I just voted to block President Trump from giving your taxpayer dollars to January 6 insurrectionists.
- RD
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.
- CS
The first amendment I offered in today’s vote-a-rama was to BLOCK Trump's MAGA slush fund forever. With the whole country watching, Republicans chose to support this corrupt slush fund.

The Trump administration is STILL separating families. It’s cruel, inhumane, and un-American. Not one more penny for ICE. apnews.com/article/immi...

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.

While you’re paying higher costs on everything from gas to groceries, Senate Republicans are trying to take your taxpayer dollars and use them to pay for a slush fund for Trump’s billionaire donors and cop-beating insurrectionists and fund a lawless ICE.

Over the past four years, the Ukrainian people have fought heroically to defend their home against Russia’s unprovoked invasion. Now, Trump is letting Putin rake in billions of dollars to fuel his war of conquest. Here’s how:

We’re voting all day in the Senate today on Republicans’ disastrous $72 billion spending bill. There’s no need to give ICE – already better funded than most militaries across the globe – even more of your tax dollars while prices surge. I will be fighting it.

It’s not every day my job takes me to a cheese cave. The agritourism industry is thriving Up North, and with places like Leelanau Cheese Company and Shady Lane Cellars it’s not hard to see why. (oh, and happy National Cheese Day to those who celebrate)

I just voted to block Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund. Your tax dollars should not be going to January 6th rioters and the President's buddies. It's corruption to the highest degree.

We’ll be voting all day—and probably all night—on Republicans’ party line bill to fund Trump’s mass deportation effort. Republicans would rather give ICE a blank check than support commonsense, popular reforms that law enforcement officers around the country abide by every day.

The Senate just started a “vote-a-rama”—meaning Senate Democrats will offer a long series of amendments to Republicans’ budget bill that would once again massively increase ICE and CBP spending without reforms we need to keep Americans safe.
- TD
NEW: Senate GOP just began votes on their corrupt bill to hand another $70 billion to ICE and Border Patrol. Meanwhile, there’s $0 to help you with soaring costs caused by Trump’s war. It’s outrageous. Senate Democrats will be introducing amendments all day to fight this.

Today marks 500 days of Donald Trump's presidency. In that time, he's launched a war with Iran that has caused gas prices to skyrocket, imposed tariffs that raised costs, and made life more expensive. This November, voters will be able to put a check on this guy and finally start turning the page.

Americans are struggling to afford groceries, gas, housing, and health care. Republicans have a choice: fight for working families or keep protecting Trump’s slush fund, tax fraud, and costly political agenda. Today, we will put them on the record and see who they truly represent.

Let me be Blunt: you shouldn't have to pay for Trump's pet projects, and thanks to all your calls, you won't have to. Now, the real work begins.

@warnock.senate.gov lays it plain: This administration’s economic plan is crystal clear—massive tax breaks for billionaires, tariffs that punish working families, and higher prices on your kitchen table. It’s time to fight for an economy that lifts up every American, not just the wealthy few.

The DOJ needs a leader who believes in equal justice and the rule of law — not the rule of Trump. Todd Blanche was the architect of the slush fund for Trump’s cronies, Tina Peters, and January 6 rioters. He has no business leading the DOJ. Not now. Not ever.

Democrats made sure that today's vote-a-rama happens in broad daylight because Americans deserve to see what the GOP is prioritizing over lowering their costs. We will not let Republicans force their radical reconciliation bill under the cover of night.

NEWS: Senate Republicans have started the process to give $70 billion to Trump’ mass deportation operation. ICE and CBP already have record levels of funding, but Republicans decided your tax dollars are better spent terrorizing immigrants than lowering the cost of living.

Senate Republicans just started a marathon voting session known as vote-a-rama in the Senate. Not to improve your life. Not to lower your costs. But to funnel $70 billion more to ICE and the abuses I saw at Delaney Hall. Not another dime.

I am a hell no on Washington Republicans’ plan, and my Democratic colleagues and I will be forcing votes all day to stop Trump’s corrupt slush fund for good and redirect money to programs that actually lower costs for hardworking families. Stay tuned for more updates.

At the same time Donald Trump tried to set up a slush fund – nearly $2 billion of your tax dollars – to reward his political allies and January 6 rioters. The White House says the fund is dead, but they’ve shown us that we shouldn’t take their word for it.

We’ve seen this story before – Senate Republicans are trying to funnel billions more dollars to ICE without any reforms while too many Americans can’t afford gas, housing, health care, and groceries. 🧵

BREAKING: Senate Republicans have just begun a marathon vote-a-rama in the Senate. Why? Not to lower health care or housing costs. Instead, they are fighting tooth & nail to give ICE another $70 billion blank check with ZERO reforms. A disgrace.

Congress needs to restore the Voting Rights Act and protect Black voters’ voices, power, and representation.

SCOTUS let Alabama use a map that lower courts found intentionally discriminated against Black voters. The right to vote is how Americans shape their future. Republicans know their ideas can’t compete on their merits, so they draw discriminatory maps to force that unpopular agenda through anyway.

Corrupt & compromised by feckless Trump fealty, Blanche is a nonstarter as AG. He leads DOJ with blindered loyalty & contempt for law. There’s no way we should confirm an AG who will continue as Trump’s personal lawyer, not the people’s.

Trump wants loyalty, not expertise. He wants sycophants that will blindly support his self-serving policies. So of course he’s making it easier to get rid of the federal workers who are there to serve our country. It’s all a part of his corruption agenda.

Big tobacco donated big bucks to Trump’s political operation & dined at his golf club. Days later, FDA permits addictive & harmful vapes to be sold without scientific review, contrary to the law. I’m leading Senate Dems to demand answers on Big Tobacco’s scheme to hook children on this poison.
