The only reason TSA agents are going without pay right now is because Republicans are holding their paychecks hostage so they can shovel more money at ICE and CBP. That's absurd. Republicans need to stop blocking our bill to pay TSA & start getting serious about basic ICE reforms.
DHS desperately needs a leader who is focused on accountability & transparency—and who will make the changes necessary to restore trust in the agency on everything from the distribution of disaster aid to immigration enforcement.  That’s not Senator Mullin. I will vote NO to advance his nomination.
BREAKING: 49 Senate Republicans just VOTED DOWN our simple bill to pay TSA workers. Republicans have now blocked TSA pay SEVEN times. It’s a slap in the face to the men and women who have been working without a paycheck for weeks.
Oh yeah, I’m sure the next thing the American people want after long lines at TSA is to get wrongfully detained, beat up, and harassed by ICE. No blank check for ICE. We need reform & accountability. In the meantime, how about you tell Republicans to just vote to pay TSA.
Trump: "If the Radical Left Dems don’t immediately agree to let our Airports be FREE & SAFE again, I'll move our patriotic ICE Agents to Airports where they will do Security, including immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants, w/heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed MN."
Trump: "If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota. I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our Airports. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP"
Good morning. Today, Senate Republicans will have the chance to FINALLY join Democrats and pass our bill to pay TSA workers.  Every Senator will be on the record. Will Republicans seriously block TSA pay, again?
ICE and CBP's recklessness reaches far beyond the tragic deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. There have been numerous other instances of ICE and CBP shooting CITIZENS. I am demanding commonsense reforms and accountability for ICE and Border Patrol. WATCH ⬇️
Voter fraud is already illegal. And incredibly rare. The average person is more likely to be struck by lightning than they are to commit voter fraud. This isn't a widespread issue like Republicans want you to think—they just want to appease the election-denier in the Oval Office.
REMINDER: Republicans want to BAN abortion nationwide. They fought to ban your health insurance from covering abortion just this past summer. They aren't quitting. Every woman in America deserves full reproductive freedom—NO politicians in your doctor's office.
I'm on the Senate floor right now saying ICE & Border Patrol don't need more money—they need accountability. Americans are demanding SERIOUS reforms. So I'm voting NO on the GOP bill to shovel more money at ICE without real change. Instead, let's fund TSA—today—as we push ahead to rein in ICE.
In Trump's America there is NO money to extend the ACA tax credits and prevent premiums from skyrocketing but there's always money for a war of choice with NO end in sight. Republicans CHOSE to let this happen—and working families are paying the price.
$200 billion for a war the American people oppose? NO WAY. Instead of blowing hundreds of billions on Trump's war of choice, we could save the ACA tax credits or make universal child care a reality—you name it. Congress must END this war and focus on FAMILIES here at home.
Republicans blocked Democrats' bill to pay TSA workers AGAIN. Then, they blocked our bill to fund all of DHS besides ICE & CBP...AGAIN. We've given Republicans every chance to solve this TODAY. They refuse unless Congress cuts a blank check to ICE. Not happening.
Republicans slashed Medicaid & food stamps for hungry kids to give ICE more money than most militaries. Then, Kristi Noem's right-hand man used that money to try to enrich himself with BRIBES. There needs to be hearings, and we need accountability for this historic corruption.
ICE and Border Patrol are sitting on a Republican slush fund. But Republicans are holding TSA workers' paychecks hostage unless they can give ICE & CBP even more money without BASIC reforms to prevent masked federal agents from breaking into people's homes & hurting them.
Trump and Republicans' SAVE America Act isn't solving problems—it's creating them by making YOU shell out for IDs and documents like a birth certificate or passport. They want to make voting more expensive—and Democrats won't let them.
Nearly 70 million women have changed their names. Under Republicans' voter suppression bill, women may need to provide proof of citizenship AND documents to prove the name change, like a marriage certificate. If you ask me, that's not very pro-family of Republicans.
