Donald Trump lied.

No other leader in the Administration—not even Pete Hegseth—is claiming Iranian tomahawk missiles were responsible for the bombing that killed 170 people at an Iranian all-girls’ school.

There needs to be a full, INDEPENDENT, and transparent investigation.

Trump has not only failed to bring down prices, he’s actively making it worse. Inflation was up again in February—and that’s before Trump’s reckless war that will only drive prices even higher.

The buck stops with the President, this is his war of choice.

Secretary Rubio, Secretary Hegseth, and other senior officials must go under oath in public hearings with the Senate immediately to answer these questions.

The American people deserve answers.

This is why @shaheen.senate.gov, @reed.senate.gov, and I are demanding they finally testify:

Democrats have offered legislation to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA while we continue ICE negotiations.

Republicans BLOCKED the funding.

We must fund TSA, Coast Guard and FEMA TODAY.

Let me say it again: The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of American citizens.

Not non-citizens, not undocumented immigrants - AMERICAN CITIZENS.

Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances. No amount of whining from Elon Musk will change that.

Everything is more expensive under Trump:

➡️ He drove up grocery prices with the Trump Tariff Tax.
➡️ He drove up health care premiums when he refused to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits.
➡️ Now, he's driving up gas prices with his reckless attack on Iran.

Republicans in Congress put tax cuts for billionaires over health care for service members and veterans.

Working families want lower costs, not another forever war.

Trump should listen to the American people.

One of the most damning things I’ve found is this: NYSEG sent $450 million to Spain, knowing full well they’d turn around a few months later and try to stick Upstate ratepayers with the bill. That’s a shakedown.

Do I Have the Right to Film ICE? Despite government attacks against protesters and the press, documenting interactions with law enforcement and federal agents is protected by the First Amendment. Here’s what you need to know.

Yes.

ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.

A recent report from WIN NYC shows that 80% of women have faced some type of job disruption due to child care challenges.

That is unacceptable. And it’s why we’re going to make universal child care a reality.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.

The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.

It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

Due to Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice, gas prices have surged to their highest levels in years.

His response? “If they rise, they rise.” He couldn’t care less.

Today, I demanded Trump release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve IMMEDIATELY to bring relief to Americans at the pump.

The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people.

If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate.

Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

President Trump said  “if they rise, they rise” about gas prices he sent soaring, while families pay the price. He bragged about cheap gas at the State of the Union.

First, it was his tariffs. Now, it is his war that nobody wanted.

Americans continue footing the bill for Trump’s bad decisions.

The Columbia County Democratic Committee is thrilled to endorse Rep. Josh Riley as he runs for reelection as our member of the U.S. House!
Riley is pushing back on sky-high electric rates, challenging Trump's cruel treatment of immigrants and fighting to preserve rural health care systems.

Ground beef is up 11%. Coffee is up 14%. Rent is up.

And thanks to Trump's tariffs, American families are spending over $1,700 more this year—that is a heck of a lot of money when folks are struggling to pay bills.

Trump has no plan to fix any of this and is only making it worse.

Under Donald Trump, manufacturing jobs are down by 100,000.

Thanks to Donald Trump and Republican’s Big Ugly Bill, the Medicare trust fund will run out 12 years sooner than before.

In other words, Trump has accelerated Medicare's demise by more than a decade with one single bill.

Senate Democrats will review the unredacted Epstein files in the coming days.

The whole world is going to know exactly what Pam Bondi knew, when she knew it, and what she did to cover it up.

The survivors deserve the truth, and the American people are demanding it.

Looks like my threat of a GAO audit got their attention. Now they better close the offshore accounts and make way for oversight.

Also, where’s JD Vance’s corruption task force?

New York's small businesses shouldn't have to foot the bill for Trump's illegal tariffs.

Trump needs to end his Tariff Tax and refund American small businesses.
