Trump's efforts to try to ban vote by mail are all part of his scheme to undermine our free and fair elections–and it’s going to take all of We the People to make sure he never succeeds.
Abortion bans are putting women's lives in danger, and it's not by accident.   This is a situation Republicans explicitly manufactured simply because they believe they should decide what a woman does with her body, no matter the consequences.   We've got to keep fighting back.
Senate Republicans are blindly confirming unqualified, MAGA loyalists to lifetime appointments on our federal bench and hoping you won't notice. The only way we can stop this partisan takeover of our courts is with a Democratic Senate majority.
Mifepristone is SAFE and EFFECTIVE—and one of the most studied medications we have. FDA opening a new study has nothing to do with science and everything to do with advancing the anti-abortion movement's agenda to control women's bodies and lives.
Trump's DHS thinks it can avoid answering for the inhumane conditions and rising death toll of its detainees by no longer tracking it. Absolutely not. DHS has something to hide and Members of Congress must fight for transparency & accountability.
Federal agents killed two American citizens in Minneapolis. Tear-gassed and brutalized families. Detained thousands of children and pregnant women. How do Republicans respond? At nearly 5AM they passed $70 billion more for ICE, no questions. No reforms. No accountability.
Instead of doing ANYTHING to help families afford the health care or groceries, Republicans forced a marathon voting session to send ICE a $70 billion check.   No reforms, zero accountability, and they rolled over for Trump—again.   Make sure everyone knows it.
Republicans cheer as the Senate votes 52-47 to approve a $70 billion immigration enforcement funding package. No changes were added to the bill to block the Trump 'anti-weaponization' fund. A House vote is expected next week.
It’s past 4 AM and the Senate is still voting. Why? Because Republicans want to cut ICE another $70 billion check. They found money for Stephen Miller, but there’s nothing to make health care more affordable.
It’s past midnight and Republicans are fighting to pass $70 billion for ICE—but they can't find a single cent to make health care more affordable.   All while Trump's war and tariffs send prices surging.   That's the Republican agenda: Drive costs higher. Do nothing for families.
In case you didn't know, Republicans have put the entire Senate floor on hold so they can jam through a $70 BILLION check for ICE. After all the brutality we've seen, this is how they respond: A blank check and an absolute refusal of commonsense reforms. I'm voting NO.
Republicans should work with Democrats to ban Trump's criminal slush fund. In law. Today. Why won't they? Because the President has explicitly said he LOVES it—and Republicans are more than willing to cut checks to violent insurrectionists with YOUR tax dollars.
Back in March, Rubio said this war would end in "weeks, not months." Yet, here we are, 4 months later. Hundreds of troops injured or killed. Billions of dollars set on fire for a war Americans do NOT support.
Republicans voted down an amendment to block Trump's $1.8 BILLION slush fund for violent insurrectionists. They're choosing to bend the knee to this corrupt President who wants to pay off cop beaters—all while Trump & Republicans won't spend a cent to lower health care costs.
50 Senate Republicans just blocked a measure that would permanently stop Trump from creating his $1.8B slush fund for J6ers
BREAKING: Senate Republicans have just begun a marathon vote-a-rama in the Senate. Why? Not to lower health care or housing costs. Instead, they are fighting tooth & nail to give ICE another $70 billion blank check with ZERO reforms. A disgrace.
Trump and Stephen Miller built up a paramilitary force at DHS that they essentially promised immunity, and set it loose on American communities. I'm not going to write a blank check for a federal agency that refuses to distinguish between American citizens and violent criminals.
I'll take my wins where I can get 'em! My bill with @repricklarsen.bsky.social to restore marine habitats in the Northwest Straits just passed the House! I'll keep working to get it through the Senate so we can keep protecting marine species & growing WA state's outdoor recreation economy! 🌊🛶🌲
It's been two weeks since I connected Trump's Acting Attorney General with Epstein survivors and they haven't heard a peep from the DOJ. That's disgraceful. Todd Blanche said he'd meet with them—and I will not let him off the hook. Epstein survivors deserve justice.
I trust Trump about as far as I could throw him. Congress needs to BAN any kind of corrupt slush fund like this from EVER existing. A wink and a nod won't cut it—we need to ban it by LAW.
MENG: Are you going to issue new memo in writing rescinding weaponization fund? BLANCHE: I'm not committing to putting anything in writing. What would the purpose be? M: You established it in writing so it makes sense to rescind it in writing B: Ok. I'm not committing to doing anything in writing
