I heard from families, farmers, & butchers across Upstate NY on how beef monopolies are driving up prices. I’m leading @democrats.senate.gov in the Family Grocery & Farmer Relief Act to break up meatpacking monopolies & stop these unfair practices that rig the game against working families.

When even U.S. Senators are targeted, every American should understand: no one is safe from ICE’s abuses. It’s why I’m fighting tooth-and-nail against additional funds for Trump’s rogue police forces.

Trump and Republicans are taking a break from trying to use taxpayer funds for his gold-plated ballroom and $1.8 billion MAGA slush fund to visit the Hudson Valley today.

Instead of lowering costs and helping the American people, Republicans are too busy bowing down to Trump.

Trump in 2021: To the J6 insurrectionists who attacked police, you will pay. Trump in 2026: To the J6 insurrectionists who attacked police, American taxpayers will pay you.

Americans are getting absolutely crushed by surging costs as we head into Memorial Day Weekend. Compared to last year: Hot dogs are up 12% Buns are up 20% Ketchup is up 14% Watermelon is up 17% Lettuce is up 19% Tomatoes are up 22% Gas? Up 42% from this time last year thanks to Trump’s Iran war

Trump’s nearly $2B MAGA slush fund is the most blatant act of corruption in US history. I will offer an amendment during vote-a-rama will be to block this slush fund. Trump doesn’t have to pay taxes, but he’s more than happy to give your tax dollars to his cronies, criminals, and insurrectionists.

No matter what’s in their bill, Democrats will force Republicans to vote again and again on their ridiculous priorities: Trump’s billion-dollar ballroom, insurrectionist slush fund, and reckless war Every vote will show that Democrats are standing up for America, while the GOP sells out to Trump

Republicans are helping Trump STEAL from the American people to fund his ballroom and his MAGA slush fund. Democrats will offer amendment after amendment to lower costs on everything from health care to groceries to gasoline. The contrast could not be clearer.

Democrats are going to force Senate Republicans to vote on amendment after amendment about Trump’s ballroom, about Trump’s corrupt slush fund, and the rising costs of Trump’s war. They will not be able to hide.

Trump’s DOJ granted him and his family immunity from tax audits, giving his family a license to commit tax fraud. Trump doesn’t have to pay his taxes. Meanwhile he’s using American tax dollars to line the pockets of his family and his far-right cronies.

Trump says his billion-dollar, gold-plated ballroom is “a gift to the United States of America.” Let’s call it what it is: an insult to every American struggling to make ends meet.

Who’s having the worst week? Senate Republicans or Donald Trump? Hard to say when it’s only Wednesday and they’re all in a downward spiral where every day feels like a new rock bottom.

For the EIGHTH time, we will be bringing our War Powers Resolution to the floor to end Trump’s war with Iran. Republicans have a choice to stop catering to Trump and end this deeply unpopular war. They must vote yes.

Trump’s war has cost the American taxpayer AT LEAST $29 billion. The war in Iran has cost Americans financially, causing inflation to spiral out of control, gas prices to skyrocket, and grocery costs to climb.

Trump’s moving forward with his plan to sell AI chips to Chinese companies linked to the Chinese military. Giving China access to this premier US technology is dangerous and threatens our lead in the AI race that will shape the global economy for decades.

Trump must not sell out Taiwan, period.

The Trump administration has put working Americans in an untenable economic situation. If Ballroom Republicans won’t think about the suffering of the American people, then they better start thinking long and hard about their own political futures.

Americans are paying over $4.50/gallon for gas because Trump refuses to end this war. If Republicans care at all about lowering costs and defending our troops, they will support Democrats’ War Powers Resolution to end this war with Iran.
- CS
“Uncertainty.” “Stress.” “Dread.” These are the words Americans used to describe the economy right now. All because of Donald Trump’s costly tariffs, disastrous war with Iran, and failed economic agenda.

Each month Trump’s war drags on, the pain increases for American families. Republicans must vote with us this week to end the war and bring down these Trump-induced, skyrocketing costs.

Trump dragged America into an illegal, costly war without any goals or endgame and has the nerve to call it a “mini-war” The best way to lower costs and end the chaos is to end this war Democrats are forcing a 7th vote on our War Powers Resolution to withdraw U.S. troops from hostilities with Iran

Americans don’t want this ballroom blitz—they want this Congress to bring down costs.

The Trump admin sells out ranchers, again. Foreign meatpackers thrive; American consumers and ranchers suffer. You want to lower costs? Break the beef monopoly, rein in foreign corporations, and restore competition. I’ve got a bill to do just that. www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Donald Trump had another meltdown about me yesterday. Why? His war is failing. His tariffs have led to skyrocketing prices. His poll numbers are plummeting. We will not let him intimidate voters at the polls in November. His incoherent rants do not phase us.

Senate Democrats will fight the Ballroom Republicans and their out-of-touch reconciliation bill that funds Trump’s vanity projects with taxpayer money while neglecting rising health care costs and gas prices faced by millions of Americans. We will use every tool available.

Gas is almost $5. Trump’s Big Oil donors are making $30 MILLION PER HOUR. And they’re laughing in our faces all the way to the bank. Just another reason we must immediately end this war.

The Big Beef monopoly is crushing Americans. The DOJ heeding my call to investigate the meatpacking industry is a good first step, but results are urgently needed to lower costs. We must go further and pass my bill that would break up the beef monopoly once and for all.

GAS PRICES ARE $4.39 AND CLIMBING I stood at a gas station in Upstate NY with veterans, farmers, and families paying the price every time they fill up. This is Trump country. They don’t want to pay for his reckless Iran war. They’re saying: enough. End the war. Stop the pain at the pump.

That’s bullshit. This is an illegal war and every day Republicans remain complicit and allow it to continue is another day lives are endangered, chaos erupts, and prices increase, all while Americans foot the bill.

Hegseth and Trump call their war with Iran an “astounding victory” 13 American servicemembers have been killed. 400 have been wounded. The Pentagon says it’s spent at least $25 billion. This is not a victory. They need to roll up their sleeves & bring a diplomatic end to this mess.

Inflation rose to 3.5% in March—the highest rate in almost three years, and Trump's making things worse with Iran’s war compounding the increase in prices. People are paying more. All because Donald Trump.

It’s about time. Speaker Johnson just passed the bill that Senate Democrats and Republicans passed unanimously 36 DAYS AGO to pay TSA, FEMA, and CISA employees through the fiscal year. Over a month of unnecessary pain for millions of Americans brought to you by the @houserepublicans.bsky.social.

Trump can't win the election except by rigging it. He said it himself. And that’s exactly what the right-wing is trying to do, from gerrymandering, to the SAVE Act, to attacks mail-in voting, and more. We will not let them rig the system.
