During National Library Week, we honor the transformative role libraries play by opening the door to new worlds of learning for everyone. As a lifelong lover of books, I hope you'll join me this week in celebrating these valued community institutions and visit your local library.

In the dark of night and over bipartisan opposition, Senate Republicans advanced a partisan slush fund for ICE that gives the agency more money than ever before while doing nothing to rein in the agency’s increasing lawlessness.

"This war has been won." That's what Donald Trump said a month ago. Does this look like winning?

Desperate to cover for his own economic failures, President Trump is trying to capture the country’s central bank by installing puppets and launching sham investigations. The Senate must not go along with it.

RFK Jr. has repeatedly lied to our Senate committee and broken promises he made under oath. So, I entered some articles into the record that my colleagues should read. Like, “GOP Senator Refuses to Face Reality About RFK Jr. After Being ‘Lied’ To.”

When I asked RFK Jr directly whether he delayed a meeting to evaluate our measles-free status, he lied. No wonder the American people don’t trust him.

I’m fighting for the foundations families need to thrive: health care, housing, education, and good paying jobs. That’s why I support the @workingfamilies.org guarantee.

Senate Republicans just blocked amendments to restore health care cuts, feed hungry kids, and lower costs for families. They have billions for ICE but nothing for working Americans. Unbelievable.

Life is becoming more difficult and more expensive for families in New Mexico and across the country. Americans aren’t asking for a blank check to fund President Trump and Stephen Miller’s out-of-control ICE and CBP. They’re asking for lower prices. This is a total betrayal.

The measure failed on a tie vote, 49 to 49, because a majority of Republicans, even some from states waiting for their own rebuilding help, blocked that relief.

States across the nation are waiting on FEMA to deliver key funding. I just offered a measure to force the release of billions of dollars that California and other states are waiting for to help with fire, flood and other recovery efforts.
- JR
Hardworking families keep saying their number one concern is the rising costs of gas, groceries, and housing but Washington Republicans voted against every measure to address them. They are out of touch with the American people and their actions are shameful.
- JR
By forcing their budget plan through the Senate with no Democratic support, Republicans made their priority clear: an additional $70 billion for ICE and ZERO dollars focused on lowering costs for families.
- CH
Today, Senate Republicans once again made their priorities clear: instead of working to lower costs and making everyday life more affordable for Americans, they are hellbent on providing a blank check for Trump’s lawless ICE & CBP operations. My full statement:

There is no excuse. None. Republicans have the votes, they have the power—and tonight they are choosing, deliberately, to do nothing for families and everything for ICE. It’s past 3 AM and they’re jamming through $70 billion for ICE and $0 for families. Spread the word.
- PM
It's 2 AM. Republicans are pulling an all-nighter to shovel $70 billion at ICE—and can't be bothered to spend a cent to save health care for the millions of Americans who can't afford insurance. Shame on every one of them. I'm voting NO.
- EM
Republicans just blocked my amendment to lower electricity costs for working people. Instead of providing economic relief for everyday Americans, MAGA Republicans want to provide billions for ICE and CBP. Disgusting.

- AK
This is a choice: Fund Trump's lawless ICE and Border Patrol or redirect that money to what the people want – lower costs across the board. To me, the choice is clear. I'll keep fighting through the night.

For millions of parents, child care costs more than rent. Moms are quitting jobs they love because they can't even FIND child care. And Republicans' response tonight? A blank check for ICE.

In Nevada, a year of child care costs more than a year of college tuition. That’s unacceptable, and why I voted YES on @alsobrooks.senate.gov's amendment to increase child care funding and give families more breathing room. Unfortunately, Senate Republicans blocked it.
- AA
Tonight, I put forward a very simple amendment: ensure no family pays more than 7% of their income on child care. I gave my colleagues an opportunity to vote on lowering costs for hardworking American families. Republicans voted it down. Shame.
- PM
If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight tonight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability. $70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs. What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.
- JR
Trump’s reckless policies have sent prices skyrocketing on everything from gas and groceries to health care. Instead of doing anything about it, Senate Republicans just voted down @hickenlooper.senate.gov’s amendment to protect Americans from rising costs.
- JH
We tried to lower costs for Americans. Republicans blocked it for more ICE funding. Priorities matter.

