Republicans know that Trump’s new DNI appointee is outrageous. What will it take for them to grow a spine and vote their conscience?

Trump will be in Wisconsin today, meeting with the farmers he’s been hurting with his reckless policies. Whether it's his trade war or his war in Iran, business has been so much harder for them, and this is not how we repay the folks who work hard to keep our families fed.

Federal agents killed two American citizens in Minneapolis. Tear-gassed and brutalized families. Detained thousands of children and pregnant women. How do Republicans respond? At nearly 5AM they passed $70 billion more for ICE, no questions. No reforms. No accountability.
- PW
Throughout the night and into the morning, Republicans pushed through $70 billion to ICE and CBP. They refused to make any real reforms to these lawless agencies on a rampage. I voted no.

Even one life lost to gun violence is one too many. We must do all we can to combat the gun violence epidemic that plagues our nation. During Gun Violence Awareness Month, we recommit ourselves to this fight.

I joined @duckworth.senate.gov and @robinkelly.house.gov to introduce the “Wear Orange” resolution, which would designate June 5 as National Gun Violence Awareness Day & June as National Gun Violence Awareness Month. I will proudly #WearOrange & work to put an end to this public health crisis.

Today is the 45th anniversary of the discovery of HIV. The Trump Administration’s $1 trillion in cuts is devastating health care and threatening progress to #EndHIV.

Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. I stand in solidarity with victims and survivors of gun violence in NJ and around the country. We have lost far too many of our loved ones to gun violence. We must continue the fight for common sense gun control.

Senate Republicans had a choice early this morning. They could stop taxpayer dollars from going to people convicted of assaulting police on January 6. Instead, they blocked my amendment.

In the dead of night, Senate Republicans voted to protect Trump's corruption. $1.8 billion MAGA slush fund for criminals $70 billion for rogue ICE agents brutalizing our communities Nothing to lower costs for families. All for Trump. This changes in November when we flip the Senate.

Punchline: “Every ground line of communication leading into Crimea, or going west into western Zaporizhzhia Oblast and occupied Kherson Oblast, is under Ukrainian fire control.”

Today is Gun Violence Awareness Day. While I’m glad we’ve made progress by passing gun safety legislation, we must keep working to keep our communities safe and prevent needless tragedies. I’ll keep pushing for my Virginia Plan to Reduce Gun Violence Act to become law.

Gun violence rips a hole in the heart of a community, and one that never fully heals. Today, on Gun Violence Awareness Day, may we remember the countless lives lost to this senseless violence.

At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family. That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know. I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.

Hardworking Americans are tightening their budgets. Republicans aren't. They voted to give another $70 billion to ICE with no serious reforms and no plan to lower costs for Americans. When it comes to their priorities, Republicans put the American people last time and time again.

It’s an honor to celebrate LGBTQ+ communities in NJ and around the country, this month and every month. We are better for the contributions LGBTQ+ Americans have made to our society. Happy Pride, everyone!

Americans are getting pummeled by sky-high costs—and Senate Republicans couldn’t care less. Instead of fighting to lower energy and grocery bills, Republicans spent all day and night fighting to bankroll ICE and Border Patrol. It’s Trump first, America last. Every damn time.

Cruelty is the point. Thanks to this brave whistleblower’s disclosure, we have more evidence that the Trump Admin used DOGE not just to recklessly slash government programs—they were looking for ways to purposefully hurt people, especially immigrants.

Republicans rammed through another partisan bill that does nothing to lower costs for Americans. They're giving billions of dollars to ICE and CBP without a single cent to make health care, energy or food more affordable. Republicans clearly have their priorities backwards.

Trump officials do not know whether they’ve been letting Chinese companies buy our most advanced AI chips for the past year. This is either corruption or incompetence. Either way, Commerce Secretary Lutnick needs to testify in front of Congress and provide answers.

It’s insanity to send ICE and Border Patrol another $70 billion—as they sit on $100 billion of unspent funds—and do nothing for American families. That’s why I led the fight through the night against the terrible Republican funding bill.
- AK
At around 5am, after voting all night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE $70 BILLION more in your taxpayer dollars. No reforms or changes made. We can still fight this.

