This rollback is a blatant attack against the long-term health of our public lands. It is a slap in the face of participatory democracy! The West is drying up before us, and the Trump administration wants to undo these protections anyway. (1/2) www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/c...

I wish President Trump spent this much time and energy trying to lower Americans’ costs instead of wasting more money on yet another vanity project in D.C.

I just secured $1 billion for two major infrastructure projects in New York and authored strict provisions that will force the Trump administration to release the funds. It's time to put an end to Trump's destructive delays and make sure our federal dollars are used to build a stronger New York.

Pres. Trump’s unauthorized, senseless war with Iran is sending your costs soaring. Gas, groceries, clothing, & housing costs all keep climbing because of Trump & GOP. And they have no plan to fix it. Republicans must work w/ Dems to lower prices & fix Trump’s failing economy.

Trump and Hegseth started a war with no clear goal or plan, and now they don’t want anyone even questioning their decisions. That’s what this is about.

Inflation is outpacing wages for the first time in three years, and Trump wants $1 billion of your money for his golden ballroom.

Americans are taking out loans for groceries, clothing, and other basic needs. Families should not have to go into debt just to get through the week. This is Trump’s economy, and working people are paying the price. thehill.com/business/583...

Families across the country are having to choose between keeping the lights on and putting gas in their cars. But sure. "The most energy affordable nation in the world."

Instead of changing his policies, Donald Trump is trying to change the shape of the electorate. That's what wannabe dictators do when they feel their grip on power slipping.

One in five Americans lost their ACA health insurance because they couldn’t afford their premiums. Trump and MAGA Republicans killed the tax credits that made coverage more affordable. Now, American families are paying the price. We must restore the tax credits before more people become uninsured.

A truly heartbreaking reality under Trump: Mothers are starving themselves so they can afford to feed their children. Trump cut food assistance for American families to give tax breaks to billionaires.

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.

This is Trump’s war tax on you: Higher gas prices. Higher grocery prices. Higher inflation. You’re paying for it - all because he started an illegal, costly war with no plan.

President Trump owns this increase. His war with Iran has skyrocketed oil and gas prices with no end in sight. Trump’s recklessness is costing Americans at the pump and at the supermarket.

Americans wanted prices to come down. Then, Trump started an unnecessary war with Iran that has killed U.S. servicemembers and is driving prices even higher. How much more pain is he willing to inflict on the American people? apnews.com/article/us-i...

Republicans don't want to talk about gas prices, just like how they don't want to talk about skyrocketing healthcare premiums or rising grocery bills. They're too scared to stand up to Trump, and the American people are paying the price.

12 days after gutting the Voting Rights Act, SCOTUS has turned back the clock in Alabama. Like Louisiana, this will dilute Black voting power and dismantle protections needed to fight discrimination. Another dark day for our democracy.

Trump’s ballroom is another example of this administration’s misplaced priorities. Americans see that — and they don’t support it.

Trump and his family have made BILLIONS from crypto schemes. It's corruption on full display. I wrote the End Crypto Corruption Act to stop the grift—I'm fighting to get it passed!

Help with daycare? Too expensive. Healthcare you can afford? Nope. But paying his friend millions of taxpayer dollars to paint the bottom of the Reflecting Pool? Absolutely. The corruption never ends.

While millions lose their insurance thanks to Trump & Republicans' decision to slash Medicaid & ACA tax credits, corporate hospitals are jacking up prices. Let's end the system that allows corporations to rake in huge profits from sick people. It's time for Medicare for All.

The Minnesota Legislature voted to establish an independent Office of the Inspector General to investigate fraud - the bill passed with strong bipartisan support in both the House and Senate. This is an important step in rooting out fraud and holding government accountable.

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.

As gas prices rise and the cost of living climbs because of this reckless war, this Admin is asking taxpayers to spend another $1 BILLION on a ballroom. Hardworking Americans are struggling to get by while this White House treats taxpayer dollars like Monopoly money.

President Trump promised his White House ballroom wouldn’t cost the American taxpayer a penny. Now, he’s pushing Republicans in Congress to allocate $1 billion for its construction. Just another one of his broken promises.

Republicans are racing to give Trump $1 billion for his ballroom & Trump is spending your tax dollars—not to lower your costs—but to repaint the Reflecting Pool. Are Republicans going to say anything or keep silently bending the knee?

I sat down with @RefugeesIntl to discuss concerns about Trump’s reliance on third country deportations and the impact of cuts to humanitarian aid. This moment is defined by anxiety and urgency. Strengthening human rights and creating opportunities for all people makes America more secure.

(10) When the reckoning comes (and it will), our sleeping watchmen will be less culpable than the creeping burglars, but not without sin. It matters to speak up now about this massive enterprise of climate denial fraud and dark money corruption.
- SW
(9) While they were at it, the fossil-fuel billionaires packed and captured the Supreme Court, so that its every regulatory decision helps the polluters and their “free-to-pollute” business model. Look no further than the leaked Clean Power Plan memos ONLY considering polluter costs.
- SW
(8) On our side, we have almost no infrastructure to track and expose that armada. The creepy front groups are played like piano keys, and most people don’t even see there’s a piano.
- SW
(7) A massive creepy bestiary of influence has emerged to prey on us: superPACs, twinned 501c3s/501c4s, identity-launderers like Donors Trust, captive business groups like the Chamber and NAM — a corrupting armada of literally hundreds of front groups.
- SW
(6) But those of us in politics sure do. Bipartisanship on climate, common beforehand, was killed dead by the 2010 Citizens United decision when it unleashed all that fossil fuel dark money. Politics has never been the same.
- SW
(5) An unjustified subsidy that big creates a massive motive to meddle in politics. If fossil fuel spends $70 billion a year on corrupt political influence, it’s still a 10-1 payback on their investment. You don't see it all because so much is hidden “dark money.”
- SW
(4) If that subsidy weren’t protected by politics, it would create a big incentive for products to reduce the harm. A $100/ton pollution fee creates a $99/ton incentive to innovate and reduce the harm. The “free-to-pollute” subsidy kills that incentive.
- SW
(3) As a subsidy, this is a big one: the International Monetary Fund pegs it north of $700 billion per year, just in the United States. That means $700 billion in harm annually we all have to absorb.
