I welcome any discussion about the future of our caucus and the important work ahead. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together—55 seats and counting is an amazing result—and I have the votes to continue serving as Democratic Leader. I look forward to leading our new Democratic majority and delivering for the American people.

I’m actually referring to your 30,000 stock trades (more than all Members of Congress combined), your Qatari-gifted luxury jet, your crypto scams, your Truth Social pay to play scheme, your billionaire-funded ballroom, your insurrectionist slush fund, and your pardons for big donors—just to name a few.    Senate Democrats will ban stock trading for all Members of Congress and White House officials, and hold you and your administration accountable for all the ways your rampant corruption has made life more expensive for families.

Despite Jensen Huang’s resignation, Congress must demand answers from Mr. Huang and others at Nvidia about how they may have put U.S. national security at risk.   The Trump administration must also answer for what it did once it learned about Mr. Huang’s relationship with a suspected Chinese intelligence asset. Were government officials told not to investigate because of Trump’s relationship with Mr. Huang? What did Trump know when he personally invited Mr. Huang aboard Air Force One?   Americans deserve to know that those at the highest levels of power are putting America first, not their bottom line or their personal friendships.

Sliding Doors.
MS GOP Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith announced today:"I will not return the blue slip on the nomination of Scott Colom to serve as a U.S. District Court judge for the Northern District of MS." Colom was 1st nominated to a lifetime appt. as a federal judge by President Biden in Nov. 2022.

It’s official: Scott Colom is headed to the US Senate! 55 Democratic Senators. 12 new Democratic Senators. And it looks like one more to come. We can’t wait to get to work.

Trump was briefed over A YEAR AGO on Nvidia’s CEO having an affair with a Chinese spy. He did nothing about it. Instead, Trump took him to Beijing, took his advice to give China access to our AI chips, & accepted a $25M donation from Nvidia. We need answers immediately on Trump’s failure to protect our national security

See you soon.
Q: Schumer said he wants to put you on trial.  Hegseth: This is what happens when you put people with ideological agendas in charge of institutions.  If they want to talk about America's, or excuse me, President Trump's foreign policy and national security record. Let's do it. I'll see you there. Let's have a conversation about the success that I outlined here.

Cute tantrum. We will put Hegseth on trial and remove him from the Pentagon.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s first news conference in six months appealed directly to President Trump. Hegseth called the impeachment effort a “show trial” and defended the Iran war as doing “the tough, right thing.” wapo.st/4z7B2lN

.@SenSchumer (D-NY) on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth press conference: "The guy has no sense, no morality, no decency, no honor...Hegseth fancies himself as a patent but he's nothing more than a deranged pundit. He has to go."

This is why Americans chose Democrats to be in charge.    From his costly tariffs to his reckless war, Trump has only made inflation worse. And he openly admits he doesn’t care.    Our Senate Democratic majority will work relentlessly to bring down costs for all Americans.
US inflation rose more than expected last month, adding to the strain on households already stretched by the high cost of everyday expenses. cnn.it/4BUM1l9

I cannot imagine a more brutally nasty, incompetent, dangerous person to serve as White House Chief of Staff than Stephen Miller. This is the same guy who smeared Renée Good and Alex Pretti as “domestic terrorists” and “assassins” after federal agents murdered them. Miller represents everything Americans just overwhelmingly rejected.

The American people gave our new Democratic majority our marching orders: bring down costs, stop the chaos, and clean up the corruption in our government. We are going to spend every second of every day striving to deliver on the mandate voters sent us and prove ourselves worthy of Americans’ trust.

It was my honor to welcome our 11 new Democratic Senators, with two more hopefully on the way! They will bring essential new ideas and perspectives to the Senate, and I can't wait to work with them to lower costs, and end Trump’s corruption and chaos.

Donald Trump’s pathetic return to election denialism was inevitable. He can whine all he wants, but nothing will stop this inescapable truth: For the last two years of his presidency, Trump will face the largest Democratic congressional majorities in decades, all because he has been an unprecedented failure.

Republicans threatened to interfere with the election. Democrats prepared. Election lawyers fought back. Tens of thousands of poll watchers stood guard. And Americans made their voices heard. Our democracy is stronger than any politician who tries to undermine it.

Trump says his immigration crackdown went too far. Apparently, his solution was to put the man responsible for it in charge of the White House. That’s not a course correction. That’s a promotion.
President Trump says his administration’s deportation policy was “too tough.” cbsn.ws/4k5CJfU

Donald Trump learned nothing from his historic defeat. Stephen Miller is the architect of the most barbaric, inhumane policies of this administration. Trump couldn’t have made a worse choice. Our Democratic majorities will fight him every step of the way.
Stephen Miller is the new Chief of Staff.

Costs, corruption, and chaos were the themes of this election. We hammered Trump on all three. The results speak for themselves. Now, our Democratic Senate majority must deliver.
