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.

@markwarner.bsky.social 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 three boxes. Now Trump wants to hand him the keys to all 18 intelligence agencies.

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. @coons.senate.gov

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 Republicans BLOCKED Sen. @coons.senate.gov amendment to bar taxpayer funds from going to insurrectionists who assaulted law enforcement officers. Shameful.

The Senate just voted on @padilla.senate.gov’s amendment to require ICE and CBP officers to wear body cams. This is common sense. But Republicans voted NO.

50-49—By one vote the GOP chose to keep Trump’s insurrectionist slush fund dream alive After they fumbled around for hours, we needed one more Republican to muster the courage to end Trump’s taxpayer handout to cop beaters & felons As per usual, they were spineless www.politico.com/news/2026/06...

We are still fighting back on the Senate floor. Senate Democrats will continue to hold Trump and the Republicans accountable—vote by vote.

Republicans just blocked @baldwin.senate.gov's amendment to redirect a fraction of the $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol toward child care. Sen. Baldwin: “When child care is not accessible, our entire economy suffers.”

Now: @kim.senate.gov introduced an amendment that would hold ICE accountable for the horrible conditions at Delaney Hall. “What I saw over this past week were terrible conditions… We need to make sure that we are holding ICE accountable”

Senate Republicans would rather fund ICE and CBP with no reforms than pass @kim.senate.gov's amendment that would audit conditions at Delaney Hall immigration detention center.

“This vote should be 100-0, because those who attack our democracy are not victims, they are criminals.” @hickenlooper.senate.gov proposed an amendment to ban use of federal funds to pay anyone convicted of election crimes Senate Republicans opposed it.

Senate Republicans just tried to sneak the SAVE America Act into their ICE funding bill Senate Democrats will not let voter suppression legislation pass now OR EVER. @padilla.senate.gov with the facts.

Trump’s slush fund will pay off his political allies using YOUR taxpayer dollars. Do you think that's fair? I don't. — @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social

Bill Pulte is completely unqualified to be Director of National Intelligence. That’s why Senate Democrats introduced an amendment to block unfit nominees from serving as our DNI @markwarner.bsky.social: “This role is too important to be filled by a part-time unqualified individual.”

BREAKING: Republicans blocked @hassan.senate.gov’s amendment to build 7 million new, affordable homes. “As families struggle with high costs, we should be focused on making life more affordable for American families—starting with housing.”

“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.” —@ossoff.senate.gov

Republicans want to give Trump’s rogue police force an additional $70 billion. That same money could be used to build and preserve 2.1 million homes to help tackle America’s housing crisis. @reed.senate.gov

Now: @merkley.senate.gov just put forward an amendment to kill Trump's taxpayer funded billion-dollar ballroom. The Senate GOP once again voted against the American people and bowed down to Trump.

Republicans want to give $70 BILLION to ICE and CBP. “It should be going to improve the lives of Americans.” @schiff.senate.gov

While Republicans eat lobster in Washington, their policies are making groceries unaffordable at home.

Donald Trump loves his $2 billion slush fund for cop beaters. Senate Democrats would rather use that money to lower costs for American families and are putting Republicans on the record. @markey.senate.gov

Senate Republicans should show some backbone and vote with Democrats to stop Trump’s blatant corruption. —@booker.senate.gov

Senate Democrats are going to force votes and put Republicans on the record over Trump’s corrupt $2 billion slush fund. Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social: “There will be a vote on the Senate floor to permanently ban a police beaters fund like this, and we'll see if Republicans are really serious.”

Gas prices are up. Grocery prices are up. Housing costs are up. And the business of this Republican-led Senate is to give tax breaks to billionaires and $70 billion more to ICE and Border Patrol. How does that possibly serve America? @merkley.senate.gov

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.bsky.social is right—both need to end.

REMINDER: This is what the Senate GOP is fighting to shovel an additional $70 billion dollars toward.

Tomorrow, Republicans are forcing through another $70 billion for ICE and CBP. Legal residents still locked in detention camps. Businesses closed. Parents grabbed from their kids. Yet STILL NO REFORMS. @smith.senate.gov: "This is not how our democracy is supposed to work."

