Trump just gave Putin the best birthday gift he’ll get this year. By giving the Russian economy life support Trump’s deal with the devil keeps getting dirtier.   There’s nothing America First about Trump caving in to Putin and exempting Russia from US sanctions.   Americans need relief from skyrocketing prices. Instead, Trump is aiding and abetting a dictator who has helped Iran target US troops in the Middle East.

More of Trump’s corruption costing families. Trump made millions on Big Pharma while protecting their profits, raising your prescription drug costs, and cutting your health care.    Democrats will fight to undo every single cut that jacked up your costs and boosted Donald Trump’s and Big Pharma’s bottom lines. 

I am incredibly alarmed about the alleged attempt by a white supremacist to commit an act of mass violence at a Hindu temple in Aurora, Illinois, and I thank law enforcement for their swift response. Anti-Indian and anti-Hindu rhetoric is at an alarming level in America, and now we are seeing that hatred turn into violence. Bigotry against any community has no place in America, and I remain committed to ensuring that everyone, regardless of their race or religion, can live and practice their faith openly in our country.

Donald Trump has made clear that he wants to mess with our elections. We must take nothing for granted. That’s why Senate Democrats announced today that we have recruited and trained more than 100 Senate staff as official congressional election observers. They will serve as the Senate’s eyes and ears on the ground in closely contested Senate races. Our elections have always been fair, safe, and secure. We’re committed to keeping it that way.

Taxpayer dollars are not Trump’s personal propaganda fund. This court order is a win for taxpayers, but stopping the ads is only the beginning. Americans deserve answers about every dollar spent. That’s why I’ve demanded a thorough investigation into these ads and that all records are preserved. Now we need answers: Who approved them, how much was spent, and who will be held accountable.

Trump is doing a deal with the devil to try to help his flailing political fortunes from the shockingly high diesel prices caused by his own reckless, illegal war in the Middle East.   This filthy deal will only aid and abet the same Putin who is helping the Iranians to target and try to kill American troops in the Middle East and who illegally and viciously invaded our ally Ukraine.

Donald Trump is escalating his smear campaign against Lisa Cook while turning the presidency into a personal ATM: crypto schemes, taxpayer-funded propaganda ads, cash for his family - the list could go on forever.  This has nothing to do with 'ethical concerns.' It’s about Trump trying to seize control of the Fed, something that would mean even more economic chaos for American families.

The shooting of a New Yorker by ICE agents today is deeply disturbing, especially amid reports that a child was in the car when shots were fired. I’m relieved the man is receiving medical care and the child was unharmed. But enough is enough. New Yorkers deserve the full truth about what happened. DHS must immediately release all body camera footage and ensure a full, independent investigation. When excessive force is used, there must be accountability. No one is above the law.   For months, I’ve warned that ICE’s increasingly aggressive tactics put lives at risk. That’s why Senate Democrats fought for enforceable safeguards holding ICE agents to the same standards as other law enforcement officers.   DHS can make all the claims it wants. The footage will speak for itself. Release it.

Today we mark 3 years since Hamas’s horrific October 7th terrorist attack on Israel, the single deadliest day in Jewish history since the Holocaust. The brutality of the October 7th attacks that killed over 1,200 people, including 48 Americans, and took hostage over 250, will be seared into our memories forever. I visited Israel on October 10th and met with hostage families; I felt their pain, anguish, and fear—it’s a feeling I will never forget. We must all never forget.  On this solemn anniversary, my prayers are with those killed in Hamas’s attacks, the hostages who came home through painstaking negotiations, and the hostages who were killed in captivity and whose bodies were brutally held for over 2 years, including my constituents Omer Neutra and Itay Chen.  Today, we reaffirm our commitment to the security of the Israeli people, to the aid and wellbeing of the Palestinian people and the recovery of the devastation in Gaza that the ensuing conflict brought, and to doubling down on efforts for a lasting peace resulting in two states where Israelis and Palestinians can live side by side in equal measures of peace, security, dignity, and mutual recognition.

Deranged. Delusional. And soon to be defeated.   Calling millions of Americans collateral damage in his illegal war that nobody asked for takes a special kind of depravity, the kind only a man as weak and feeble as Donald Trump could sink to.
