The Republican bill will raise taxes on American energy: Higher electricity bills Hundreds of thousands of jobs erased China forever getting the better of America in the race for clean energy dominance They are hurting the middle class just to lower taxes for the ultra-rich
There is nothing to celebrate about Republicans’ "Big Beautiful Bill" unless you are a billionaire, or an oil company. It’s nothing more than a big fat grift.
Three years ago, 10 innocent, beautiful lives were ripped away from us in a racist mass shooting at the Tops supermarket on Buffalo’s East Side. Our hearts break for the victims, their families. We stand with the community as it continues to heal. We must, must keep working to end gun violence.
House Republicans want to name their tax bill: "Big, beautiful bill" There's nothing “beautiful” about the biggest cuts to Medicaid in American history, about cutting the largest anti-hunger program by $300B+, or about forcing kids to go hungry.
I’m heading to the floor of the U.S. Senate right now to announce that I’m placing a hold on all political DOJ appointments until we get answers on Trump's corrupt Qatari plane deal. Tune in.
Trump lectures Americans about putting up with higher prices, prices he himself triggered And then he’s accepting a $400 million private jet from the Qatari Royal Family His shameless self-enrichment is without equal in American history This is a bribe and a national security betrayal
Nothing says 'America First' like Air Force One, brought to you by Qatar. It’s not just bribery, it’s premium foreign influence with extra legroom.
A headline from ABC News reads: “Trump administration poised to accept ‘palace in the sky’ as a gift for Trump from Qatar: Sources”
There was a new outage at Newark airport this morning—Enough. Secretary Duffy needs to put Newark first in line to receive critically-needed fixes and tech so Air Traffic Control can function safely like it should. Newark cannot wait.
Trump and DOGE are trying to gut FEMA. They just fired their own acting administrator who dared to challenge them even once. And installed a new one whose plans will risk lives and hurt communities when they need help the most.
I joined Chinatown community members & leaders today whose livelihoods depend on Medicaid Republicans want to take an axe to Medicaid: It will hammer our hospitals Our nursing homes will be decimated People will lose their jobs And millions of New Yorkers will lose health care
Trump's firing 92% of staff at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. They’re a critical agency that helps factory workers, farmers, firefighters, and healthcare workers prevent work-related injury, illness, and death. It’s unconscionable, dangerous, and hurts working people.
I’m standing with @warren.senate.gov to lead Democrats in helping the lawsuit against Trump’s attempts to dismantle the CFPB. Trump’s entire slash and burn agenda is geared toward making life better for billionaires and big banks and worse for working families.
1000 measles cases. It’s no coincidence that this has happened after DOGE cancelled $11 billion that went to state and local public health departments. It’s no coincidence that this has happened after the CDC fired infectious disease experts. Trump and RFK Jr. must act to stop measles now.
We just learned that there was ANOTHER outage with the FAA in Newark this morning.   Enough.   Trump needs to get it together now and stop risking safety so DOGE can play government.
“See you in court”

That's what the fired members of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission are telling Trump. 
Trump doesn't have the power to fire members of USCPSC. 
Trump's just mad because we've worked with USCPSC to stop poorly-made lithium-ion batteries from continuing to hurt people.
A post from Alex Hoehn-Saric reads: "President Trump is attempting to illegally remove me from the CPSC. See my statement."
