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.

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.

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.

Amid the affordability crisis, what are Senate Republicans focusing on this week? Partisan legislation that would give ICE and CBP another $140 billion to fuel the President’s mass deportation campaign. That money should go toward combatting the rising cost of living instead.

Senate Republicans are trying to give ICE another $70 billion with no accountability and no transparency. I am a HELL NO on this plan, and I’ll do anything I can to oppose more funding for ICE without the guardrails that local law enforcement have to abide by.

@democrats.senate.gov just forced ANOTHER vote to end President Trump's illegal war that the American people never asked for. Republicans fell in line with President Trump AGAIN. It's long past time for Republicans to join us, stand up to Donald Trump, and end this reckless war.

Pres. Trump’s war sent gas & energy prices soaring. And his plan for lowering your costs seems to be just wait & see.

Pres. Trump votes by mail, but wants to make it harder for others to cast their ballots. Voting by mail is safe & secure and should be an option for those who need it. I’m supporting the Mail & Absentee Voter Protection Act to nullify Trump’s EO attacks on vote-by-mail.

I’m gearing up for a vote-a-rama—Senate Democrats will offer a long series of amendments to the GOP’s budget bill that tees up yet another massive increase in spending for ICE and CBP without any reforms to keep Americans safe. Stay tuned.

This is exactly why I pushed so hard to fully certify and publish the Equal Rights Amendment. Laws limiting reproductive care would violate the Constitution. Decisions like this are proof we need to be pursuing this argument every chance we get.

Today, Sec Bessent revealed that the Trump Admin plans to send BILLIONS of dollars to help other countries keep their economies afloat while ignoring needs here at home. Once again, the 'America First' president is focused everywhere except the wallets of working Americans.

Trump's budget isn't a MAGA budget. It's not even a MAHA budget. It's a war budget—and I'll be ripping it up and writing a new one.

Big Pharma signed deals with TrumpRx, then turned around and raised the prices of their drugs. They made billions in new profits while you paid more for medications. TrumpRx is a fraud. www.youtube.com/shorts/NKaq0...

Reports put the amount of money the Treasury Department has given Iran through sanctions relief at billions of dollars – money they’re using to threaten our troops. When I asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about it today, he tried to dismiss it. But it’s real, and it’s an outrage.

Five times we’ve tried to end President Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Five times Senate Republicans blocked it. We won’t stop pushing to end this unwanted war and tackle the cost-of-living emergency hitting American families.

When confronted with his own words, RFK Jr. denied, deflected, then apologized “IF” he said every Black kid should be re-parented. That’s not leadership. That's not what HHS or our country deserves.

Plane tickets were already expensive. Now Trump’s chaotic war is cutting jet fuel supply and pushing costs up even more for families trying to take a vacation, visit loved ones, or—God forbid—travel for a family emergency. The war needs to end. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I just voted for the FIFTH time to end the war in Iran. Gas prices are still surging, this conflict threatens to plunge us into a global economic crisis, and America is not any safer. Yet Republicans refuse to put a check on this out-of-control President.

The price of gas is up 21%, service members are at risk, & there is no end to the war with Iran in sight. But Senate Republicans for the FIFTH time blocked a resolution requiring Congress to approve further military action against Iran. When will my colleagues stand up to this erratic President?

Instead of ensuring Americans can afford basic staples like health care, gas & groceries, GOP is trying to recklessly pump an additional $140B into unaccountable, out-of-control ICE & Border Patrol. Dems will continue pushing for affordability, accountability & oversight.

There have been reports that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth may have tried to invest heavily in the defense industry just before the start of the war with Iran. I am demanding answers.
