After 15 hours of voting, Senate Republicans forced through $70 billion MORE for ICE & CBP…. And did absolutely nothing to lower Americans’ costs.
No matter what, I will keep fighting to address the rising prices Trump is inflicting on Americans.
After 10 pm and there’s no end in sight. I’ll be here as long as it takes, voting against this crazy giveaway to ICE.
When will Republicans do ANYTHING to lower costs instead?
I just convinced a few Republicans to join me in trying to block Bill Pulte from being DNI…. But the rest couldn’t find a spine.
Disappointing and dangerous, but I’m still fighting.
NEW: I just introduced an amendment that would block Bill Pulte from being DNI.
If even half of my Republican colleagues that have privately voiced concerns about him vote for this… it should pass.
ICE and CBP already have enough money for the next three years. They don't need another $62 billion. So Democrats are forcing a vote on a legislation to reinvest that money in building over 2 million units of affordable housing.
Here we go again.
Republicans have launched another effort to push through a $70 BILLION blank check for ICE and CBP. Not to lower costs. Not to make health care more affordable. But to hand Trump’s rogue federal agents even more money without accountability. https://t.co/bHqqg9y2Zt
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.
We’re voting all day in the Senate today on Republicans’ disastrous $72 billion spending bill.
There’s no need to give ICE – already better funded than most militaries across the globe – even more of your tax dollars while prices surge.
I will be fighting it.
Not only does Trump want a slush fund for insurrectionists and cronies, he’s also giving himself a get-out-of-jail-free card for his rampant tax cheating.
Sen. @MarkWarner is right—both need to end.
Bill Pulte is a Trump sycophant known only for his willingness to attack Trump’s political opponents.
He has no intelligence experience and no military service.
Does anyone really want him to have the keys to our intelligence agencies?
