democrats
We are the Senate Democrats, and we're working hard for the American people.
It is a disaster. It is a failure. And all we need is the Republicans of this body to say, enough— to hold hearings, investigate, and hold this administration accountable @booker.senate.gov on Trump’s war in Iran
Watch @booker.senate.gov plead with his Republican colleagues to hold ICE accountable.
We're seeing what happens when ICE doesn't have proper training, doesn't have the proper rules of engagement, and aren't wearing body cams. @peters.senate.gov: “Republican senators are just unwilling to step up the way they should.”
This “Republican-controlled congress refuses to do their job, refuses to uphold the constitution. Instead of checks and balances, all they get is bending the knee to Donald Trump.” @booker.senate.gov: “that is outrageous in our nation.”
America is the land of the free. For @peters.senate.gov, it’s personal. His father fought against fascism in World War II. His mother was an immigrant. His story is reflective of what makes America so strong.
Watch @schiff.senate.gov explain how Trump’s ill-thought-out war in Iran is harming American families.
250 years ago, Americans came together to fight for freedom. @smith.senate.gov shares how Minnesota’s state bird, the loon, came to symbolize that continued legacy of American solidarity and resistance against ICE violence and abuse in Minnesota communities during Trump’s Operation Metro Surge.
“All men are created equal.” Ringing in 250 years of America, @coons.senate.gov reflects on these words from the Declaration of Independence and shares the story of his hometown’s role in bringing us closer to that ideal.
The Trump administration is defined by corruption and incompetence. @welch.senate.gov lays it out.
"A fair chance in the race of life." That's how Abraham Lincoln described America's promise. 250 years after America’s birth, @reed.senate.gov says it's still a promise worth fighting for.
“The best dam picture in the Senate.” As we celebrate 250 years of America, @rosen.senate.gov discusses the entrepreneurial spirit, hard work, and resilience that make the Hoover Dam—and this nation—great.
Trump keeps claiming the war in Iran is a “military success” and “will be over very soon.” But we all know this couldn’t be further from the truth. Meanwhile lives are being lost and Americans are paying more for everything from gas to groceries.
Happy 250, America! Next up: @whitehouse.senate.gov shares the story of the HMS Gaspee, a Royal Navy ship that was set ablaze by Rhode Islanders in 1772—an early act of resistance to British rule that helped pave the way for the American Revolution.
Happy 250th, America! This July, Senate Democrats will be sharing their stories and their ideas about what makes our country truly great, illustrating a sharp contrast to what’s coming out of the White House from Donald Trump. First up, Leader @schumer.senate.gov:
Instead of focusing on lowering costs for American families, Donald Trump is focused on enriching himself, his family members, and his cronies. @markey.senate.gov: “That is why people are angry.”
Today’s jobs report shows the economy is slowing. Trump boasting about his wealth just shows how out of touch he is.
Trump is telling us who he is when he says that trying to bring down the cost of housing is unimportant. The American people recognize just how detached he is from their problems Via @schiff.senate.gov
Donald Trump doesn’t care about Americans’ housing costs. Instead of working with Democrats to make life more affordable for Americans, he’s throwing a temper tantrum. @kim.senate.gov
Four years after Dobbs, Senate Republicans are continuing their crusade against women’s health care. Senate Democrats offered three bills to expand access to reproductive care. Senate Republicans BLOCKED every single one.
President Trump doesn’t seem to care about the struggles Americans face. While families grapple with rising housing costs and a higher cost of living, he continues to put himself, his family, and his friends first. @alsobrooks.senate.gov on how Trump is failing the American people:
The bill that Trump refused to sign today would have given a leg up to Americans Ordinary people looking to buy a home cannot compete with billionaires and trillionaires @warnock.senate.gov
Donald Trump is saying very clearly that his voter suppression bill, the SAVE Act, is more important to him than taking care of the housing crisis in our nation. @markey.senate.gov
Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov makes it clear what Donald Trump’s priorities are: He wants to pass a fraudulent elections bill rather than provide important relief to people's pocketbooks in the form of more affordable housing.
Democrats helped pass the biggest US housing package in over 30 years. But Donald Trump refuses to sign it into law and help lower costs. “The cost of housing is up. Donald Trump may not care, but Democrats do.” @warren.senate.gov: “We will get this bill passed.”
Watch @alsobrooks.senate.gov mark the 4th year anniversary of the Supreme Court overturning Roe: “It's a battle to provide our daughters with a world where they enjoy more rights and privileges than we did.”
On the 4-year anniversary since SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade, @klobuchar.senate.gov makes it clear: ““We are never going to give up this fight.”
Four years ago, Republicans and the MAGA Supreme Court ripped away the constitutional right to abortion. Senate Democrats will keep fighting to restore the rights that Republicans took away in all 50 states. Via @murray.senate.gov
What comes after Dobbs? Sen. @murray.senate.gov points to a Republican-backed bill that would establish personhood at fertilization—putting birth control, IVF, and treatment for miscarriages and ectopic pregnancies at risk. WATCH:
A 9% increase in pregnancy-related deaths in states with abortion bans. That’s the reality of a post-Dobbs America. @cortezmasto.senate.gov
