Senate Republicans advanced a bill last night that would send even more money to an out-of-control ICE.

It also wouldn’t stop the administration from distributing $2 billion to the people who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

This is a BIG win. A judge has now reaffirmed that Trump’s freeze on processing immigration applications for 39 countries is illegal and that processing must restart immediately.

Today’s ruling is not the end of the fight, but it is a major step in the right direction.

BREAKING: Trump is now posting AI-altered images of Bruce Springsteen looking old because he’s so upset that the media caught him sleeping on camera, slouched over, with bruised hands and a drooping face.

New York City just had its safest first 5 months of a year in recorded history.

Murders plunged 21%, and major crime overall is down 11%.

Abortion is health care.

And health care decisions should be made by a woman and her doctor, not by Donald Trump or the federal government.

I will stand up to anyone who tries to take away a woman’s right to make decisions about her own body.

“The danger doesn’t arrive when tanks appear in the streets. It arrives when leaders lose the ability to say no. It arrives when loyalty replaces judgment. It arrives when public officials preserve powers they would never tolerate in the hands of their opponents.”

I’m leaving the Capitol now at 530am after 19 hrs of votes where Senate Republicans passed $70B for ICE/CBP with no accountability after killings of Alex Pretti/Renee Good and no reforms after chaos at Delaney Hall. Zero dollars to help your family pay bills and high gas prices.

Acting AG Todd Blanche says he's working to install "roadblocks" to prevent Democrats from prosecuting Trump and his associates in the future

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

What I saw inside Delaney Hall was unjust. It was cruel.

That’s why I’m fighting to get an audit done immediately and improve conditions.

No more taxpayer dollars to fund this lawlessness.

[Ossoff's Office @SenOssoff]

WATCH: Republicans again blocked Sen. Ossoff's amendment to prevent insurance companies from denying or delaying needed care.

“Instead of slush funds for criminals and corrupt ballrooms, let's do something useful. Let's ban insurance companies from denying or delaying medically necessary health care to Americans," Sen. Ossoff said.

Senate approval of Ukraine bill

In 2024 once the big Ukraine aid bill was passed by the House it was passed by the Senate with 70 votes when only 60 were needed. Many of the Senators are the senior members of Congress who are more responsible and knowledgeable.

I don't see any reason why those 70 Senators would now vote against Ukraine aid.

Trump's influence is slipping away. Congress is not happy with a lot of Trump's policies.

The percentage of MAGA Republicans in the USA has been steadily declining since the tariff fiasco and Trump's needless war against Iran and also the Epstein scandal. Farmers are going broke in red states. There's less support for Trump as a result

[Maksym Borodin @adnashmyash]

@RepClayHiggins Unbelievable that's so little Republicans...
