Under President Trump, the Republican agenda has failed so spectacularly that rather than touting their accomplishments, they're attempting to gaslight the American people about the scale of their failures.

DHS spent millions in taxpayer dollars on Trump campaign ads. @booker.senate.gov is right: Americans see it as more of the same corruption from the Trump administration. And Senate Republicans enabled it by blocking a bill to stop taxpayer dollars from funding political propaganda.

Trump kicked millions off Medicaid and cut kids’ food benefits to pay for tax cuts for his billionaire friends. Now he's promising $5,000 checks if Republicans keep Congress. Americans know when they’re being sold a bill of goods. Their votes aren’t for sale. @captmarkkelly.bsky.social

No matter how Trump and Republicans spin it, September’s job report shows an economy moving deeper into crisis. Higher costs. Higher unemployment. And American families are paying the price for Trump and Republicans’ failed agenda.

$20 million in taxpayer money — pulled from DHS — to run propaganda ads promoting Trump.That same money could pay the electric bills of 12 million Americans for a month. —@hassan.senate.gov

Trump's favorite word is tariffs. He loves inflation. He wants housing costs to go up. And now he's cutting funding for housing and health care research — money he already signed into law. @murray.senate.gov: "This is theft from the American people, plain and simple."

Trump is trying to cancel $800 million in funding he signed into law. Yet he wants to increase the Pentagon budget by 40% and “restart bombing after the midterms." WATCH @kaine.senate.gov: “this is about priorities.”

@rosen.senate.gov tried to pass legislation simply stating that Trump's trade war against Canada must end. Republicans said no. A drop in Canadian tourism. $3 billion less in U.S. spending. Hospitality workers losing shifts and tips. "This was 100% avoidable. None of this had to happen."

Americans deserve confidence that their representatives are making decisions in their best interest. Instead, Republicans are pushing a toothless stock trading “ban” — written to exempt the one person who made more trades than all of Congress combined: Donald Trump. Via @padilla.senate.gov

By restricting access to care, the Hyde Amendment worsens health and economic outcomes for women with low income and women of color.

On the 50th anniversary of the Hyde Amendment, we cannot forget that denying Medicaid funds for abortion care has created a two-tier system that worsens systemic poverty and racism.

Something is deeply wrong when Trump’s net worth is skyrocketing but families across the country can’t afford gas, groceries, and health care. Donald Trump’s culture of open corruption is leaving Americans out to dry while he and his friends get rich.

Ahead of this week’s meeting with China, President Trump has said he will consider allowing Chinese automakers to set up shop and build cars in the U.S. If that happens, it is the beginning of the end for U.S. auto manufacturing. That is not going to happen on my watch as a Michigan senator.
