NEWS: House Republicans caved. They’ve agreed to pass the Senate bill to fund DHS except for ICE and CBP that unanimously passed a week ago.

One second, Trump is the “Peace President.” The next, he’s dragged us into war. And his address tonight? It doesn’t matter. His words are meaningless—he says what’s convenient, then does the opposite. This is how you burn trust, risk lives, and lead our country into chaos.

A 60 day CR that locks in the status quo is dead on arrival in the Senate, and Republicans know it. We’ve been clear from day one: Democrats will fund critical Homeland Security functions, but we will not give a blank check to Trump’s lawless and deadly immigration militia without reforms.

After weeks of negotiations, Republicans caved to our demands to fund DHS without a blank check for ICE and CBP. My full statement below:

Trump promised lower energy bills. Instead, they skyrocketed. Democrats’ plan to bring them down: 1. Build more clean energy 2. Cut delays — not protections 3. Fix the grid 4. Make data centers pay their fair share 5. Protect consumers www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/c...

If Republicans want to shove the SAVE Act into reconciliation, then have at it. Democrats will fight it tooth and nail, every step of the way. They're going to find it very difficult to jam these massive changes to the American election system.

Today, for the TENTH TIME, Democrats will go to the floor to demand that we pay TSA immediately. And for the TENTH TIME, Republicans will have a chance to join us. I’m not holding my breath.
- CS
Senate Republicans have now blocked TSA funding 9 times. They are solely responsible for the chaos travelers are experiencing. We welcome them to join Democrats at the table any time to fund TSA and restore order to our airports.

ICE needs to leave the airports NOW. Trump needs to pay TSA workers NOW, and push Republicans to reach a deal. No intimidation forces at our airports. No more chaos at checkpoints. Enough is enough.

The MAGA Voter ID provision is a cover up to the SAVE Act’s core voter suppression provisions. Let’s be clear: this bill and this provision are about purging millions of Americans from the voter rolls to tip the scales for a flailing Donald Trump.

A month ago, the national price of gasoline as $2.93 a gallon. Today it's $3.94. One man is to blame: Donald Trump.

ICE must change its violent ways. The last thing Americans want is ICE detaining passengers at airports and making things worse. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best: Fund TSA, rein in ICE, and move our country in the right direction.

Donald Trump is tying himself in a triple knot. 1. Refusing to fund TSA and causing chaos at our airports 2. Starting a reckless war of choice in Iran 3. Pushing a voter suppression bill to disenfranchise over 20 million American citizens And each day he ties the knot tighter.

NEWS: Republican Leader John Thune told Trump that Senate Republicans would finally join Senate Democrats to support funding all of DHS except ICE. Donald Trump said no. This shutdown is on him alone.

Even some Republican Senators are openly admitting they have no clue what the Administration is trying to accomplish in the Middle East. Enough is enough. End this war.

Instead of sending ICE agents to harass travelers at airports, why don’t Republicans get their act together and agree to pay TSA workers like we’ve asked them to SEVEN TIMES now?
- CS
ZERO Republican Senators voted to fund TSA. This is the seventh time Republicans have blocked pay for TSA. Seven. Times. They would rather hold TSA hostage to try to force billions more for an unrestrained, out of control ICE. Despicable.

The cruelty is the point. Trump’s goal is to distract you from rising gas prices, his aimless war, ICE abuses, and the Epstein files. Don’t give him what he wants. And may Robert Mueller, a US Marine and lifelong public servant, rest in peace.

BREAKING: I’m bringing a motion to the floor to FULLY FUND TSA. Republicans Senators will be forced on the record: they can either vote to fund TSA for good or be fully responsible for its continued shutdown.
- CS
This is pathetic. Clearly, they don’t want to defend what they know they can’t defend. We need public hearings with Hegseth and Rubio under oath so the American people can get answers about the end game and the price they’re paying for Trump’s war.

