Standing in front of the site of his $1 BILLION, gold plated, taxpayer funded ballroom, Trump tells working people that an over $1.00/gallon spike in gas prices is 'peanuts.' Trump first, working Americans last. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Nuclear reactors in the Middle East have been attacked many times during Trump’s reckless war on Iran. Yet Trump wants to build more in Saudi Arabia, without the strongest safeguards. This is a nuclear disaster waiting to happen. We should not build nuclear plants in war zones.

Donald Trump is getting a $1.8 billion slush fund, paid for by YOU. To do what? Fund the guys that rioted and beat up police officers? It’s unbelievable.

President Trump is setting up a slush fund using your taxpayer dollars to give payouts to January 6 insurrectionists.

Clean water is a basic right. This dangerous effort to roll back water quality protections will only allow more harmful chemicals into our drinking water — putting Americans' health at grave risk.

President Trump's apparent capitulation to the Chinese government on this issue makes it even more urgent that the Senate passes our bill immediately. We need to protect America's land and our national security.

Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet and I have a bipartisan bill to prevent CCP purchases of Michigan's farmland, which has passed the House in the Farm Bill.

While we are still learning the full results of President Trump's summit with President Xi, this is a clear step backward and a full 180 from his first term. American farmland should be for American farmers -- not for the Chinese Communist Party.

Today, I asked acting-AG Blanche if a convicted pedophile & Jan 6 rioter would be eligible for his & Trump's $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund. The fact that he can't rule it out is obscene.

Finally. The Senate just took a step in the right direction to stop Trump’s illegal war with Iran that’s created a cost of living emergency for folks at home. Congress needs to assert its constitutional duty and do what the President won’t—help Americans and end his war of choice.

I am pleased to see the Senate finally step up to its constitutional duty and advance a resolution requiring Congress to approve further military action against Iran. Consumer prices are up, Iran’s regime hasn’t moderated, and service members are at risk. We need oversight of this war now.

NEWS: The Senate voted today to put a check on President Trump’s power — and give Congress the say in bringing his war in Iran to an end. I’m grateful to all my colleagues, including 4 Republicans, who joined us in reaffirming Congress’s constitutional authority over going to war.

Trump’s Iran war is expensive, chaotic, and illegal. This is where we should’ve been 3 months ago. I call on my colleagues to vote to end this war when it comes to the Floor.

Finally, after weeks of pleading with our Republican colleagues to listen to their constituents and do their constitutional duty, we earned the support we need to rein in this reckless war. It’s overdue, but this is the first step toward stopping this illegal war that’s raising everyone’s costs.

It took two and a half months, tens of billions of dollars, 13 dead American servicemembers, 8 votes, and skyrocketing gas prices before enough Republican Senators stood up and said no to Trump’s disastrous war of choice in Iran. Finally.

Today, Senate Democrats once again forced a vote to demand an end to this unconstitutional war. After seven failed attempts, I am thankful that my Republican colleagues have joined in bringing our War Powers Resolution to the Floor and exercising our constitutional responsibility to declare war.

That’s how we won. And that put Republicans on the spot — to throw in the towel or own more mischief to fund the Trump billionaires ballroom.

The day after we argued, the Parliamentarian ruled that the White House was in the jurisdiction both of EPW (public buildings/grounds) and ENR (national parks).
- SW
ENR Committee Dems argued similarly that ENR has jurisdiction over “national parks” and “historical sites,” but also received no instruction.
- SW
The Republicans’ problem? There was no reconciliation instruction to EPW, so if there was EPW jurisdiction, the ballroom measure was defective.
- SW
EPW Dems argued the case for EPW’s jurisdiction over White House construction and federal public buildings. We argued that the Public Buildings Act requires EPW approval of projects exceeding $3.9 million. Which it does.

NEW report shows Trump is spending $1 billion a day on war with Iran while military families pay the price at home. With sky-high grocery prices, military families are relying on local food pantries and emergency grocery support programs to put food on the table. Disgraceful.

Why should any American taxpayer tolerate the Department of Justice’s new $2 billion Trump slush fund?

We're at war in Iran. Inflation is rising. It costs $100 to fill your gas tank. Energy, housing and health care costs are skyrocketing, and Trump won't stop yapping about his ballroom.

Trump’s slush fund for his J6 buddies is one of the worst cases of corruption I’ve ever seen. He is literally using your money to pay criminals while you struggle to buy gas and groceries.

No one should be using their position in government for their own self-interest – and Trump is doing it right out in the open. It’s corruption, plain and simple.

Donald Trump wants to use $1 billion of YOUR tax dollars to pay for his ballroom. He’s traded millions in stocks with companies his own Administration is promoting. Now, his Department of Justice wants to put $1.7 billion of YOUR tax dollars in a slush fund that he gets to give out to his buddies.

Trump made over 3,500 stock trades and then used his position as president to influence the market. He is making millions while working people struggle under his corrupt leadership.
