Nearly 2 BILLION dollars for his MAGA slush fund, a billion more for his gilded ballroom, and NOT ONE serious plan to lower costs for the families forced to pay the bill.

Donald Trump thinks the federal government is his personal slush fund.

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.

It was an incredible honor to meet with the crew of Artemis II today. This team is the best of America and an inspiration to billions around the globe. And for once, Senator Mark Kelly wasn’t the only astronaut in the room!

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.

If Republicans vote against our War Powers resolution, they will continue to bear the blame for Trump’s war
- CS
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.

As you head to the store to buy those bouquets, Donald Trump has jacked up the price by over 16% with his tariffs on imported flowers — causing consumers to spend an additional $441 million. Just another way Trump is making the simple, joyful things in life that much more complicated.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day of celebrating their mothers, who should really be celebrated every day!

I am so grateful to be able to celebrate with my mom, Selma, who is less than a month away from her 98th birthday, and my wife, Iris, and my two daughters, Jessica and Alison, all great moms themselves.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible moms in New York and across America!

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.
- CS
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.
- CS
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.

Gas prices are now an average of $4.23, up FORTY PERCENT since Trump started his costly, reckless war with Iran.

It’s time for House Republicans to pass the unanimous, bipartisan Senate bill to fund DHS (except ICE + Border Patrol) NOW.

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.

Americans are working longer hours just to keep up with rent, groceries, and bills. Instead of helping them, Republicans are planning to use $400 MILLION in taxpayer dollars to fund Trump’s gilded ballroom. This is exactly where their priorities lie.

The last thing working Americans need right now is another war—let alone one that’s 90 miles south of the U.S. @democrats.senate.gov will advance another War Powers Resolution to give Republicans an opportunity to stop a looming catastrophe in Cuba.

As our nation wages Donald Trump’s reckless war, DHS is still not funded because the President’s own party is in total chaos. Instead, Trump decides to focus on a $400 million, taxpayer funded, gold-plated ballroom. This man’s values are perverse.

THIS WEEK: Senate Democrats will force a SIXTH vote on our War Powers Resolution ending Trump’s war of choice in Iran. As we reach 60 days of a reckless and unpopular war, will Republicans continue to back Trump and dig themselves deeper into this hole?
- CS
Democrats UNANIMOUSLY supported funding the vast majority of DHS, including Secret Service. We passed it in the Senate, not once but twice. It is House Republicans, not Democrats, who are blocking this funding.

Another attack on New York offshore wind by Trump. These projects would have delivered desperately needed cheaper, cleaner energy to our homes and small businesses. All this does is kill good-paying union jobs and send energy prices even higher. Despicable.

Senate Republicans just voted NO on my amendment that said this reconciliation bill should have lowered out-of-pocket health care costs for the American people. $140 Billion for ICE and Border Patrol. $0 to lower your health care costs.

Donald Trump has been offering empty promises to end his war for weeks. At 5 PM, Senate Democrats will offer his Senate Republican puppets a FIFTH chance to do just that with a vote on our War Powers Resolution.
