Last year, I forced a vote to block Trump from taking a single cent of taxpayer money to renovate his foreign-gifted luxury jet. Every single Republican voted to let Trump spend taxpayer $ on it. Now, taxpayers will foot a new bill to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars to “max” it out.
Trump’s corruption knows no bounds Truth API is the definition of insider trading: For $100K/month, investors can turn a profit off early access to his market-moving posts, while he rakes in hundreds of millions in fees As usual, he's selling out America to the highest bidder
The foreign-gifted, $400 million jet now being used as Air Force One is one of the most brazen acts of presidential corruption in the history of our country. We must pass my bill, the Presidential Airlift Security Act, to ban Donald Trump from using your money for his national security nightmare.
Trump Steaks Trump University Trump Airlines Trump Coin The Trump Presidency—all cons. The product changes. The con stays the same. You pay, Trump profits.
My statement on Trump’s latest attempt to lay the groundwork to rig the 2026 elections and undermine democracy:
Donald Trump has given up on winning over hearts and minds. Now he’s focused on undermining the upcoming midterm election. That’s what his speech tonight will be about. But in America, voters choose our leaders – not the other way around. And we will fight like hell to preserve that principle.
Todd Blanche doesn’t get to talk about transparency while he’s still withholding 3 million pages of the Epstein files. Where are the files, Mr. Blanche? All of America is waiting.
When you are the personal lawyer for a known pathological liar like Trump, you should NEVER be Attorney General. The crucial question is: are Republicans still going to go to the mat for Blanche after he aided Trump through his corruption?
Trump says he's going to shut down the government unless Republicans pass the SAVE Act to disenfranchise millions of American citizens. Democrats are not going to let that happen. If the government shuts down in November, only one man is to blame: Donald Trump. And he said so himself.
To say that Senators Ossoff and Warnock are "illegitimate" because of election fraud is lunacy and reeks of desperation. And it is so obviously part of Trump’s corrupt effort to subvert the 2026 midterm elections.
Donald Trump is saying the quiet part out loud: He has no issue with shutting the federal government down to force through his voter suppression bill to disenfranchise millions of American citizens.
Donald Trump's so-called “understanding” with Iran fell apart faster than the ink could dry. The House and Senate both voted to remove our forces from harm’s way and end this war now. Trump must comply. Enough is enough. End the war.
I will NOT support a Farm Bill that doesn’t protect SNAP funding. A Farm Bill that abandons hungry families is wholly unacceptable.
New York counties are scrambling for funding to keep SNAP alive after the Big Ugly Bill made the largest program cuts in history. Now, the GOP is pushing a Farm Bill that doesn’t even mention SNAP. I will not support a Farm Bill that abandons hungry families. It's a nonstarter.
Trump signed the Big Beautiful Bill one year ago, bragging about tax cuts. Instead, it sent health care costs soaring for millions, kicked 800,000 kids off SNAP, and shuttered health care clinics across the country. A huge win for billionaires. A massive loss for working families.
$2.2 BILLION for the Trump family. Higher costs for the American people.
One year after the GOP passed the One Big UGLY Bill, the results are in: • 800,000 kids lost SNAP benefits. • 5M lost health coverage. • 1,000+ hospitals, clinics, nursing homes face cuts or closure. • Health care premiums doubled for millions. That's what they're celebrating.
Trump on lowering housing prices: “I don’t want to. It’s a yawn.” In fact, he won’t sign our bipartisan bill to finally bring relief to the housing market until he gets his SAVE Act to rig the midterms and kick millions of American citizens off the voter rolls. America First!
This morning, I stood with leaders of our great Haitian community to demand one thing: EXTEND TPS for our Haitian friends and neighbors. This administration chooses to villainize the Haitian people to pull attention away from their catastrophic failures. We can’t let them get away with it.
It was an honor to march in the NYC Pride Parade! I was the first Senator to march in this parade, and it’s amazing to see the progress we’ve made on LGBTQ+ equality since then. With the Trump admin in the White House, we must protect that progress from those who wish to take us back in time.
Wonder why Trump bailed on signing our housing affordability bill into law this week? Well, this and because he wants to kick millions of American citizens off the voter rolls to rig the November election for himself.
This is why full access to health care matters. Listen to the Co-Director of the Texas-based Maternal Health Equity Collective, Nakeenya Wilson tell her story and illustrate why it’s so important that we do everything we can to protect reproductive rights:
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
