Ukraine continues to amaze the world with its courage and its cunning mastery of drone technology, allowing it to stand up and even intimidate “Mother Russia.” But the Trump Administration obviously prefers to see Putin as victor. Help aid Ukraine by joining this event Sunday May 24 in Hudson NY.

A blind man was left to fend for himself on a bitter February night by Donald Trump’s DHS. His death was just ruled a homicide. This was a failure of basic humanity. The Erie County District Attorney is investigating. Anyone found responsible must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Older Americans are being forced to drop health care coverage as costs soar, delaying important testing until they qualify for Medicare. This is Trump's legacy: www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

Rising health costs push some middle-aged adults to skip the doc until Medicare
Adults ages 50 through 64 saw health care costs skyrocket after Obamacare subsidies faded. Now some are delaying care until Medicare kicks in.

The cruelty is the point. Trump’s goal is to distract you from rising gas prices, his aimless war, ICE abuses, and the Epstein files. Don’t give him what he wants. And may Robert Mueller, a US Marine and lifelong public servant, rest in peace.

ZERO Republican Senators voted to fund TSA. This is the seventh time Republicans have blocked pay for TSA. Seven. Times. They would rather hold TSA hostage to try to force billions more for an unrestrained, out of control ICE. Despicable.

Donald Trump lied. No other leader in the Administration—not even Pete Hegseth—is claiming Iranian tomahawk missiles were responsible for the bombing that killed 170 people at an Iranian all-girls’ school. There needs to be a full, INDEPENDENT, and transparent investigation.

Trump has not only failed to bring down prices, he’s actively making it worse. Inflation was up again in February—and that’s before Trump’s reckless war that will only drive prices even higher.

Let me say it again: The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of American citizens. Not non-citizens, not undocumented immigrants - AMERICAN CITIZENS. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances. No amount of whining from Elon Musk will change that.

Everything is more expensive under Trump: ➡️ He drove up grocery prices with the Trump Tariff Tax. ➡️ He drove up health care premiums when he refused to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits. ➡️ Now, he's driving up gas prices with his reckless attack on Iran.

One of the most damning things I’ve found is this: NYSEG sent $450 million to Spain, knowing full well they’d turn around a few months later and try to stick Upstate ratepayers with the bill. That’s a shakedown.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

Due to Donald Trump’s reckless war of choice, gas prices have surged to their highest levels in years. His response? “If they rise, they rise.” He couldn’t care less. Today, I demanded Trump release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve IMMEDIATELY to bring relief to Americans at the pump.

The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people. If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

President Trump said  “if they rise, they rise” about gas prices he sent soaring, while families pay the price. He bragged about cheap gas at the State of the Union. First, it was his tariffs. Now, it is his war that nobody wanted. Americans continue footing the bill for Trump’s bad decisions.

Ground beef is up 11%. Coffee is up 14%. Rent is up. And thanks to Trump's tariffs, American families are spending over $1,700 more this year—that is a heck of a lot of money when folks are struggling to pay bills. Trump has no plan to fix any of this and is only making it worse.

Thanks to Donald Trump and Republican’s Big Ugly Bill, the Medicare trust fund will run out 12 years sooner than before. In other words, Trump has accelerated Medicare's demise by more than a decade with one single bill.
