While hardworking Americans are being crushed by rising costs, Republicans in Congress are working to give ICE another $70 BILLION in taxpayer funding instead of fighting to make life more affordable for families. The American people deserve better.

Tonight, I voted to put an end to the president’s disastrous war in the Middle East that is putting our troops in harm’s way and driving up costs on hardworking families. The Senate must immediately take up this resolution and reassert Congress’s constitutional War Powers authority.

The Director of National Intelligence is essential to keeping American families safe and protecting the homeland. Such an enormous responsibility should not be given to an individual that has never served in an intelligence role and has proven to put politics above the rule of law.

While families & mom-and-pop businesses faced the brunt of the damage caused by the president’s illegal tariff scheme, the administration’s current refund system prioritizes payments for giant corporations. @repanalilia.bsky.social & I are calling for targeted relief to those hurt the most.

While Americans are struggling to put food on the table, keep up with rising energy costs, and pay for health care, the administration is focused on illegally putting the president’s face on money. As the president made very clear: “I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation"
