Good. The Trump chaos caused all kinds of problems with the FAA and at Newark Airport that increased delays and safety issues. That should never have been allowed to happen. I’ve been fighting for this—it is time for them to clean up this mess.
A headline from The Hill reads: “FAA says it’s taking ‘immediate steps’ to improve Newark Airport operations”
The flash firings and chaos at the 9/11 World Trade Center Health Program should have never happened. Trump and RFK Jr. put key staff and sick 9/11 first responders through a lot of pain with these gratuitous firings. Once we raised hell, they had no choice but to start fixing this mess.
A headline from the New York Daily News reads: "9/11 health workers rehired after outcry forced Trump to reverse cuts"
There is no end to the cruelty of the Republican plan. They want to rip away healthcare from millions of Americans—millions—to pay for their billionaire tax cut. Democrats will fight tooth and nail to expose this devastating plan and protect Medicaid.
A post from Jake Sherman reads:

🚨🚨BREAKING -- A new CBO analysis shows that several policies Republicans are considering for slashing Medicaid spending would lead to millions of people losing health insurance coverage.

The analysis, requested by Democrats, says that per capita caps for the Medicaid expansion population would save $225 billion in federal spending and result in 1.5 million more uninsured people by 2034. Blocking provider taxes could save $668 billion and lead 3.9 million to lose coverage, per CBO.

Read CBO's letter to Democrats here: pbwl.news/yhw
The Senate Republicans just forced through Frank Bisignano, Mr. Slash-and-Burn himself, as the head of Trump’s Social Security Administration. They own the dismantling of Social Security. They are Trump’s enablers, his collaborators, his co-conspirators.
The closer you look at the problems the Trump chaos has caused with the FAA and at Newark Airport, the more alarming the story gets. The Trump administration is putting air travelers’ safety at risk. It’s unacceptable.
Dominick from New York Allison from North Carolina Andrea from Pennsylvania Beth from Minnesota TJ from Wisconsin Amy from Texas Small business owners like them are facing the wreckage of Trump’s tariff tax and his reckless economic agenda. Hear what they have to say:
Senate Republicans just pushed through Mr. Slash-and-Burn Frank Bisignano to be Trump’s head of Social Security. Every single Senate Democrat voted no. Make no mistake: Senate Republicans own the cuts and chaos at Social Security.
Trump’s budget shows how much he’s a conman who does not care about the struggles of everyday Americans. He'd rather listen to his billionaire buddies than to the American people in terms of what the country needs.
Trump’s FAA has failed to show they’re up to the task of keeping people safe. On April 28, air traffic controllers overseeing Newark lost all communications with planes in the air for up to 90 seconds risking lives. We need the Inspector General at the FAA to conduct a full investigation.
Today, Senate Republicans are threatening Social Security by voting for Frank Bisignano. The last person we need overseeing seniors’ benefits is a DOGE fanatic who will accelerate office closures, rollbacks, and risky practices that DOGE set in motion.
I joined Sen. Markey to introduce the Small Business Liberation Act that would exempt small businesses from the chaos & uncertainty of Trump’s tariff tax hike Small businesses are the backbone of America It's time for the Senate GOP to grow a backbone and save small businesses youtu.be/hm5rbZeT98o
NEWS: As we begin National #SmallBusinessWeek, @klobuchar.senate.gov, @markey.senate.gov, @smith.senate.gov and I stood with small business owners from across the country that have been directly impacted by Trump’s tariff catastrophe.
Senator Schumer speaks at a press conference with Senators Klobuchar, Markey, Smith, and small business owners who've been directly impacted by Trump’s tariffs, May 5, 2025.
Trump and RFK Jr. have fired more than a quarter of World Trade Center Health Program staff. These cuts have nothing to do with efficiency and all to do with hurting those who risked their lives on 9/11. NY Republicans: Find the courage our heroes had and stand up to these cuts.
An image shows today's front page of New York Daily News and reads: Chuck, Gilly rip Don and RFK Jr. on health program cuts, May 5, 2025.
Instead of advancing someone who'd bring order & stability to Social Security, the GOP is backing Frank Bisignano—a billionaire CEO with zero experience in government or Social Security But he has plenty of experience in slashing jobs & downsizing! That's who they want in charge of your benefits
Frank Bisignano’s nomination to lead Social Security is another reminder that Trump’s chaos is made possible thanks to the complicity of Senate Republicans. Every Senate Republican who votes yes on Bisignano is voting to put Social Security benefits in jeopardy.
Just over 100 days ago, Trump raised his right hand and swore to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. No president has done more to disregard the Constitution and the rule of law.
It’s hard to imagine something more un-American than the sitting president saying he “doesn’t know” whether he needs to uphold the Constitution.
If Republicans actually cared about small businesses, they’d be against Trump’s tariffs. Small businesses are the backbone of our country—Republicans should grow a backbone and support them.
A post from Leader Thune reads: This week is #SmallBusinessWeek. These hardworking Americans are the backbone of our economy.
If we don't extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, small businesses will face a $600 billion tax hike in 2026, something Senate Republicans are united in avoiding.
Keeping our national airspace safe and efficient is the chief responsibility of Trump’s FAA—and they're FAILING at every turn How much has DOGE contributed to the chaos? What's the plan to replace old tech & infrastructure? What's the plan to fill FAA vacancies? We need answers
