If you can’t get the Social Security you earned because Trump's cutting Social Security staff—that’s a benefits cut If you can’t get answers to your questions or get an issue resolved because no one can take your call—that’s a benefits cut Dems are fighting for Social Security
In a little over one month—Trump, Musk, and Republicans have set in motion the greatest transfer of wealth in favor of billionaires we have seen in modern times. Nothing Trump says during his address tomorrow will change that fact. Democrats are fighting for you.
Trump is pillaging your wallets and wrecking your 401k with his misguided tariffs to give tax cuts to his billionaires’ club. Democrats will not stop fighting for you, for our economy, for your retirement.
It is my profound honor to welcome Orna Neutra and Ruby Chen to the Capitol tomorrow. Both Omer Neutra and Itay Chen, their respective children, were murdered and taken hostage by Hamas on October 7.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are trying to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - the agency that helps you if you get scammed. @senatedem.bsky.social are united in defending the CFPB, which has already returned more than $21 billion to families cheated by Wall Street.
Republicans are trying to gut Medicaid so they can give tax breaks to their billionaire buddies. I spoke with thousands of New Yorkers worried about Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid. These New Yorkers were so energized, and we’re ready to fight side-by-side for health care.
I talked with thousands of New Yorkers worried about the attacks from Republicans on Medicaid. Health care advocates. Union members. Concerned New Yorkers from across our state. I'm fighting for them. And we talked together about how to organize to make Americans' voices heard.
