Donald Trump and his @SenateGOP enablers did this to the American people.
And they’ve voted 14 times, including TODAY, to keep it that way.

Trump promised his war would last “4-5 weeks.” We’re now on MONTH 7
Senate Democrats are forcing another vote to end Trump’s war in Iran—one of the biggest foreign policy catastrophes in our history
Americans are getting crushed by the costs. We’ve lost at least 19 service members, with hundreds wounded and tens of thousands still in harm’s way

While American families are forced to pay skyrocketing energy bills, Trump and Big Oil make BILLIONS.
Senate Democrats will continue to lead the fight against Trump’s corruption and ensure that he cannot rob the American people blind.

If you’re a foreign authoritarian, Trump won’t just invite you to visit America, he’ll roll out the red carpet for you…

You can tell Trump’s desperate, repressive media ban is flagrantly unconstitutional when it gets blocked by a judge he appointed.
No president should use censorship to escape accountability, deprive Americans of the truth, and take our country down the path to authoritarianism.

As Trump hunts for a headline & a photo-op with Xi Jinping today, he’s at risk of losing sight of what’s at stake for the American people
Trump needs to stop fawning over foreign strongmen and put his foot down
Standing up for the American people means standing up to Xi Jinping

America's farmers are getting crushed from all sides by the Trump admin.
Trump’s blunder in Iran jacked up the price of fertilizer and diesel, and his tariffs have raised the cost of farm equipment and closed off markets for our farmers.
That's why @SenAmyKlobuchar and I are introducing the Strategic Fertilizer Reserve Act that directs USDA to explore creating a strategic fertilizer reserve to ensure farmers have access to the resources they need to feed America.

Trump banning CNN, MS Now, and Politico from the White House is an assault on the first amendment, plain and simple.
Trump is so fragile, so thin-skinned, and so desperate that he can’t handle a little honest reporting.
But there’s no hiding from a record as abysmal as his.

Wish Trump cared this much about national security when he plunged our country into a forever war with Iran.

Today, I pay tribute to a dear friend and juggernaut for labor who began a well-deserved retirement—AFSCME President Lee Saunders.
For nearly 50 years, Lee was on the front lines for every labor issue imaginable: equal pay, better benefits, safer working conditions, & more.
AFSCME couldn’t have elected a better president to stand up for their rights, and I’m proud to have had the privilege of standing shoulder to shoulder with him on so many issues.

This shooting is a direct result of Trump ordering ICE agents to continue deadly traffic stops.
ICE must provide a full accounting of what happened, why deadly force was used, and why despite billions in funding agents are still roaming around without cameras and accountability.
ICE’s rampant abuses on our streets must stop now. We must rein in this rogue agency—and a Senate Democratic majority will do just that.
Exclusive: The ICE officer who shot a Venezuelan man in Austin was hired last year and was not wearing his body camera, @NickMiroff reports. theatlantic.com/politics/202…

You mean we’ve spent the last two years trying to protect the American people.
From being kicked off their health care
From paying hundreds more on gas
From losing loved ones in an illegal war
From being shot in the street by ICE
That’s your agenda.
Republicans have spent the last two years delivering on our agenda.
More money in your pocket. Safer streets. More opportunities to get ahead.
Democrats have spent much of the last two years opposing our goals at every turn.
Community note
The 119th congress was the least productive in history - No congress has enacted less legislation or laws. Johnson has cancelled a total 63 scheduled voting days in the house, granting members an extra 2 months PTO, with no house votes scheduled until after the election.

We've heard nothing but crickets over a week after I called for a classified Senate briefing on AI risks, including cybersecurity and stopping the flow of AI chips and manufacturing equipment to China.
Maybe Trump's not worried because his family has hundreds of millions (if not billions) tied up in the AI economy.
President Donald Trump said Tuesday at the United Nations that he is changing the term "artificial intelligence" to "super intelligence" because it's "more accurate," as he dismissed global concerns about the technology and its effects on humanity.
"From this point forward, all of United States documents and hopefully the world's, will be changed to use the much more accurate term super, as opposed to artificial," Trump said during his address to the UN General Assembly. "So it's super intelligence."
His comments follow repeated warnings about how rapid advances in AI threaten to outpace humans' ability to safely develop the technology, including calls from prominent tech leaders for stronger government oversight.
Trump dismissed most of the concerns over AI, saying the people who are warning that AI is going to "kill us" are the same ones who warned about global warming, a real, human-driven phenomenon that the president has dismissed as a hoax.
While Trump said "we have to be careful" with AI, he said the U.S. is only "going to encourage it, not rein it in."
"I'm not going to stifle growth of something that will be bigger than the industrial revolution," he said.

The Trump administration's refusal to disclose or even recognize the deaths of at least four of our servicemembers is disgusting.
@SenateDems will keep forcing votes on our War Powers Resolutions to finally end this war and bring our troops home.

Only Trump could try to present himself as a peacemaker and then threaten to "annihilate" an entire country in the same breath.
A sickening statement from a wannabe Nobel-laureate for peace.
ALT A headline from POLITICO reads: Trump talks peace, threatens annihilation of Iran in UNGA speech

As health care costs skyrocket and millions of Americans go uninsured, what is JD Vance and Donald Trump’s solution?
Kick hundreds of thousands more people off their health insurance.
Senate Democrats will expand coverage and lower costs for millions of Americans when we take back the majority:

Donald Trump just did what dictators throughout history have done.
@realDonaldTrump - this is a democracy. You will not be able to manipulate the news or hide the truth.
JUST IN: Trump says he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, and that he will be banning additional news outlets soon.

Congratulations to J. Michael Haynie on his inauguration as Syracuse University’s 13th Chancellor & President.
From Micron’s historic megafab to educating our next gen of leaders to supporting NY’s veterans, I’m proud of all we have achieved and look forward to building on that work in the years ahead. Go Orange!
Earlier this week, Chancellor Haynie spent some time walking around campus asking students for advice as a new chancellor 🎤
