Donald Trump wants to steal the midterms. Senate Democrats have been preparing for months to stop him. Elections belong to the American people, not Trump. We will fight him every step of the way, and we will ensure free and fair elections. Read my article here: democracydocket.com/opinion/…

After delivering $18 million from my CHIPS & Science Law, I was proud to celebrate the grand opening of Edwards Vacuum’s new state-of-the-art facility in Genesee County. Located smack dab in the middle of NY’s new “Semiconductor Superhighway,” this new facility is bringing critical manufacturing back to America creating hundreds of new jobs in the process!

I spent yesterday traveling across New York speaking out against Trump’s costly and harmful agenda. From New Yorkers being kicked off their health care, to families and small businesses being crushed by Trump’s tariff taxes, I won’t stop fighting against Trump’s reckless policies that have made life more difficult for hardworking New Yorkers.

Since Day 1, Trump has given the biggest polluters a free pass to poison our air and make Americans sick. His message is clear: Big Polluters profit. American families pay the price. Trump’s corruption costs.

Trump’s efforts to steal the election have once again failed. A California court has rejected his efforts to remove American citizens from the voter rolls and sow chaos in the midterm elections. Trump should realize that we are a country where the rule of law prevails and that his efforts to upend the electoral process will fail. We will continue to fight him all the way.
🚨BREAKING: In a win for voters, a federal judge rejected the Trump administration's bid to force California to set aside ballots from 20k people it alleges may be noncitizens. The ruling preserves the status quo as voting has been well underway in the Golden State.

Today, we lost a true icon. Dolores Huerta’s decades of work and leadership in the labor and civil rights movements advanced the cause of justice and economic equality like few other Americans. We must always remember her extraordinary influence and carry it forward in the work still to be done. My prayers are with her family and the generations of Americans who continue to be impacted and inspired by her groundbreaking efforts. ¡Sí se puede!
Dolores Huerta, who founded the United Farm Workers with Cesar Chavez, changing laws and the lives of thousands of laborers, died on Wednesday at 96. A skilled organizer, she coordinated walkouts and negotiated pathbreaking contracts with agribusiness. nyti.ms/4zZMDUY

8 months of Trump’s illegal Iran war. 8 months of rising prices. 8 months of endangering our troops. 8 months of lies. Democrats have forced 14 votes to end this madness. Republicans have voted to keep it going every single time.

For eight months, American families have been buried by the heavy cost of Trump’s disastrous war in Iran.   Twenty-one servicemembers have died and hundreds more have been wounded. Prices are skyrocketing, and families are struggling to make ends meet. Meanwhile, Republicans continue to look the other way.   Democrats have given Republicans 14 chances to hold Trump accountable and end this reckless war. Republicans continue to refuse and ignore the cruel reality.     Trump and his ego led us into this war with no plan, no authority, and no exit strategy. Senate Democrats will continue to do everything in our power to end this disaster of a war and stop the costs, chaos, and corruption seeping from the White House.

I am glad to see Maria Corina Machado return home, a moment long awaited by the people of Venezuela. When I met with @MariaCorinaYa, we talked about the importance of a democratic Venezuela, and the need for free and fair elections. Venezuelans deserve the right to elect their president—there is no time to waste. Welcome home, @MariaCorinaYa!
After more than 10 months in exile, Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel laureate María Corina Machado has returned home. "I am here. With you," Machado announced on X Sunday morning shortly before other members of the opposition confirmed her arrival without providing details. cnn.it/4slYBFE

Found it @RealDonaldTrump – where’s my $1 million? You can wire it straight to the 10,000 election workers who are volunteering their time to protect against your efforts to steal the midterms.
NEW: Trump is offering $1 million to anyone who reports cases of "voter fraud" in the midterms or past elections that lead to a conviction. It's his latest attempt to present rare cases of illegal voting as a widespread problem that threatens U.S. elections. demdock.com/4zSmNC2

The truest thing @JDVance has said in a long, long time.

Americans have paid billions more for gas as Donald Trump has stuffed tens of millions in personal profit into his pockets. It’s obscene. No politician should be able to make millions off their office - whether they serve in Congress or in the White House. Senate Democrats will hold Trump accountable for doing just that.
FIRST ON CBS: As President Trump boasts about how much money the U.S. oil and gas industry is making from the war with Iran, the president's personal holdings in oil and gas are now worth between $22.5 million and $81.6 million, compared with $12.6 million to $46 million at the end of 2025, according to a new report by Democrats on the Congressional Joint Economic Committee. cbsn.ws/47IN9un

This is life under Donald Trump and Republicans: Skyrocketing health care costs are forcing Americans to skip doctor visits and ration their medications, while millions more are losing coverage.

READ THIS🚨 From a ballroom, to a birthday parade: New reports say Trump has devoted $1.6 BILLION in taxpayer money to fund his self-serving vanity projects. That’s 620 times what the average American earns in a lifetime. Americans are struggling to make ends meet, and Trump is treating them as his personal ATM.

Trump's attempts to rig the midterms and block tens of thousands of eligible voters just days before the election REEK of desperation. Our elections are free and fair, and @SenateDems will ensure they stay that way.

Nope. Senate Democrats have been preparing for this for months and will be ready for whatever they try.    As Trump and his cronies attempt to steal this election, we are fighting them at every turn. Our elections must always belong to the voters – not Donald Trump.
Q: Is there any scenario where the DOJ would try to stop states from certifying the election? Trump's Attorney General Todd Blanche: Of course. To say that there's no circumstances that we would ever do that, of course I'm not going to say that.

Another day, another false promise about a health care plan. While Americans face skyrocketing health care costs CAUSED BY TRUMP’S CRUEL AGENDA, Trump lies about a health care plan that will never actually happen.
Trump: "We will pass a truly great healthcare plan that will stop all payments to big insurance companies"

It’s been just over 4 months since OG Anunoby's tip-in gave New York one of our greatest moments, and greatest summers, in our long, storied history. Congrats to the @nyknicks on receiving their championship rings tonight and raising the first banner in 53 years! Time to repeat!

This disgusting, antisemitic language from Donald Trump must have no place in our country, especially from the President of the United States. While unsurprising from a President who spews hatred on the daily, it must be universally condemned by those who want to root out antisemitism and bigotry in all its forms.

Gas before Trump’s illegal war with Iran: $2.98. Gas 233 days into Trump’s illegal war with Iran: $4.30. Americans have spent over $100 BILLION more on gas in that time. No amount of juvenile idiocy from Donald Trump will distract Americans from that fact.
