Opportunity Starts at Home This new housing agenda is full of ideas from @SenateDems to tackle the housing affordability crisis by working to reduce rent, boost home ownership, stop predatory corporations, supercharge construction, and provide housing security for all Americans
Democrats are unveiling a new housing agenda to tackle the housing affordability crisis: —The median price of a home has increased 55% since COVID —Rent prices are up more than 30% —The median age of a 1st-time homebuyer is 40 —America is short millions of homes—increasing costs
A major Verizon outage yesterday affected 100,000+ Verizon users. At a time of high costs, consumers must always be automatically compensated for service disruptions, fully and completely—not just a courtesy or suggestion—and the FCC has a responsibility to require just that.
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.
