Senate Budget Democrats

Fighting for an economy that puts workers and families first. The latest news from Ranking Member @SenJeffMerkley and Senate Budget Committee Dems.

🚨🚨This is a BIG win, but the fight against the Republicans’ ICE and Border Patrol funding bill isn’t over.

[Senate Budget Democrats @SenateBudget]

Because of Trump, Americans are spending more and saving less. It’s not a “doomer view.”

[Senate Budget Democrats @SenateBudget]

ICE and Border Patrol are sitting on $100 BILLION and Republicans still want to give them $70 BILLION more.

They’re more interested in funding Trump’s private police force than focusing on anything Americans really need.

[Senate Budget Democrats @SenateBudget]

Trump sued the American people to give taxpayer money to his supporters. It’s blatant corruption and Democrats are united in stopping it.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Democrats are fighting to block Trump’s “cash for cronies” slush fund for good.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

With Trump, it’s ALWAYS families lose, billionaires win.

HAPPENING NOW 👇

Tune in as @SenSchumer and @SenJeffMerkley speak live from the U.S. Capitol: https://t.co/X9OWuwdzi8

[Senate Budget Democrats @SenateBudget]

OUTRAGEOUS: This is another attempt by Trump and Russ Vought to consolidate political power and make over $1 TRILLION in funding decisions based on ideology.

Every cent of taxpayer money should be spent improving Americans’ lives—not weaponized for Trump’s political agenda.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

First, it was $1 billion for a gold plated ballroom.
Then, nearly $2 billion for his “cash for cronies” slush fund.

How will Trump defraud the American people next?

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

I’m a HELL NO on Trump’s “cash for cronies” slush fund scheme.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Trump and his administration have no solution to skyrocketing gas prices, so they just keep promising they’ll come down “very quickly”….

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

No relief for health care. No relief for groceries. No relief for your electric bill. But $1 billion for a ballroom and $1.8 billion for a corrupt slush fund. That's the Republican agenda.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

Groceries and gas prices are soaring thanks to Trump’s illegal tariffs and painful war.

None of these price increases were inevitable – they’re a direct result of policy choices by this President.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

Republicans moved heaven and earth to pass tax breaks for billionaires and mega corporations—and then Trump walked away from minimum wage and overtime protections for nearly 4 million workers. 

This is as anti-worker and pro-billionaire as it gets.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Trump’s corruption knows no bounds.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Trump and Republicans want to fund Trump’s billionaire ballroom with your tax dollars.

Here’s how we would spend that $1 billion instead:

[Senator Ruben Gallego @SenRubenGallego]

$4.80 a gallon. Arizona summers are already brutal and now families may have to choose between the AC and the gas tank.

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

Let's make billionaires pay their fair share and find out

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Watch @SenJeffMerkley rip into Trump’s blatantly corrupt, taxpayer-funded slush fund for MAGA loyalists.

“Think about any other country in the world where you've read about corruption. Have you read about a president giving himself $1.8 billion to hand out to his friends?!”

[Senate Budget Democrats @SenateBudget]

THE REPUBLICAN AGENDA: COSTS. CHAOS. CORRUPTION.
