This is good for workers and good for America.
Taking this administration to court is one of our main strategies for fighting back against their lawlessness, and we will not stop fighting for the American people.

Whatever Trump and Republicans in Congress say
Here are the facts—The GOP budget goals mean they’re going to slash Medicaid or Medicare.
And all to give tax cuts to their billionaires’ club.
Democrats will never stop fighting for Medicaid and Medicare.

The acting head of Social Security admits it:
DOGE is calling the shots and taking away Social Security benefits.
Firing Social Security staff and closing offices means people lose benefits.
We'll keep fighting to protect Social Security.

This right here is why every single Democrat said “hell no” to the nomination of Linda McMahon.
Linda McMahon is an Education Secretary who personifies nails on the chalk board.
Democrats are fighting for our kids’ education.

If Donald Trump abolishes the Department of Education, it would be one of the most destructive and devastating steps he’s ever taken.
The main victims of this decision? American children.
Democrats will do everything we can to stop this and protect education.
Trump's tariffs on Canada and Mexico will raise costs for the average American family by $2,000 a year.
It will raise costs across the board on groceries, gasoline, and more.
All to pay for tax breaks for billionaires.
Democrats are fighting for YOU.

Senate Dems just took to the floor to introduce resolution after resolution using unanimous consent to fight for Ukraine & democracy and condemn Putin
These have been American ideals and values. Tonight a few Senate Republicans blocked all of them.
We must not stop fighting for Ukraine & democracy
I’m breaking down the BS Trump told you in his Joint Address.
Watch this.
Democrats are fighting for you.

I will keep fighting to protect Medicaid
DOGE’s proposed cuts to Medicaid would be devastating for rural Americans.
New York has the third-largest rural population in America, and our rural hospitals and community health centers will close if they have their way taking Medicaid away from millions of people.

I stood with @sanders.senate.gov, @murray.senate.gov, House Members, labor leaders to reintroduce the PRO Act.
With Trump—Billionaires win. Workers lose.
We need the PRO Act to empower hardworking Americans to have a seat at the table to bargain for better wages, benefits, working conditions.
Trump's so desperate to be liked by Putin that he's apparently giving Russia a huge advantage by halting intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
This intel provides early warning when Putin targets not just military sites but also civilians, hospitals, homes.

The American people aren’t going to just roll over and let Trump and the Republicans ruin this country all to give tax cuts to their billionaire buddies.
Americans across the country are organizing and mobilizing to defend health care, social security, and the livelihoods of American families.
Trump, Musk, and Republicans want to cut it so they can give tax cuts to billionaires.
Democrats are fighting for you.
Donald Trump spent over ten minutes falsely ridiculing and delegitimizing Social Security, following DOGE’s lead.
Tens of millions of Americans depend on the benefits they’ve earned from Social Security.
It’s a lie.
No matter what Trump claims, tens of millions of dead people aren’t collecting Social Security.
Trump is coming up with lies so he can slash your Social Security to give tax breaks to his billionaire buddies.
Democrats are fighting for you.

I’m proud to have chosen @slotkin.senate.gov to take on the democratic response—she knocked it outta the park.
Senator Slotkin dismantled Trump’s nonsense with clarity, with facts, and with some desperately-needed common sense.
