Senate Democrats
@SenateDems
We are the Senate Democrats, and we're working hard for the American people.
Donald Trump should fire Russell Vought immediately before he runs the country into the ground.
White House official Russell Vought said it “wasn’t in our interest” to release a federal budget plan, explaining a decision that defied decades of bipartisan tradition and that some experts say broke the law. wapo.st/46geyo7
This isn’t Republicans stopping waste, fraud, and abuse. This is just cruelty. The cruelty is the point.
House Republicans are leaving town rather than have a discussion about Jeffrey Epstein. Why are Republicans so afraid to stand up and hold this administration accountable for their lies? Via @SenBooker
Republicans are trying to move ahead with one of the worst judicial nominees Trump has ever put forward: Emil Bove. A guy who has made his name handling Trump’s dirty laundry when Trump was charged with inciting an insurrection on January 6th. Democrats will fight it tooth and…
Senator Thune keeps talking about a bipartisan appropriations process like he didn’t just ram through Donald Trump’s Big, Ugly Betrayal, on a completely partisan vote, with devastating cuts to healthcare, good-paying jobs, and rural communities, all to fund tax breaks for…
HAPPENING NOW 📢 Don't miss @SenSchumer, @SenatorDurbin, and @SenBooker with the latest updates from the U.S. Senate:
Trump promised during his campaign he'd lower prices on day one. Six months into his presidency, his disastrous, inflationary policies are doing the exact opposite in Delaware.
Local inflation is up. What’s fueling higher prices for Delaware and region delawareonline.com/story/money/bu…
Public radio saves lives. When wildfires and floods hit New Mexico, local stations delivered real-time alerts that helped families evacuate and stay safe. Last week, Republicans voted to slash funding for public broadcasting – risking lives in New Mexico and across the country.
Defying just one judge would be an unacceptable breach of our Constitution. Trump has defied DOZENS — making a mockery of our independent judiciary and the rule of law. It's a threat to our democracy and every American should be alarmed. washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…
Republicans’ Big, Beautiful Betrayal will blow a $3.4 trillion hole in our deficit, raise energy costs, and kick 10 million people off their health insurance. Why? All for billionaire tax cuts.
Thanks to Trump’s tax bill, health insurance premiums will rise by an average of $700 a year for nearly 20 million Americans. Working families shouldn’t pay more to give the billionaires a tax break.
Our local leaders are going to be the first to have to make tough decisions when the changes from President Trump’s big bill hit Michigan. It will be felt in every community. Yesterday, I held a meeting with 400+ local leaders across Michigan to talk about this bill’s impact on…
This is what Republicans voted for in Trump’s “Big, Beautiful” BETRAYAL bill. There’s nothing “beautiful” about families terrified about losing critical medical care. nytimes.com/2025/07/21/wel…
You can’t rip away health care from millions without adding tons of uncompensated care into the system and raising costs for all. The big, cruel, horrible bill is going to be a devastating setback for our health care system.
Senate Republicans knew this bill was wrong, but they are so damn afraid of Donald Trump that he just crushed them. Democrats will never stop standing up for the American people.
Hear it from your own Brookings Register:
Strengthen Medicaid for those whom it was originally intended to serve. Cut waste, fraud, and abuse. Support rural hospitals. These are all pillars of our commitment to reforming Medicaid so it’s sustainable for the long term.
I called for this because we need accountability for how the Trump cuts impacted the response to the Texas flooding and how they’ll impact future disaster response efforts across America. We will not stop fighting to restore the National Weather Service.
The Department of Commerce’s Office of the Inspector General has opened an inquiry into staffing at the National Weather Service and the circumstances surrounding the deadly flooding in Central Texas. scrippsnews.com/us-news/first-…
Donald Trump and Linda McMahon are trying to dismantle public education in America, firing thousands of workers and defunding our schools. Democrats won’t stop fighting for #ClassroomsNotCuts. This is about our kids’ future.
Vance can try whatever he wants, but the Big, Ugly Betrayal rips healthcare away from millions of Americans, explodes the debt, and hurts working families. And it’s all just to give billionaires another tax break. Democrats will not stop fighting for working Americans.
