Trump and RFK Jr. are hellbent on making America sick again.
January 23, 2026 at 11:47 PM
This is abhorrent. The 4th amendment is the law of the land, and you need a warrant to enter people’s homes.

The courts must step in immediately and ICE must leave our cities.
January 23, 2026 at 10:46 PM
When Trump says they are going after the worst criminals, is this who they mean? 5-year-olds aren’t bait and they don’t belong in jail—it’s sickening.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day reminds us that we can’t ever give up on his dream.

His resilience and commitment to civil rights continues to be a message to our country today:

We must never give up in the fight for justice and equality for all.

First it was Tish James and James Comey. Now it’s Senators, Governors, and the Fed Chair. In Donald Trump’s America you get a bogus investigation for doing your job.

Americans reject this kind of totalitarian bullying. Where are Republicans? Hiding.

NEWS: Groundbreaking has officially begun on a massive, $100 billion chipmaking plant that will transform Central NY and supercharge I-90 as a semiconductor superhighway.

I was proud to deliver the CHIPS + Science Act of 2022 which paved the way for this facility.

I spent years working to bring Micron to Upstate NY, and with the passage of my CHIPS & Science Law, I delivered billions to make it happen. I’m proud to announce Micron’s groundbreaking at its new manufacturing site in Clay, New York!

Opportunity Starts at Home

This new housing agenda is full of ideas from @SenateDems to tackle the housing affordability crisis by working to reduce rent, boost home ownership, stop predatory corporations, supercharge construction, and provide housing security for all Americans
January 15, 2026 at 7:58 PM
Democrats are unveiling a new housing agenda to tackle the housing affordability crisis:

—The median price of a home has increased 55% since COVID
—Rent prices are up more than 30%
—The median age of a 1st-time homebuyer is 40
—America is short millions of homes—increasing costs

A major Verizon outage yesterday affected 100,000+ Verizon users.

At a time of high costs, consumers must always be automatically compensated for service disruptions, fully and completely—not just a courtesy or suggestion—and the FCC has a responsibility to require just that.
January 15, 2026 at 5:27 PM
Americans are worried about costs and Trump’s policies are only making things worse.
January 14, 2026 at 8:55 PM
I just brought legislation to the Senate floor to restore ACA tax credits for 3 years. This legislation passed the House with bipartisan support.

Senate Republicans said NO, ensuring health care costs continue to spike for millions of Americans.

We are not going to stop fighting.
January 14, 2026 at 8:43 PM
Whether it’s costs or Epstein or ending forever wars, the pattern is the same:

Donald Trump talks a big game but never actually follows through.
January 14, 2026 at 6:53 PM
Donald Trump once again tried to gaslight the American people about the affordability crisis.

In a rambling speech attempting to show he cares about the struggles of ordinary Americans, he called it a FAKE.

Tell that to anyone who actually has to work for a living.
January 14, 2026 at 5:50 PM
Trump’s naked political attack against Jerome Powell and the Fed is so dangerous that even Republicans are whispering in the hallways about their concerns—but actions speak louder than words.

Republicans should step up and use their oversight powers to bring the DOJ to heel.
January 14, 2026 at 4:54 PM
BREAKING: I'm headed to the Senate floor to move to pass legislation passed by the House last week to extend the ACA premium tax credits for three years.

The American people need relief, and today we have a chance to deliver it.

Happy Korean American Day!

New York is home to one of the largest and most vibrant Korean American communities in the nation. For 123 years, Korean Americans have shaped our culture, businesses, and neighborhoods, enriching the fabric of our state and country.

The Senate has already voted four times on a bipartisan basis to reject Trump's illegal trade war.

No blank checks for Donald Trump’s endless trade wars.

No blank checks for senseless tariffs.
January 12, 2026 at 11:50 PM
Trump’s tariffs are an illegal theft of Congress’ authority over trade and tax—the Supreme Court should strike these harmful and senseless tariffs down.
January 12, 2026 at 11:27 PM
THIS WEEK: The Senate will vote to pass our war powers resolution and affirm Congress' constitutional authority on matters of war and peace.

Will Republicans stand with the majority of Americans who don’t want another endless war?
January 12, 2026 at 11:05 PM
Anyone with two eyes and half a brain knows exactly what the DOJ’s criminal probe into Jerome Powell represents: a brazen attempt by Donald Trump to weaponize the DOJ and bully America's central bank into submission.
January 12, 2026 at 10:47 PM
Donald Trump’s assault on the Fed’s independence continues, threatening the strength and stability of our economy.

This is the kind of bullying that we’ve all come to expect from Donald Trump and his cronies. Anyone who is independent and doesn’t just fall in line behind Trump gets investigated.

“The Most Transparent Administration in History”

No more endless wars?

Add it to Donald Trump’s endless list of broken promises.

It was an incredible honor to meet Rabbi Ulman of Bondi and Ahmed al-Ahmed, the hero who saved countless lives during the antisemitic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach.

Ahmed is a role model for us all. We must continue to fight antisemitism, hatred and bigotry wherever it rears its ugly head.
