We will never stop the URGENT work to bring all the hostages home from their brutal captivity at the hands of Hamas.
The images of Eli, Ohad, and Or upon their release are deeply distressing. Starved and tortured by Hamas terrorists. This is a race against time. Every hostage must come home. Now. 🎗️

The Senate GOP budget resolution is a clear betrayal of all working families They're prepared to gut health care like Medicare & Medicaid, raise the cost of higher ed, jeopardize countless jobs And that's all to pay for a costly tax giveaway to the ultra-wealthy & corporations

Trump and DOGE’s actions at USAID are illegal and dangerous for the country. This legal action is a good step to fight back.
BREAKING: In case brought by @DemocracyFwd and @Public_Citizen federal court will block Trump Admin's attempt to place 2200 #USAID employees on leave. This is a big win for our clients @afsatweets & @AFGENational and the rule of law. More details to follow.

When I stood to Vote No on Russell Vought: I told the Senate it was for the hundreds of Western New York families who have had to scramble because their Head Start closed. They tried to gavel me down.
Here’s EVERY SINGLE TIME the Senate Republicans tried to gavel us down while we stood to Vote No and tell them exactly how Americans would be hurt by Trump’s nomination of Russell Vought for OMB.

Trump and his billionaire buddies want to let polluting corporations run wild. They’re illegally stopping efforts at @EPA to reduce toxic pollution of the air we breathe and water we drink.
We were just denied entrance into the EPA after asking to meet with a DOGE representative. More to come.

Democrats have spent virtually every minute of the last 30 hours holding the Senate floor to fight back against Trump’s nomination of Russell Vought. Russell Vought’s nomination is a threat to Social Security, Medicare, childcare, funding for school lunches, and so much more.

It’s going to take a multi-pronged approach to fight Trump’s lawless agenda and today��s court decisions restricting DOGE’s Treasury access and pausing Trump’s federal employee buyout were important steps in the right direction. The law and the Constitution are on our side and we have to continue to press the fight in court, in Congress, and in the public square.

I’m standing with @SenateDems because Treasury Secretary Bessent must come back before the Senate DOGE’s hostile takeover at Treasury happened on his watch He made time to talk to House Republicans about it He has to answer for the millions of Americans who have been impacted by DOGE’s actions

For the last 24 hours: Senate Democrats have been HOLDING THE FLOOR to fight back against Trump’s nomination of Russell Vought for OMB. His policies will hurt children, seniors, veterans, and more. Confirming the most radical nominee with the most extreme agenda to the most important agency would be a disaster. Wrong person. Wrong ideas. Wrong place.

THIS from @SenTimKaine as we held the floor of the United States Senate overnight:
With Virginia’s 140,000 dedicated federal workers on my mind, I’m helping hold the floor all night in opposition to Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget Russell Vought, who says he wants to “traumatize” federal workers.

We're holding the Senate floor all night to fight back against Trump’s nomination of Russell Vought. America saw how bad OMB’s illegal, incompetent funding freeze was. We want Americans to hear EVERY HOUR how bad the dangers are that he poses to their daily lives as OMB head.
