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.

Trump is the most corrupt, out of touch President in our nation’s history. Senate Democrats will pursue every avenue to ensure that these funds are distributed as the law demands.

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.

It was an honor to join Governor Hochul, Governor Sherrill, @booker.senate.gov, members of the Gateway Development Commission, and union leaders to mark this momentous occasion.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

The Senate GOP even had a chance to support my bill to end Trump’s costly tariff tax—instead they blocked it. Trump and the GOP are doing nothing to lower costs. They couldn't care less.

This is disgraceful—@democrats.senate.gov will soon force another vote on our War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s war and get our troops out of harm’s way.

Thousands of New Yorkers stepped up to donate blood after 9/11. 25 years later, survivors battling 9/11-related illnesses still need blood for their treatments. Please help them by making an appointment to donate blood with @newyorkbloodcenter.bsky.social

September 11, 2001, brought unfathomable tragedy to New York City and America. The horror of that day will forever be seared into the minds of an entire generation of Americans.

The headlines speak for themselves.

They can lie and call it whatever they want but the American people know the truth: Donald Trump got us into an endless WAR that has caused skyrocketing prices at home while putting our servicemembers in danger abroad. We must end this war immediately.

Nearly 60K New Yorkers in the North Country are expected to lose Medicaid coverage thanks to the GOP's health cuts That's why I stood at Adirondack Medical to announce my Protecting Health Care & Lowering Costs Act: to reverse the cuts, restore ACA tax credits, & help families keep their insurance

This Labor Day, instead of enjoying the long weekend, too many Americans are looking for ways to make extra income just to make ends meet. Why? Because of Trump's failure of an economy.
A graphic reads: MOST EXPENSIVE LABOR DAY EVER

CNN Business
Labor Day gas has never been this expensive. Trump is scrambling for answers

AP
US diesel prices hit a record high, pushing up transportation costs for a long list of goods

Labor Day travel costs climb as airfare, hotel prices move higher

$5.84 a gallon for diesel is a new all-time high. Donald Trump and JD Vance own this. And instead of taking responsibility, they want you to be grateful for it.

In its latest attempt to destroy the integrity of our elections, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to allow mail-in ballot limits. American voters will pick their leaders—not Donald Trump. My statement:
Leader Schumer released this statement on the Trump Administration asking the Supreme Court to enable its voter suppression, September 3, 2026.

These reports are troubling and I am demanding that CENTCOM immediately open a fact-finding investigation. Secretary Hegseth needs to understand that these types of internal checks reflect our values and make the DOD stronger.

I’m heartbroken to hear of the passing of my friend Gloria Steinem. I was fortunate to know her well over the years. Through decades of advocacy, she never stopped fighting for a better, more equal society. My heart is with her loved ones and everyone she inspired.

Health care costs are expected to skyrocket by 8.2% in 2027. That’s the highest increase for employers in TWO DECADES. Under Donald Trump and Republicans, the cost of living keeps climbing higher and higher, with no relief in sight.
A headline from Washington Post reads: Health insurance costs projected to spike next year by most in two decades. Employers predict an average 8.2% increase in the cost of their insurance plans. Workers will shoulder some of the cost.

In just one year, Trump’s tariff tax has cost the average family nearly $2,000. That's why I'm introducing the End Trump’s Tariff Tax Act that would end the pain of Trump's costly tariffs—including his latest tariffs on Canada.

Month after month, lie after lie. The truth? This is another endless Middle East war brought to you by Donald Trump. We must end this war now.

6 months in, Trump’s disastrous war in Iran has accomplished nothing but the depletion of American stockpiles and the weakening of our military standing. That’s what I call an abject failure.

While Americans struggle to make ends meet, Trump has already added more than $2 billion to his own pocket. He’s not draining the swamp, he is the swamp. It’s corruption at the highest level.

New Yorkers are being hammered by rising costs, constant uncertainty, and cruel policies that are leaving working families behind. I’ll keep showing up, listening, and fighting to deliver for Upstate NY.

Our Russia sanctions bill sends a clear message to Moscow that America stands firmly with Ukraine, and that Putin is fighting a losing battle. Putin’s ambitions beyond Ukraine are obvious—and we will keep fighting for as long as it takes to defeat him.

America lost 23,000 jobs in July because of Trump’s disastrous agenda and his reckless war in Iran. How are Americans supposed to afford Trump’s skyrocketing costs if they lose their jobs too?

Donald Trump is in trouble. He knows it. And he’s trying to lie himself out of it. @democrats.senate.gov won’t let him.

Todd Blanche’s Department of Justice continues to let criminals off the hook so long as they’re loyal to Donald Trump. Trump already gave insurrectionists clemency, now he’s wiping their records clean. It doesn’t get more un-American than this.

Senate Republicans just rubber-stamped Donald Trump’s personal lawyer and one of the chief architects of the Epstein cover-up, Todd Blanche, to be Attorney General. They are the ultimate enablers of Donald Trump’s corruption. Americans will respond accordingly in November.

Trump is planning to gut Head Start—a devastating blow to our most vulnerable families. That means no math or literacy requirements, no health & safety screenings, no guarantee children can access medical services. He doesn't give a damn. He thinks the government exists to serve only him.

He's fine giving Trump a permission slip to commit tax fraud and resurrect his MAGA slush fund. Let’s be clear: This fund is strictly for Trump and his cronies. Where’s the reimbursement for the pain inflicted on the American people?

Donald Trump’s rampant corruption and brazen self-dealing at the expense of the American taxpayer must be stopped. Unprecedented corruption calls for unprecedented legislation to fight back—that’s why I introduced the Anti-Corruption Bureau Creation Act yesterday.

Today, Senate Democrats forced our 13TH vote on ending Donald Trump’s illegal Iran war. Senate Republicans, as afraid of Trump as ever, were nowhere to be found. Our troops are in danger, our costs are through the roof, and Donald Trump and Republicans simply do not care.

Trump is the most corrupt president in the history of our country He has filled the swamp to the brim while selling out Americans to the highest bidder Senate Democrats will be exposing, investigating, and holding him accountable for his brazen self-dealing at the expense of the American taxpayer

61 years of Medicare and Medicaid, the backbone of our healthcare system for tens of millions of Americans. Donald Trump and Republicans are trying to rip it all away. I will continue to lead Senate Democrats in fighting them every step of the way:

Trump is DOUBLING prescription drug prices for millions of seniors with his cuts to Medicare drug plans. We’re talking about seniors rationing life-saving drugs and skipping meals to afford their medication. It's disgusting. This is Trump’s America.
