Trump wanted to slash funding for medical research by 40%. The funding bill the Senate just passed said: absolutely not.
Not only did we reject Trump's funding cuts – Democrats secured nearly half a billion dollars MORE in funding for critical biomedical research.

Important to hear from @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social this week about what's happening in Minneapolis. Any city could just as easily be next.
But the power belongs to the people, NOT Trump. I'll be using my voice and vote to press for real restraints and accountability for ICE and Border Patrol.
There is NO reason this should be happening in the richest country in the world.
Republicans knew their inaction would mean Americans paying an arm and a leg for basic health care—and after lining billionaires’ pockets, they CHOSE to make your health care more expensive.
The killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti shock the conscience.
They demand action. Accountability. Justice.
Democrats are insisting that happens.
I keep my promises—President Trump’s budget is in the trash, and an entirely new one is headed to his desk, waiting to be signed into law.
In the end, it was Congress and this former preschool teacher—NOT Trump—who had the final say on how we spend taxpayer dollars.
I said I’d rip up Trump's budget & write a new one—and that's what we did.
The Senate passed 5 funding bills that reject Trump's catastrophic cuts while splitting off the DHS bill.
I fought hard to protect funding families count on—from housing to cancer research.
There's some stiff competition, but this might take the cake for the most blatant form of SHEER CORRUPTION and self-enrichment we've seen from this crook of a President.
Know anyone who still supports Trump? Do they support giving him $10 BILLION in taxpayer dollars??
I want to make it abundantly clear: UNLIKE Donald Trump, I want to make it cheap and easy to build housing so the cost of housing comes DOWN and MORE people can afford to buy a home.
"We're not with the activists we're just reporting on them."
This is from Don Lemon's reporting at the St. Paul church. Arresting journalists for simply highlighting what's happening in this country is a gross violation of our First Amendment rights.
He must be released immediately.
Are you kidding me? People can barely afford rent, much less a mortgage. And the President is outright saying he doesn't care if families can purchase their own home.
Americans deserve a Congress and a President who pass laws to lower costs and HELP families buy a home.
I voted NO on taking up the funding package before the Senate.
Funding for DHS must be split off so we can keep working on common-sense reforms that all Americans support.
Talks are happening to do that—and that's good. But we need a real deal locked in first.
"The sweetest person you can imagine."
That's how a veteran patient described Alex Pretti - the man we all saw federal agents murder in broad daylight.
Trump's VA Secretary initially responded by blaming that horrific killing on Minnesota officials. VA workers deserve better.
Republicans gave ICE a blank check, funding untrained federal agents who've been attacking, detaining, & even killing Americans.
Republicans have talked for years about government overreach—well, here it is.
Now's the time for senators to prove they care about the Constitution.
The brutal killing of Alex Pretti was an inflection point for this country. We are saying ENOUGH.
Republicans need to work with us on serious reforms. It's what the vast majority of Americans want and what many Republicans are calling for as well. The time is now.
We all saw Alex Pretti, a lawful observer exercising his rights, murdered in cold blood by federal agents.
And we are all seeing this administration lie to our faces about it.
That cannot be how things work in this country.
This President is a shameful disgrace.
But I'm glad Rep. Omar is okay. While Trump incites this kind of behavior, it's important that the rest of us state clearly—over and over again—that political violence is NEVER acceptable.
In a democracy, we use our voice & our votes.
Republicans’ refusal to extend the ACA tax credits pushed thousands in WA state off of their health care plans.
The same Republicans who said keeping health care costs from skyrocketing was too expensive didn’t bat an eye when they made tax breaks for billionaires permanent.
For an administration so “focused” on rooting out fraud, Trump and his goons are awfully quiet about the massive fraud in Mississippi–or does it not count if it happens in a "red state"?
Democrats are ready to avert a GOP shutdown. But Republicans are threatening to block the 5 bills we all agree on. Why?
After people have been shot & killed in broad daylight, they're insisting ICE—which they admit has enough money—needs MORE money without any new strings attached.
Speaking out matters. Trump is not inevitable.
Republicans in Congress are FINALLY calling for hearings and accountability.
They even sent that vile, grandstanding camera hound, Bovino, packing from Minnesota.
There's a long way to go, but your voice DOES matter.
