Trump says we can’t afford the basics families need. But he’s got $1 billion in taxpayer dollars to stop offshore wind projects that would lower energy costs. Families get excuses. Big interests get checks. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Americans want affordable health care, lower costs at the gas pump, and cheaper groceries. What they're getting is a war in Iran. The $12B Trump has spent overseas would've gone a long way in solving the real issues our communities care about.

After driving up gas prices to $4/gallon, Trump used $1 billion taxpayer dollars to cancel renewable energy project leases that were going to make energy cheaper for New Yorkers. He used your money to drive up your energy bills.

Kristi Noem’s legacy will be failure. She slipped on ICE. I’m unconvinced that Senator Mullin has the knowledge, skill, or the right advisors to rein in ICE abuses and say “no” to Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant instincts. I voted NO.
- MH
Senate Republicans FINALLY accepted Senate Democrats' offer to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard while we continue to negotiate common-sense guardrails for ICE. Trump blocked the deal. He's holding YOUR safety hostage to avoid reigning in ICE's lawlessness.

Leading by example. The SAVE America Act is all about who gets to vote. Spoiler alert: It’s not the President’s opponents.

I went to the Senate floor to read Republicans’ own words about why they support the SAVE America Act into the Congressional Record. They have made it clear, Republicans are pushing this bill to increase their chances of winning in November.

My Statement Opposing Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of Homeland Security

- MW
Every day, Trump’s chaotic foreign policy agenda is sticking taxpayers with a billion-dollar bill.
- TD
Mullin's confirmation doesn't change the fact that Trump's agents executed two Americans in broad daylight—or fix the issues at Trump's DHS. And a pinky promise that ICE and CBP will stop terrorizing our neighborhoods isn't good enough. We need serious reforms passed into law.
- ES
Michigan is a border state. We need a functioning DHS. And no matter who is in charge, I will work with them to deliver security to our state.
- ES
Second, the DHS Secretary plays a critical role in protecting elections. Senator Mullin is still unable to clearly state who won the 2020 election. And he left the door open to illegally using federal law enforcement to intimidate Americans at the polls, if Trump follows through on his threats.
- ES
First, in both private and public, Senator Mullin has no plan for desperately-needed reforms of ICE. The American people — Democrats, Republicans, and Independents alike — have lost confidence in ICE after watching federal law enforcement kill American citizens in the streets with their own eyes.

Today, I voted against confirming Markwayne Mullin to be the next Secretary of Homeland Security.

Electric and fuel-efficient vehicles. Clean energy. Battery storage technology. Trump calls that socialism. But what do you call 100 years of tax breaks for oil, gas, and coal? Give us some of that socialism.

- MB
I have no faith that any Trump-appointed nominee, including Senator Mullin, will have the independence and vision they need to make the necessary changes to protect our rights, follow the rule of law, and respect human dignity. For these reasons, I voted no on his nomination.
- MB
I have been steadfast in my belief that President Trump’s Department of Homeland Security has made our communities less safe, left states to suffer alone in the wake of natural disasters, and completely disregarded the rule of law.
- KG
DHS does not need more of the same. It needs serious reform, accountability, & leadership with the judgment to course correct. Mr. Mullin has not demonstrated he can meet that bar. The American people deserve a DHS that works for them. The GOP cannot continue writing President Trump a blank check.
- KG
Today I voted against confirming Markwayne Mullin as DHS Secretary. Since this administration took office, we’ve seen from DHS reckless enforcement actions, due process violations, and a pattern of conduct and violence that has shaken public trust in the agency.
- AA
Both Kristi Noem and Markwayne Mullin share the one qualification Republicans value most: loyalty to the President over the law. Mullin would continue the same failures. That’s why I voted no — and why I won’t support another penny for ICE without real reform.
- AK
I voted NO on Senator Mullin for DHS Secretary. The failures at DHS run far deeper than who holds the title of Secretary. Trump and his cronies continue to show no intention of ending the lawlessness we’ve seen in our streets and we must demand better.
- RB
ICE at airports is just the latest tactic in Trump’s campaign of unchecked cruelty. We must continue to shine a spotlight on ICE’s tremendous abuses of power, which is why I am hosting a forum tomorrow to bear witness to the stories of children brutalized by DHS agents.

