Today the Hyde Amendment turns 50 years old. 50 years of denying critical abortion care to people who can’t afford it. 50 years of forcing people to choose between paying for health care and paying for rent, food, child care, or other necessities.

The allegations of sexual assault and rape at Cornell University are horrifying and deserve a thorough investigation that leaves no stone unturned. It took extraordinary courage for this young woman to come forward to university administrators and police.

There’s been a real effort to ban members of Congress from trading stocks and profiting off insider information—which I’ve supported for years. This Republican bill, however, has no reform, no accountability, and no substance, and STILL allows members to own and sell stocks.

Gas is nearly $4.50 a gallon, so what’s Trump’s answer? Let automakers build less efficient cars—meaning your family has to make more trips to the pump and pay even more to get to work.  Everything he does is at your expense.

Trump says new fuel economy rules will cut car prices. Analysts are doubtful.
In rolling back fuel efficiency standards, the administration said the average new vehicle price in 2031 should be reduced by $1,300.

Donald Trump is illegally stealing $810 million from programs that support education, small business, and clean air. All while tripling his own net worth and spending billions more on ballrooms, reflecting pools, and an illegal war nobody asked for.

NEWS: The Senate GOP just blocked our resolution to stop Trump from further sabotaging the Affordable Care Act. Trump and Republicans own every closed hospital, every person without insurance and every skyrocketing premium that follows.

Remember when Trump said his war in Iran would last only four to five weeks? We’re now in month EIGHT, and the American people and our troops are paying the price. Last week, the Senate GOP had the chance to vote to end this illegal war, and instead voted to keep it going. They are complicit.

Trump just gutted nearly $1B in funding for kids, K-12, small businesses, & health and clean-air research Billions for his vanity projects? No problem Programs that help Americans? Apparently, that’s too far We will fight these illegal cuts. We will not let Trump rob the American people blind.

Trump Proposes $810 Million in Education and Health Cuts, Defying Congress
The attempted clawback represents the second time in as many years that the White House has sought to cancel funding approved by lawmakers.

Another one of Trump’s corruption schemes to abuse American tax dollars for his own benefit. This is a violation of what a democracy is supposed to look like. The corruption is endless.

He says this with a straight face as gas reaches $4.50/gal, diesel reaches $6.50/gal, mortgage rates soar over 7%, grocery costs are rising, and Americans’ sentiments towards the economy are the lowest they’ve been since the Great Recession.

Gateway is ALL SYSTEMS GO! After repeatedly beating Donald Trump in his attempts to shut off federal funding for Gateway, we finally began boring the Hudson River Tunnel, the first new tunnel under the Hudson in over 100 years.

The MAGA SCOTUS strikes again, putting its thumb on the scale for Trump’s election-rigging agenda Elon Musk’s DOGE-overhauled SAVE database is ridden with errors. With this decision, thousands of American voters could be wrongly stripped from voter rolls & prevented from voting this election season

Donald Trump and his Senate GOP 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

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 and 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.

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.

The Trump administration's refusal to disclose or even recognize the deaths of at least four of our servicemembers is disgusting. @democrats.senate.gov 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.
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.

For the first time in 3 years, the Fed raised interest rates to fight rising inflation thanks to Trump's tariffs and his war in Iran.

Trump keeps trying to downplay the cost of his Iran war but it has cost everyday Americans over $100 BILLION in inflated gas prices. @democrats.senate.gov will keep fighting to pass our War Powers Resolution to bring our troops home, and to lower costs for the American people.

Another chance to start a new, $100+ billion endless foreign war? Another chance to send diesel costs skyrocketing to all-time highs? Another chance to send gas prices above $4/gal? Another chance to strip health care from millions of Americans?

Trump can put whoever he wants in charge of the Fed, but the same inescapable truth remains: His economy is awful, and it’s getting worse by the day. The Fed hiking rates was the inevitable result of his failures and will raise Americans’ costs in countless ways.

We’re STILL paying the price for Trump’s incompetence seven months into a disastrous war with Iran that he said would only take days. It has cost Americans hundreds of billions of dollars and unnecessarily endangered our troops.

The unchecked danger of catastrophic risks from AI is a serious problem that demands action. The Trump administration must come before the Senate immediately for a classified briefing on these risks and the steps being taken to protect Americans. The American people deserve answers.

Donald Trump: you lost another one. The President’s attempt to screw around with vote by mail was obscene. Finally, his scheme is dead.  This was one of the most important cases to protect voting rights before the Supreme Court.

Trump's newest LIE: Somehow, Ukraine is responsible for diesel prices hitting a record high. Americans know it’s Trump and his war with Iran that's driving up costs. No amount of Trump's finger-pointing and lies can erase his disaster of an economy. www.ms.now/news/trump-i...

Trump blames Ukraine for America’s record-high diesel prices
“This isn't done by the Middle East,” Trump insisted, after previously linking soaring fuel prices to his war with Iran.

Even if we did have a high-IQ president right now (and we don't), it wouldn't be enough. We cannot afford to turn a blind eye to AI. The warning signs have never been clearer.

NEW 🚨 I’m calling on the Trump admin to provide an all-Senators briefing on the dangers of unchecked AI development—and to explain its lack of action to protect our country.

We will not allow Donald Trump and his cronies to meddle in our elections and escape accountability from voters. A DHS whistleblower has come forward to report illegal, deceptive, and reckless practices that the Trump DHS is undertaking ahead of the midterm elections.

Donald Trump is selling pardons in a scheme that amounts to bribery – something he’s very familiar with (see: buying Americans' votes for $5,000).

$500? A complete slap in the face to hardworking Americans this administration has betrayed time and time again. A mere 1.6% of the cost of a 3-day hospital stay. Truly insulting. If Donald Trump wanted to lower health care costs, he’d sit down with Democrats and restart the ACA tax credits.

Trump’s presidency is so failed and broken, he is resorting to trying to bribe the American people for their votes. An insult to Americans, to democracy, and an admission of how absolutely screwed he is.

The headlines speak for themselves.
An image shows a headline from Business Insider that reads "The trick to lowering gas prices is driving less, US energy secretary says" and a headline from New York Times that reads "As War Grinds On, Trump Relishes Renovation Projects"
