WATCH: President Trump has now doubled down on his slush fund. I joined @thewarningses.bsky.social to discuss my bill to stop it.

The Senate just started a “vote-a-rama”—meaning Senate Democrats will offer a long series of amendments to Republicans’ budget bill that would once again massively increase ICE and CBP spending without reforms we need to keep Americans safe.

NEW: Senate GOP just began votes on their corrupt bill to hand another $70 billion to ICE and Border Patrol. Meanwhile, there’s $0 to help you with soaring costs caused by Trump’s war. It’s outrageous. Senate Democrats will be introducing amendments all day to fight this.

Today marks 500 days of Donald Trump's presidency. In that time, he's launched a war with Iran that has caused gas prices to skyrocket, imposed tariffs that raised costs, and made life more expensive. This November, voters will be able to put a check on this guy and finally start turning the page.

Americans are struggling to afford groceries, gas, housing, and health care. Republicans have a choice: fight for working families or keep protecting Trump’s slush fund, tax fraud, and costly political agenda. Today, we will put them on the record and see who they truly represent.

Let me be Blunt: you shouldn't have to pay for Trump's pet projects, and thanks to all your calls, you won't have to. Now, the real work begins.

@warnock.senate.gov lays it plain: This administration’s economic plan is crystal clear—massive tax breaks for billionaires, tariffs that punish working families, and higher prices on your kitchen table. It’s time to fight for an economy that lifts up every American, not just the wealthy few.

The DOJ needs a leader who believes in equal justice and the rule of law — not the rule of Trump. Todd Blanche was the architect of the slush fund for Trump’s cronies, Tina Peters, and January 6 rioters. He has no business leading the DOJ. Not now. Not ever.

Democrats made sure that today's vote-a-rama happens in broad daylight because Americans deserve to see what the GOP is prioritizing over lowering their costs. We will not let Republicans force their radical reconciliation bill under the cover of night.

NEWS: Senate Republicans have started the process to give $70 billion to Trump’ mass deportation operation. ICE and CBP already have record levels of funding, but Republicans decided your tax dollars are better spent terrorizing immigrants than lowering the cost of living.

Senate Republicans just started a marathon voting session known as vote-a-rama in the Senate. Not to improve your life. Not to lower your costs. But to funnel $70 billion more to ICE and the abuses I saw at Delaney Hall. Not another dime.

We’ve seen this story before – Senate Republicans are trying to funnel billions more dollars to ICE without any reforms while too many Americans can’t afford gas, housing, health care, and groceries. 🧵

Trump is spending: $100 million on a "victory arch" $1 billion on his ballroom $1.8 billion on his slush fund $13.1 million to repaint the Reflecting Pool But nothing to lower costs for you and your family

BREAKING: Senate Republicans have just begun a marathon vote-a-rama in the Senate. Why? Not to lower health care or housing costs. Instead, they are fighting tooth & nail to give ICE another $70 billion blank check with ZERO reforms. A disgrace.

SCOTUS let Alabama use a map that lower courts found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. The right to vote is how Americans shape their future. Republicans know their ideas can’t compete on their merits, so they draw discriminatory maps to force that unpopular agenda through anyway.

Corrupt & compromised by feckless Trump fealty, Blanche is a nonstarter as AG. He leads DOJ with blindered loyalty & contempt for law. There’s no way we should confirm an AG who will continue as Trump’s personal lawyer, not the people’s.

The people of Ukraine are valiantly fighting to defend their homeland. But $400 million in aid Congress appropriated for Ukraine has been held up in bureaucratic delays. When Secretary Rubio came before the Senate, I urged him to release this much needed funding

Trump wants loyalty, not expertise. He wants sycophants that will blindly support his self-serving policies. So of course he’s making it easier to get rid of the federal workers who are there to serve our country. It’s all a part of his corruption agenda.

Trump just appointed an Acting Director of National Intelligence whose main qualification is going after Trump’s political enemies. Authoritarian and downright sinister. I’m a hell no on Bill Pulte.

Big tobacco donated big bucks to Trump’s political operation & dined at his golf club. Days later, FDA permits addictive & harmful vapes to be sold without scientific review, contrary to the law. I’m leading Senate Dems to demand answers on Big Tobacco’s scheme to hook children on this poison.

It's been 103 days since SCOTUS struck down Trump's illegal tariffs. He still has no plan to return the $1,700 he owes American families & now is trying to stiff businesses too. Trump stole this money from hardworking Americans & business owners. Release the money, NOW.

Trump and Stephen Miller built up a paramilitary force at DHS that they essentially promised immunity, and set it loose on American communities. I'm not going to write a blank check for a federal agency that refuses to distinguish between American citizens and violent criminals.

The House, for the first time, voted to halt Trump’s illegal, reckless and expensive war in Iran. The Senate did the same two weeks ago, a vote I was proud to join. The dam is breaking. GOP support for the war is evaporating. Trump must end this war now.

Trump's illegal war has already cost 14 of our servicemembers' lives and nearly $30 billion. America has paid enough. No more. It's time to end the war.
