Trump is spending billions of YOUR dollars on his war in Iran. I asked you what you’d rather see your hard-earned money spent on. Your answers were clear: care for your families and communities.

l appreciate Secretary Phelan's service and I'm shocked and troubled to see his departure. We need answers immediately from Secretary Hegseth on why he continues to purge top Pentagon leadership in the middle of a war. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Every Republican who voted YES to another $70 billion ICE slush fund at 3 AM last night said NO to child care. Republicans said NO to health care. NO to helping working Americans in any way at all. I'll be making sure everyone knows it.

Trump’s dangerous, unnecessary, and expensive war with Iran could leave us with high gas prices for another six months, at least. If anyone tells you Trump could not have predicted this, don’t believe it. This was completely predictable. Trump just ignored the risk. It’s an energy disaster.

Trump just stripped union rights from more than 1,400 civilians who work at Fort Drum and at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service in Rome. He's anti-labor, anti-union, and anti-working people.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Instead, families in Hawaii have paid $3,200 MORE due to inflation under this regime. It's unacceptable.

Last night, as Republicans started the partisan process to force through funding for unaccountable immigration enforcement agencies, @warren.senate.gov and I tried to push through a measure to create an independent watchdog to rein in ICE’s violence.

Republicans know their policy positions are unpopular, so they're making it harder for Granite Staters to vote.

The Trump Administration’s crusade to dismantle our nation’s medical research infrastructure has slowed NIH spending by $1 billion, delaying or cutting research into cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. Their callous cuts are taking hope away from families.

This ruling is a total betrayal of the separation of church & state. Trump presenting himself as Christ, Hegseth's attempt to quote bible verses, & now this: Are we a democracy or a theocracy? www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

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.

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.

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.

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:

- PM
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.

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.
- EW
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.

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.