Republicans just voted to give a $70 billion blank check to Trump’s ICE thugs and placed no checks on the $1.8 billion slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists. They’ll give relief to criminals but none to families.
- AK
I voted until 5 a.m. today to block Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund. Your tax dollars should not be going to Jan. 6th rioters who went after officers. And why give MORE money to ICE when they’re already bigger than the FBI? The extra 70B could instead fund yrs of health care!
- CS
Senate Republicans just passed a rotten bill that makes their priorities painfully clear: More money for Donald Trump, more power for Donald Trump, and nothing to lower costs for working families.

Senate Republicans just voted to give billions more of taxpayer money to Trump's lawless ICE operations. The American people deserve a govt that puts them first. Today, Trump & his rubber stamp Republicans once again failed them. My full statement ⬇️

Instead of doing ANYTHING to help families afford the health care or groceries, Republicans forced a marathon voting session to send ICE a $70 billion check. No reforms, zero accountability, and they rolled over for Trump—again. Make sure everyone knows it.

Today, we gave Republicans a choice: Do they want to support people who assaulted police on Jan 6th or the police officers who defended the Capitol on that day. They made their choice. Another shameful vote from Republicans to send your tax dollars to these criminals.

It’s past 4 AM and the Senate is still voting. Why? Because Republicans want to cut ICE another $70 billion check. They found money for Stephen Miller, but there’s nothing to make health care more affordable.
- CH
I just offered an amendment to prevent anyone convicted of heinous crimes — from attacking law enforcement to molesting children — from getting money from Trump's taxpayer financed slush fund. Republicans blocked it. All to please the Dear Leader. It's sick.
- CH
Senator Bill Cassidy & I are teaming up to undo Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund. As it stands the fund could reward rioters who assaulted police on Jan 6. Our amendment makes it a compensation fund ONLY for officers who defended the Capitol that day & their families.

DACA recipients follow all the rules and contribute immensely to our country. Registering every two years. Paying a fee. Completing a full background check. We just voted on *basic protections* for DACA recipients. But even that was too much for Senate Republicans.

It’s past midnight and Republicans are fighting to pass $70 billion for ICE—but they can't find a single cent to make health care more affordable. All while Trump's war and tariffs send prices surging. That's the Republican agenda: Drive costs higher. Do nothing for families.
- CS
We are still fighting back on the Senate floor. Senate Democrats will continue to hold Trump and the Republicans accountable—vote by vote.

HAPPENING NOW: Senate Republicans are trying to push through an extra $70 billion for ICE, which already has a record level of funding. This does nothing to lower costs for families. I’ll be opposing this bill.

50-49—By one vote the GOP chose to keep Trump’s insurrectionist slush fund dream alive After they fumbled around for hours, we needed one more Republican to muster the courage to end Trump’s taxpayer handout to cop beaters & felons As per usual, they were spineless www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

In case you didn't know, Republicans have put the entire Senate floor on hold so they can jam through a $70 BILLION check for ICE. After all the brutality we've seen, this is how they respond: A blank check and an absolute refusal of commonsense reforms. I'm voting NO.

I just offered an amendment to the Republican budget to finally reveal the truth about Trump’s cuts to health care. The American people deserve to know how many have lost coverage. Washington Republicans voted it down. Why are they so afraid of transparency?

This is a dangerous moment for our republic. Tonight, I’m forcing a vote to block Trump’s slush fund, championed by Todd Blanche, from sending taxpayer dollars to people convicted of attacking cops on January 6th.

Republicans want billions of dollars for ICE funding, slush funds, and billionaire giveaways. When it comes to lowering health care costs or helping families afford groceries, suddenly there's nothing left. That's the choice they're making.

Is the White House running a pay-to-play loyalty program for wealthy donors? More than HALF of the known companies bankrolling Trump's ballroom have won new or expanded federal contracts. I have a bill to stop this.

Republicans should work with Democrats to ban Trump's criminal slush fund. In law. Today. Why won't they? Because the President has explicitly said he LOVES it—and Republicans are more than willing to cut checks to violent insurrectionists with YOUR tax dollars.

While your electricity bills are going up and taking cash out of your budget, Trump is stealing out of our national wallet—using taxpayer dollars to pay for polluting, expensive, and unnecessary coal plants. We need to save Americans’ money, not give it to Trump’s fossil donors.
