I just brought legislation to the Senate floor to restore ACA tax credits for 3 years. This legislation passed the House with bipartisan support. Senate Republicans said NO, ensuring health care costs continue to spike for millions of Americans. We are not going to stop fighting.
Donald Trump once again tried to gaslight the American people about the affordability crisis. In a rambling speech attempting to show he cares about the struggles of ordinary Americans, he called it a FAKE. Tell that to anyone who actually has to work for a living.
Trump’s naked political attack against Jerome Powell and the Fed is so dangerous that even Republicans are whispering in the hallways about their concerns—but actions speak louder than words. Republicans should step up and use their oversight powers to bring the DOJ to heel.
BREAKING: I'm headed to the Senate floor to move to pass legislation passed by the House last week to extend the ACA premium tax credits for three years. The American people need relief, and today we have a chance to deliver it.
Happy Korean American Day! New York is home to one of the largest and most vibrant Korean American communities in the nation. For 123 years, Korean Americans have shaped our culture, businesses, and neighborhoods, enriching the fabric of our state and country.
The Senate has already voted four times on a bipartisan basis to reject Trump's illegal trade war. No blank checks for Donald Trump’s endless trade wars. No blank checks for senseless tariffs.
Trump’s tariffs are an illegal theft of Congress’ authority over trade and tax—the Supreme Court should strike these harmful and senseless tariffs down.
THIS WEEK: The Senate will vote to pass our war powers resolution and affirm Congress' constitutional authority on matters of war and peace. Will Republicans stand with the majority of Americans who don’t want another endless war?
The President is clearly angry that his own policies have been a disaster for our economy. If Trump wants someone to blame, he should simply look in the mirror.
Anyone with two eyes and half a brain knows exactly what the DOJ’s criminal probe into Jerome Powell represents: a brazen attempt by Donald Trump to weaponize the DOJ and bully America's central bank into submission.
Jay Powell and the Fed aren’t the reason Trump’s economy and his poll numbers are in the toilet. If he’s looking for the person who caused that he should look in the mirror.
Donald Trump’s assault on the Fed’s independence continues, threatening the strength and stability of our economy. This is the kind of bullying that we’ve all come to expect from Donald Trump and his cronies. Anyone who is independent and doesn’t just fall in line behind Trump gets investigated.
It was an incredible honor to meet Rabbi Ulman of Bondi and Ahmed al-Ahmed, the hero who saved countless lives during the antisemitic terrorist attack at Bondi Beach. Ahmed is a role model for us all. We must continue to fight antisemitism, hatred and bigotry wherever it rears its ugly head.
Trump’s economy is leaving workers behind. As families grapple with the surging cost of health care and the cost of everyday life keeps going up, it’s harder than ever to find a job.
A post from Heather Long reads: JUST IN: The U.S. economy added only 50,000 jobs in December and a meager 584,000 jobs in all of 2025.
That's the worst year for job gains outside of a recession since 2003. And nearly 85% of the job gains happened by April. There was little hiring the rest of the year.
Unemployment rate: 4.4% in December, up from 4% in January•
Wages: 3.8% wage growth in 2025, which is above ~ 3% inflation.
Senate Democrats want to lower your costs and tackle the affordability crisis. Senate Republicans want to aid and abet Donald Trump’s adventurism in Venezuela and risk yet another endless war. The contrast is clear – and the American people are with us.
