Republicans are trying to cut costs by punishing the poorest in our country. That’s not the America that I believe in.

Senator Ruben Gallego

@gallego.senate.gov

Trump is bragging about $900 billion in "deals" with Japan and South Korea but there's no signed agreement, no real money, and no proof. We have to make sure this isn’t another scam to make himself look good while he screws over Americans.

$200 million for Trump’s large, fancy White House ballroom. That’s what DOGE was for. Not to save money for you. To give money for some fancy place for Trump.

The Senate Banking Committee passed its first housing bill in over a decade. It'll boost housing supply and lower costs. Time to get this done. And we must do more — including taking on consolidation in the housing sector and corporate landlords that hike up prices on families.

So much for tariffs being paid by foreigners. What a scam. Chinese car companies snickering.

As President Trump strips health care away from millions of Americans and burdens working families with higher costs, he plans to build a $200 million ballroom for himself and his billionaire donors. This is an unbelievable display of excess and abuse of the presidency.

Trump plans $200M overhaul of East Wing in significant change to White House

The project to construct a massive ballroom fulfills a wish for Trump, who has long disliked the tent pitched on the lawn to accommodate large-scale events.

Senator Chris Van Hollen

@vanhollen.senate.gov

Remember when Trump told Big Oil he'd deliver their wish list if they gave $1B to his campaign? Well, his billionaire tax giveaway gave them an $18 BILLION windfall — while gutting Medicaid. A corrupt bargain through and through and another betrayal of the American people.

Candidate Trump Promised Oil Executives a Windfall. Now, They’re Getting It.

Today, Senate Appropriators advanced over $4B for #LIHEAP, rebuking Trump's move to end the program. LIHEAP helps RIers lower their energy bills, beat the summer heat, & stay safe from cold in winter. I'll keep working to lower costs for working families & those in need.

Elizabeth Warren

@warren.senate.gov

It’s on Republic Services to keep our communities clean and return to the negotiating table. Workers requests are simple: better treatment, fair wages, and stronger labor protections. I’m with them all the way. When workers fight, workers win.
