Senate Democrats

We are the Senate Democrats, and we're working hard for the American people.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

As America turns 250, Senate Democrats are celebrating our great nation and reaffirming our American values.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

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

@SenBooker on Trump’s war in Iran

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Watch @SenBooker plead with his Republican colleagues to hold ICE accountable.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

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.

@SenGaryPeters: “Republican senators are just unwilling to step up the way they should.”

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

That’s a lie, and here’s Trump confirming it.

If there is another shutdown in September, it’s on your president and your party.

[Senate Republicans @SenateGOP]

Senator Schumer is wrong.

Senate Democrats are scheming to shut the government down for a third time because they think it helps them politically.

He said as much during the last Schumer shutdown while troops were missing paychecks.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

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.”

@SenBooker: “that is outrageous in our nation.”

[Sen. Jeanne Shaheen @SenatorShaheen]

On Monday, ICE agents were involved in yet another deadly shooting, this time in Maine.

There must be a full and transparent investigation into what happened, why it happened and what can be done to prevent more deaths.

[Senator Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

Is it any wonder that the American people lack any confidence in the President’s handling of this war?

[Sen. Elissa Slotkin @SenatorSlotkin]

What is the true cost of the war in Iran? I did some back-of-the-envelope math since the Trump Administration won't tell us.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Donald Trump and his family cashed in while ordinary investors got stuck holding the bag.

Any crypto bill coming out of Congress must put an end to this brazen financial corruption.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Republicans are once again fighting tooth and nail to defund Planned Parenthood while they do nothing to make your life more affordable.

Defunding Planned Parenthood means millions will have less access to cancer screenings and basic health care.

No way. I'm fighting back.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Today, the Senate will take a key vote on a $1.1 TRILLION defense bill.

Not only does this effectively green light Trump's illegal Iran war, it also gives the Israeli govt immense leverage over our national security.

In 2023, we saw firsthand the risk that could pose⬇️

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

If you’re wondering why stuff feels more and more expensive, Trump keeps finding new and innovative ways to invent brand-new taxes on Americans. This one was just so dumb even he had to back down.

[Senator Peter Welch @SenPeterWelch]

It cost taxpayers $14 million to tint the Lincoln Reflecting Pool.
It’ll cost taxpayers $300 million to build his ballroom.
It’ll cost $100 million to build his arch.

People can’t afford to pay for health care or buy a house, but Trump is making you pay for his vanity projects.

[Sen. Maria Cantwell @SenatorCantwell]

The SAVE America Act and redistricting to eliminate minority-majority districts are actions to take away the right to vote.

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

Donald Trump has already tried to redraw the maps and change the rules of our elections to tilt the playing field in his favor.

When he can't win by the rules, he tries to change them.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

What happened to “finishing the job in two weeks.”

Never believe what Donald Trump says.

[Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny]

Another person is dead after a second fatal ICE shooting in less than a week. We need independent investigations, oversight, and rules for this out-of-control agency.

Our communities deserve answers.

[Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters]

My parents’ story embodies the American dream. Their hard work, resilience, and courage to stand up for what is right represents the very best of our country. I know they would be proud to celebrate this 250th anniversary.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

If there's a shutdown, it's on Donald Trump. He said so himself.

Unless Trump changes his course, realizes the anti-democracy SAVE Act cannot pass, and starts working on more productive things, we could be headed for another Trump Shutdown.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Trump has no clue what he’s doing in Iran, and it’s a recipe for utter disaster. He had no plan and no exit strategy on day 1 of this reckless war. We’re on day 136, and nothing has changed.

Bipartisan majorities in Congress passed legislation to end this war that Trump is ignoring. Our service members are in harm’s way. Working families are forking over a fortune for gas and groceries.

End this war once and for all.
