🚨Senate Democrats forced Republicans to strip the $1 BILLION for Trump’s ballroom from their ICE/Border Patrol funding bill. While we expect Republicans to appease Trump and redraft, Democrats will fight any new provision. Taxpayers shouldn’t fund Trump’s gold-plated ballroom.
Families are facing sky high costs everywhere from the gas pump to the grocery store. Instead of doing anything to bring down costs for Americans, Trump and Senate Republicans want to spend $1 BILLION of your tax dollars on Trump’s ballroom boondoggle.
Trump will never put you and your family first.   That's why he's content to spend billions on his illegal war against Iran while slashing health care and SNAP benefits for millions of Americans as the cost of gas, groceries, and more soars.
🚨🚨HUGE UPDATE: Senate Democrats forced Republicans to rewrite parts of their ICE and Border Patrol funding bill to add critical protections for children in DHS custody. It’s a win for the rule of law as Democrats continue fighting every provision in this harmful legislation.
Mifepristone is safe and effective—the science is clear. The Supreme Court can’t topple science-based agency approval simply because it doesn’t like it. I’m fighting to protect access to the full range of reproductive care for everyone in our country.
The Trump Administration gutted consumer protection laws that kept payday lenders and other bad actors from ripping off consumers. I just brought an effort to the floor to put families first and restore these guardrails! Republicans sided with payday lenders.
But the payday industry has changed wording, replacing a “loan” with a “advance,” and has proceeded to exploit hardworking Americans with the blessing of the Trump Administration. I’m forcing a vote to end the ripoff of payday exploitation!
Republicans just BLOCKED my War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s unconstitutional war with Iran. Democrats will keep forcing votes on War Powers Resolutions—no more war with Iran!
🚨🚨 According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, Trump’s “Golden Dome” project is going to cost us more than $1.2 TRILLION DOLLARS.
Just like the Trump’s symbolic renaming of the Department of Defense or his deployment of National Guard troops to our cities, this move to fund the ‘Golden Dome’ will be far more effective at squandering money than protecting American lives. www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...
Republicans slashed heath care and SNAP benefits for millions of Americans. Now they’re trying to spend a BILLION dollars on Trump’s ballroom boondoggle. Makes clear where their priorities lie—not with the American people.
