Linda McMahon and Donald Trump continue to undermine our ability to educate our children and to fight against civil rights violations and hate on college campuses. From combatting antisemitism to supporting special education, this administration’s policies have been one failure after another.

In March, Trump said that no taxpayer would put up even 10 cents for his ballroom. Now, taxpayers are covering more than half of his $600 million project. Can the president stop lying to the American people?
- PM
Another broken promise from Trump. Apparently there is no money for your health care but there is about $300 million of YOUR tax dollars for his gold-plated ballroom.

Lucas Franco and the Laborers' Union get it: you can't solve a housing crisis without building. That means cutting red tape, working with the private sector, and lowering the cost of housing for Minnesotans. That's exactly what we're going to do.

A Lowell woman waited 5 months for a wheelchair repair and ended up in the ER on a ventilator. This isn't a fluke—too many Americans are paying the price when private equity puts profits over patients. I won't stop fighting to get corporate greed out of health care.

That’s why we must pass the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act that aims to boost supply of affordable housing while lowering costs on American families. I'm proud to have authored several provisions in this package that will address the housing crisis that is hurting families across New Jersey. 2/2

Last week, I met with leadership of the Valley National Bank and Urban League of Essex County, members of the Federal Home Loan Bank of NY, to tour one of their affordable housing units in Newark, NJ. Building affordable units is crucial to addressing the housing crisis in our country. 1/2

Binance has repeatedly routed millions to Iran-backed proxy groups while also being a key backer of Trump’s crypto profiteering. I am demanding answers into Binance’s role in violating sanctions laws — and its business entanglements with the Trump family.

Trump found one cost he’s willing to share with working families: the bill for his ballroom.

I just went to the Senate floor to force Republicans on the record. They sided with Trump’s insurrectionist army and his corrupt IRS tax exemption scheme instead of hardworking American families.

Last April, Trump & Miller plotted to take away the habeas corpus rights of Kilmar Abrego Garcia & other immigrants, to aid their illegal mass deportation agenda. But our Constitution is clear: everyone gets due process. Threatening the rights of one, threatens the rights of all.

There you have it: your tax dollars are paying for Trump's gold encrusted ballroom. Trump meant it when he said your financial situation is the last of his concerns.

Millions of Americans struggle to pay for the insulin they need daily to survive. By capping monthly insulin costs at just $35, my INSULIN Act would change that. With 26 bipartisan cosponsors, we have the votes needed to pass this bill through the Senate. Let's get it done.

While Americans are paying more for health care, gas, groceries, and energy, Trump is taking more than $300 million taxpayer dollars and forcing it toward his vanity ballroom project.

The President promised the American people that his fancy new ballroom wasn’t going to be built with taxpayer dollars. Another promise he didn't keep. We've just learned that half of it is paid for by your money.

Trump says he "loves" inflation. We can tell. Since he took office, people in Hawaii are paying $872 MORE for housing, $310 MORE for groceries, and $263 MORE for gas. $4,100 MORE because Trump prioritizes anything but lowering costs for Americans.

Our system is rigged so that one man becomes a trillionaire while millions of Americans can't afford a trip to the doctor. Wealth is funneled to the wealthy while everyone else is hanging on by their fingernails. My wealth tax would level the playing field. Let's get it done.

Taxpayers will be paying $300 MILLION for Trump’s party palace. So when he said it would be privately funded, that was a lie.
