Not only are Senate Republicans trying to give BILLIONS of more dollars to ICE for mass deportations… They just tried squeezing in their SAVE America Act too. Luckily, Democrats defeated it.

Beyond grateful that we were able to secure Andrea’s release. Her ovarian cyst could have lifesaving complications if left untreated, and she was in incredible pain. Now she’ll be able to get the lifesaving medical care she should have been able to receive back in February.

ICE agents shouldn't be kicking down doors without a warrant, wearing masks, or operating by rules that would never fly for local police. But instead of accepting these basic reforms, Republicans are trying to push through another $72 billion tonight for Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

Pennsylvania guarantees permit refunds if the state misses its deadline. Arizona requires it by statute. Connecticut just signed it into law in January. When I’m Governor, we’ll get this done for Minnesotans.

The cost of groceries rose faster last month than at any other time in the past four years—all while personal savings plummeted. More loans won’t fix Trump’s affordability crisis or deliver real relief to American families. Ending Trump’s reckless economic policies will.

Back in March, Rubio said this war would end in "weeks, not months." Yet, here we are, 4 months later. Hundreds of troops injured or killed. Billions of dollars set on fire for a war Americans do NOT support.

Blanche acts as Trump’s personal attorney and political henchman, but the Attorney General’s client is supposed to be the American people. He will never understand that.

Trump intends to damage the rule of law, to protect his massive corruption, and Blanche is his hatchet man.

... pursuing illegal U.S. Attorney appointments, having courts regularly throw out indictments and grand juries return "no bills," and costing the Department its customary "presumption of regularity." He is a walking disgrace.

Todd Blanche was behind the Epstein Files cover-up, the rotten cop-beaters slush fund, and a sleazy tax fraud amnesty for the Trump family and businesses; all while causing an unprecedented "fraud on the court" investigation of the Department... 🧵

Unrepentant & unreformed ICE & DHS don’t need another $62 billion. But Americans need more affordable homes. I offered an amendment that would build & rehab 2.1 million homes nationwide instead of constructing more ICE detention warehouses in communities that don’t want them. Republicans refused

Housing costs are a significant burden for millions of families. Senate Democrats just put forward a proposal that would fund the largest federal grant program to create more affordable housing. Republicans voted it down.
- TK
This amendment was blocked. Instead of helping Americans grapple with sky-high housing costs, Republicans want to funnel billions of taxpayer dollars to immigration agencies—that are already funded at historic levels—to send more masked ICE agents to terrorize our communities.

Within the last year, Republicans reduced Medicaid funding by nearly $1 TRILLION, nutritional assistance grants by almost $190 BILLION, and diverted $500 BILLION from public schools. Over $1,700,000,000,000 in cuts. And apparently, for Republicans, that $1.7 trillion isn't enough.

Health care is more expensive than ever. But Senate Republicans just refused to support a measure that would investigate insurance companies that are denying patients the care they need.

“Instead of slush funds for criminals and corrupt ballrooms, let's do something useful. Let's ban insurance companies from denying or delaying medically necessary health care to Americans," Sen. Ossoff said.

Our tax code should reflect our values. After 15 years of Republican tax cuts for the wealthy, it no longer does, and ordinary Americans are struggling. It's time for you to pay less and the wealthiest Americans to pay their fair share again.

Buying a home is the cornerstone of the American dream, but for many Americans, it’s out of reach. Senate Democrats supported @reed.senate.gov amendment to the Republican budget bill to make affordable housing more accessible, but Senate Republicans blocked it.

The public clearly opposes this war because it is driving up costs at the gas pump, the grocery store, and in housing and energy prices. That has real ramifications. People are unhappy because they thought this president was running to address affordability.

Republicans voted down an amendment to block Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund for violent insurrectionists. They're choosing to bend the knee to this corrupt President who wants to pay off cop beaters—all while Trump & Republicans won't spend a cent to lower health care costs.

ICE and CBP already have enough money for the next three years. They don't need another $62 billion. So Democrats are forcing a vote on a legislation to reinvest that money in building over 2 million units of affordable housing.

As the price of groceries, gas, and housing balloons, a gilded White House ballroom is the last thing your taxes should be spent on. But Senate Republicans just voted down an amendment that would ensure this ballroom does not receive one cent of federal funding without congressional approval.

But we know that Trump will do anything he can to get his way – so Senate Democrats forced a vote today to make sure he can NEVER use taxpayer money for his ballroom. Republicans refused to join us and instead blocked our efforts.

In the first version of Senate Republicans’ budget bill, they tried to give Trump $1 billion in taxpayer dollars for his ballroom. Democrats fought back and forced Republicans to strip out this wasteful spending.

The message I heard from Delawareans this week was clear: they're working harder than ever and still falling behind. Here in the Senate, we have a responsibility to give them a hand up by making life more affordable and opportunities more plentiful.

Yesterday, when talking about the January 6 cop beater slush fund, President Trump said, “I love it. I think it's so important.” Senate Democrats just gave Republicans the chance to kill this boondoggle once and for all. They voted to reward insurrectionists instead.

Almost every single Senate Republican is now on the record supporting $2 billion of YOUR tax dollars going toward Donald Trump’s illegal slush fund. While you continue to be squeezed by rising costs, they want to give YOUR hard-earned money to Donald Trump's buddies. Despicable.

On January 6, Donald Trump bought up to $1 million in NVIDIA stock. A week later, his Administration approved chip sales to China. Now, NVIDIA stock is through the roof. You don’t need to be a Wall Street guy to know the President shouldn’t be doing this.
