Donald Trump’s trade war is playing Russian roulette with our economy. It will be average families and retirees who pay the price. It's no surprise consumer confidence is at its worst since Trump’s first term. Americans don't want this Trump economic chaos.
Donald Trump knows his trade war will send costs surging for the American people. He even said he “couldn’t care less” if automakers raise their prices. Spoken like a true billionaire.
A graphic shows a headline from CNN reading: "Trump says he 'couldn't care less' if auto prices rise because of tariffs. President Donald Trump said Saturday he doesn't care if automakers hike prices because of his tariffs. In fact, he encouraged them to. Asked by NBC News' Kristen Welker in a phone interview about whether he pressured automakers to avoid raising prices after his 25% tariffs on imported cars and parts go into effect, Trump denied that he told CEOs to control costs."
Donald Trump is trying to take a sledgehammer to our economy with tariffs on things Americans buy every day. The cost of groceries will go up. The cost of gas will go up. The cost of everyday goods will go up. This is money out of the pockets of hardworking Americans.
The Republicans who represent them could, if they wanted to, put a stop to the attacks on Medicaid almost immediately given how small their majority is in the house. But instead Trump and DOGE are working to kick seniors off Medicaid to give tax cuts to billionaires.
With the looming GOP threat to Medicaid funding, I headed to nursing homes and rehab centers this morning on Staten Island and Long Island to hear from their residents about their fears with these massive cuts. Those are both in Republican-held House districts.

Good. The courts are blocking Trump’s attempt to fire the financial cop on the beat protecting consumers. We stand with working families and seniors, and Trump stands with predatory lenders, scam artists, and his billionaire backers.

Trump’s dark-of-night action strips away the ability of hardworking Americans to bargain for better wages and benefits A dagger to the heart of the middle class Everything Trump does is in service to his billionaires’ club, while eroding the American dream for working families
A graphic shows a headline from The New York Times reading: "Trump Moves to End Union Protections Across Broad Swath of Government. President Trump instructed a broad swath of government agencies on Thursday to end collective bargaining with federal unions, a major escalation in his effort to assert more control over the federal work force. Mr. Trump framed the order as critical to protect national security. But it targets agencies across the government, including the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, State, Treasury and Energy, most of the Justice Department, and parts of the Departments of Commerce, Homeland Security, and Health and Human Services."
What we’ve learned about this Signal chat is shocking. We need to know if anyone in the chat used personal devices that lack government cybersecurity. We need to know if there have been other sensitive conversations on unsecure channels. @democrats.senate.gov are taking action to get answers.
Instead of accepting responsibility, Secretary Hegseth attacked the journalist. He pointed fingers. He blamed the media and hoaxes. But this isn’t a hoax. It’s very real and risked lives. Pete Hegseth should be fired.
What have Senate Republicans done while Donald Trump and DOGE take a chainsaw to Social Security? Absolutely nothing Instead, they’re moving forward with Trump’s nominee to lead the Social Security, a self-proclaimed “DOGE person.” A vote to confirm Frank Bisignano is a vote to cut Social Security
Let’s be very clear about what these layoffs represent: This is an assault on Medicare. This is an assault on Medicaid. This is an assault on families and consumers across America.
A graphic reads: The Wall Street Journal, WASHINGTON—Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he would significantly cut the size of the department he leads, reshaping the nation’s health agencies and closing regional offices. Kennedy on Thursday said the agency would ax 10,000 full-time employees spread across agencies tasked with responding to disease outbreaks, approving new drugs, providing insurance for the poorest Americans and more.
Trump’s trade war has accomplished only one thing: chaos. No details, no timeline, no plan. His trade war is sending stock markets crashing, increases prices, hurting people’s retirement, and increasing the risk of a recession.
A graphic reads: This week puts to rest any notion that President Trump will deploy tariffs using his limited first-term playbook. Assume there will be import taxes on all kinds of stuff, all the time, for all sorts of stated reasons, for years to come. Why it matters: Trump's willingness to touch the hot stove of tariffs — even at the cost of higher consumer prices, a stock market slump, and disruption to America's deepest international relationships — is far higher than any president's in living memory.
Frank Bisignano's claim to fame is cutting and shrinking the companies he’s been a part of. Social Security is already under attack—and to confirm Frank Bisignano to lead it would be a disaster. Any Republican who votes yes on Bisignano is voting to cut Social Security.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s goal is clear: Destroy Social Security from within. They're trying to make it so unworkable and so inefficient that they can justify cutting benefits and privatizing the program. And all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
What Trump and Musk are doing to the Social Security Administration ⬇️ They're shutting down 60% of local and regional offices They're laying off 7,000+ workers And they're cutting phone services They’re trying to make it unworkable and inefficient www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/pre...
