SENATOR BOOKER HAS BROKEN THE RECORD. He’s giving a tour de force on the floor of the Senate. His eloquence in showing the hypocrisy, the danger, the disaster of the Trump-Musk-DOGE regime, he’s done an amazing job. He's channeling the emotions so many are feeling.
Reposted byChuck Schumer
Senator Schumer @schumer.senate.gov raised his voice to stand up for Medicaid and Medicare over tax cuts for billionaires. It's bolstering to see our Senators stand up and raise their voices in this moment. Let's see some more. Keep up the energy—let's go!
I took to the floor to help @booker.senate.gov because so many Americans will lose health care if Republicans have their way. Cutting Medicaid and Medicare will hurt seniors, hurt kids, and hurt veterans. And all just so they can cut taxes for billionaires. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNbr...
The leaders and staff of the Silver Lake Specialized Care and Rehab Center on Staten Island are worried every day that Trump, DOGE, and Republicans in Congress are trying to cut Medicaid. This center gives care every day to residents and seniors who rely on Medicaid.
With their threats to Medicaid, Trump and DOGE are trying to take money away from senior centers and rehab centers like the incredible Silver Lake Specialized Care and Rehab Center on Staten Island. All so they can give tax breaks to billionaires. It makes no sense.
Donald Trump’s trade war is playing Russian roulette with our economy. It will be average families and retirees who pay the price. It's no surprise consumer confidence is at its worst since Trump’s first term. Americans don't want this Trump economic chaos.
Donald Trump knows his trade war will send costs surging for the American people. He even said he “couldn’t care less” if automakers raise their prices. Spoken like a true billionaire.
A graphic shows a headline from CNN reading: "Trump says he 'couldn't care less' if auto prices rise because of tariffs. President Donald Trump said Saturday he doesn't care if automakers hike prices because of his tariffs. In fact, he encouraged them to. Asked by NBC News' Kristen Welker in a phone interview about whether he pressured automakers to avoid raising prices after his 25% tariffs on imported cars and parts go into effect, Trump denied that he told CEOs to control costs."
Donald Trump is trying to take a sledgehammer to our economy with tariffs on things Americans buy every day. The cost of groceries will go up. The cost of gas will go up. The cost of everyday goods will go up. This is money out of the pockets of hardworking Americans.
The Republicans who represent them could, if they wanted to, put a stop to the attacks on Medicaid almost immediately given how small their majority is in the house. But instead Trump and DOGE are working to kick seniors off Medicaid to give tax cuts to billionaires.
With the looming GOP threat to Medicaid funding, I headed to nursing homes and rehab centers this morning on Staten Island and Long Island to hear from their residents about their fears with these massive cuts. Those are both in Republican-held House districts.

Good. The courts are blocking Trump’s attempt to fire the financial cop on the beat protecting consumers. We stand with working families and seniors, and Trump stands with predatory lenders, scam artists, and his billionaire backers.
BREAKING: Judge Amy Berman Jackson has *blocked* the dismantling of CFPB. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...
Trump’s dark-of-night action strips away the ability of hardworking Americans to bargain for better wages and benefits A dagger to the heart of the middle class Everything Trump does is in service to his billionaires’ club, while eroding the American dream for working families
A graphic shows a headline from The New York Times reading: "Trump Moves to End Union Protections Across Broad Swath of Government. President Trump instructed a broad swath of government agencies on Thursday to end collective bargaining with federal unions, a major escalation in his effort to assert more control over the federal work force. Mr. Trump framed the order as critical to protect national security. But it targets agencies across the government, including the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, State, Treasury and Energy, most of the Justice Department, and parts of the Departments of Commerce, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services."
What we’ve learned about this Signal chat is shocking. We need to know if anyone in the chat used personal devices that lack government cybersecurity. We need to know if there have been other sensitive conversations on unsecure channels. @democrats.senate.gov are taking action to get answers.
