My Republican colleagues don't know everything that's in the final bill we're about to vote on.
But they do know it strips healthcare from millions of Americans. And rigs the tax code even more for the ultra-wealthy. And explodes the deficit by trillions.
Apparently, that's enough for most of them.

The sun just rose at the Capitol, where my Democratic colleagues and I have spent all day and all night offering amendment after amendment to improve this so-called 'big beautiful bill,' but the GOP keeps blocking us.
I'm going to vote NO when—or if!—we finally vote on whether to pass the bill.
There are over 2,000 references in Scripture to caring for the poor—but not one that calls for stripping healthcare from vulnerable people to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy. I know of no faith that preaches the values contained in the GOP tax bill we’re voting on tonight.
I don’t see how you can read the Gospels, and read the bill we’re voting on in the Senate today, and see the same spirit in both. My faith and values call on me to oppose this awful GOP tax bill.
Ask some of our nation’s most vulnerable citizens—seniors in nursing homes, disabled Americans, newborn children—if they think a bill that takes away their health care is ‘beautiful.’ I don’t think so either, and that’s why I’m in the Senate today ready to vote against this bill.
My Democratic colleagues have been voting all day—and we’ll keep at it—to make this bill less harmful. Republicans block our amendments because they like what the current bill does: it strips healthcare from millions of Americans to rig the tax code even more for the wealthy.
The GOP tax bill will wrap up millions of Americans – kids, seniors, folks with disabilities – with miles of red tape intended to make it impossible for them to keep their healthcare. I introduced an amendment to remove these obstacles. Nearly every Republican voted against it.
Nothing phony about it. Since Trump first pulled us out of the Iran nuclear deal, the world has only become more dangerous. He’s rushing to mission accomplished when what we need is to give our intelligence community time to do their jobs.
I’ve worked with Senator Thom Tillis for a decade on everything from human rights to intellectual property. We disagree on some significant topics, but he’s refused to sacrifice his constituents to get reelected. The Senate needs more people with Thom’s character, not fewer. He'll be missed.

Baptist minister and our President & CEO, Rev. @raushenbush.bsky.social, explains why religious leaders should speak out against Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful bill,” which includes cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital social programs that uplift vulnerable people.

Apparently, President Trump really doesn’t like this clip about how his desired Iran nuclear deal is a reheated version of the same deal he pulled us out of. It would be a shame if you watched it.
Agricultural counties have always been Trump's strongest base of support. His tariffs are gutting farmers at the very moment they need his help.
If this is how he treats his supporters, imagine how he treats everyone else. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I know of no faith that teaches us to turn neighbor against neighbor
Immigrants strengthen Delaware’s economy and enrich our communities. I’ll always fight for them.
Today, SCOTUS made clear that one branch of our government has free rein to do what it will without meaningful checks or review. This ruling will only embolden Trump in his dismantling of our government. It will create a patchwork of laws that shift depending on who you are or what state you’re in.
When it comes to your health, listen to the doctors. On the GOP tax bill, doctors’ orders are loud and clear: don’t let Republicans take away health care from 16 million Americans and put your local doctor’s office or hospital out of business. www.forbes.com/sites/brucej...
Congress, not the president, has the sole power to commit our troops to action. If President Trump chooses to do so, he must consult with Congress and seek our approval. This is why I will vote for Senator Kaine’s War Powers Resolution.
It is too early to conclude how far Iran’s dangerous nuclear program has been set back and whether it will continue to pursue nuclear weapons. US forces being called back into action for an extended period of time, unfortunately, remains a possibility.
Republicans’ tax bill will slash federal health funding, leaving states scrambling to pick up the pieces. My good friend and former governor Jack Markell knows firsthand how this bill will hurt Delaware’s workers and small businesses. thehill.com/opinion/heal...
