“That this administration can find endless taxpayer dollars for bombs, ballrooms, and billionaires, but cannot take care of our service members, is completely unacceptable. … The American people need hearings, accountability and a clear plan to protect our service members and prioritize American families.

“What Trump and Secretary Hegseth dismissed as 'fake news' turned out to be serious and deteriorating conditions for our service members. Our troops and their families make immense sacrifices every single day, yet the president dismissed them with open disrespect. That this administration can find endless taxpayer dollars for bombs, ballrooms, and billionaires, but cannot take care of our service members, is completely unacceptable.
“Menopause impacts over half of our population, and the fact that Congress has never held a hearing on it is absolutely disgraceful. Today's hearing was a critical step toward getting this issue front and center so that we can find the best ways to improve research, training, and care for women experiencing menopause. I am committed to working with all of my colleagues—men and women, Democrats and Republicans—to meet the moment on menopause.
“I will keep pressing the program to fix delays in certifying new conditions, clinical staffing shortages, and administrative backlogs.
“Because of Donald Trump, New York families, small businesses, and farmers will be paying record high prices this Labor Day weekend. Every time New Yorkers go to the grocery store, take a trip, or buy something, they will be paying more because of Trump's reckless war in Iran. Americans need relief, but all this administration is focused on is bombs, ballrooms, and billionaires. I won't stop fighting to end the war in Iran and lower costs for hardworking New Yorkers across our state.
“President Trump's inane executive order is a weak attempt to distract from the fact that the Trump administration has raised costs on hardworking families, caused gas prices to skyrocket, and cut the programs that Americans rely on to get healthcare and put food on the table. Instead of renaming Great Lakes for no good reason, the president should stop the political games, get back to the negotiation table, and make a deal that lowers costs for New York families. I am proud to announce this legislation to restore Lake Ontario's original name, and I look forward to getting it passed.
“President Trump is using New Yorkers as political pawns once again. New York is the leading terrorist target in the nation. As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, defunding our law enforcement and counterterrorism operations is especially egregious and unsafe. I will keep fighting to ensure New Yorkers are protected and our state receives the funding it needs to keep us all safe.
“Trump's only focus is enriching himself at the expense of the American people.
“President Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs and make life more affordable, but they've used their total power in Washington to make life more expensive than ever.
“Today, we are taking strong, joint legal action to stop Trump's unlawful attempt to restrict mail-in voting through the Postal Service. Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling did not say that Trump's executive order attacking voting rights is constitutional. But the law is clear: States have the authority to run elections — not the president. We will not stand by while Trump and Republicans try to unnecessarily inject chaos and confusion into our elections, just weeks before voting begins.
“Angie Nixon has dedicated her career to fighting for Florida. A lifelong native of Jacksonville and a former union organizer, Angie's dedication to put working families first runs deep — and now, she's running to take that fight to the Senate. Ashley Moody's votes have cost Florida, from her siding with private insurance companies over Floridians to ripping away health care. In November, Florida will have a clear choice at the ballot.
“More than four months after the strike, and after the reported submission of the investigation in April, Congress and the American people still have not received the Department's investigation and findings. There is no justification for withholding an unclassified accounting of what happened, what went wrong, and what the Department is doing to prevent recurrence.
“Trump has refused to sign a bipartisan housing bill that would lower costs for working Americans … but he’s laser-focused on building a new helipad. [Gillibrand called the project a "joke."]
“a win for billionaire donors and special interests who want more influence over the GOP agenda and an invitation for corruption
“We cannot let greed and corruption in Washington tear this industry down, and without that provision, that's exactly what will happen.
