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.
Kristi Noem has been fired. Good riddance.
But the problems at DHS go much deeper than any one person.
The President must rein in ICE and end the violence.
If Trump doesn’t want gas prices to go up, he shouldn’t have started the war in Iran.
This is yet another sign that this administration seems allergic to having a plan and thinking about the consequences of their actions.
Shame on the Senate GOP for not standing up to Trump and his reckless war.
A headline by NBC News reads: "Judge rules companies are entitled to refunds for Trump tariffs overturned by the Supreme Court"
The people who deserve a refund from Trump's trade war are American households and small businesses, not large corporations.
Corporations should pass savings of any tariff refunds to American consumers.
I’m proud to lead @democrats.senate.gov in introducing the Family Grocery and Farmer Relief Act.
Our bill will break the monopoly power that has played a sinister role in raising prices of beef and groceries for Americans.
10 years later, the so-called “Peace President” and his administration seem to think wars should be fought forever…
The Senate is about to vote on our War Powers Resolution.
If just 5 Republican Senators won’t vote with Democrats to stop Donald Trump’s military madness, they alone will own the consequences of this reckless war.
This is insanity.
A headline from Wall Street Journal reads: Record Numbers of Workers Are Raiding Their 401(k) Savings
This is not the golden age Donald Trump promised.
Last night’s elections proved one thing: People are fed up with Donald Trump and congressional Republicans.
Democrats are going to do what Donald Trump refuses to do—fight the affordability crisis every day, all year long.
Here in the Senate, we have a chance to say no more to Donald Trump's military insanity.
Today the Senate will vote on a bipartisan war powers resolution led by me, @kaine.senate.gov, @schiff.senate.gov, and Senator Rand Paul to put a STOP to military activity in Iran.
We must act.
I sat yesterday with my Senate colleagues for an all-senators briefing, and here’s how much clarity we got out of that briefing:
Zero.
The Senate is moving long-overdue housing legislation: The 21st Century Road to Housing Act.
Democrats know this is only the first step. We have much more work to do, and we will keep fighting to lower housing costs for working Americans.
The American people want and need help affording everyday cost of living.
Instead, Donald Trump has plunged us into another endless war costing billions of taxpayer dollars and American lives.
We grieve the deaths of six U.S. Servicemembers who were killed in action this weekend. Their families are in our hearts.
We pray for all American families who have loved ones serving.
And we pray for everyone across the Middle East who are now in harm's way.
Senator Schumer released this statement on President Trump's strikes on Iran.
My statement on President Trump’s strikes on Iran:
The Trump administration’s plan to lower grocery costs:
Eat liver or cheap cuts.
Bobby Antoinette: Let them eat liver.
10 minutes of training on Constitutional guardrails is not enough for agents enforcing the law. This is why we need real reforms for ICE.
The Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal tariffs that took over $130 BILLION from small businesses and families.
That's why I'm demanding that the Trump administration begin processing refunds automatically—no delays or conditions.
That money belongs to the American people.
A headline from POLITICO reads: US putting Venezuelan oil proceeds into Treasury account | The Trump administration had taken heat for depositing money into an account in Qatar.
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?
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.
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.
A graphic shows a chart of manufacturing job losses from May to Dec. 2025. The headline reads: Golden Age of Manufacturing? 8 Months of Straight Job Loss
Under Donald Trump, manufacturing jobs are down by 100,000.
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.
A headline from AP News reads: Trump uses longest-ever State of the Union to try to convince voters that US is ‘winning so much’
With costs out of control—who in America feels like they’re “winning so much”?
Maybe billionaires, but that’s it.
The DOJ's handling of the Epstein files has all the stench of a cover up.
Pam Bondi does not have the right to pick and choose which Epstein files to release to the public.
The American people were promised the truth.
A headline from NPR reads: Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump
The Epstein Files coverup keeps getting worse:
The DOJ has apparently withheld several memos detailing accusations against Trump.
AG Pam Bondi: It's not your job to protect the President from embarrassment, it's your job to give Americans full access to the truth.
A post from Glenn Thrush reads: NEWS: At least 10 F.B.I., employees, some agents, have been dismissed in connection with the federal investigation into Trump's improper retention of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, according to ppl with knowledge of the move.
Seems like the goal of the VP’s “War on Fraud” is to cover up for his boss.

Trump lied to the American people last night when he said he would protect Medicare.
Here’s the truth: Republican’s Big Ugly Bill slashed 12 years of Medicare benefits for seniors.
