This is EXACTLY why @democrats.senate.gov will be forcing a vote this week to outlaw Trump's MAGA slush fund permanently.

As Trump wages war on our elections: @democrats.senate.gov's Election Protection Task Force is gearing up with lawyers and response teams the moment he tries to interfere. The GOP is already ignoring your bills, wages, health care, and freedom—we won’t let them ignore your vote too.

Todd Blanche won’t put anything in writing because he knows that he and Trump are both lying.

The contrast is clear: The GOP is fighting for Trump and his corrupt slush fund, his ballroom, a rogue police force, and his reckless war in Iran. While Democrats are fighting to lower costs for Americans, bring back stability, and pushing against Trump’s corrupt administration.

Bill Pulte has already proven himself willing to act as a Trump puppet, which is why Trump wants to put him in charge of our nation’s intelligence. The Intelligence Community exists to protect the American people—not to serve as another instrument of presidential retribution.

The only way to ensure Trump’s $2B MAGA slush fund never sees the light of day is to abolish it by law. We will not trust the word of the corrupt president who stands to benefit the most from it.

Secretary Rubio is testifying right now, and he has a lot to answer for—especially on Trump's war in Iran Democrats are demanding answers on behalf of our troops in harm's way, their families, and the Americans across the country who are paying the cost We must bring an end to this war immediately

Bill Pulte is a partisan thug with no experience in intelligence. He is another unqualified Trump appointee that will make our country less safe. And you won’t hear a word from the Republicans who claim to care about national security.

Trump says he's in “no hurry” to end the war in Iran. No hurry? Tell that to our troops in harm’s way. Tell that to their families. Tell that to the Americans getting crushed by record gas prices at the pump. We will not stop fighting to end this war once and for all.

All Trump cares about is his golden ballroom, putting his name on a massive arch, slapping his face on $250 dollar bills, and lining his pockets with taxpayer dollars. None of that lowers costs or helps working families.
- CS
Senate Democrats will push legislation to ban Trump's corrupt MAGA slush fund and ensure that no president can ever do this again. We will make sure that it's dead and can't be revived—just like we did with Trump's ballroom.

Pete Hegseth isn’t just making bad decisions about war. Now, he’s blocking promotions of women and minority officers who have been standout leaders and exceptional members of our military. This is noxious, corrosive to building our best military fighting force, and wrong.

If Trump and Republicans are truly abandoning this corrupt scheme, they should have zero problem banning it in law. This week, Senate Democrats will push legislation to ban this slush fund and ensure no president can ever do this again. Trump’s word is nowhere near enough.

Of all Trump’s corrupt schemes, his insurrectionist slush fund is one of the most depraved. This ruling is an important win—but the fight is not over. We’ll keep fighting in the courts & in Congress to make sure this $2B giveaway to cop beaters, criminals & MAGA cronies never sees the light of day.

Republicans want to help Trump steal $2 billion in taxpayer money for his insurrectionist MAGA slush fund. Our brave Capitol Police officers deserve better than to see their assailants rewarded with taxpayer-funded payouts. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

I heard from families, farmers, & butchers across Upstate NY on how beef monopolies are driving up prices. I’m leading @democrats.senate.gov in the Family Grocery & Farmer Relief Act to break up meatpacking monopolies & stop these unfair practices that rig the game against working families.

When even U.S. Senators are targeted, every American should understand: no one is safe from ICE’s abuses. It’s why I’m fighting tooth-and-nail against additional funds for Trump’s rogue police forces.

Trump and Republicans are taking a break from trying to use taxpayer funds for his gold-plated ballroom and $1.8 billion MAGA slush fund to visit the Hudson Valley today.

Americans are getting absolutely crushed by surging costs as we head into Memorial Day Weekend. Compared to last year: Hot dogs are up 12% Buns are up 20% Ketchup is up 14% Watermelon is up 17% Lettuce is up 19% Tomatoes are up 22% Gas? Up 42% from this time last year thanks to Trump’s Iran war

Trump’s nearly $2B MAGA slush fund is the most blatant act of corruption in US history. I will offer an amendment during vote-a-rama will be to block this slush fund. Trump doesn’t have to pay taxes, but he’s more than happy to give your tax dollars to his cronies, criminals, and insurrectionists.

No matter what’s in their bill, Democrats will force Republicans to vote again and again on their ridiculous priorities: Trump’s billion-dollar ballroom, insurrectionist slush fund, and reckless war Every vote will show that Democrats are standing up for America, while the GOP sells out to Trump

Republicans are helping Trump STEAL from the American people to fund his ballroom and his MAGA slush fund. Democrats will offer amendment after amendment to lower costs on everything from health care to groceries to gasoline. The contrast could not be clearer.

Democrats are going to force Senate Republicans to vote on amendment after amendment about Trump’s ballroom, about Trump’s corrupt slush fund, and the rising costs of Trump’s war. They will not be able to hide.

Trump’s DOJ granted him and his family immunity from tax audits, giving his family a license to commit tax fraud. Trump doesn’t have to pay his taxes. Meanwhile he’s using American tax dollars to line the pockets of his family and his far-right cronies.

Trump says his billion-dollar, gold-plated ballroom is “a gift to the United States of America.” Let’s call it what it is: an insult to every American struggling to make ends meet.

Who’s having the worst week? Senate Republicans or Donald Trump? Hard to say when it’s only Wednesday and they’re all in a downward spiral where every day feels like a new rock bottom.

For the EIGHTH time, we will be bringing our War Powers Resolution to the floor to end Trump’s war with Iran. Republicans have a choice to stop catering to Trump and end this deeply unpopular war. They must vote yes.

Trump’s war has cost the American taxpayer AT LEAST $29 billion. The war in Iran has cost Americans financially, causing inflation to spiral out of control, gas prices to skyrocket, and grocery costs to climb.

Trump’s moving forward with his plan to sell AI chips to Chinese companies linked to the Chinese military. Giving China access to this premier US technology is dangerous and threatens our lead in the AI race that will shape the global economy for decades.

The Trump administration has put working Americans in an untenable economic situation. If Ballroom Republicans won’t think about the suffering of the American people, then they better start thinking long and hard about their own political futures.

Americans are paying over $4.50/gallon for gas because Trump refuses to end this war. If Republicans care at all about lowering costs and defending our troops, they will support Democrats’ War Powers Resolution to end this war with Iran.

“Uncertainty.” “Stress.” “Dread.” These are the words Americans used to describe the economy right now. All because of Donald Trump’s costly tariffs, disastrous war with Iran, and failed economic agenda.

Trump dragged America into an illegal, costly war without any goals or endgame and has the nerve to call it a “mini-war” The best way to lower costs and end the chaos is to end this war Democrats are forcing a 7th vote on our War Powers Resolution to withdraw U.S. troops from hostilities with Iran

Americans don’t want this ballroom blitz—they want this Congress to bring down costs.
