Elon Musk's cuts to the Social Security Administration are already delaying access to services. New Yorkers — and Americans across the country — must receive the benefits they've earned.

It was great to join aging advocates at AARP on Wednesday to discuss how to best support aging Americans and fight back against cuts to programs our seniors rely on.

President Trump is compromising the financial safety of Americans, especially seniors, targeted by scams. This administration should be protecting the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, not dismantling it. erienewsnow.com/story/52739894…

Over 8 million Americans will lose health care coverage if Republicans’ proposed Medicaid cuts are implemented.   Republicans are risking the lives of working-class Americans, children, seniors, & people with disabilities to give tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. It's disgraceful.

I'm demanding answers about how Social Security will protect seniors and their benefits.   Former SSA Commissioner Dudek ignored letters containing nearly 200 questions from Senate Democrats. Last week, we resent them to newly-confirmed Commissioner Bisignano. I expect responses.

Remember when Trump said he wouldn't cut Medicare?   Now, the nonpartisan CBO has confirmed that Republicans' “Big Beautiful Bill” will force $500 billion in Medicare cuts. That's on top of the largest cut to Medicaid in history.   It's disgraceful. washingtonpost.com/business/2025/…

Thanks to government-funded medical research, we’ve found treatments for cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and heart disease.   By slashing this funding, the Trump administration is putting American lives at risk. We must fight back. nbcnewyork.com/news/national-…

Too often, unnecessary red tape delays medical care for seniors, forcing them to wait for lifesaving treatment. It's unacceptable.   That's why I joined a bipartisan group of senators to introduce legislation that will expedite care for people with Medicare Advantage plans.

STARTING NOW: Ranking Member Kirsten Gillibrand and members of the Senate Aging Committee will hear from witnesses about the urgent need for policies that protect family farms, sustain food production, and ensure support for aging farmers. Tune in below: aging.senate.gov/hearings/the-a…

To ensure that America's farms stay strong, we must support aging farmers and invest in rural communities.   It was great to hear from witnesses earlier this week. I look forward to working across the aisle to enact their recommendations so we can strengthen our farm workforce.

Even with Medicare, the cost of prescription drugs can be astronomical, forcing many seniors to skip doses or cut pills in half to save money. It's unacceptable. That’s why I support the SMART Prices Act, which would reduce the cost of prescription drugs for older Americans.

Social Security saves lives - but don't take my word for it.   Read what one concerned constituent told me about how disruptions to the Social Security system are impacting their grandmother.

The OAA supports programs that provide nutrition assistance, meal and transportation services, caregiver support, disease prevention services, and long-term care.   We owe it to seniors to continue funding these programs. That's why I'm leading the charge to reauthorize the OAA.
