Rogue 1 seems to imply that they have lost most of their power. They seem to live in fear or hiding. A few of the leaders in the command center crowd are senators - when Jyn gives her speech about “rebellions are built on hope”. And the first time we see Bale Organa he comes skulking out of the shadows. He gives off a vibe that he has been keeping a low profile for quite some time despite still being a senator.

Bale Organa’s Jimmy Smits, right? I’d forgotten he was a senator. What’s her name, the Rebellion leader, said they were going to give evidence to the Senate about the Death Star or something, which prompted the question, and I can definitely tell they’ve lost most of their power, but I was just wondering how the Rebels expected the Senate to do anything about it even if the senators had all the information about the Emperor’s evil plans.

Right (he's Jimmy Smits). The lead female senator you're thinking about is Mon Mothma. (No relation to Mon Calamari. Lol).

It seems at this point that Rebellion leaders are trying to impress upon senators that they need to annex their branch of the government from the emperor. The argument being that the senators will only become more powerless and the emperor more oppressive and ruthless. But the rumors of the Death Star only seems to be pushing them back into fearful obedience or cowardice. By the time we get to that scene I just mentioned, the senators either seem to be resigning themselves to being politically paralyzed or entering into the Rebellion. But most of them are afraid to launch a full scale attack.
