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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.

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.
A headline from The New York Times reads: Deferring to Trump, G.O.P. Lawmakers Resist a Public Accounting on Iran
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.
A headline from Fortune reads: ‘Sometimes I don’t even take my medicine’: Americans are choosing between insulin and buying gas following Trump’s ACA cuts
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.