Trump’s tariffs and his reckless war with Iran have increased prices for all Americans over the past year. But when Senate Democrats tried to support Americans struggling because of rising costs, Senate Republicans voted it down so they could give money to mass deportations instead.
- AA
We should be able to trust the Secretary of Health and Human Services. Instead, RFK Jr. continues a pattern of denial and dishonesty. When the truth is on tape, denial doesn’t hold up. I was the first Senator to call for RFK Jr.'s removal last year, and I stand by that call today.

Senate Republicans just voted NO on my amendment that said this reconciliation bill should have lowered out-of-pocket health care costs for the American people. $140 Billion for ICE and Border Patrol. $0 to lower your health care costs.

School should be a place for learning, not a place where students are hungry. But Senate Republicans just voted against funding school lunches.
- AS
You may have heard Republicans are pursuing something called a “reconciliation” bill. Things can get a bit wonky, so let's simplify it. Here's what Republicans want: ✅Billions upon billions more $ for ICE and CBP ❌Funding to help you afford health care, food, and housing
- BL
Not only are Republicans trying to pass a budget resolution that does nothing to make things more affordable for Americans, they’ve also blocked my amendment to feed children, seniors, and veterans.

Hardworking Nevada families are being squeezed by the high costs of groceries. Senate Democrats just forced a vote on @lujan.senate.gov’s provision to help lower families’ grocery bills and reverse Republicans’ cruel cuts to food assistance programs. But Senate Republicans shamefully blocked it.
- CH
Instead of focusing on priorities people care about, tonight Republicans are using a procedural end-run to get around the will of the American people & stuff ICE & CBP with billions more of your taxpayer dollars.

Congressional Republicans made the largest cut to SNAP in history last year. Senate Democrats just gave them another chance to reverse this terrible decision as Americans face rising grocery prices. But Senate Republicans voted it down and refused to help Americans put food on the table.

Right now, in the middle of Trump's war with Iran, Senate Republicans are keeping us here all night to vote on the most pressing issue they can think of: Giving $70 BILLION more to ICE and CBP. I'm going to fight them every step of the way.

Senate Republicans are gearing up to vote all night to give ICE even MORE funding, but won't do a thing to lower your health care costs.

Tonight, Senate Republicans will begin the process to give Trump’s mass deportation operations another $140 billion. @democrats.senate.gov will be on the Senate floor all night to show how Republican leadership is putting their anti-immigrant agenda hatred over American families.
- RW
I will be on the floor of the Senate all night voting NO on yet another funding increase for ICE. ICE already has more funding than the Marines. This money should be spent on things Americans need like health care, not Trump’s paramilitary force.

Firing the Secretary of the Navy while pursuing a naval blockade in the Strait of Hormuz is yet another example of this administration’s recklessness. They didn’t have a plan when they launched us into this war and they certainly don’t have one to get us out.

NIH is the world’s research engine—driving development of treatments and cures for everything from cancer to rare diseases. Trump wants to cut $5 billion from these life-saving breakthroughs, but was happy to spend more than twice that in the first week of his illegal Iran war.

After a valiant battle with cancer, we lost my former staffer Asal Sayas. She had many friends and admirers, including me. While battling her own cancer, she worked on President Biden’s Cancer Moonshot to expand access to clinical trials. My heart is with her loved ones.

Senate Republicans are gearing up for their big push to dump billions of dollars into ICE and CBP with money they cut from YOUR health care. Meanwhile, they refuse to lower gas prices or limit Trump's war in Iran. ICE needs reforms, not more of your $$$$$.

Rural health care providers in Virginia are already making tough calls and shutting doors because of last year’s GOP budget bill—and it hasn’t even gone into full effect yet. I’m going to keep pressing the Trump-Vance Administration about the care they've threatened. youtube.com/shorts/Esx22...

Why are we having a vote-a-rama? Because Republicans would rather hand ICE a blank check instead of lowering costs for working families.