Americans are being forced to choose between life-saving medicine and everyday necessities, all while Trump requests $200 billion more for his war. Remember, extending the ACA tax credits for more than 20 million Americans would have cost LESS THAN HALF of that. This is Donald Trump’s America.

As we have all week, Democrats will continue to hold the floor to block the Republican voter suppression SAVE Act. And as I’ve said all week: We will not let this bill pass under any circumstances, no matter how long it takes.
- CS
For $200 billion, we could invest in jobs, in science, in manufacturing, and we could begin fixing our power grid.
- CS
For $200 billion, we could cut hunger in this country in half.
- CS
For $200 billion, we could educate a generation and unleash the immense potential of our students.
- CS
For $200 billion we could lower health care premiums for tens of millions of Americans.

If Trump wants $200 billion, it means he believes we may be at war for a very, very long time. That’s the last thing Americans want.

In a few minutes Democrats will be giving Republicans a FIFTH chance to pay TSA workers. Will they finally fund TSA or once again object?
- CS
Trump promised to cut people's electricity bills in half by the end of his first year in office. Instead, they've risen by almost triple the rate of inflation.

Donald Trump says he’s hoping China will help us clear the Strait of Hormuz. Are you kidding me? Donald Trump created a mess in the Middle East, and he clearly has no plan for how to end it.
- CS
Not a single Senate Democrat will support the SAVE Act. Not this week. Not next week. Not ever. We will oppose it on the floor as long as it takes.
- CS
Trump and Republicans think rising gas prices are “a small price to pay”—they should try to tell that to Americans who must now choose between filling their tank and putting food on the table.

Democrats are ready to fund TSA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund CISA. Republicans are blocking it. Democrats are ready to fund FEMA. And Coast Guard. Republicans are blocking it.

Today's ruling makes it unequivocally clear: the Trump administration must continue to fund the Gateway Tunnel Project. I have spent years fighting for this project, and we will not stop until every committed federal dollar reaches Gateway and workers can count on staying on the job for good.

Let me say it again: The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of American citizens. Not non-citizens, not undocumented immigrants - AMERICAN CITIZENS. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances. No amount of whining from Elon Musk will change that.

Democrats have offered legislation to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA while we continue ICE negotiations. Republicans BLOCKED the funding. We must fund TSA, Coast Guard and FEMA TODAY.

Americans don't want war. Not Republican voters, not Democratic voters, not independent voters, not Donald Trump's MAGA base.

Secretary Rubio, Secretary Hegseth, and other senior officials must go under oath in public hearings with the Senate immediately to answer these questions. The American people deserve answers. This is why @shaheen.senate.gov, @reed.senate.gov, and I are demanding they finally testify:

Trump has not only failed to bring down prices, he’s actively making it worse. Inflation was up again in February—and that’s before Trump’s reckless war that will only drive prices even higher.
- CS
Donald Trump lied. No other leader in the Administration—not even Pete Hegseth—is claiming Iranian tomahawk missiles were responsible for the bombing that killed 170 people at an Iranian all-girls’ school. There needs to be a full, INDEPENDENT, and transparent investigation.
- CS
Donald Trump is risking the lives of our troops, the safety of the American people, the stability of the world economy, and blowing a billion dollars a day based on whims, feelings, and contradictions. His incompetency is dangerous and destructive.
- CS
Trump said that the war in Iran was “complete,” but Hegseth said today will be the most intense day of strikes yet. How is it possible that Trump and his cronies can’t make it 12 hours without contradicting themselves about this war?
- CS
Donald Trump is preparing to hold our government hostage unless we help him undermine our right to vote, our elections, our democracy. This is what he does. He's a thug and a bully. Democrats will not support passage of the SAVE Act under any circumstances.

Donald Trump's war has sent gas prices skyrocketing through the roof. “If they rise, they rise,” is all he has to say. Tough luck, America. What contempt. What cluelessness.
