BIG: Senate Democrats stopped Republicans’ ploy to jam a dangerous gun lobby loophole into their Big, Ugly Betrayal. It would’ve deregulated silencers, rifles, and shotguns, eliminating background checks and registration, rolling back century-old law.
The Supreme Court's latest decision endangers women’s health care even further. For many, Planned Parenthood is their only option for affordable health care. Access to health care is a basic right—no matter what the MAGA court thinks.
 @democrats.senate.gov will keep fighting.
One thing is clear from the all-Senators briefing on the Iran strikes: The Trump admin has no coherent strategy. No end game. No plan. That's why we need to enforce the War Powers Act, and the administration must provide answers.
This win saves hundreds of billions of dollars for Americans to get healthcare, rather than funding tax cuts to billionaires. Republicans could try to find other ways to fund billionaire tax cuts, Senate Democrats will fight those like hell too.
NEWS: In the Ugly Senate Republican bill, Democrats successfully fought a noxious provision that would’ve decimated America’s healthcare system and hurt millions of Americans.
Senate Democrats will never relent in our efforts to ensure all women in America have access to precisely what everyone deserves: dignity, privacy, and access to high quality health care in every community in the nation.
Make no mistake—Senate Republicans own the consequences of this loathsome MAGA Supreme Court decision. They packed our courts with extremists and they’re the chief architects of the dismal state of women’s health care in America.
A headline from AP reads: States can cut off Medicaid funding to Planned Parenthood, the Supreme Court rules.
BREAKING: We fought Republicans’ backdoor abortion ban in the Senate bill. We fought Republicans’ latest move to rip away health care from women, to ensure that reproductive care would continue to be covered in the ACA marketplace. AND WE WON.
Republicans know their attacks on reproductive health care are dangerous and deeply unpopular. We are reintroducing the Women's Health Protection Act today to restore abortion access nationwide.
Senator Schumer speaks at a press conference on the 3 year anniversary of the Dobbs decision, June 24, 2026.
Senator Schumer speaks at a press conference on the 3 year anniversary of the Dobbs decision, June 24, 2026.
What is the administration so afraid of? This last-minute postponement of their briefing with Senator on Iran is outrageous, evasive, and derelict. They have a legal obligation to inform Congress precisely about what is happening.
This is Kevin Schulte, CEO of GreenSpark Solar—one of the fastest growing companies in Rochester, NY. Because the Republican Big, Ugly Bill is threatening to end the clean energy tax credits that we delivered: GreenSpark Solar is being forced to lay off staff. Watch his story:
The Republican Senate Finance Committee draft is even worse than expected. It is the Republican House bill on steroids. Tens of millions will lose their health care Electricity bills will go up Millions of good-paying jobs will be lost
The Senate Finance Committee unveiled its changes to how the GOP megabill would execute a major tax revamp and Medicaid cuts.
Arresting Comptroller Lander is despicable and another example of Trump weaponizing law enforcement to attack political enemies rather than focusing on public safety. DHS is flat-out lying in its statement. In the video, Comptroller Lander plainly does not lay a hand on anyone.
Republicans snuck in a backdoor abortion ban in their “Big, Ugly Betrayal.” It defunds Planned Parenthood and threatens coverage for comprehensive reproductive care from state ACA marketplaces. It’s a direct assault on women’s healthcare in America.
Senator Schumer speaks at a press conference on how the Republican bill sneaks in a backdoor abortion ban, June 17, 2025.
TRUMP JUST DISMANTLED the program aimed to spot lone-actor violence and violent domestic extremists, exactly like what happened in Minnesota The day before the attack, the last top officials there were reassigned Trump is weaponizing DOJ into going after his political enemies instead of criminals
A post from USA Today reads: As 'lone actor' attacks rise, Trump cuts program aimed at spotting them.
America witnessed one of the largest peaceful demonstrations in our country's history on No Kings Day. Nearly 5 MILLION Americans took to the streets to make their voices heard against the rise of authoritarianism. It was inspiring. And I was so proud to be one of them.
The way agents treated Senator Padilla is what you see in totalitarian regimes. It is outrageous that Secretary Noem let this happen, then lied about the incident after the fact. She has proven herself to be derelict in her responsibilities.
It was sickening to see United States Senator Mike Lee use the tragedy in Minnesota to take cheap political shots, risk escalating a dangerous moment, fan the flames of division with lies while the killer was still on the loose He needs to take his posts down and apologize to the victims’ families
