50 years of making access to health care depend on how much money you have. Health care must not be a privilege for people who can afford it.

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.

She had the courage to come forward. No survivor should have to summon that courage — and then fight the system to make it respond.

There must now be a truly independent and exhaustive investigation — not only into what happened, but into how this case was handled from the moment she came forward. Every fact must be uncovered. Every failure must be examined. Wherever wrongdoing occurred, there must be accountability.

It is incumbent upon all of us – elected officials, university leaders, faculty, and students – to build campus communities where sexual violence is never tolerated, minimized, or ignored.

What she reported demanded urgency, seriousness, and an unflinching pursuit of the truth from the very beginning. Sexual assault remains far too common on college campuses across America, and the culture of silence and complicity that allows it to persist must be confronted.

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.

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.

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.

Their bill still allows Members of Congress and President Trump to own and sell stocks, and it's loaded with voting restriction provisions. Not to mention, Trump has traded more stocks than all of Congress combined since his term began. It's designed to hide insider trading—not stop it.

Republicans do not care about reining in insider trading.

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.

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.

I've championed this project for over a decade, secured billions in federal funding for it, and can’t wait to see it improve the lives of millions of commuters in the NY/NJ area.

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.

Donald Trump’s agenda has failed. His attempts to cheat will fail. And the voters will hold him accountable for all of it in November.

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.

Senate Republicans just voted AGAIN to continue Trump’s war in Iran.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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 enrich yourselves as the economy stagnates and real wages fall? Another chance to pass your failed voter suppression bill? I have a feeling the American people will pass.

Another chance to implement tariffs that have done nothing but hurt American consumers? Another chance to cut SNAP benefits for children? Another chance to turn the DOJ and FCC into your personal attack dogs? Another chance to do nothing about AI regulation?

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.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 16/09/2026
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.

Chuck Schumer @schumer.senate.gov · 16/09/2026
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.
