If Congress is going to ever be #ForThePeople, we must be accountable ONLY to the people. I’m proud to join @StopBigMoney in demanding we #EndCitizensUnited. Corporations aren't people, and it's time we made that clear.

Donald Trump ran on the promise to lower costs and eliminate inflation. Promises made, promises broken.

Deeply unserious people who don’t care about actually helping Americans.

By dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Elon Musk—the richest man in the world—is opening Americans up to huge risks. We need to protect consumers, not the greedy CEOs who take advantage of them.

We are facing a childcare shortage crisis. We can’t afford for these centers to close.

The largest data breach in US history is being led by an unelected billionaire who is only looking out for his best interests—not Americans. Our national and financial security is at risk and Elon Musk is to blame.

The allegations against Eric Adams were serious and deserved real scrutiny. Dropping these charges sets a dangerous precedent and makes a mockery of our legal system. Instead of fighting for NYC, the Mayor has been busy cozying up to Trump. New Yorkers deserve better.

Elon Musk—the richest man in the world, an unelected bureaucrat who hasn’t passed a background check—was just blocked from accessing Americans’ private information through the Treasury. NY is doing our part in pushing back against this Administration.

The courts in this country act as checks and balances against corrupt presidents who ignore the Constitution. By railing against the judicial branch, the Trump Administration is trying to become a dictatorship where we all blindly follow the president.

The courts are going to be our first line of defense against the unconstitutional policies coming out of the Trump Administration. Birthright citizenship is safe for now—but the fight isn’t over.

In a time when greedy CEOs are being propped up and defended, we need the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau more than ever. Just another step in the architect of Project 2025 implementing his harmful agenda.

Asylum seekers come to our country to escape violence and persecution—and they need to be protected from Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans.

Over 150 million people are on Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and the ACA. We cannot let Elon Musk and his “DOGE” associates make cuts to these vital programs—just so he can line his pockets and the pockets of the wealthy.

Elon Musk’s team is risking our national security.
A 23-year-old representative from Elon Musk’s DOGE was granted access to the Energy Department’s IT system on Wednesday by Energy Secretary Chris Wright, sources told CNN. This despite objections from people in the agency, which controls access to info about the US nuclear weapons.

Donald Trump is trying to give more tax breaks to the wealthy, to the detriment of federal programs that help working families. This Administration is only focused on making the rich richer, not helping everyday Americans put food on the table.

The architect of Project 2025, Russell Vought, was just confirmed to be the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. We knew the Trump Administration would implement Project 2025, now we have to push back against this agenda.

It’s time to fire Elon Musk before he damages our government even more.

While Elon Musk comes after our federal agencies, there is no telling what he will come for next. Will it be your Social Security? Medicaid? If we don’t stop this unelected billionaire from continuing his path of destruction, the American people will only suffer more.

Lawmakers and courts are already violating our Shield laws by coming after NY doctors that prescribe medication abortion. I stand in support of all New Yorkers and women from other states that come to our city to receive healthcare.

Donald Trump promised lower costs on day one of his presidency. Instead of helping Americans and bringing the cost of living down, the President is focused on culture wars and sowing hatred and division in our country with bigoted policies.
Q: When will prices go down for Americans? Is it a month? A year? Leavitt: I don't have a timeline
