Trump can’t figure out how to score a point on Russia or China, so he’s punishing our allies and kicking our own economy in the teeth.

Booker, just minutes away from the speaking record: "This is when the most precious ideas of our country are being tested, where the Constitution and the question is being called -- Where does the constitution live? On paper? Or in our hearts? This is the moment."

So let me get this straight—Trump’s nat sec adviser added a JOURNALIST to a group chat on classified Yemen strike plans?? This isn’t a group project, it’s national security.

They screamed “Lock her up” over emails, but leaking war plans is cool now? Make it make sense.

It’s time for new leadership in the senate. If it wasn’t obvious before Schumers capitulation yesterday it’s clear now. Without electing a new generation of leaders we will continue to cave to GOP and loose our rights. The status quo is over, we’re no longer asking for the minimum. We want it all!

The Republicans’ budget bill that passed the Senate is nothing short of devastating.

And every Representative & Senator who voted to support it has let down the communities that elected them to be their voice in Congress.

The terrible CR Budget bill — written by right-wing House Republicans with no input from anybody but themselves — was passed tonight with the support of 10 Democrats.
 
An absolute failure of Democratic leadership. NOBODY in the Senate should have voted for this dangerous bill.

Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

BREAKING: Millions of Americans have been betrayed by TEN SENATE DEMOCRATS who voted with Republicans to advance a GOP-crafted funding bill.

Ultimately, the bill will give the Trump administration even greater control over the budget as Trump and Musk continue to dismantle and destroy the…

To the 10 “Democrats” that voted with the republicans to further fund Trump and Musks regime, words can’t express how pathetic you all are. I hope every single one of you gets primaries and loose your seats.

When you had a chance to stand up and fight for us you caved like cowards.

Senate Democrats:

Don’t betray working families. Don’t give Trump and Elon Musk a blank check. Don’t be complicit in the slashing of government programs.

Vote NO on cloture and NO on final passage of Republicans’ bad bill.

The GOP’s CR is a total abdication of Congress’ duty. It hands power to Trump & Musk to continue to destroy our government and slash vital programs while they enrich themselves.

Democrats must FIGHT BACK, not roll over. The Senate must vote NO on cloture.

Anyone else not able to get through to Senators when calling to vote NO on cloture and the CR? Calls aren’t going through a yes vote is a betrayal to the American people! 🇺🇸

Donald Trump’s cuts to Medicaid will blow a massive hole in our state budget and leave thousands without care.

There’s a storm coming from Washington. Republicans and Democrats should work together to protect our state from Trump.

Defend our people, not the President.