The President said he didn't have the money to lower millions of Americans' health care costs, but he has spent upwards of $30 billion on an illegal war.
- RD
I voted no on Markwayne Mullin’s nomination to be DHS Secretary. I will not vote to install another yes-man to enable Donald Trump.

I do not have confidence that Senator Mullin has the willingness or vision to undertake urgently-needed reforms at the Department of Homeland Security to rebuild trust following Secretary Noem’s disastrous tenure. My full statement on tonight's vote:

I’m thrilled that after years of hard work, Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind project, the largest commercial-scale offshore wind project in the U.S., is producing clean, reliable energy. I’m proud to support VA’s leadership in the clean energy economy.
- PW
I just voted against confirming Markwayne Mullin as the next DHS Secretary.
- PM
I voted NO on Senator Mullin's nomination to lead DHS. We need a Secretary who can clean up the mess that Noem left, rein in the out-of-control masked federal agents, and focus on real accountability & transparency. That's not Mullin.

ICE is already at our airports. Bringing heartbreaking scenes like this to an already chaotic environment. And now Tom Homan and Donald Trump want them at every airport across America.

Enough of this chaos. ICE Agents are not trained or certified in aviation security. Senate Democrats have tried to pay our hardworking TSA workers multiple times, and Senate Republicans have blocked it. Trump needs to stop playing politics and tell Republicans to fund TSA.

- JH
Isn’t Trump supposed to be some legendary dealmaker? He’s now saying that he doesn’t want to pay TSA workers until MAGA Republicans somehow pass an impossible bill to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote. How does that make sense?

The American Dream of owning a home shouldn't be out of reach. That’s why I worked to pass legislation in the Senate that will help build more homes, lower costs, and limit corporate homebuying while families struggle to find an affordable place to live. fillmorecountyjournal.com/klobuchar-st...

11 times Democrats have tried to open TSA, FEMA, CISA, and the Coast Guard. Republicans blocked it every time. We must fund these agencies while we negotiate commonsense reforms to ICE.

Today marks 16 years of the Affordable Care Act — a landmark expansion of health care for millions of Americans. Since then, Republicans and Trump have waged war on health care. Their Big Ugly Bill jacked up costs and will kick millions off of their plans. Indeed, it already has.

Minutes matter in a medical emergency. Rural Arizonans deserve the same access to care as anyone else – and I’m gonna keep fighting until they get it.

Assistant principals set the tone for schools, cultivating a positive learning atmosphere for students while providing essential support to staff. Their work deserves recognition, which is why I introduced a resolution to declare the week of April 6 as National Assistant Principals Week.

Democrats have been blocked from passing funding for DHS agencies 7 times. Trump needs to stop playing partisan games at the expense of federal workers and the safety and convenience of Americans. It’s past time to fund TSA and other DHS agencies and implement common sense reforms to ICE and CBP.
- EM
Trump calls it “The Art of the Deal.” Billionaires get tax breaks while working families and small businesses get higher costs, weaker health care, and more instability. This isn’t a deal—it’s a ripoff.

Jeff Bezos, worth $233 billion, wants to raise $100 billion to replace factory workers with robots. That’s a declaration of war against the working class. He must explain to the American people what happens when millions lose their jobs. How will they survive?

16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act became law. Since then, tens of millions of Americans have gained affordable health care, even while Republicans constantly try to repeal it, gut it, or weaken it. I'm not backing down from the fight to protect the ACA and reverse the GOP’s health care cuts.

On Saturday, average gas prices surged to $3.93 a gallon—nearly a dollar higher than right before Trump’s Iran strikes. Whether you’re going to the grocery store, work, or your kid’s day care, Trump’s war is costing you money.
