Early this morning, Republicans used their Senate majority to force through a budget bill that gives $70 billion to ICE.
Instead of focusing on lowering costs, they’re pouring taxpayer dollars into an agency that has brutalized, dehumanized, and killed Americans in our streets.

This merger is far from a done deal—federal and international regulators still need to sign off, state attorneys general have to review, and those of us in the Senate who want to protect Americans from the crush of corporate consolidation will continue to press for answers.
Also, RFK's math equation yesterday in the Senate was a price reduction from $600 to $10, which is a 98% reduction. Morons and liars.
Watch @booker.senate.gov explain why Senate Democrats will continue to force Republicans to vote on War Powers Resolutions:
“It is unconscionable and shameful for this Senate to not step up and do something, and that's why we're trying to force a debate onto the Senate floor.”
If Republicans wanted to lower your costs, they would.
They control the House, Senate and White House.
Inaction is a CHOICE.
‼️ Last night while you were sleeping, Senate Republicans passed a blank check of $70 BILLION dollars to fund ICE (with ZERO reforms added).
Democrats offered amendments to use this money to fund health care, school meals, childcare, and reverse Republican cuts to SNAP and food assistance...
Senate Republicans voted against lowering out-of-pocket health care costs, reversing cuts to food programs, and a measure to lower rising electricity prices in their budget blueprint.
But they voted to give Trump’s ICE thugs $70 billion to keep terrorizing our communities.
Priorities.
Alex Vindman is running for Senate in FL as a Democrat. Watch him deny the genocide in Palestine despite the fact that 85% of global genocide scholars call it genocide. Watch as he compares the genocide of over 100k Palestinians to ICE fascism in the United States. Shameless dehumanization.
Last night, Senate Republicans just approved another $70 billion for ICE to terrorize communities across the country.
I won’t support a single dollar more until ICE is dismantled and fundamentally reformed.
No blank checks. Not now, not ever. www.cbsnews.com/news/senate-...
In a flurry of rapid-fire votes, most Senate Republicans spurned a group of measures that would lower everyday costs for Americans while separately moving to approve $70 billion for immigration enforcement.
Senate rejects measures to lower the cost of gas and food.

In the middle of the night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE billions to continue the President’s mass deportation campaign.
When families are struggling to afford gas, groceries, & more, Senate Republicans proved they care more about President Trump’s wishes than the needs of Americans.
ASR, the polling firm run by Ivan Moore (@alaskasurvey.bsky.social), has a new poll of Alaska's Senate race today.
It finds Mary Peltola at 50.2%, with Senator Sullivan at 43.6% & another Republican (Jim Ryan) at 6.2% in the 2nd round of RCV.
Americans called, emailed & marched — and it worked.
The SAVE Act has stalled in the Senate, delivering a major defeat for anti-voter lawmakers pushing a bill that could’ve locked out married women, rural voters, communities of color, & military voters.
The people have the final say.
Oh, honey . . . if Democrats could *really* rig elections, why aren't they in power in the White House, Senate, House, and Supreme Court right now? You're such a simple thing.
While families continue to struggle with rising costs, Senate Republicans are advancing a budget without addressing affordability.
Affordability is *the* issue, and our budget should reflect that. #FightForAffordability

There are a thousand reasons Susan Collins doesn't deserve a sixth term in the Senate. But this, alone, is enough to disqualify her from ever holding public office again.
Democrats lost the vote but held together, which will boost their overall campaign to take the Senate back
