NEW: Many of the things you buy every day would’ve been cheaper this year if it wasn’t for President Trump’s tariffs. He’s making a choice to cost you money with his trade war.

An excerpt from a CNBC article highlighting inflation from President Trump's trade policies.

The White River National Fish Hatchery has been reviving native fish species in Vermont and New York for decades. But now the Trump Administration wants to shutter it.   I’m leading a letter to protect the work that's healing our ecosystem and boosting tourism revenue.

Folks in Brattleboro have the same concerns as the other Vermonters I’ve during my Common Grounds tour. They want Congress to lower the cost of health care, energy, and housing, rather than giving tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans. I’ll keep fighting to bring us out of this affordability crisis.

The Trump Administration is slashing fuel efficiency standards for cars.

It means you’ll pay thousands more at the pump over the lifetime of your car, especially as Trump’s illegal war with Iran drives gas prices even higher. https://bit.ly/47FRL4j

It’s been three years since Israel was shaken by a horrifying terror attack by Hamas resulting in the brutal assault, torture, and killing of over 1,400 civilians, and hundreds held hostage. Today, I’m thinking of the victims, their families, and those around the world devastated by that dark day.

The Trump Administration has rolled back a Biden-era rule that added sexual orientation and gender identity protections for students. It’s a disgusting attack on the civil rights of students who want to safely learn like everyone else.

This isn't justice. This doesn't keep us safe.

Most of the children, dressed formally with neatly styled hair, waited impatiently for the judge. Among the first to appear before the judge was a 13-year-old Honduran boy named Angel. He didn’t have an attorney.

Asked whether there was a reason he couldn’t return to Honduras, Angel told the judge, “My mom and almost my entire family are here. It’s too dangerous to go back.”

But that wasn’t enough for the judge, who told the boy he did not qualify for asylum. “Would you like to request voluntary departure, or should I issue a removal order?” The judge asked.

“I don’t know,” Angel replied before bursting into tears. He stared ahead stoically and continued to cry, eventually saying: “I have no one. I have nothing.”

I’m on my way to the Senate floor to force a vote on a bill I lead with Senator Gillibrand that would end President Trump’s tariffs on Canada.

The Trump Administration’s latest refugee policy says nothing about our Afghan allies, who are stranded overseas waiting to reunite with their families in the U.S. They risked their lives to help American soldiers. We can’t turn our back on them.

10 years ago, David Levin went to jail for launching a cyberattack on Florida’s election database.   It appears that the Trump Administration just hired him to monitor elections.   I want to know why.
