Senate Democrats

We are the Senate Democrats, and we're working hard for the American people.

[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:

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

ICYMI: Senate Republicans cheered after spending 18 hours passing a rotten bill that makes their priorities painfully clear: more money for Donald Trump, more power for Donald Trump, and nothing to lower costs for working families.

[Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray]

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.

[Sen. Tammy Baldwin @SenatorBaldwin]

Trump will be in Wisconsin today, meeting with the farmers he’s been hurting with his reckless policies. Whether it's his trade war or his war in Iran, business has been so much harder for them, and this is not how we repay the folks who work hard to keep our families fed.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

At around 5am, after voting all night, Senate Republicans voted to give ICE $70 BILLION more in your taxpayer dollars. No reforms or changes made. 

We can still fight this.

[Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono]

“Average U.S. household paying $450 more on gas and energy”

$450 MORE since Trump started the Iran war.

Because Trump cares more about abusing his power to launch an illegal war, than he does about affordability or the well-being of the American people.

[Mark Warner @MarkWarner]

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.

[Senator Ben Ray Luján @SenatorLujan]

While you were asleep, Republicans sold you out.

This is a betrayal of New Mexico families

[Senator Gary Peters @SenGaryPeters]

Senate Republicans just rubber-stamped a bill that gives ICE and CBP $70 billion without requiring any new guardrails or meaningful reforms. At a time when Americans are struggling with rising costs from the President’s war in Iran, spending billions more taxpayer dollars on President Trump's extreme immigration enforcement agenda makes no sense. This is simply not a responsible way to govern.

My Democratic colleagues and I fought to include measures to improve transparency, strengthen accountability, and help ensure DHS personnel are held to the same standards as our local law enforcement officers. Instead, Senate Republicans side-stepped the bipartisan appropriations process, blocking every commonsense reform we proposed, and voting to keep the President’s $1.7 billion slush fund for rioters who attacked law enforcement in place. Congress should do its job to act as a check on this Administration. Unfortunately, Senate Republicans will only cower to President Trump’s demands. 

I voted against this partisan spending legislation and will continue to work with my colleagues to fight rein in ICE and this Administration’s reckless policies.

[Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons]

Senate Republicans had a choice early this morning.

They could stop taxpayer dollars from going to people convicted of assaulting police on January 6.

Instead, they blocked my amendment.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Not one penny included in this legislation will help struggling American families with the rising cost of gas, groceries, housing, or health care.

But Republicans were able to scrounge up $70 billion to support the President’s mass deportation campaign that has terrorized communities in Illinois and across the country and targeted immigrants without a criminal record.

It’s a shame that—once again—Senate Republicans have bowed to President Trump rather than help the American people.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Todd Blanche covered up the Epstein files.

Bill Pulte used confidential mortgage data to go after Trump's enemies.
Now Trump wants to give them the two most powerful law enforcement and intelligence jobs in the country.

Sen. @ChrisCoons

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Sen. @MarkWarner on the qualifications for a promotion in the Trump administration:
✅ Wealthy
✅ Trump supporter
✅ Used confidential mortgage data to go after political enemies
Bill Pulte checked all 3 boxes. Now Trump wants to hand him the keys to all 18 intelligence agencies.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

Senate Republicans just passed a rotten bill that makes their priorities painfully clear:

More money for Donald Trump, more power for Donald Trump, and nothing to lower costs for working families.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Republicans just BLOCKED @ChrisCoons’ amendment to prohibit payments from Trump’s slush funds to January 6th insurrectionists who assaulted law enforcement.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Republicans just PASSED the reconciliation bill, shoveling another $70 BILLION toward ICE+CBP.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Republicans just BLOCKED @SenAdamSchiff’s amendment to DRAIN the MAGA slush fund.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Republicans just BLOCKED @ChrisVanHollen’s amendment to prohibit slush fund payouts to individuals convicted of certain crimes.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Republicans just blocked @SenCortezMasto’s amendment to redirect ICE funding and invest in community policing and crime prevention.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Republicans just BLOCKED @WydenPress’s amendment to REVOKE Trump’s IRS immunity deal.

[Senate Democrats @SenateDems]

Republicans just BLOCKED @SenJackyRosen’s amendment to reimburse first responders for Trump’s sky-high gas prices.
