FROM U.S. SENATOR KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND: “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. They’ve cut Medicare and Medicaid to give tax cuts to billionaires, launched a reckless war in Iran that sent gas prices skyrocketing, and pushed tariffs that are making groceries and essentials more expensive. Let’s be clear: these latest tariffs against Canada directly hit Americans. They will only increase costs on New York families and hurt our state’s small businesses. Trump needs to stop the political games, go back to the negotiation table, and get a deal done that lowers costs and strengthens our economy instead of harming it.”
FROM WHITE SPOKESMAN KUSH DESAI: “Here’s the reality: President Trump’s Great Big Beautiful Bill slashed taxes for countless working-class New Yorkers and eliminated taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security benefits. The Trump administration will continue providing more relief for hardworking Americans after Kirsten Gillibrand and Joe Biden blew trillions on COVID ‘stimulus’ spending that caused the worst inflation crisis in a generation.”