@murray.senate.gov to Sec. Rubio on Trump’s budget request: The administration wants to spend $1.5 trillion on war and not a cent for childcare or to make healthcare more affordable.

If Senate Republicans truly want to stop corruption, then they should join Senate Democrats in supporting legislation to block the blatantly corrupt tax immunity scheme for Trump’s family and permanently ban the $2 billion slush fund. Sen. @vanhollen.senate.gov

As Republicans prepare to pass their party-line bill to fund Trump’s rogue police forces with no accountability, Democrats will force votes to prohibit the MAGA slush fund from being created and ensure Trump’s corrupt IRS settlement does not happen. @booker.senate.gov

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wants you to believe we have the “makings of one of the strongest economies in history.” @warnock.senate.gov: “You’re telling Americans, it is not so bad … they can’t afford anything.”

Farmers are paying sky-high prices for fuel and fertilizer because of Trump’s reckless war in Iran. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent couldn’t seem less concerned. Via @smith.senate.gov

Todd Blanche won’t put anything in writing because he knows that he and Trump are both lying.

Watch @hassan.senate.gov lay out to multimillionaire Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent that Americans are paying more at the grocery store, the gas pump, and for health care, and are losing jobs because of this administration’s policies.

“Every American is subject to audit except Donald Trump and his family. I think that’s absurd.” Senator @wyden.senate.gov confronts Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Trump’s corrupt IRS deal to give his family immunity from tax audits. WATCH:

$1 BILLION for Trump’s stupid-ass ballroom. The guy can’t even dance.

DHS ignored court orders 96 times. WATCH Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social ask Sec. Mullin point blank: will you comply going forward? He couldn't say yes. "If you are a Republican or Democrat on this committee, you should be really freaked out."

Republicans gave Trump's paramilitary force $200B then looked the other way when Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered in broad daylight. Democrats fought for reforms, but Republicans now want to fund it through the end of his presidency, no accountability. Via @murray.senate.gov:

Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social on Trump’s MAGA slush fund: Democrats are going to force votes to say “regardless of what the court says, these kind of funds where the president is just trying to reward his political loyalists with your taxpayer dollars are illegal”

Trump appointing Bill Pulte as acting DNI is going to create a national security crisis. “Ultimately, the price is going to be paid by Americans.” It's going ripple through their lives at their kitchen table and in the security of American armed forces. Via @markey.senate.gov

“This president has set such an unbelievably low standard of conduct that it's critically important for us to remind our kids and our grandkids that this is not the expectation that the American people should have for the conduct by our president.” @bennet.senate.gov

The Senate confirmed Marco Rubio to be America’s chief diplomat. Yet, during one of the highest stakes negotiations, he opted to go watch a fight in Miami.

Bill Pulte led Donald Trump’s efforts to charge and jail his political enemies, now he’s being rewarded with a job he has no business doing. Putting Pulte at the helm of the intelligence community risks American lives just so Trump can keep going after his political opponents.

Jaw droppingly unqualified—Bill Pulte is a danger to national security as DNI. His knee bending sycophancy to Trump only adds insult to injury, mocking & degrading our intelligence community.

Trump clearly does not take national security seriously. At a time when Trump has taken our nation into an ill-conceived war, threats from new technology proliferate, and China continues to remain laser focused on undermining us, having someone with zero national security experience... 1/2

As Trump’s housing czar, Bill Pulte misused his authority, ignored the law, and did Trump’s political dirty work as home prices skyrocketed and affordability worsened. Now, Trump is promoting Pulte – who has NO INTELLIGENCE EXPERIENCE – to Acting Director of National Intelligence. #TrumpWeak

You have to watch @booker.senate.gov grill Sec. Rubio on Trump’s lies about the Iran war. “The war is not over. The American people see how we are losing at the pump and with their costs and yet this thing still hasn’t been resolved.”

Sen. @vanhollen.senate.gov is right: Trump’s foreign policy is a DUMPSTER FIRE.

Watch Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social lay out how Trump’s reckless war in the Middle East has disrupted the global economy and is making life more expensive for Americans. “There is a cost to the Iranian economy but now there is a devastating cost to the U.S. economy.”
