“The Chinese military continues its pressure campaign against our vital democratic partner Taiwan as President Trump has retreated from longstanding security commitments. … As Americans face rising prices for gas, food, housing, and more, President Trump is rolling out the red carpet for President Xi and hosting closed-door dinners so his billionaire friends can strike deals that threaten American jobs and national security. … He must stand with Taiwan and not let China veto American support for Taiwan's defense. … We can't let President Xi leave stronger than when he arrived. That is not diplomacy, it's weakness. [Joint statement by Sens. Coons, Schumer, Murray, Reed, Shaheen, Warner, Warren and Andy Kim.]
“You will pay more for your mortgage and your credit card bills because of Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump is driving up costs so much that even his sock puppet at the Fed might raise interest rates. If Trump ended his war in Iran and reversed his chaotic tariffs, inflation wouldn't be as high as it is today, and the Fed might actually be talking about bringing down rates. I want to see lower interest rates for families. I want to see them pay less for their mortgage or their credit card bills. But Donald Trump is standing in the way.
“Let's make sure that we do not pass a crypto bill that will let Donald Trump continue to rake in billions.
“If Congress is not equipped, then throw the bums out and bring in some new people who are.
“[The ethics provision blessed by President Trump is a] weak fig leaf that will do nothing to stop him from making his next $1.4 billion in crypto profits. … [The bill ensures] the law could never be enforced against Donald Trump because it gives his political appointees the power to turn off enforcement of these ethics provisions.

“It's long past time for the U.S. government to stand up for human rights, investigate this violence against Americans.
“The placement of an active-duty Public Affairs officer in the senior leadership of an organization whose credibility depends on its independence from the military chain of command raises serious questions.
“It is cruel for Donald Trump to end TPS protections for them now.
“President Trump is now the first President in history to approve, operate, and supervise his own bank. This is the most brazen act of self-dealing our financial system has ever seen — and Congress cannot allow it to stand.
“The American people deserve to know that the President is not using his office to increase the value of his stock portfolios, rather than working to bring down the cost of groceries
“The sheer volume of this trading activity and the timing of a number of transactions, raise questions about whether you are using your knowledge of government activities, your official authority, or the vast megaphone provided by the Presidency to make investments or move markets to your personal benefit—and about whether you have been making decisions that boost your portfolio at the expense of taxpayers, the economy, and national security
“Donald Trump is breaking our country’s promises to service members by tearing apart dozens of military families who were promised immigration protections. That’s just plain cruel, and it’s hurting our military readiness and morale.
“The subscription appears to be an outrageous abuse of the President's office for his personal benefit that undermines everyday investors and the integrity of our markets, while enriching Wall Street and other wealthy insiders.
