•    "While Donald Trump sends $40 billion to Argentina, I’m proposing sending American seniors on Social Security an extra $200 a month to offset higher prices. The cost of everything from coffee to beef to health care is up, in large part due Trump’s chaotic tariffs, and Democrats are fighting to deliver some financial relief and lower costs for Americans. This new legislation to expand Social Security is an emergency lifeline for seniors struggling to afford Trump’s tariffs and rising inflation." Source: Sen.

•    "Americans deserve to retire with dignity, not spend their golden years just trying to get by. Our seniors have worked hard their entire lives and paid into Social Security, but benefits simply haven’t kept pace with rising costs. This legislation would help ensure that older Americans don’t have to choose between paying for medication and buying groceries by putting more money back into their pockets. As the top Democrat on the Senate Aging Committee, I’m committed to passing this critical bill and ensuring our seniors can age with comfort and security." Source: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (Democrat, New York) 

•    "Seniors, families and Americans with disabilities can’t keep up with the higher costs Donald Trump is inflicting on the country. Trump has fanned the flames of inflation and passed out tax breaks to billionaires, betraying his promises to lower costs yet again. Democrats are fighting back to help seniors afford basic necessities while Trump refuses to lift a finger." Source: Sen. Mark Kelly (Democrat, Arizona)
