The FBI’s sloppy raid in Fulton County reeks of ulterior motives.

Republicans control the White House, House, & Senate and orchestrated this DHS funding lapse.
Democrats have offered commonsense plan to rein in ICE & CBP while keeping the rest of DHS fully funded.
GOP must join us & stop out-of-control ICE and CBP from trampling on the rights of all Americans.

In 24 hours, Republicans have blocked FIVE attempts from Democrats to fund TSA, FEMA, our cyber defenses, & Coast Guard while talks continue to rein in ICE & Border Patrol.
Republicans are holding TSA agents' paychecks hostage so they can give more $ to ICE, with no reforms.
Further mischief on offshore wind means further pause on permitting reform. Let’s hope we can go forward without further mischief.

EPA’s own Inspector General found that BILLIONS in grants were awarded properly, refuting Trump EPA chief’s baseless claims of 'waste, fraud, and abuse'.
Zeldin's crusade has always been a total smoke screen to distract from his fossil fuel dirty work.
Their pollution compromises Earth’s natural systems, and their corruption compromises America’s political systems. We won’t be free until we’re rid of their power.
They don’t want an America that works for anyone but them, and their main cause is to be able to pollute for free. They are dangerous.
The fossil-fuel billionaire takeover makes a sham of America’s constitutional structure. Btw, they captured the Supreme Court as well.
Fossil-fuel-funded Republican president and fossil-fuel-funded Republicans in Congress have no reason to quarrel; they answer to the same master.
Fossil-fuel billionaires’ takeover of the Republican Party means they pull all the strings.

This is good news. Let’s hope these calves do not become victims of vessel strikes or fishing gear entanglements, the two leading causes of death for these whales.
Trump’s message is clear: polluters win; you lose.

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just blocked my bill to fund TSA and FEMA... AGAIN.
This isn't complicated: if Republicans won't agree to rein in ICE & CBP, they should AT MINIMUM work with us to fund TSA.
But they won't.
Trump's submissiveness to Putin is highly suspicious.
Now they're insulting Trump, yet he stays submissive to Putin.
Something’s up with Trump/Russia.
Is it Trump/Russia/Epstein?
Watching Vladimir Kara-Murza deliver Marie Colvin Lecture and remind us that Mussolini said that he had seized power and destroyed democracy “by plucking the chicken feather by feather,” so no one notices.
Let’s notice.
What they understand is that the side deals matter more than the deals, and taking care of Trump CronyWorld matters more than outcomes. And, yep, you can’t get that from the professionals.

Here's the truth:
Senate Republicans could pay our TSA agents and fund FEMA today. In fact, they could've funded it last week. @democrats.senate.gov brought a simple, clean bill that would fund these essential agencies while we keep negotiating on ICE and CBP.
Republicans blocked it.
Reposted bySenator Sheldon Whitehouse
Democrats want to get TSA agents paid, but we won't help Republicans cut a blank check to help Stephen Miller terrorize Americans.
And I won’t let Trump blackmail Democrats into funding rogue ICE agents just because he started a war with Iran.
